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.

NIGERIAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, A BAND OF THIEVES?


Anyone following the current brewing 2.4 billion Naira cars-purchase scandal in the Nigerian House of Representatives, will automatically be taken aback to the forced resignation of a one time Madam-speaker of the same house, Ms. Patricia Etteh. However why Oladimeji Sabur Bankole, the current speaker has not followed suit and resigned his office as speaker, baffles ever right thinking man and woman all over the world particularly Nigeria. Why should the treatment for a woman speaker be different from that of a man speaker? Icheokudotcom therefore call on Oladimeji Bankole to resign his office as speaker, forthwith to enable full investigation into this alleged fraud.
One thing that stands out of this controversy is that retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, Senator Nuhu Aliyu may after-all be right when he accused the Nigerian House of Representatives of accommodating some members who are known criminal 419 perpetrators. He was cowed down, cajoled and threatened with both bodily harm and harm to his family for daring to speak out the truth. The powers that be forced Nuhu Aliyu to retract his accusation and subsequently made to apologise for his observation.
What Nigeria is witnessing today is a House of Representatives operating in a very fishy-like manner, comparable to the stealthy ways of atypical 419 criminal operators. How can a multi billion Naira contract be awarded without necessary transparency and due process? The former speaker Patricia Ette got mired in a six (600) hundred million Naira house-furnishing contract scandal and was forced out of office; now Oladimeji Bankole should not be an exception. If Ette went so should Bankole, except if it was male chauvinism that forced out the woman former speaker and not necessarily for her alleged corrupt practices.

Icheokudotcom
says that the problem with Nigeria is not her leadership but Nigerians themselves who provide that type of leadership that are largely thieves, only waiting for the right opportunity and time to strike. Why trade a female-thief for another male-thief? Look at the people representing Nigerians, band of bandits whose only relevance is that they loot and steal from the masses without let or hindrance. Enough of this bawdy thievery. The car scandal must and should be investigated to its logical conclusion, in order to manifest a willingness to fight corruption in the Nigerian House of Representatives. If the House of Representatives truly represent the Nigerian people and they are patently that corrupt, it is a reflective of a society that made them their representatives. It is maddening, the crass disposition to corruptly enrich themselves, of these men and women whose actions and unconstitutional behaviour does not augur well for a seemly elected representatives of the people of Nigeria. The only way to make this right or right the wrong of this 2.4 billion Naira car scandal is to get to its bottom in an open investigation devoid of the usual hush-hush, mush-mush attitude of governments in Nigeria. It should be a no-holds bare investigation. Only in this way, will the confidence of the Nigerian people be restored once again in her House of Representatives; otherwise they will be seen and perceived as a band of thieves!.
