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.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

"There is too much hate in America because there is too much anger in America." - Trevor Noah.

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

MAGA LIVES ON: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER!

WORD.

"If you cannot speak the truth when it matters, then nothing else you says matters.” - Tucker Carlson.

#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.

FACEBOOK, BANNED IN AND BY ISLAMIC SHARIA NORTHERN NIGERIA?

When the world thought they have heard the last of Islamic Sharia Northern Nigeria, out of their Islamic hat, they have pulled the mother of all surprises - they have banned Facebook?
Recall that it is the same place that gave the world the unwanted gift of the last Christmas day would be diaper-bomber, Farouk Abdulmutallab? The same people also were the merchants of death in the recent slaughter in Jos-Nigeria of more than 500 innocent women and children in their sleep? It is the same people that produced the renegade Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua who have remained incommunicado for over 130 days, absconding from his duty post at Aso Rock? It is the same people that prevented the hosting of Miss World beauty pageant in Nigeria both in Abuja and Lagos Nigeria? It is the same Islamic Sharia Northern Nigerian people that protested a cartoon in far away Danish newspaper in Nigeria, destroying so much in their mad zealotry fury? It is then needless to add that it is the same people that have held Nigeria hostage since its independence in 1960 and the cause majore` of a Nigeria in comatose?
Now in order not to be outdone by China with its face-off with Google, the Islamic Sharia Northern Nigeria have imposed an outright ban on the online powerhouse, Facebook? Icheoku asks, would this affront on 21st century global connectivity be allowed to stand in a Nigeria that is looking forward to realizing its 7-point agenda and launch itself into a global power player? Simply propositioned, if these human specimens are bent on taking Nigeria back to the stone-age, why don't they just go alone and unaccompanied; or must they drag everyone before will make that move? They should just secede, move away to make way, and take a hike to the mountains of Tora-Borah to rendezvous with their Taliban brotherhood or better still just pull out of Nigeria and form their own separate Wahhabi Islamic territory as Libyan Moummar Gaddafi has propositioned? Gideon Orkar, it will recalled once nearly granted them this 'everybody's wish,' that they just leave the others alone and in peace?
According to the gist coming out of the reclusive Islamic Sharia Northern Nigeria, Facebook was banned because they allowed their portal to be used by some human rights activists who were sharing their disgust and disbelief that in 21st century Nigeria, a section of its polity could indulge in the act of human mutilation under any guise, be it Islamic law enforcement or any other? These mullahs would have the world know of their human-mutilation business and instead prefers to be hitting somebody while preventing that person from also crying? In other words, they prefer that the story of their inhumanity to a fellow man remain shrouded in secrecy and that no outsider gets a pip into the goings on in their enclave? Icheoku says, what a shame that these kind of ruthless people are still sharing the same geographical entity with the rest of other more civilized and more humane Nigerians?

The story continues that one Mallam Buba Bello Jangebe in March 22, 2000 had his right wrist hacked-off, for petty theft, by the Islamic Sharia Zamfara State government in adherence to their Islamic Sharia prescription for such offence? A group of human rights activists/civil society organisation, Civil Rights Congress (CRC), in commemoration of the 10 year anniversary of the first government-sanctioned human mutilation ever recorded in Nigeria, picked up the story and were analyzing it online via Facebook. But the Sharia court ordered the group to cease and desist from further discussing of the matter and issued an injunction restraining what he termed 'their Facebook activism?' It is also worthy of note that it is the same al-Queida's second in command, Egyptian Ahman al-Zawahiri's group, the Muslim Brotherhood Association, that its Nigerian branch petitioned in this case to stop and/or ban the 'Face-booking' of this human cruelty to another man! They had brought a suit asking for injunction against further online discussion on Facebook of this human mutilation; claiming in their argument that to allow the online activism to continue will amount to "inciting the people against Sharia law and its amputation doctrine?" Explaining why the brotherhood sought the injunction, its Nigeria chapter leader, Mallam Abu Sufyan, said it was in order to protect the sanctity of Islamic Sharia law decisions and to protect the image of Islam which is being threatened by such a debate on Facebook?
Icheoku cries bloody murder; and says, imagine this people speaking of 'image' when their daily actions is their worst nightmare and continually soil their so called image? What a logic on its head this Mallam Sufyan just canvassed? But what do you expect from a group which expects to be rewarded with 70 virgins in a delusional Eldorado after suicide-bombing and killing hundreds of innocent people; but will not flinch at the slaughtering hundreds of innocent women and children in their sleep? Icheoku hopes it will not be out of place to remind us all that it is the same religion that its adherents, flew two planes into the World trade Centers and just last 48 hours blew people up in a Moscow's underground; yet this mullah is talking about image? An image which befits a whore or an armed robber? Anyway the good news however is that no matter the outcome of a planned appeal of the case, luckily enough, the res is beyond the the reach of Islamic Sharia-Northern Nigeria. Also enforcing this retrogressive judgment will be impossible since Facebook is beyond the jurisdictional forum of the Northern Nigeria Islamic Sharia court, also their host-server is not located in Nigeria? However aware of the shortcomings, limitations and possibilities in Nigeria, the court might try and hold personally responsible, anyone that participates in such online discussion who is locally based within the Islamic Northern territory! Nigeria, when will this eye-sore that is Islamic Sharia Northern Nigeria be permanently taken care of?
