GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

A HERO IS BORN.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

WORD!

A life without challenges is not a life lived at all. A life lived is a life that has problems, confronts problems, solves problems and then learns from problems. - Tunde Fashola.

NOW, YOU KNOW.

When fishing for love, bait with your heart and not your brain, because you cannot rationalize love. - Mark Twain.

JUST THE FACT.

In our country, you can shoot and kill a nigger, but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings - Dave Chappelle

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

"To all the women who testified, we may have different truth, but I have a great remorse for all of you. I have great remorse for all of the men and women going through this crisis right now in our country. You know, the movement started basically with me, and I think what happened, you know, I was the first example, and now there are thousands of men who are being accused and a regeneration of things that I think none of us understood. I’m not going to say these aren’t great people. I had wonderful times with these people. I’m just genuinely confused. Men are confused about this issue. We are going through this #MeToo movement crisis right now in this country." - Harvey Weinstein.


RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

"If it’s radical to oppose the insanity and cruelty of the Vietnam War, if it’s radical to oppose racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression, if it’s radical to want to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, and other forms of human misery, then I’m proud to be called a radical.” - Ron Vernie Dellums.


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

EVIL CANNOT BE TRULY DESTROYED.

"The threat of evil is ever present. We can contain it as long as we stay vigilant, but it can never truly be destroyed. - Lorraine Warren (Annabelle, the movie)


ONLY THE POOR WISH THEY HAD STUFF?

“I’m not that interested in material things. As long as I find a good bed that I can sleep in, that’s enough.” - Nicolas Berggruem, the homeless billionaire.

NSOBUNDU, NIGERIAN COUPLE IN AMERICA WHO ENSLAVED A NANNY?

Icheoku says less than five days after Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari berated Nigerians in Diaspora as "criminals", in American State of Texas, two Nigerians, a couple, Chudy and Sandra Nsobundu, have given impetus to the president's outburst. The couple were arrested for holding a woman they smuggled  from Nigeria captive for two long years. According to the story, the couple converted the woman to an indentured servant, forcing her to take care of the couple's five children and for two long years without ever paying her for her forced labor services. 

Chudy 56 and Sandra 50 are being detained and awaiting trial for offenses ranging from forced labor, withholding documents (passport), conspiracy to harbor illegal immigrant and visa fraud. If convicted on all the charges, they could receive sentences ranging up to 55 years in Federal prison each. They are also looking at a possible fine of about $250,000 including restitution for services rendered but not paid for. They equally abused their captive physically and verbally, forced her to do all manner of domestic chore including cooking and cleaning, in addition to caring for the couple's five kids; and was forced to work from 5:30am t0 1:00am - literally round the clock with little to no food, rest or sleep. They also refused her access to television and denied her hot water bath and will not allow her to sleep on a bed but on the floor. 

Also "she was not allowed to eat fresh food but leftover scraps from previously prepared meals. She was not allowed to drink milk except she cleverly stole some from the children's cereal. She was also forced to remain indoors under a form of house arrest and to make matters worse, the paltry $100 per month they agreed was to be her salary and paid directly into her bank in Nigeria, was similarly withheld and never made due on. Sources also confirm that none of the five children is the couple's biological child as they adopted or are fostering them. So it is possible that the couple are receiving state benefits and support for those children and wanted to keep all the money to themselves. Icheoku says regrettable; but unfortunately, some Nigerians, in their drive to play a fast one, are giving the general populace a bad name. Peradventure, validating President Muhammadu Buhari's assertion that Nigerians, especially those in Diaspora are criminals.
