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

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.

NUHU RIBADU IS A FRAUD, ACCEPTS STOLEN MONEY FROM POLITICIANS?

As then EFCC chairman, Nuhu Ribadu once said concerning former governor Bolaji Tinubu of Lagos State, "Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu's corruption is of international dimension!" But now as a fake politician and a hopeless presidential candidate/president wanna be, who is being sponsored by the same 'thieving' Bola Tinubu, the skinny mallam from Taraba State has made a shameful about-turn; engaging in a somersault of gargantuan proportion.
Responding to a reporter's question on how to reconcile his previous public stand and indictment of Bola Tinubu when he was EFCC chairman and his now receiving so many perks from the same Bola Tinubu, including a planned sponsorship of his presidential crawl, Nuhu Ribadu quipped, "I won’t bother myself with the integrity of politicians that will sponsor my campaign.” Icheoku cries holly macro, and says what an irony of life that a man's tide could be so easily swayed and in this horrible fashion; sending a rising political neophyte plummeting back into the cesspool of now political untouchables? Which politician in the entire global political firmament would have answered a curve-ball question in such an unfiring-brain manner? Nuhu Ribadu just committed a political suicide as he unwittingly decimated the only thing he prides himself as having - incorruptible candor? Icheoku adds, whether or not 'the money was put in Ribadu's pocket' or used to facilitate his movement and/or his fantasy political aspiration is immaterial, since the source of the money, proceeds of Lagos State's looting; and the knowledge thereto that it was sources illegally is what controls culpability and Ribadu stands complicit.
Even the biblical Esau was not this complicit when he sold his birthright for a pot of porridge; as Nuhu Ribadu, the self-acclaimed anti-corruption 'saint' of yesterday have now turned himself into an accessory after the fact and beneficiary of Tinubu's stolen money largesse? Or should Icheoku say, a receiver of stolen goods since the money which Tinubu allegedly stole belonged to Lagos State and Nuhu Ribadu, despite being fully aware of the source of the money, is now partaking of its drunken-sailor like profligacious spending?
According to necessary implication of this Nuhu Ribadu's pathetic answer, 'Bolaji Tinubu's sins of looting Lagos State's coffers has been forgiven, because some of the stolen money has now been laundered into sponsoring his (Nuhu Ribadu) journey to Nigeria's presidency; and Icheoku might as well add, only in his malaria induced fantasy dreams of sort.

Ordinarily Icheoku would not have bathed an eyelid about Nuhu Ribadu and his confused state of arrogant assumption of importance, but because this very sanctimonious, holier than thou and overtly over-ambitious mallam, Nuhu Ribadu, a duckling who thought that having feathers alone makes him an eagle, has been deceiving Nigerians with his hallucinatory impeccable character and for too long. This slip-off, an uncouth and unintelligent response to an honest question really exposes the underbelly, the constitution and the very core of this Islamic fraud, Nuhu Ribadu; who has by this particular flip-flop now undeniably proved himself to be a conman trying to pull a wool over the eyes of Nigerians. Icheoku says, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has been living a lie as to his character traits, since he who freely partakes in crime proceeds might as well become the criminal.
Nuhu Ribadu is currently jobless and someone has been bankrolling his expenses, including flying around in Nigeria to deliver his useless talks/lectures ever since he went back to Nigeria from his publicity exile, so Icheoku wants to know who this person/s is/are; or better still the source of his funding? Nuhu Ribadu's changed position with regards to his previously investigated and indicted Bolaji Tinubu, shows clearly that he has no scruples with spending stolen money despite his claims of high morality and being above board.
Icheoku queries, could it be an evidence that the resident-evil of Nigeria, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, was indeed right for once when he said that "Gani Fawehimni was the only one Nigerian that has no price tag"; and if Icheoku may, does anyone know how much it cost Bolaji Tinubu to purchase Nuhu Ribadu?
In short some of us were never deceived by the plotting, conniving and scheming of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, as we knew since that he was no different from all those politicians and bankers he was hounding for corruption as then EFCC chairman. Now that the wind has blown and exposed the chicken's ass, Nigerians have seen how the same former anti-corruption czar Nuhu Ribadu has conveniently and comfortably joined the same corrupt men and women he was deriding on the dinning table for dinner, both of which were bought with stolen money? Icheoku flatly declares, 'he who partakes of crime proceeds is also a criminal' and Nuhu Ribadu should convince Nigerians otherwise. And this anorexic Islamic northern Nigerian mallam said he wants to rule Nigeria, what a pathetic and pitiable proposition indeed only realizable in his la-la dreamland!
