ICHEOKU: STEPHANIE TUBBS JONES IS GONE!

#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.

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

STEPHANIE TUBBS JONES IS GONE!

Remember her on CNN fighting ferociously for Hilary Rodham Clinton's nomination during the last Democratic party's presidential primaries that eventually produced Barack Obama as the party's nominee! An avid Hilary Clinton supporter is no more, like all mortals, gone forever! United States of America House of Representative member, Stephanie Tubbs Jones was everywhere on the grounds of Ohio State, her district 11, talk-shows, TV etc campaigning for Hilary Clinton! According to Stephanie, Hilary should be the preferred choice for the Democratic Party. Her stance was surprisingly strange to many African Americans since she is black and race-loyalty ordinarily would have suggested she supported Barack Obama.

Stephanie died Wednesday August 20th, 2008 of aneurysm induced brain hemorrhage at Huron Hospital in East Cleveland, a facility owned and operated by the world famous Cleveland Clinics. Stephanie suffered the hemorrhage while driving her car in Cleveland Heights on Tuesday night preceding her Wednesday's death. Stephanie was just 58 years old!

Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones was variously described as very feisty in anything she believes in; unwavering and indefatigable; poured her heart and soul into whatever she believes; outspoken and gregarious lawmaker and a fiery speaker who could inspire crowds at political rallies! Before running and winning her United States House of Representatives seat as Congress-woman representing 11th district, Ohio, Stephanie Tubbs Jones had served as a Cuyahoga County Common Pleas judge and prosecutor.

Icheoku asks, what is the essence of life? How can a life so full and vibrant be suddenly cut short? If only we understand this drama called life, then life as we know it could become more meaningful and livable! Until that time, please take a deep breath and adjust your attitude to your fellow human-beings as tomorrow may be unattainable. Do not wait until tomorrow whatever you can do today including some favors. Here was Congress-woman Stephanie Tubbs Jones, a United States of America House of Representatives member and a Democratic Party's super-delegate getting ready for their Denver convention next week! She was hale and hearty; was just cruising in her car in a summer evening and possibly miming a tune when suddenly an artery ruptured somewhere in her brain and the rest is now history. Please search your soul, dear visitor; tidy up your affairs, make peace with yourself today as no one knows the time or the hour of exit!

MISS USA 2019 JUMPS TO HER DEATH.

"May this day bring you rest and peace" she wrote, yet she did not have rest and peace herself. Too many people are very lonely these days of social media and they suffer in silence, hiding behind the fake online glitter and glamor. Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kyrst jumped to her death from a 29th floor balcony (20 floors above her 9th floor residence) which shows that she meant to end her life. What type of demonic affliction would make a 30 year old former beauty queen to take her own life. How bad were things for her really that she had to pull the plug on life in this gruesome manner; despite all the facade of glamor surrounding her. Was it love or health or social media related; or was she just mentally ill and nobody saw it early enough to render help. Did she leave a suicide note? It is sad. May her soul now rest.

ANN WINBLAD: WILL SHE RECLAIM HER PREEMINENT POSITION?

IT IS FUTILE TO KEEP HOPE ALIVE .

ICHEOKU says President Donald John Trump should forget ever getting back on Facebook and other social media platforms as the forces behind his banishment are as superior, if not the same forces that forced him out of the White House. They want to render him politically impotent and they will do whatever it takes to ensure that he remains in the cold doldrum of social media total and complete quarantine. He should therefore continue to explore other options to stay visible online as may provide themselves; but as for the big three major players, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, he is toast. Even in the impossible event he is ever allowed back, it will be with such pigeonholed restrictions that he might as well not be even present there. But the "You're fired" type of brash Trump punchlines that he is known for will never be allowed or seen again on these social media platforms.

MICHAEL COLLINS OF APOLLO 11 MISSION: DEAD AT 90. ADIEU.

ICHEOKU says former NASA astronaut and command model pilot of the United States of America 1969 Apollo 11 manned mission moon landing is dead. He was one of the trio mission, others being the late Neil Armstrong and still living Buzz Aldrin. Describing his experience during the lift off, he said: "The shockwave from the rocket power hits you. Your whole body is shaking. This gives you an entirely different concept of what power really means. You're suspended in the cockpit as you lift off. From then on it's a quieter, more rational, silent ride all the way to the Moon. We all felt the weight of the world on our shoulders and we knew that everyone would be looking at us, both friend or foe." Michael Collins was 90 years old and died from complications of cancer and other old age related infirmities. ICHEOKU says bon voyage Mikey as you return back to your maker and thank you for your service. Adieu.

RUDY GIULIANI HEADED TO PRISON?

ICHEOKU says what two Republican Attorney Generals, Jeff Sessions and William Barr will not do, Democratic Attorney General Merrick Garland is doing, and without even batting an eyelid. Were it the Democrats that were in power in 2016 and Hillary Clinton was a Republican and did what she did, she will be doing time in prison till today. But Republicans are always too cautious, afraid of being seeing as monsters, the reason they always ignore nearly every politically charged matter. Now, see what they have done to Rudy Giuliani, searching both his home and office for evidence of crimes; and more are possibly on the way, headed to other President Donald John Trump's exposed individuals. Democrats are better political tacticians and they play hardball bare knuckle politics and they do not give a damn. They get away with murders, politically speaking. Maxine Waters got away with openly calling for disruptive behavior but Trump was impeached for far less. But hey, blame the dumb tepid Republicans.

HOLLYWOOD SNUBS BOSEMAN AT THE OSCARS.

ICHEOKU says why is there no outrage for Oscars snub of Chadwick Boseman with their refusal to award him an Oscar posthumously. You would expect that at this time of great Wokeness in the country and Black Lives Matter sloganeering that it would have been one easy award to anticipate, expect and eventually land. But no, it is only on other people's business that the Hollywood despicable druggies insist that black people must be represented, but never hold themselves to the same level of racial accountability. It is sad as their hypocrisy is scandalously legendary.

MASVIDAL: SAVED BY THE REFEREE.

TIGER WOODS REFUSES TO MAN UP FOR HIS ACCIDENT.

ICHEOKU says where is his apology or rather contrition for his over speeding and recklessly in an unsafe manner with complete disregard to the safety of other road users which led to the accident. Does he not know that he is a role model to millions of people, especially his fans, who look up to him for behavioral guidance. Does he not know that by his action, he telegraphed to these people that it is ok to break laws and to drive excessively over the speed limit. Does he not know that he could have easily died in that accident. But he does not want to take any responsibility for causing the accident whatsoever. Anyway, best of luck with the recovery, TW.

HESTER FORD: OLDEST AMERICAN ALIVE FINALLY CROSSES OVER.

ICHEOKU says she was a definition of "go and multiply and populate the earth" as she did her part accordingly. 12 children, 68 grand children, 125 great grand children and 120 great great grand children sprang from her. What else could anyone have asked of her or her breeding ability. She was one of a kind as fertility clinicians got nothing on her. Hester Ford was five months short of turning 117 years old when she finally passed away at 116 years and 7 months old. She was the oldest person alive in America before she died. Hopefully her space on the other side has not been taken by another person as she surely took her time here before making her return journey. May her soul now rest. Adieu Madam Longevity.

PRESIDENT IDRISS DEBY OF CHAD IS DEAD: HE DIED IN BATTLE. ADIEU.

AMERICA'S UNENDING GUN CARNAGE: INDIANAPOLIS MAKES THE LIST.

ICHEOKU says the carnage that never ceases as FedEX Indianapolis becomes the latest place targeted by an American mass killer, killing 8 people before taking his own life. It is the fourth mass killing within a period of less than six weeks following Atlanta, Boulder, Orange and now Indianapolis with 30 American lives lost. Joe Biden must be wondering what is really going on that his hands is filling up so quickly with mass killings under his watch. But hey, it is the American tragedy and there seems to be no apparent solution to it. People are sad, angry, overworked and possibly on drugs and it triggers in them such constant snapping. May God comfort the bereaved and to their families, the fortitude to cope with their loss. it is sad.

DAUNTE WRIGHT: ADDED TO THE STATISTICS.

ICHEOKU says he is the latest black victim of white police shooting but Black Lives Matter and their ANTIFA collaborators have not began a nationwide destructive rioting as a result. May be because President Donald John Trump, the Orange Man, is no longer in the White House and the killing no longer qualifies as being induced by racism because their Joe Biden cannot be a racist as he is blackish. Anyway, Daunte Wright was shot and killed in Brooklyn Minnesota by white Police Officer Kimberly Potter, he was 20 years old. May his soul now rest.

OFFICER KIMBERLY POTTER: THE KILLER COP OF BROOKLYN MINNESOTA.

ICHEOKU says had thought she is a feminist only to learn that she herself is a mother of two grown sons and has been in the police force for 25 years. A feminist abortionist wouldn't understand what it means to lose a child, but she is not one. But her lengthy service in the police force definitely defeats her claim that she had mistaken her gun for a taser as her long experience in handling both weapons should have acquainted her of their obvious differences. She is not a rookie and should have known better how the butt of a gun feels and the gun is usually heavier than a taser. However, she must be feeling very sorrowful taking another woman's child and imagining if it was one of her own that was taken. Hopefully the authorities will do the right thing. Very tragic indeed.

PHILLIP ADAMS: THE LATEST MASS KILLER OF AMERICA.

MAZI NNAMDII KANU DENOUNCES NIGERIA.

The clueless Nigeria Police immediately knew who attacked Owerri Prison following the attack, but does not know who attacked Ebonyi community and slaughtered so many innocent villagers several weeks after the attack. Boko Haram took responsibility for shooting down a Nigerian military plane but the Nigeria state absolved the group and denied that it was them who shot down the plane. But unknown gunmen attacked Imo State and the same Nigeria state immediately accused IPOB of being responsible for the attack, despite that the group categorically denied being involved with it. ICHEOKU says how such idiocy makes sense to anyone is by itself very idiotic. Nigeria is a sick puppy and it is sad.

ANOTHER BLACK DOMESTIC TERRORIST?.

ICHEOKU says another black domestic terrorist has shot two Naval officers at Fort Derrick in Fredrick Maryland, the second time in just few days a black gunman has struck at America's heart string. Fantahun GIrma Woldesenbet is identified as the shooter who was later shot and killed by soldiers at a checking point. What has finally gotten to black men that they are now taking it out on Americans. Noah Green who killed a Capitol police officer is also black. Little wonder the media has not gone crazy with the coverage because both do not fit their prescription of American domestic terrorist, who are supposed to be white males. It is sad.

SNL STARK PARTISANSHIP SUCKS

MASS MURDER GETS A PASS BECAUSE HE IS NOT A WHITE MALE.

ICHEOKU says unfortunately for the media he was not a white male and his victims were not Asians, therefore they cannot parody their usual anti white male, racist mass murderer narative. But a Hispanic mass murderer Aminadab Gaxiola Gonzalez killed four persons including a 9 year old child being shielded by his mother in Orange California, yet the media is treating it as not that important to warrant their extended airtime. They have already concluded that it was not a random act of violence but a personal and business relationship gone wrong and you wonder why then kill the little child. But hey, he is not a white male and his victims are not Asians, therefore he got a free pass from being a racist mass murderer.

FREE AT LAST THE CARGO SHIP EVER GIVEN OWNED BY EVERGREEN.

ICHEOKU says the same engineering feat that made it possible for such a behemoth to sail without sinking was also brought to bear in order to free it from its stuck in the sand position at the Egyptian Suez Canal. That such an incredibly humongous mass of steel can navigate through choppy waters without sinking and laden with over 20,000 containers of goods is a science wonder come alive. What can the world do without engineers. It was nice that they successfully freed the ship without damaging it or having to first offload the 20,000 continuers it bore like a beast of burden. Kudos to the team that freed the cargo container ship named Ever Green.

UFC 260: A RETURN FAVOR.

AMERICA, WE HAVE A METHUSELAH IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

ICHEOKU says if he came to the United States Senate 120 years ago and he is just 78 years old that means that this is his second time around on this planet. Although his frailty and debilitated cognition somehow look the part, but no human being ever lived that long, talkless of still being around. But hey, his apologists and minders will, as always, explain it away as a Joe Biden suffering from stuttering moment. The world is certainly perplexed at the audacity of the Deep State which pushed President Donald John Trump out of the White House and in his place installed Joe Biden. It is a shame.

IS GAY DOLLAR BILL TO FOLLOW?

ICHEOKU says exactly what political correctness to the highest order really looks like as the United Kingdom now has a gay banknote, 50 pounds. Now, American LGBTQ community will soon make a demand on Joe Biden for their own American equivalent of the British gay banknote, a gay dollar bill. This is why China is steadily eating the lunch of the Western countries as they are busily engaged with political nonsensical while China is rapidly powering itself to the top of world as its only really super fortress.

TANZANIA PRODUCES ANOTHER FEMALE PRESIDENT IN AFRICA

ICHEOKU says commends Tanzania for quickly transiting and transferring power to former Vice President Samia-Suluhu-Hassan now sworn in as the new president of the country following the death of former President John Magufuli. It is a welcome development for Africa especially viewed against the backdrop of former Nigerian President Jonathan Goodluck who as Vice President initially encountered some problems in succeeding his former boss, the dead President Umaru Yar'Adua. President Samia-Suluhu-Hassan now becomes the second female African president following Liberia's former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. All the best Madam President. Congratulations.

YANK HER TITLE AWAY

ICHEOKU says the lying duchess and femme fatale of Prince Harry has finally put asunder what Lady Diana held together. She ruined a brotherly relationship between two British Princes and is now sabotaging the effort at reconciliation by leaking communications between the two brothers to Gayle King, her and Harry's new spokesperson. So much for Queen's admonition that the royal family resolve the existing issues privately. What a demonic evil woman, not good for membership of the royal family. It is sad.

WE ARE NOT A RACIST FAMILY - PRINCE WILLIAM

ICHEOKU says now that the future King of England Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has denounced racism and stated that the royal family is not racist, who then is the person who Megan Markle and Prince Harry complained questioned the skin color of their son, Archie? Recall that the restless couple ruled out the Queen and Prince Philip from list of possible suspects, thus leaving Prince Charles as the only man now left standing under the cloud of suspicion. Will Prince Charles ever speak to clear his name or is he the whodunnit culprit. The clock is ticking.

A WOMAN WRAPPER: NOT MAN ENOUGH?

ICHEOKU says the joke is on him for not being man enough to stand firm and fight his battles from within the inside. Instead he chose to elope with a woman, abandoning his family and royal duties in the process. Who was he expecting to apologize and to who and for what? Did he apologize to anyone when he vagrantly brought home such a woman and expected everyone to give him a standing ovation? Hopefully Meghan will not someday throw him to the curb of divorce and abandon him as well that he may understand the magnitude of his recklessness. It is sad.

FEEL FREE TO PRACTICE YOUR RELIGION: SISTANI.

ICHEOKU says Iraq's Shiites Muslims Spiritual leader Grand Ayatollah Imam Ali al Sistani has assured visiting Pope Francis that he will guarantee safety to Christians in Iraq to freely practice their faith and religion. This is definitely a great relief for Christians in Iraq and hopefully his followers will listen to him and respect his assurances. It is a shot in the arm for Christians in Iraq who are deathly afraid of both ISIS and other Islamic zealots who are bent on completely wiping out Christianity in Iraq. Way to go Sis!

IT WAS GOOD TO SEE MR PRESIDENT.

ICHEOKU says the tale of an American peoples elected president in Mar-la-Go Golden House Palm Beach Florida and the great pretender of the establishment installed by the Deep State in the White House. The good news is that everyone knows in the depth of their hearts what actually happened and that fear of very destructive BLM and ANTIFA's riots led to its condonation.

So the fella in the White House can put all the garbs of pretense and as many as he desires, but he too knows that he is not serving with the peoples mandate. It was good to see Mr President again and his speech was simply tonic as it gave the country reason to be hopeful. We shall overcome the Deep State's nightmare on Elms Street or rather 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Welcome back Mr President.

DEPUTY HEALTH SECRETARY DESIGNATE.

ICHEOKU says formerly a man and is currently interviewing to become America's deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services. The amount of violence being done to the moral rubrics of society by such unconventional lifestyle is huge. But hey, the horse has since left the ban and there is nothing anyone can actually do now to put the gene back in the bottle. ICHEOKU says has nothing against whatever anyone wants to be, but would rather certain things are kept in the closet where they rightfully belong. It is definitely a confused state of mind for anyone to be in, regardless. A day will some day come when society will also be forced to accept that there is something else other than day and night. The corrosion, once begun, never ends. It is sad.

IT WAS APOCALYPTIC.

IT'S OFFICIAL: THEY ARE NO MORE ROYALTIES.

ICHEOKU says they have made it official that they are not returning to their duties in the British Royal household. Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry have informed Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II that they are done and have forsaken the life of royalty for their newly chosen life of normal people. What will love not do to a man that a royal prince abandoned his life of royalty just to salsify the wish and desire of his commoner wife. Definitely a show of love by Harry and hopefully the Megxit will not someday turn into HarryDumped. Goodluck fellas.

CONGRATULATIONS NOI, THE NEW DIRECTOR GENERAL OF WTO.

ICHEOKU says congratulations Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iwealla on a well earned director generalship of the World Trade Organization. With her appointment, the Nigerian strong woman must now work tirelessly hard to show her sponsors world wide that their confidence was well placed and to a previously lukewarm America, that she has the wherewithal to reposition the WTO. The world is waiting and watching to see how she will particularly tackle China's unfair trade practices. Once again, congratulations DG.

CANCEL CULTURE CLAIMS OLYMPICS CHIEF'S JOB.

ICHEOKU says cancel cultured has claimed the office of 80 year old Japanese Olympics Chief Yoshiro Mori over his statement that "women speak too long in meetings". This fella definitely belongs in the tester years generation which called it as they saw it but forgot that cancel culture is alive and well and that feminist females are obsessively possessed in their effort to replace and displace men in many spheres. So, despite the truthfulness in what he said, as it is in women's character to generally endlessly talk and speak too long no matter what, he was still canceled for voicing it out. It is hard being a hard charging, matter of factly speaking, real man in this era of hyper wokeness which is afflicting the world. What is wrong with what he said as truth should have provided him a defense. But hey, feminism is real and their power immense.

SNL NO LONGER WORTH THE TIME.

ICHEOKU says Saturday Night Live by protecting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris from jokes is steadily losing its relevance and bleeding audience. Many people will surely tune off in due course as they have lost their edge from making Trump's jokes. It is yet another clear indicator of the bias of the media and their leftist shows. Imagine how high their rating would go were they to exploit the many jokes which Joe Biden and Kamala Harris provide daily as gifts which they keep on giving. It is sad.

LINCOLN PROJECT JOHN WEAVER: A CHILD MOLESTER?

PAOLO ROSSI: DEAD AT 64, ADIEU.

AMERICA IS SAFE WITH HIM: VOTE4TRUMP.

ICHEOKU says in him rests the hope of America and American people must realize this and vote like their country and lives depend on his presidency. There is no other choice in this election than the reelection of President Donald John Trump for a second term, He has proved his love for country and country men and women, he has proved he can stop the military industrial complex from needless wars and he has proved that Israeli and Arabs peace is doable. He is an economic whizkid and he is fighting the Chinese coronavirus frontally and succeeding. American people must stay the course as no smart people changes their leadership midstream. On November 3rd, vote to reelect President Donald John Trump for a second term. He has delivered on his promises and he will continue to deliver more for America and the American people. #Vote4Trump.

HER DEATH: SIMPLY TRAUMATIC FOR DEMOCRATS.

CHRIS CUOMO'S ACCESS HOLLYWOOD MOMENT - MICHAEL COHEN.

ICHEOKU says CNN weight lifting talking head had his own Access Hollywood moment and unfortunately the same sleaze ball who CNN has courted for sometime, Michael Cohen, was also involved. A lawyer who would break a client/attorney confidential relationship is capable of simply doing anything. Chris Cuomo just rudely found out that trusting the disgraced former personal lawyer to the president is a too risky a conduct. Now all his distaste for the media and #MeToo feminists are out there for the world to see the real Chris Cuomo, courtesy of Michael Cohen's secret recordings. Sad.

JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER RESIGNS.

ICHEOKU says for a people known for their stoicism and disciplined equanimity, he must have endured all he could muster before finally throwing in the towel. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has announced that he is stepping down from office to enable him take care of his deteriorating ulcerative colitis health problem. ICHEOKU wishes the author of Abenomics well and hopefully the next Prime Minister will continue towing the path which Shinzo led that made Japan a force for good in global politics. All the best Abe.

SHE HAPPILY STANDS BY HER MAN

MARYANNE TRUMP BARRY: STILL GOSSIPY AT 83, TOO BAD.

ICHEOKU says no wonder the president is deeply touched by the death of the only sibling who he truly trusted, his brother Robert Trump. Imagine his elder sister Maryanne Trump Barry, a retired Federal judge, still gossiping at such an old age of 83 years. Instead of being supremely grateful and happy that her younger brother accomplished so much, including winning the presidency of the United States of America and on a first try, she is busy talking at his back and castigating him. ICHEOKU says sibling rivalry and associated jealousy is real and this old woman diminished herself by engaging in such gutter sniping. But like the president aptly responded, WHO CARES!

BUILD THE WALL: STEVE BANNON INDICTED FOR FRAUD.

ICHEOKU says lets hope that that 'the entire fiasco is to stop people who want to build the wall' and that the former President Donald John Trump's adviser did not pilfer the privately raised funds meant for building the wall. But shouldn't those behind the effort to fund-raise for the wall be compensated for their time and effort? Except that they were captured on record saying that they will not be paid and that the entire 100% of the raised funds will be plowed into building the wall. Anyway, ICHEOKU wishes Steve B well and hopes he clears his name soon.

MALIAN PRESIDNET FORCED OUT IN A MILITARY COUP.

BEIRUT GOES KABOOM!

HERMAN CAIN: DEAD AT 74, VICTIM OF CORONAVIRUS.

THE DOCTOR HAS ORDERED: WEAR YOUR FACE MASK.

ICHEOKU says Dr Anthony Fauci says to wear a face mask and he shows his example. Only that he did not get anything right since the outbreak of the Chinese Wuhan coronavirus pandemic as everything he told Americans to do or not to do ended up resulting to the opposite. Whether he still qualifies as an expert following such many repeated wrong projections is somewhat debatable, otherwise why did he, as an expert, get everything wrong and completely off margin. If an expert can be so wrong, what then should a novitiate be. Sad.

MASK UP FOLKS.

ICHEOKU says if the president can do it, so can you. Please wear your mask for those your loved ones as well as others as you do not want to have a guilty conscience that your inaction led to deaths and sufferings. It is no longer a joke when the president masks up and so should you. Save a life today, wear your mask.

This is a PSA by ICHEOKU and he too masks up as well. Please help fight the Chinese Wuhan coronavirus disease, wear a face mask today and send a strong message to the Chinese Communist Party that they have killed enough Americans already with their poison and that you have refused to be their killer agent.

ENOUGH OF THE MADNESS: STOP THE KILLINGS.

ICHEOKU says it is time to end the senseless killings in America, including in Chicago's Southside. This 20 months old little boy is now one of the latest victim of the never ending depraved heart murders being committed by blacks on their fellow black people. Isn't black lives supposed to matter or is it only when taken by the police. It is shameful what black people do to each other, yet they pretend to love each other. Imagine the pain and agony the parents of this little child must be going through. Time to end the madness has come. Stop the senseless murders. May his innocent little soul now rest.

NASCAR'S BUBBA WALLACE AND HIS JUSSIE SMOLLETT'S MOMENT.

ICHEOKU says a false alarm which was raised to further heighten the uneasiness in an already tension-soaked nation. Luckily the truth came out that the supposed "noose" was a mere garage door opener which was put in place long before Bubba Wallace was assigned the use of that very Garage No 4 in Talladega Super-speedway Lincoln Alabama. It was also revealed that it was not just only his garage door that has similar opening contraption on its door. Another bullet dodged, but if black people think that they are getting more sympathy raising such false alarm, they are deluded, because such repeat falsehoods gravely damages their credibility and veracity for truthfulness. There was a Jessie Smollett in Chicago and now Bubba Wallace in Alabama. It is unfortunate and it is sad, as stoking of racial tension does not do anyone good.

UNDERTAKER RETIRES FROM WWE.

ICHEOKU says fans of World Wrestling Entertainment will surely miss their Undertaker who has retired from wrestling after 30 years of top sportsmanship. Mark Calaway, popularly known by his stage name Undertaker, is 55 years old and decided it was time to pack it up citing a "nothing left to accomplish" reason. ICHEOKU says used to be a fan of WWE until the Rock left the organization and nobody can smell what the Rock was cooking any longer because the Rock does not cook any more. Also UFC came out and reality always triumphs over playacting. Anyway, best wishes to Undertaker with his retirement.

ON NOVEMBER 3RD VOTE THE RIGHT WAY.

A WHITE WOMAN AND HER DOG, A RACIST BIMBO.

ICHEOKU says she is not alone, just a victim of a society which taught her racism. She perfected the game very well and would have gotten away with murder if not for providence that had the victim record what actually transpired. Yes, it is New York and even their police were caught giving white people face masks while smacking down black people for not wearing face masks. So, what difference does it make if she made a false 911 call to the same police about a black man. Amy Cooper is her name.

CHRIS CUOMO TURNS CNN INTO CUOMO NOISE NETWORK

ICHEOKU says CNN has now become a Cuomo Comedy Central Network for the Cuomo brothers, constantly featuring Chris Cuomo and Andrew Cuomo such that viewers are wondering when the two brothers acquired the Network. Why must Chris Cuomo be allowed to always invite his brother Andrew Cuomo on his show or is he the only television host to ever have a brother, to the extent that they are now doing comedy about themselves and their family on the Network. It is boring and CNN is debasing itself by continuing to accommodate such a private family time on their Network. Viewers do not tune in to watch the two Cuomo brothers making jokes about themselves and their family, period. Enough of the Cuomo.

DU WEI, CHINESE AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL DEAD AT 58.

ICHEOKU says was he a victim of what is yet to come in the ongoing face-off with China over the Wuhan coronavirus? But until a full autopsy definitively rules on the cause of his death, everything remains mere speculation, including death by natural causes; as the ambassador is relatively young at 58 years and does not seem to have any preexisting life terminating illnesses or diseases. Anyway, just another speculation as ICHEOKU has no viable source in support; just pure punditry. May his soul now rest. Adieu Du Wei.

OUT OF WEDLOCK BABY: BOJO SHOWING BAD EXAMPLE.

ICHEOKU says although congratulations is still in order for bringing a new life into the world, but what type of example is the British leader setting by having a baby outside wedlock. He should immediately take Carrie Symonds to the alter and make her an honest woman. If she is good for the sac and good as a baby incubator, she should be good to be bonded into wedlock. The prime minister should do it now and without any further ado nor delay. A son who should be named Corona to commemorate the period of time he came into the world, of a coronavirus which even threatened his father's life, should have a legitimate mom and pop and not living in lovers. BoJo, will you take Carrie Symonds as your wife?

KIM JONG UN: DEAD OR ALIVE?

ICHEOKU says he rocketed himself into recognition as President Donald John Trump was forced to meet with him severally, thus bringing him to world limelight. Now, the man who was once famously branded Little Rocket Man of Pyongyang may be no more, due to a heart procedure went awry. ICHEOKU says whatever it is, North Korea should release the valve and let the pressure off, announce his state of affairs and calm down a restive world. The coronavirus is already enough toll on the world's anxiety and there is no need increasing it further. #WhereisKimJongUn.

AN ENDORSEMENT BASED ON HATRED FOR THE PRESIDENT,

ICHEOKU says Bernie Sanders in endorsing Joe Biden did not highlight the qualities which make Joe Biden a better candidate than himself and why Joe Biden is the right candidate. He spewed a lot of hogwash about the president, including not knowing why the president has not acted on the Defense Production Act. ICHEOKU says but how would he know what the president has done so far when he is hunkered down inside his basement, shielding himself from the coronavirus while the president is working tirelessly hard to tame the contagion. Anyway, nobody will vote for Joe Biden because Bernie Sanders told them to, so with an endorsement like that, nobody needs any endorsement. Meanwhile, he did not consult Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez before the decision.

CAPTAIN CROZIER: GOT THE VIRUS.

ICHEOKU says wishes the former Theodore Roosevelt Aircraft Carrier captain, Captain Brett Crozier, a speedy recovery from the Coronavirus infection. ICHEOKU was initially incensed when he was relieved of his duty, thinking it was an attempt to muzzle him like the Chinese did with the whistleblower doctor; but later learned it was for his not following proper chain of command communication channel about the infection on board the carrier, which risked panic. ICHEOKU says is a full believer in complete military discipline and does not accommodate any disregard of rules, no matter how seemingly trifle. Anyway, get well Captain!

HARVEY WEINSTEIN: GOT THE BUG TOO.

ICHEOKU says is it karma that in addition to his 23 years prison sentence that Harvey Weinstein has now been infected with the Chinese Wuhan disease aka Coronavirus. How did he contract the deadly disease or is the private prison cell where he is being held in protective custody infected with the bug. ICHEOKU says never in the history of one man has such double calamity struck at once; and at his advanced age and custodial condition, chances of beating the disease is quite reduced. ICHEOKU wishes him well or should the president release him on compassionate grounds.

WHY THE CHINESE VIRUS?

ICHEOKU says it is for the same reason the ABC White House correspondent is called Ceceilia Vega and not "Woman Vega" or just that Woman. It is an identifier as there is something in a name. Even Americans have their respective identifiers such as black Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Latino Americans, Chinese Americans, Arab Americans, Irish Americans, Brazilian Americans, Russian Americans etc. Even the food we eat is similarly classified and identified, including Chinese food, Italian food, Mediterranean food, Ethiopian food, etc. Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is identified as a Somalian American. Therefore, there is nothing racist in correctly identifying the place of origin of the killer virus as China, hence the China virus or Chinese Wuhan disease aka Coronavirus.

JIM LEHRER OF PBS NEWS HOUR: DEAD AT 85 YEARS.

ELIZABETH WARREN: DID SHE MAKE UP THE STORY?

ICHEOKU says for a woman who has told so many lies in the past, including being an Indian, what is the assurance now that she told the truth about what Bernie Sanders allegedly told her that women cannot be elected president? Could she have made up the story as a desperate Holy Mary pass to see if she can stabilize her sinking campaign and prevent it from taking additional waters. ICHEOKU says does not know which of the parties is telling the truth, but who has more to gain by showing Bernie Sanders as a sexist who belittles women? But hey, dog eat dog, no problem.

CORY, TOO?

ICHEOKU says he destroyed whatever chances he ever had at a nation wide election when he bared his fangs and American people saw who he really is during the Justice Brett Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation hearing. He came across as angry, petulant and threatening; and American people made necessary deductions. Yes indeed, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris proved that they lacked the cunning fox quality of Barack Obama, who cleverly masked his disdain for white people until it was too late to right the ship. But hey, just another one falling off the Democratic Party's wagon to the White House. Adios amigo Cory.

CARLOS GHOSN: A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.

ICHEOKU says he must either voluntarily return to Japan to face justice or be bundled back. He cannot selectively choose when to love Japan and when to hate Japan. He lived in Japan and did business in Japan for a long time and had his way in Japan as well. He cannot suddenly now allege racist Japan as a ground to avoid justice. Possibly, he tried to bribe his way in the courts but regrettably found out that what works in Lebanon or Brazil or even in France does not work in Japan. So, now that his case has been internationalized, he should return to Japan as the world's attention will be with him as he go through the justice system. If any arbitrariness is observed, the world will in unison protest Japan on his behalf. Return to Japan Mr Carlos Ghosn and face justice.

ESMAIL GHA'ANI: THE NEW WALKING DEAD OF THE QUDS FORCE.

ICHEOKU says his demeanor is much different as he does not look as threatening as the man he now succeeded, as the new commander of the Iranian National Revolutionary Guards aka the Quds Force. He has no deadly mien of the killed Qassam Soleimani and probably does not have his thirst for blood too. As a finance guy, he probably will not be foolish to throw it all away. But whatever happens, Esmail Gha'ani should know that he has a giant bullseye painted on his back, just in case he decides to also sign his death warrant by needless provocations.

HUNTER BIDEN'S BABY MAMA.

EDDIE JOHNSON: CHICAGO POLICE CHIEF, AXED.

ICHEOKU says his claim to fame is the intractable murders in Chicago and you wonder why he lasted this long when he could not solve the crime and bring down the murder rate in Chicago. He also once caught the nation's attention when he took a strong position against the City's District Attorney dismissal of Juicy Smollett's case. But he went back to the cesspit of public opinion when he snubbed visiting President Donald John Trump, who came to Chicago to honor an invitation to a police conference.

Anyway, he has now been forced out of the police department due to conduct unbecoming of such a high public official. He was caught passed out behind wheels of his parked running vehicle, after a night of binge drinking with a female companion, who he is probably having an affair with. What a shameful way to end a long running career. Hopefully an effective replacement will now be appointed to tackle the endemic murders and crimes of Chicago. ICHEOKU says kudos to the Mayor Lightfoot for being decisive and without regard to racial sentiments; both of them are black. Arios Eddie.

HILLARY CLINTON IS ROTTEN - TULSI GABBARD.

"Hillary Clinton is the queen of warmongers, an embodiment of corruption and a personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long." - Tulsi Gabbard, United States House of Representatives member from Hawaii 2nd Congressional District and an aspiring presidential candidate of the Democratic Party.

ICHEOKU says the beauty and brain took it to the Madam of the Democratic Party, Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton; emphatically letting her know that she is not afraid of her, her minions and henchmen; and that unlike them, who she commands their servile obedience, Tulsi is not moved nor intimidated by her fellow woman.

HUNTER HAS BEEN LOCATED, HURRAY!

ICHEOKU says it is with great sense of joy that we announce that the "WHERE IS HUNTER" campaign succeeded in ferreting out the son of Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, from his undisclosed location. The son of Joe Biden made appearance on ABC and that satisfies ICHEOKU that he is not in a rehab or on the run; admitted those eyes are suggestive. However he did not succeed in removing the monkey of corruption hanging on his father's back as he is knowingly lying and misleading America people that he was in a 15 hours flight with his dad to China and did not intimate him of the purpose of his travel to China. Such little lie is rather very insulting to our intelligence. Sad.

EDDIE MONEY: GONE WITH CANCER, ADIEU.

ICHEOKU says may his soul now rest. Eddie Money was 70 years old and died of esophageal cancer.

Announcing the cancer in August, Eddie said "It hit me really, really hard. I don't want to keep the fact that I have cancer from everybody. It's not honest. I want to be honest with everybody. I want people to know that cancer has come a long way and not everyone dies from cancer, like they did in the '50s and '60s. Am I going to live a long time? Who knows. It's in God's hands. But you know what, I'll take every day I can get. Every day above ground is a good day."

Unfortunately, Eddie did not beat the cancer and died peacefully in his sleep. So long Mr "Two tickets to paradise" fame. Adieu,

T-BOONE PICKENS: DEAD AT 91 YEARS.

CNN'S ANDERSON COOPER: GROWS FACIAL HAIRS, HURRAY!

ICHEOKU says it sure looks good on him and have successfully transformed him from the hapless sissy, girlie-looking man into a real man. Hope the transformation will continue as it will help boost his AC360 rating too; as his looks and mannerism often turn off so many otherwise would be watchers, who cannot stand his feministic look, giggly smiles, silliness and gesticulations. Love it. More power to his chin and whatever fertilizing hair cream that wrought the magic should be applied doubly. Nice look.

RUTH GINSBURG: STILL FIGHTING TO PREVENT TRUMP.

ICHEOKU says she does not want President Donald John Trump to get the honor of appointing her replacement and is still hanging in there, tough. But why did she not retire when President Barack Obama was in office or was she also afraid that Obama might appoint a black woman as her replacement justice. ICHEOKU says whatever is driving her resistance, she must know that she is a human being and one day she will either willingly give it up or circumstances beyond her control will force the issue. Goodluck Ruth.

TRISTAN WIX: COMPLETELY TWISTED

"I wanna break a world record for longest confirmed kill ever. I don’t intend on walking away alive, unless I see it fit. A good 100 kills would be nice. I already have a location. I’m not crazy, I just wanna die and I wanna have fun doing it." - Tristan Wix, arrested would be mass shooter from Florida.

ICHEOKU says if this is not madness, nothing else so qualifies. Imagine aspiring to be the world's confirmed longest confirmed kill and you wonder why people are so perverted. A matter made worse because he feels killing people is fun. Totally sickening.

ERIC SWALWELL: DROPS OUT OF PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

TRUMP STEPS INTO North Korea: WATCHED BY AN ADMIRING KIM.

Democratic Party PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: ELIZABETH WARREN FAVORED.

ICHEOKU says the NBC moderators have their favorite candidate and it showed. They gave her more time to answer questions and they also directed more questions to her, giving her such a great opportunity to air her views to the American people. Definitely an advantage over her colleagues, which left ICHEOKU wondering if the fix is now in, to try another woman for the American presidency. Possibly their calculation is in the event Joe Biden is damaged beyond repairs, they can then push Elizabeth Warren on the American electorates and use her to achieve what they could not achieve with Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton. But we shall see how everything finally evolves. Overall, the debate produced nothing spectacularly memorable and no question was asked on Open Borders. Both sections of the two hour debate began with questions being asked to Elizabeth Warren, which gave her more eyeballs and ears as Americans tuned in to know the candidates. It is not fair to the other contestants.

BUTTIGIEG/HARRIS: THE ONLY TICKET THAT MAKES SENSE.

ICHEOKU says the Democratic Party has only one choice in their nomination, a ticket that will fully represent all their various voting blocs and tribal constituencies. Only the pair of Kamara Harris and Pete Buttigieg will adequately cover nearly this. Pete is a white male and gay; and Kamara is a feminist female, black and did not carry any baby to full term. So, with this two paired up as presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate,, the Democratic Party will have a movement which will make them competitive in the next election. Therefore, if they seriously want to have a competition in 2020, they should field the two candidates on a ticket and watch a good election campaign take place, admitted that nobody will unseat President Donald John Trump come 2020. Keep America Great, vote Trump. #KAG.

GLORIA VANDERBILT: DEAD AT 95.

JOE BIDEN: SIMPLY TOO OLD TO RUN.

ICHEOKU says if Joey looks this age-terrible now, imagine what will happen to him after four years in office, assuming he magically wins the presidency next year. Joe Biden is already looking like gargoyle and this BAAAAAAD, just running for the nomination of his Democratic Party as presidential candidate, then think of what President Donald John Trump will do to him on the debate stage and also add the toll which the general campaign would take on him. ICHEOKU says after nearly half of one century in Washington DC, Joe Biden's time has definitely since passed and Americans only move forward. Just #SAYNOTOJOEBIDEN.

DORIS DAY: DEAD AT 97 YEARS, ADIEU.

ICHEOKU says she was extraordinarily talented and gifted. Born Mary Ann Von Kappelhoff in Ohio in 1922 and four times married, with only one son who predeceased her in 2004. She featured in 39 films, had a show, The Doris Day Show on CBS for five years and of course sang so many songs, including Sentimental Journey and the song which probably will pass as her most famous song, the one that put her on the world map, Que Sera Sera, whatever will be will be. Doris Day was 97 years old and died from complications of pneumonia. ICHEOKU says rest in peace DD. Adieu.

SENATOR RICHARD LUGARD OF INDIANA: DEAD AT 87., ADIEU.

JOHN DURHAM: THE INVESTIGATOR OF THE INVESTIGATORS.

ICHEOKU says Attorney General William Barr has kept his promise to look into the genesis of the Russian Collusion investigators, with the aim of finding out how the whole shenanigan began. To this end therefore, he has named United States Attorney for Connecticut, John Durham, as lead prosecutor to unearth how the whole thing started. ICHEOKU says the guy looks tough and has a strong reputation, which should make any party at fault here jittery. ICHEOKU says all the best John and God's speed as American people are anxiously waiting to find out what actually happened.

TIGER WOODS: SYMBOL OF AMERICAN EXCELLENCE - TRUMP

"Tiger Woods is a global symbol of American excellence, devotion and drive. These qualities embody the American spirit of pushing boundaries, defying limits and always striving for greatness."

ICHEOKU says this was President Donald John Trump's words as he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to golf wonder kid now wonder man, Tiger Woods, for his many accomplishments on the golf course and his ability to come back from debilitating physical adversity that might have permanently sidelined any other athlete. ICHEOKU says congratulations to Tiger and our commendations to the president, a promise keeper, who once again kept a promise made.

SUDAN UNDER BASHIR OMAR: A HELLHOLE GULAG.

ICHEOKU says man is the greatest enemy of mankind. Pictured is another evidence of man’s inhumanity to a fellow man in full glare. A military officer, who raised his voice against the dictatorship of Sudanese former President Omar Bashir, punished with an underground imprisonment in a lightless dungeon beneath a mosque, where he turned into a dead man crawling during th ever 22 years he survived there. Even Nebuchadnezzar couldn't have been this badly treated and bone dry emaciated. Simply deplorable.

SIRI LANKA ISLAMIST TERRORIST ATTACK: 207 KILLED.

IRANIAN REPUBLICAN GUARD: NOW A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

ICHEOKU says just one miscalculation and Iran will pay dearly for all the provocations of the past many decades, starting from the 1979/80 Embassy hostage taking. When it happens, they will either be completely annihilated or have their nose so bloodied, that recovery will take them many decades, if ever. But hey, their Republican Guard is now a terrorist organization and like Al Queida, ISIS and Hamas before them, will henceforth be continuously served with some discomfiture as deserving of any designated terrorist organization..

JEFF BEZOS: THE $35 BILLION DIVORCE PAYOUT.

ICHEOKU says it is fair enough, especially to someone who was there right from the start of building the $150 billion Amazon business empire. The money should be enough to buy her a lot and actually whatever she likes, including another man, admitted it won't be another Jeff. ICHEOKU wishes MacKenzie Bezos all the best in her life without her Jeff; and to Jeff, hopefully what he found in the home breaker will last and not be a trifle mirage, induced by the heat of the moment. Life and its intricacies.

NIPSEY HUSSLE: SHOT DEAD.

ICHEOKU says he was a thug and lived a thug's life till death. Los Angeles based rapper and businessman, Nipsey Hussle, was shot and killed in front of his clothing store in Crenshaw Los Angeles on Sunday March 31st, 2019. He was 33 years old and belonged to a Street Gang, from which he wanted out, but forget the street code that you are in it for life and can only go out dead. Possibly he paid for his past bad acts or was gunned down to stop him from leaving the family. In one tribute by his friend Big Boy, he said, "to actually see a brother cut down in a place where he should be comfortable is extremely horrible." Rest In Peace Nipsey. Adieu.

JOE BIDEN: CAUGHT IN A 'ME-TOO' DRAGNET,

ICHEOKU says hopefully the boy from Scranton will do the needful and retire from public scene for good. His moment in the sun has since past and there is no need for him to linger on to see his image tarnished. The former Vice President should not linger a day longer and allow these crazed out, wild eyed, feminist anarchists to rubbish his hard won reputation. He should just retire from politics and get it over with; and do it right away. ICHEOKU says let's see if all those Democrats nut jobs, especially the one from Hawaii, who told American men to just shut up, will have any special advise for Joe Biden.

ADAM SCHIFF REFUSES TO WAKE UP FROM HIS NIGHTMARE

ICHEOKU says call it his Mid-Winter or early Spring Night Dream, but whatever it is, the Congressman from California and Chairman of the House Committee on Intelligence, Adam Schiff aka Mr Pencil Neck, has refused to accept the fact which is starring him on the face, that the president is innocent of the charge. He is continuing with his narrative that the president committed Collusion and that he will eventually find the evidence. ICHEOKU says what the FBI and the Special Counsel, with all the resources and professionalism available to them, could not find, it is a Congressman who thinks that he will? Anyway, goodluck Adams. Salute

PAUL MANAFORTH SENT AWAY TO PRISON

ICHEOKU says agrees with the sentencing judge that Paul Manaforth is not a victim, admitted his crimes were uncovered following an investigation into the trumped up Russian Collusion. He is guilty as sin; he did the crime and should also do the time. The only reason he is now saying that he is sorry is because he was caught and busted. Therefore, his sentence, he should serve completely and should not be shown any mercy by the President through a pardon. Poor black folks are regularly sent away for life under the Three Strikes Law for merely stealing a gallon of milk to feed their infant children; but here is a man who technically stole millions from the government in unpaid taxes and falsification of assets, getting away with a mere slap on the wrist. Thankfully though, his crimes preceded his serving the Trump Campaign as chairman for a few short four months. ICHEOKU also disagrees with President Donald John Trump that he is a good man because a "good" man does not cheat nor steal. Adios Paully.

TRUMP DECLARES NATIONAL EMERGENCY TO FUND THE WALL.

ICHEOKU says it is about time, having exhausted all available negotiations to let the Congress appropriate the funds for the project. Yes indeed, WALLS do work; only that employers who like the cheap labor as well as drug traffickers who make billions running drugs across the boarder are big influencers of Congress and lobby hard not to have a barrier to their business erected. Hopefully the court will see wisdom in solving the Southern border problem once and for all. Kudos to a man of great courage, who is the hardest working president America has ever had. Lets help President Donald John Trump FINISH THE WALL. MAGA.

NICOLAS MADURO: COMPLAINS.

ICHEOKU says former president of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro has accused America of choking Venezuela and asking Venezuelans why are they suffocating. He also claimed that everything is alright in Venezuela, except that the former president, who is clinging to empty power, has not stepped out from the confines of Villa Flores presidential palace to really see what he has subjected his countrymen and women to - beggarly scavengers of left over food. ICHEOKU says Maduro, please just leave now while you still can negotiate a favorable tern for a peaceful end or face an assured long term imprisonment for human rights violations. Salute

BRAVE FIREFIGHTERS: WE SALUTE YOU.

NATHAN SUTHERLAND: HACIENDA HEALTHCARE RAPIST, ARRESTED.

ICHEOKU says he is a nurse who turned into a night nurse and impregnated an incapacitated patient he was taking care of. The 29 year old victim who has been in a vegetative state since she was a 3 year old toddler gave birth four weeks ago and nobody knew that she was pregnant. Nurse Nathan Sutherland's DNA was used to match the baby's and that was how the crime was solved. What an undue taking advantage of a victim - sex without consent which is rape as well as other numerous violations of extant criminal laws.

NANCY PELOSI: WHO IS YOUR DADDY?

ICHEOKU says Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi now knows who is the real boss as her planned 7 days junket around the world of Switzerland, Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan has been stopped by President Donald John Trump, irked by Nancy's impetuosity.

She will not authorize $5 billion for the Southern border Wall; she will not negotiate a solution to the immigration crisis; she will not agree to end the government shutdown and she denied the president his scheduled January 29th, 2019 State of the Union address venue.

ICHEOKU says she started the fight and the president is only finishing it for her; now lets see how everything finally gets resolved. Nancy Pelosi is being held hostage by the farthest left wing of the Democratic Party led by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and she is deathly afraid of the crazed out New York freshie. Too bad.

OPC FOUNDER FASEHUN: DEAD AT 83, ADIEU.

ICHEOKU says he was a medical doctor who got tired of the injustice in Nigeria, particularly as it affected his Yoruba Southwest, and decided to do something about it. Alongside the current Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland Ganiyu Adams, they formed the Oduduwa Peoples Congress, an armed militia to battle the Nigeria government and/or defend their Yoruba people from the government's gangsterism.

He did his part and now he is gone to be with his ancestors. ICHEOKU appreciates him for having the courage to at least try, and for this, his legend lives on and he lives on in the memories of those who loved him, whose interest he sought to protect and protected at a great personal risk to his life. Dr Fredrick Fasehun was 83 years old and died of old age related infirmities. May his fighting soul now rest. Adieu Doc.

JEFF SESSIONS: FIRED!

JAIR BOLSONARO: BRAZIL GETS THEIR OWN TRUMP

ICHEOKU says newly elected president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro has said that he will bring back law and order in Brazil and that he is a big fan of President Donald John Trump and will be exactly like him. ICHEOKU says with Germany's Merkel now on her way out, with Philippines Rodrigo Dutante, China, Russia, Italy, Mexico and now Brazil, the countries of the world are definitely looking for common sense patriots to lead them during this time of great anxiety and uneasiness in the world. ICHEOKU says congratulations to the Samba nation's newly elected president.

CESAR SAYOC: THE MAIL BOMBER ARRESTED.

ICHEOKU says he was arrested in Florida and now charged for sending mail bomb packages to over 13 people. He is 56 years and an avid supporter of President Donald John Trump. ICHEOKU says hopefully the book will be thrown at him for being such an unthinking fool to bring up such a crazy crap, especially now and so close to the mid term election. Possibly, tired of hopelessly living on the street, he made the decision to take up residence in prison like so many other Americans who are down and out on their luck. What a pitiful knucklehead. Salute

PAUL ALLEN: DEAD AT 65 YEARS, ADIEU.

ICHEOKU says not his $20 billion net worth could purchase him a millisecond of life nor could it hold off death, begging the question, are all these effort worth it afterall. He couldn't escape death in his private jets, nor could his super yacht shield him from death. Microsoft co-founder, owner of Seattle Sea Hawks, Portland Trailblazers and Seattle Sounders, Paul Allen, loved sports and invested in it heavily; but succumbed to cancer, a Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Paul Allen was 65 years old. May his soul now rest. Adieu Mr Allen.

CONOR MCGREGOR DEFEATED IN UFC 229

CHEOKU says Irish effant terrible Conor McGregor was forced to tap out in the fourth around, in his fight against Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. ICHEOKLU says another back to back defeat for the Irish, following his loss to Floyd Mayweather and you wonder if it is not about time he hung up the gloves. ICHEOKU congratulates the Russian tamer, for forcing McGregor to eat his vomit; all the trash talking and the dolly throwing at bus carrying Khabib in Brooklyn New York last year considered. There is nothing as satisfying as forcing your traducer eat the humble pie.

RONALDO: NOW A TARGET OF THE ME-TOO NUTJOBS.

ICHEOKU says the season of sleaze is here upon us and men seem not to be winning the war; simply because they are too circumspect and do not want to engage in sullenness. But those crazed out, wild eyed, dogs in heat, keep on coming. ICHEOKU says time to push back and fight back, came since yesterday, only that these men are playing it cool and will regret it. Time to man up is NOW? Eough of the ongoing nonsense. Kathryn Mayorga is the latest nutjob, now accusing Cristiano Ronaldo of "raping" her in his hotel room. ICHEOKU says time to rein in this madness has come; enough of the blackmail.

DIANNE FEINSTEIN: THE LEAKY DIANNE.

JEFF FAGER FIRED: ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE ME-TOO NUTS.

ICHEOKU says he was on the job for 35 long years, but some horny lasses have now forced his abrupt exit. He produced the one hour CBS Sunday show, 60MINUTES, about the longest running news show on television, but not anymore.

Jeff Fager was fired for what CBS called acts not acceptable to the company aka unwanted sexual contacts with some female employees. ICHEOKU says this makes him the third CBS honcho to be let go from CBS within the last ten months, the other two being Charlie Rose that was fired last November 2017 and Les Moonves, who was fired few days ago. CBS is turning out to be a cesspool of sexual perverts. What a shame.

FEAR: BOB WOODWARD JOINS THE FICTION WRITERS.

ICHEOKU says here comes yet another book from the depth of their crazy fantastical imaginations; people pretending to be a fly on the wall inside the Trump's White House. But as with the other past discredited books, this one will also burn out as a creepy imaginary tales by the moonlight. Pure Fiction. First was Michael Wolffe's Fire and Fury inside the Trump's White House; then followed by Omarosa's Unhinged and now this Bob Woodward's Fear Trump in the White House. All completely made up stories about a man who they have been unable to decode and are still perplexed about. ICHEOKU says, channeling Jimmy Cliff, it can only be one summation - the harder they come, the harder they fall; as President Donald John Trump will be in office until 2023, regardless. Salute

AUSTRALIA HAS A NEW PRIME MINISTER: SCOTT MORRISON, HURRAY!

ICHEOKU says the ever shifting chair that is the Down Under politics, has produced another Prime Minister, the fifth in less than ten years and you wonder what is going on with Australian politics. Even Japan that once occupied that singular honor of going through so many Prime Ministers within a few short period, now seems much more stabilized than the Aussies. Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has been forced out and in comes Scott Morrison. ICHEOKU says congratulations Scott and hopefully, his tenure shall be long and fruitful.

PAUL MANAFORT, CONVICTED.

ICHEOKU says for a 2005 case that has no correlation nor bearing to the Russian Collusion investigation; yet the case was dredged up as a sword of Damocles to make him sing or compose against the president. But like a man, he faced his traducers shoulder squared to the end, ICHEOKU says the mafia are wise men for a reason because they believe in the law of omertà and also has a motto that two can only keep a secret when one is dead. Paul Manafort was taken down by a long time friend, who he mentored and yes, Rick Gates was used by the prosecutor to drive the final nail in Paul Manafort's coffin. His testimony literary sealed Paul Manafort's fate, admitted a mountain of evidence did him in as well. So sad that trusting people these days is at your own risk and you wonder what has become of the time honored integrity and honor and candor. But hey, he lived it up and so, might as well pay it really up with a lengthy prison sentence. Why rich people do not like to pay their taxes is beyond so many people's understanding.

PETER STRZOK FIRED !

ICHEOKU says he should have resigned following the House Judiciary Committee appearance, wherein he admitted to making some "mistakes" with his conduct and text messages following President Donald John Trump's election. Although his claim that there is “no evidence of bias in my professional actions”, is neither there nor there, what is imperative is the appearance of bias. It is a trite law that justice must not only be done but must be seen to be manifestly done and this includes prosecutorial conduct. The question is could an unbiased third party watching from the outside believe that what Peter Strzok did was free of bias? If the answer is no, then bias is to be inferred and this automatically should have precluded him from going forth. But no, he had an agenda to "stop Trump" and this blindly propelled him on, leading to his disgraceful forced removal. Therefore, his dismissal from the FBI is in order. So long Pete.

JONATHAN WEHRIE: A CATHOLIC PRIEST WHO EMBEZZLED PARISH FUNDS

LONDON BREED: FIRST BLACK FEMALE MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO

ICHEOKU says congratulation London, elected the first black female Mayor of San Francisco California. Like Senator Dianne Feinstein who was president of the Board of Supervisors when Moscone was killed and assumed acting Mayor before winning her own mayoral race; London Breed was president of Board of Supervisors when Mayor Ed Lee died and assumed acting Mayor before she was ousted and then ran for the office and now won. ICHEOKU says congratulations and hopefully she can fix so many of the militating problems bedeviling the city. Congratulations LB.

DUKE AND DUCHESS OF SUSSEX: OFF TO THEIR RECEPTION PARTY

ICHEOKU says spectacularly fabulous, the duo on their way to their wedding reception party. Just wondering whether the conservative British Royal Family will tolerate another fashionista in the Household after Lady Diana experience, especially one that will take the shine and spotlight out of Queen Elizabeth. Also, bare shoulders might be considered a no, no, as well for their princess. But hey, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex look smashingly hot. Nice. ICHEOKU says congratulations to the newest couple,

IRAN AFFIXED WITH NOTICE: DO NOT DARE.

MIKE POMPEO AND SWAGGER DIPLOMACY

"It is my mission to the United States diplomatic corp in getting back our swagger and carrying out President Trump's foreign policy objectives. The United States diplomatic corps needs to be in every corner, every stretch of the world, executing missions on behalf of this country and it is my humble, noble undertaking to help you achieve that." - Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State, introducing his swagger diplomacy at the State Department. ICHEOKU wishes the new SofS all the best. Congratulations.

RUSSIA REACTS: STILL MERE HOT AIR.

"The worst apprehensions have come true. Our warnings have been left unheard. A pre-designed scenario is being implemented. Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences. All responsibility for them rests with Washington, London and Paris. Insulting the President of Russia is unacceptable and inadmissible. The U.S. – the possessor of the biggest arsenal of chemical weapons – has no moral right to blame other countries." - Antoly Antonov, Russian Ambassador to the United States of America.

ZUCKERBERG SITS DOWN WITH CONGRESS

ICHEOKU says dressed up in suit and tie, the guy who gave the world Facebook, was put on the spot as he answered questions from Congress about privacy concerns following data breach, illegally mined from Facebook by Cambridge Analytica. ICHEOKU wished that they had asked Zucker why Facebook is regulating Freedom of Speech and forcing everyone into a near group thinking by censoring speeches which Facebook consider too strong for snowflakes. ICHEOKU maintains that Facebook must rise above being the policeman of speeches and allow people with different views and philosophies to equally express them on Facebook. Instead of blocking people for their viewpoints, there should be a "WARNING" which says the viewpoint expressed might contain harsh materials for Snowflakes because it contains conservative views, viewers discretion is advised; or as with homosexuals, that it contains same sex materials or as with religious viewpoints that it talked about Jesus, so viewers discretion advised.. ICHEOKU says this will be a more sensible censor rather than a bunch of jellies who has never experienced life outside Silicon Valley deciding what speech to be allowed and what speech to be censored. But overall, Mark held his own and should try and put on suits more often. It made him more respectable rather than the "boy" which so many people see when they look at him in his t-shirt and denim. But short of the ongoing attempt at regulating speech, Facebook should be allowed to continue to operate without much regulation as Facebookers love their portal.

NASSIM AGHDAM: THE YOUTUBE SHOOTER.

"There is no free speech in the real world and you will be supressed for telling the truth that is not supported by the system. Be aware! Dictatorship exists in all countries but with different tactics! They only care for personal and short-term gains and will do anything to reach their goals, even by fooling simple-minded people, hiding the truth, manipulating science and everything, putting public mental and physical health at risk, abusing non-human animals, polluting the environment, destroying family values, promoting materialism and sexual degeneration in the name of freedom and turning people into programmed robots!" - Nasim Aghdam.

VA SECRETARY SHULKINS, FIRED !

ICHEOKU says for a president who has zero tolerance for milking the public treasury, it was only a matter of time before a secretary accused of taking his wife on an European vacation on the public dim got whacked. And yes, former Veterans Affairs Secretary Dr David Shulkin has been let go by President Donald John Trump for the alleged wrong doing. As everyone knows, accountability and transparency are important values under President Trump and he suffers no one lightly who breaches this canon. So long Dave.

STORMY DANIELS'S LAWYER: MICHAEL AVENATTI MAY BE IN LEGAL TROUBLE

ICHEOKU says would ordinarily have conceded to this guy the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he is doing; but is afraid that he might end up faced with an action for malpractice and negligence incompetent legal assistance to his client. There was a valid subsisting contract between his client and Trump, which he encouraged his client to breach and for which she could be held liable for damages. The argument that the contract was defective for not being personally signed by Trump has no legal legs with which to stand because whatever ills that hitherto afflicted it or would have bedeviled it was cured when Stormy Daniels accepted a benefit for forbearance therefrom. So having accepted a sufficient consideration of $130,000 which was furnished to bind her to the contract, she cannot be allowed to now turn around to argue an invalid contract. Her accepting the consideration cured every defect in the contract and she is bound by it. This is a red letter law and how she and her lawyer plan to get around it is beyond ICHEOKU. So, the stripping whore who takes off her panties on a first date might turn around and sue her lawyer for wrongful advise and incompetent representation if found liable for breach of her contract of Non Disclosure Agreement. But hey, the whole world is waiting to see how the matter is finally fully resolved. Also Stormy Daniels has already breached the contract by going public with the encounter, so her suit to void the contract is already mute and should be dismissed with cost for bringing a frivolous lawsuit and wasting the time of the court.

HOPE HICKS FIRED

ICHEOKU says she told on her boss President Donald John Trump about telling some "white lies" to cover for the president. ICHEOKU says why and why say that now with all the Russian Collusion nonsense and the Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation. She forced the president's hands and she has to be let go and shoved out of her White House job as Communication Director. Regrettably her later qualifier that the "white lies" has nothing to do with the Russian Collusion and Mueller investigation is rather irrelevant because the doubt has already been sowed and created, especially in the minds of the president's traducers. What a career somersault and tumbling by reason of self immolation.

ADMA SCHIFF'S DEMOCRATIC MEMO RELEASED.

ICHEOKU says there was nothing new it disclosed or any there, there. It only made a generalized rebuttal that the application for the FISA court was not based on Steele's dossier, but admitted it made "narrow" use of information therefrom." It also denied that the FBI paid Steele for the dossier. However, it did not deny nor made any rebuttal about the accusations of the Republican memo that the FBI and DOJ tried to frustrate the Trump campaign and presidency. Anyway, American people have since seen what exactly took place during the last election.

JENNIFER ANISTON: UNLUCKY IN LOVE?

ICHEOKU says at 49 and loveless, childless and now husbandless, her window of finding true love is actually fast closing. What the problem is, only Jennifer knows; but she sure do look like an intimidating personality. She possibly finds it extremely difficult to step down from her high perch and play a wifely role, being somewhat under a man. Such attitude possibly is in the way of her finding a serious man to be with. She wants a serious man but will not do what it takes by stepping down a notch to accommodate a man's ego. Only a sissy man will accept such role and she will not accept any sissy man. Another example of a successful woman who has not made up her mind on exactly what she want as she wants it all. Anyway, best of wishes Ms. Aniston.

JESUS SPEAKS TO MIKE PENCE - OMAROSA

ICHEOKU says the woman who Tyler Perry probably wrote "The Diary of the Mad Black Woman" about, Omarosa Manigault-Newman, has once again showed why she is so uncouth and unrefined; and why anyone dealing with her does so at their own risk. She also proved beyond all shadows of doubt that she was indeed, actually FIRED from her White House gig for being just a gossipy blubber and contributed nothing useful to the White House. In her Celebrity Big Brother show, she has been running her mouth like a broken faucet about her experience in the White House during her stint there; making wild claims and allegations. Her latest bomb was that Vice Pence Mike Pence believes that Jesus talks to him, claiming that Mike Pence would be worse than President Trump if he ever becomes president and that America will be so confounded by his policies and actions, that they would wish and pray for Trump to come back. Anyway, any woman who can say and do anything just for fame and fortune, might as well be a hooker turning tricks for crying out loud. She does not hold any appeal for ICHEOKU and she should not for any discerning real man who has values and taste in women, especially well nurtured ladies. What a public enemy number one and an American reject numero uno she has become. SAD.

ANDREW MCCABE FORCED OUT

ICHEOKU says deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Andrew Mccabe has been removed and forced to resign the office. ICHEOKU says what took him this long in the face of all the apparent conflict of interest, whether or not they were true. The imperative here is the appearance of it, a matter made worse by tweets and other messages which somewhat implicated him in the play up attempt to stop President Donald John Trump from winning the last election and to sabotage him should he win. Yes, he should have quietly resigned when the former FBI director James Come was fired. But better late than never as the damage is already done and trust in him is suspect at best. So long Andy.

GYMNASTICS DOCTOR SENTENCED TO 175 YEARS IN PRISON

ICHEOKU says his name is Dr Larry Nasser, for molesting more than 150 Olympics gymnastics. According to the judge, “I just signed your death warrant. It is my honor and privilege to sentence you. You do not deserve to walk about outside a prison ever again. You have done nothing to control those urges and anywhere you walk, destruction will occur to the most vulnerable.” ICHEOKU says another example of how not to lose it all, everything one ever worked for. To his victims, our solidarity. Sad.

BITCOIN GAMBLERS AND PROSPECTORS: TIME TO OFFLOAD YOUR STOCK IS NOW.

ICHEOKU says the bubble is about to bust as information reaching ICHEOKU has it authoritatively, that plus minus 18 months hence,at best and it will be kaput for the wonder coin. So, if you have invested heavily in that crypto currency, this time might be a good time to shed some of your loads to avoid an assured hypertension triggering collpase which might be headed your way. South Korea has just banned prospecting on the currency. But hey, like those who were sucker punched by the MMM, please do not allow yourself to be caught flat-footed this time. Remember that a scheduled war does not kill a disabled person.

STEVE BANNON FIRED AGAIN.

ICHEOKU says this time from the mother of all his gigs, the Breibart News Network; and he will no longer remain as the chairman of the company. ICHEOKU says those the God wants to kill, he first make them mad; and so did Steve go mad the day he stabbed leader of Team MAGA, President Donald John Trump, at his back. Now his world is come crashing down around him and with no one friend to run to, might eventually run mad. The Sloppy Steve Bannon, the Et Tu Brute of the Trump presidency, deserves all that he now gets as a political pariah in chief. So SAD. Salute

AL FRANKEN FORCED OUT, RESIGNS.

ICHEOKU says in his no apology statement, the perv Senator from the Great State of Minnesota said he will resign his Senate seat, effective end of year 2017. ICHEOKU says the "ME-TOO" Nasty Women Gone Crazy crusade against men has surely gone into overdrive. In their hatchet job against men, all that is required is a "she said" and puff, a career goes up in smoke. Soon to be former Senator Al Franken is their latest victim as his political career just ended abruptly and in the same manner it started when he defeated a Republican incumbent Norm Coleman in 2008 on a first try with a razor thin majority of 312 votes out of about three million total votes cast. HIs political career just ended. Whom the bell tolls next is but anyone wildest guest. But are these women gone amok or what? So long Al.

EGYPT MOURNS AS 235 ARE KILLED BY TERRORISTS.

R. KELLY: A BLACK PLAYBOY?

ICHEOKU says another example of Racism 101 in America as what Hugh Hefner did and was glorified as a Playboy, R. Kelly is towing the same exact path but he is being branded a creep who is involved in sexual occultism. ICHEOKU says white America is so full of it with their double standards. They and only them are always above board while others including those imitating them are pervs; otherwise how does anyone explain the two conducts and harems kept by the two men any differently? ICHEOKU says like Hugh Hefner like R Kelly, case closed.

BOWE BERGDAHL PLEADS GUILTY.

ICHEOKU says army deserter who was captive of the Taliban for five years and who was traded in for five Taliban bad actors; who was once described by then candidate Donald John Trump as a "dirty, rotten traitor" who deserved to be executed by firing squad or thrown off an airplane without a parachute, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, has pleaded guilty to desertion and misbehavior-before-the-enemy. He could be spending the rest of his natural life in prison, a fact that will be known on October 23 when he is sentenced. ICHEOKU says his conduct deserves no mercy, in lieu of those who died and were severely wounded during search operations to rescue him.

KIRSTJEN NIELSEN: NEW HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY NOMINEE.

ICHEOKU says once again President Donald John Trump has demonstrated the doer and not the talker in him, regarding his love for women. The president believes in equal opportunity for all and has been empowering women, one woman at a time. Now he has nominated Kirstjen Nielsen as the new Secretary of Homeland Security department. ICHEOKU says congratulations to Kirstjen Nielsen on her well deserved appointment being eminently qualified for the position; and also to President Donald John Trump for making the appointment. Kirstjen Nielsen will be the second woman to hold the position since it was established following 9/11, coming after the trail blazing Janet Napolitano, Best of luck Kirstjen.

HARVEY WEINSTEIN: FIRED!

ICHEOKU says the company which he founded with his brother Weinstein LLC has parted ways with the sexual pervert; hoping to stem the bleeding caused by his many decades of sexual escapades and perversion against so many Hollywood women. ICHEOKU says hopefully his victims will go after the company for covering up for him, in the many years of using his power and influence to have his way among so many unwilling women who saw yielding to his desires as the only pathway to getting a foothold into Hollywood, which he partly controlled. ICHEOKU says definitely a good first step.

ANTHONY WEINER SENT TO PRISON.

PRESIDENT BUHARI ADDRESSES THE United Nations

ICHEOKU says President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria addressed the United Nations 72nd General Assembly. He called for a delegation of the United Nations Security Council to be sent to North Korea to help dissuade the country from its Nuclear weaponry pursuit. According to the Nigerian president, "The most pressing threat to international peace and security today is the accelerated nuclear weapons development program by North Korea. Since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, we have never come so close to the threat of nuclear war as we have now. All necessary pressure and diplomatic efforts must be brought to bear on North Korea to accept peaceful resolution of the crisis. As Hiroshima and Nagasaki painfully remind us, if we fail, the catastrophic and devastating human loss and environmental degradation cannot be imagined. Mr President, Nigeria proposes a strong UN delegation to urgently engage the North Korean Leader. The delegation, led by the Security Council, should include members from all the regions." ICHEOKU agrees that the president made common sense in the issue of a delegation to Pyongyang.

HPPE HICKS: NEW White House COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR.

GORKA FIRED!

ICHEOKU says the ongoing head roll in the White House continues as Deputy Assistant to the president Dr Sebastine Gorka becomes the latest victim. He was fired today August 25th, 2017 by the new Chief of Staff General Kerry who is trying to streamline the operations of the White House. Gorka was a lieutenant of the also previously fired former chief strategist Steve Bannon, now practically ridding the White House of that band of brothers from the right. Hopefully the White House can become more functional and less divisive now; geared towards prosecuting the Make America Great Again agenda. So long Gorka.

REINCE PRIEBUS FIRED!

ICHEOKU says the no nonsense, result orientated and driven 45th President of the United States of America, Donald John Trump, has let go his Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus. A man who believes in getting results seems to have had it with the lack of any legislative accomplishments in the last six months and had to rejig his White House staff. Reince Priebus was immediately replaced with General John F. Kelly, former Secretary of Homeland Security. ICHEOKU wishes Reince well and says hello welcome the people's general and hopefully he will bring order and efficiency to a White House that seems to have so many directors, none of which wants to submit to any other authority except the president. The millions of irredeemable deplorables of which ICHEOKU is a proud member watches with great expectation.

JUSTIN BIEBER FINDS JESUS, ABANDONS THE WORLD.

ICHEOKU says like they say, he has been captured by the Holy Ghost and as Christ latest ambassador, he will save a lot of lives for Jesus. The Canadian born superstar, as a result, has cancelled all his scheduled tours and said he will devote his time working hard towards getting good grades in God's book of judgment. ICHEOKU says with the so many suicides among entertainers and musicians, overachievers, who seemed to have become lonely and bored after reaching their peak, taking shelter under Jesus is a welcome life saving decision. ICHEOKU wishes Mr Bieber all the best in his epiphany to find meaning in life.

MCCAIN RETURNED FOR A CRUCIAL VOTE

A BETTER DEAL: A NEW MESSAGE BY DEMOCRATS.

ICHEOKU says it is not about sloganeering, but performance. So as the party of sore losers are out again dangling a carrot to the American people, lets hope they will provide same. Yes, they spent a better half of the year running a narrative which they know is false, claiming a Russian collusion. Now their lie have fallen flat and up to another gimmickry they go. Yes, they want to push another reset button, but this time not with Russia. It is with their own conscience. ICHEOKU wishes them well and says THE RUSSIANS DID IT nonsense was indeed very corrosive to their brand; which they pushed too far and for too long without any effect.

BRAZILIAN LULA SENT TO PRISON FOR CORRUPTION

UBER CEO TRAVIS KALANICK FORCED OUT.

ICHEOKU says good riddance as he was about taking down the company he took up to a global disruptor and forced so many other ride providing services out of business including many Taxi drivers and companies. Travis Kalanick made so many overtures to remain but the shareholders rebuffed him and demanded that he resign immediately and today, he is no longer the chief executive officer of the ride sharing company. ICHEOKU hopes Uber will find a more acceptable way to do business that is not its current plantation mentality based attitude.

UPS FACILITY SHOOTING LEAVES FOUR DEAD

ICHEOKU says it used to be the Post Offices culminating in the word going postal; but today the United Parcel Service is reeling under a disgruntled and aggrieved worker's turning the gun on his fellow employees, killing three of them before turning the gun on himself, bringing the total number of dead UPS workers to four. Yes, work place violence is a common happenstance in America, resulting from over stressed and overworked workers. Jimmy Lam was the suicidal gunman at San Francisco UPS facility. May the souls of the dead now rest.

PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD, BOOTED.

"I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris." With those words the peoples' President of America, Donald John Trump, in keeping with his campaign promise, just pulled America out of the Paris Climate Accord. ICHEOKU says if only the rest of the world can take care of their environmental issues including clean air, clean water, less polluted navigable waters and bring it to par with America's, may be the environmental concerns would be solved without a need for an accord which is skewed heavily against America. ICHEOKU says the world is being smart by half in trying to play catch up to America by surreptitiously delaying America's progress with some accord while the rest of the world tries to catch up with it; otherwise why is China and India not similarly bound. ICHEOKU says congratulations to PDJT for manning up and courageously following through with his promise to always protect America's interest. Salute.

TIGER WODS BUSTED FOR DUI

ICHEOKU says the fact that he refused a sobriety test says it all. It tells a lot about the lucidity state of the former legendary golfer who was busted in Florida for driving under the influence. ICHEOKU therefore is not buying into the after the fact prepared statement that alcohol was not involved; that it was only mixed medications. Query: if it was not alcohol induced impairment, why did he refuse an on the spot sobriety test including a requested breathalyzer, leading to his being held over for close to five hours at the station. ICHEOKU hopes that he gets all the help he needs and find some other more acceptable ways of dealing with whatever it is that he is going through. The fact that he has not fully recovered, emotionally and psychologically, ever since his divorce from his former wife, Elin Nordegren, resulting in his plummet from his formerly Olympian heights in golf, is self evident. The world is waiting and watching to see if this is the end for the former golf great or it is just another bump on the road for a man who has been going down hill for sometime now.

ROBERT MUELLER: SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR TRUMP RUSSIAN CONNECTION

ICHEOKU says hopefully the nearing schizophrenic far left liberals will accept whatever conclusions and findings reached by this particular counsel whose reputation is uncompromising candor. He who has nothing to hide fears no accusation and President Donald John Trump has no problem with the appointment. and neither does ICHEOKU. Therefore, ICHEOKU says nothing but a speedy investigation is expected, provided it is thorough and fair so that the president can continue governing and making America great again without all these needless distractions. However, another special counsel should be appointed to review Hillary Clinton's emailgate in the interest of fairness.

PDJT BOYCOTS CORRESPONDENTS DINNER.

HILLARY CLINTON, RUEFUL?

Icheoku says she must not be a happy camper, watching from the sidelines instead of being the center of attention, sworn in as the first female president of America. Hillary Clinton must be wondering if only she had leveled with the American people; came clean with them and never had to delete and bleach wash 33,000 emails and tried to cover it up. Icheoku says she can blame the Russians all she wants, but she needs to look into the mirror to see a victim of self-destruct who inflicted on herself a mortal political injury. Good enough she soldiered to the inauguration but she will never recover nor forget the presidency that once again eluded her due to her own fault.

DOJ IG INVESTIGATES FBI COMY

Michael E. Horowitz, the Justice Department Inspector General said he will review how the FBI and Justice Department handled certain aspects of the Hillary Clinton email investigation; including FBI Director James Comey's news conference in July and his two letters to lawmakers in late October and early November. Icheoku says why pick and choose what to review; instead just review all the gaddam Hillary Clinton's emails including why she was not indicted following the case made for her indictment by the FBI. Only a total review will assure Americans that this is not part of the witch-hunt to diminish Donald Trump's presidential election victory as well as his coming presidency. Icheoku says Americans should demand all or nothing; it is either the IG reviews everything or nothing at all.

A MEDAL FOR JOE BIDEN

RUSSIAN HACK OF ELECTION, NO SMOKING GUN REVEALED.

“While Russia, China, other countries, outside groups and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations including the Democrat National Committee, there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines. There were attempts to hack the Republican National Committee, but the RNC had strong hacking defenses and the hackers were unsuccessful. - PE Donald John Trump.

GEORGE MICHAEL, DEAD AT 53.

Icheoku says the British mega pop star, whose famous songs includes "Father Figure", is dead. George Michael was aged 53 years and died of natural causes; so far no foul play has been detected as his cause of death. George Michael was gay and could have contracted the AIDS or died of drug overdose; admitted, none of which has been confirmed as the cause of his death. Icheoku says what a year 2016 has been and which has refused to simply go away without causing further havocs. So many stars and celebrities have fallen just this year alone including Prince and now this guy. Icheoku says may his soul rest in peace; Adieu George.

HILLARY CLINTON: AN AMERICAN REJECT IN DENIAL.

Icheoku says Ms Nasty Crooked Hillary Clinton is in denial and has refused to look into the mirror to see the actual reason why she lost starring back at her. First she blamed FBI's Comey letter to Congress; then Electoral college and now white women who did not gather around the first female presidential candidate for her loss. Icheoku says exactly what living a life of lie and being in denial looks like. Hopefully she will make a full recovery before this loss gets the better part of her, both body and mind.

JANET RENO, DEAD AT 78.

Icheoku says the former Attorney General of the United States of America under President Bill Clinton, who served between 1993 to 2001, has died. Janet Wood Reno, a known feminist and first woman to ever serve in that capacity, died of Parkinson related old age disease on November 7, 2016; one day shy of voting for her compatriot feminist Hillary Clinton. Icheoku says to Janet to say hi to David Koresh of Branch Davidian if you see him and apologize for the fiery roast that ended his life and that of his followers in Waco Texas. Adieu.

DONNA BRAZILE CAUGHT CHEATING?

Icheoku says the Democratic Party women are full of twists and turns and are now irredeemably bonded in crookedness and corruption. The latest being Donna Brazile, the acting chairperson of the party who replaced the erstwhile chairperson who was forced to resign last summer for playing hanky-panky with party elections. Now Donna Brazile has been caught helping Hillary Clinton cheat during the primaries debates; but whether she will be asked to follow suit her predecessor Debbie Wasserman Shultz and also resign, the jury is still out. What a basket of corrupt and crooked cheaters but if only the basket weaver can weave one for her fellow crooked fellows.

CROOKED HILLARY CLINTON, A JANUS WITH TWO FACES.

Icheoku says she has two personas - one which she wears in public and the other which she wears when in the privacy of her donor class and special interests. In the former, she pretends to be a compassionate Mother Theresa and in the latter her true self emerges, disparaging every American and compartmentalizing them into various baskets, from deplorables to basement dwellers to super predators. Now it has also emerged that privately Crooked Hillary Clinton is for OPEN BORDERS and FREE TRADE as well as for Bankers to reform banks. Icheoku says Crooked Hillary Clinton, simply too dangerous for America and cannot be trusted with the presidency. What a woman that is too greedy for power that she can say and do anything to grab power.

ROD 'THRILLER' TEMPERTON IS DEAD.

Icheoku says the man who penned Thriller for Michael Jackson is dead. Rod Temperton died of cancer, aged 66. He rose from a frozen fish factory worker to prominence, writing so many great hits including Thriller, Off The Wall, Rock With You, Give Me The Night, Sweet Freedom, Always & Forever, Boogie Nights etc. Two of his many client-artists are Donna Summer and Mariah Carey. A recluse of some sort who hates the limelight and who once said "he watches telly, catch up the news and maybe the phone will ring" in response to what occupies his time when not writing songs. Icheoku says rest in peace Mr Thriller and please say hi to MJ.

MOTHER TERESA NOW A SAINT, HURRAY.

FATHER JACQUES HAMEL BEHEADED IN FRANCE BY ISIS

Icheoku says how many more lives would it take before the West realizes that Western culture and civilization is under threat by these murderous Islamists terrorists? Now they have beheaded a Reverend Father inside a church while he was celebrating a mass with the Eucharist, thus desecrating the Holy Church. From killing little innocent children to killing heavily pregnant mothers to now killing a priest. Icheoku says please somebody reassure Icheoku this is not now the new normal? Father Jacques Hamel was 80 years old. RIP.

COUP ATTEMPT IN TURKEY, STILL FLUIDY?

Icheoku says the attempted military putsch against the Sultan-President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, appears shifty. It looks like it is not successful or it is being resisted by troops loyal to the Islamist president; who is trying to completely sharianize Turkey and turn it into an ultra Islamic Sharia Republic. Icheoku hopes that Turkish people can wrestle back their once beloved secular and free country from both those fundamentalist Islamists as represented in Erdogan as well as the military adventurists usurpers that are engaged in the current coup.

GERMANY EKES A WIN OVER ITALY

Icheoku suddenly found self rooting for Germany in their quarter final match against Italy. Like the racists every person is, Icheoku's heart went out to Jerome Boateng after his handling of the ball within the eighteenth, gave Italy a penalty kick with which they leveled with Germany. Icheoku knew that he would have been chewed out by an otherwise racist world media, particularly those in Germany for costing Germany their berth in the semis finals. Luckily, the good Lord was equally watching and decided to help save the situation. In a never seen before several misses in penalty kicks, both countries missed three kicks until Germany scored to clinch victory and secure a place in the semi finals. Icheoku says congratulations to the Germans and bless your heart Boateng and please do not handle the ball again.

WAYNE ROONEY AND HIS ENGLISH SIDE HUMBLED BY BOYS OF REYKJAVIK.

Icheoku says Karma is a bitch and following their Brexit, England national team have been ousted from Euro 2016 championship. A little known soccer playing nation Iceland defeated the once world famous England 2 - 1 and thus sent the Wayne Rooney English side back to England. Their national coach Roy Hodgson resigned following the calamitous disaster and Icheoku as well as the world expects Wayne Rooney to do the same. At least he should follow the example of Argentine Lionel Messi and make way for another more capable and able leader to emerge. Congratulations Iceland.

COPA AMERICA 2016, MESSI FAILS AGAIN.

Icheoku says a tree never a forest makes; and so it happened again that the diminutive soccer maestro Lionel Messi could not lift the championship trophy for his country Argentina. Not only did he not score any goal during the game, but he also missed a penalty kick and you wonder if his country lost to Chile due to his own failures. A soccer championship finals that went into overtime without producing a winner and was decided in a 4 - 3 penalty kicks in favor of Chile. Icheoku says congratulations Chileans for your back to back championship wins.

BRITISH PM CAMERON, RESIGNS.

Icheoku says a functioning society, a Prime Minister falls on his sword for unsuccessfully leading the campaign to remain in European Union. Icheoku wishes him well as the wishes of the people prevails over every other thing. Thankfully Britain is not a third world country where leaders do not take responsibility for their failings, hence the transition and any fall out from this development will be well cushioned. Whatever happens, Britain will survive and will solider on among the comity of nations. So long Cam.

ORLANDO MASS MURDERER, GAY?

Icheoku says Omar Sadiq Mateen, the maniac who slaughtered 49 innocent Americans is himself a gay man, who was heavily conflicted about his sexuality. Latest available information has it that he frequents Pulse night club for dates and pickups; and you wonder if he was a jilted lover and decided to take it out on people he believed rejected him. Married in name only and for cultural acceptance but conflicted as to his sexual reality. What a maga dog this guy is that wrought this great havoc in Orlando.

WARRIORS V. CAVALIERS NBA FINALS, ENCORE.

Icheoku hereby congratulates both the Western and Eastern Conferences champions, Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers; and as they meet again in a back to back NBA finals, Icheoku says may the better side win. Icheoku is somehow conflicted with both teams as one part of Icheoku roots for King James to deliver a title to Cleveland; while the other part roots for homie Warriors. Warriors won last 2015 and possibly might win again this 2016; but should Cavaliers win, it is going to be also good. Let the finals begin and let the fireworks explode.

PRESIDENT DILMA ROUSSEFF, SUSPENDED.

Icheoku says Brazillian senate has voted to begin impeachment process against President Dilma Rouseff, who now stands down now as president, suspended, pending the determination of the impeachment proceeding. She now follows in the footsteps of former President Fernando Collar de Mello who was similarly impeached from office in 1992. Hopefully Brazil will get its act together and resolve the political logjam before it takes a turn for the worse spiraling into a political turmoil. According to the suspended president, she is a "victim of great injustice."

PHILIPPINES HAS A NEW PRESIDENT, RODRIGO DIRTERTE

PAUL RYAN TO BE CANTORED - SARAH PALIN

Icheoku says it is about time he paid a hefty price for daring to take sides in a dispute wherein he is an umpire. An adroit politic player should have stayed off the frail but not a Mitt Romney apologist eager to please his establishment backers. According to Sarah Palin, "His political career is over but for a miracle because he has so disrespected the will of the people, and as the leader of the GOP, the convention, certainly he is to remain neutral, and for him to already come out and say who he will not support is not a wise decision of his."

PAUL RYAN IN A BIND, SAYS NOT THERE YET?

Icheoku says he is part of the establishment politicians sweating so hard to stop Trump. He is a Congressman and has unsuccessfully ran for the Republican Party's presidential primaries in the past; he also once ran as vice presidential candidate of Mitt Romney and is currently the Speaker of Congress. So it is not hard to see the shackles holding him down from making a full throttle embrace and endorsement of presumptive nominee Donald Trump. His conflicts of loyalty and interest are weighing heavily on him, especially with the already anti-Trump stance of his former presidential team-master Mitt Romney. He is a politician with eyes to a future of higher callings and does not want to step on toes or burn bridges that he will need to crossover. So he was being careful and hedging his bets when he weighed in on candidate/nominee Donald Trump. According to Speaker Paul Ryan, "I am not ready to support Speaker Ryan's agenda. Perhaps in the future we can work together and come to an agreement about what is best for the American people. They have been treated so badly for so long that it is about time for politicians to put them first!" Icheoku says things will eventually settle down at the right time, so let the campaign against the Crooked Hillary begin and begin earnestly.

FIORINA TUMBLES DOWN, THE PRELUDE?

Icheoku says Ted Cruz's presidential running mate, Carly Fiorina, took one for the Lyin' Ted when she stumbled and fell down while introducing the Lyin' Ted at an event in La Porte Indiana. Icheoku says possibly the Gods are angry at the Lyin' Ted, a drowning man, for clutching at whatever straw he can find to hold unto. What a sure ominous sign which does not bode well for the comical campaign of the Lyin' Ted and the 'Look At That Face' Fiorina. Icheoku says the Gods are wise as the sacrifice has no offals and no one needs a soothsayer to interpret the omen. Go Trump; Vote Trump.

LYIN' TED IS LOSING HIS MIND, NAMES A RUNNING MATE.

Icheoku says what other evidence of desperation of a drowning man who catches any and every straw around. After suffering the worst shellacking of any kind known in political primaries, the man who holds bible up in one hand, drops it and starts lying, has presumptuously named Carly Fiorina his vice presidential running mate. Icheoku says can one give what he does not have; otherwise how can a person who is not a presidential candidate name a vice presidential candidate. Icheoku says Lyin' Ted has once again not only lied to himself but to Carly Fiorina. This Ted, Americans don't trust and cannot trust because he is Lyin' Ted.

CHYNA DEAD AT 46, RIP

Icheoku says WWE female phenom, dubbed 9th Wonder of the world, Joan Marie Laurer aka CHYNA is dead. She died of complications from drug overdose. She was 46 years old. A woman of may parts, after her wrestling career, she dabbled into Reality Television with Surreal Life, posed for Playboy magazine, taught English in Japan and also acted pornography movies. But she had her monkey of drug addition which saw her participate in Celebrity Rehab; but she never actually truly kicked the habit and eventually lost her life to it. Icheoku says rest in peace Chyna.

LOW ENERGY JEB ENDORSES LYING TED

Icheoku says wonders shall never end and in the silly season of politics, strange things do happen. Imagine the low energy JEB, who blew hundreds of millions of dollars on his own failed candidacy without much to show for it, not even one state win; now is pretending to confer something on the lying Ted Cruz. Anyway, by the endorsement, Ted Cruz is now tainted as an adopted establishment candidate. Ted Cruz will mortgage American peoples' interest to the same entrenched interests that have held it down for so long. Ted Cruz, not a person we can trust to shake things up and get the country moving again. Say no to liars, reject the lying Ted as no American wants a low energy presence in the White House. VOTE FOR TRUMP.

ROB FORD, FORMER TORONTO MAYOR, DEAD AT 46

JAMES OCHOLI, MURDERED?

"His driver slammed on the brakes after receiving a radio message from the security car behind the minister’s main vehicle alerting him to a low pressure on one of the back tires. The driver’s panicked reaction precipitated an accident as the security vehicle then rammed into the minister’s vehicle, which somersaulted several times, instantly killing Mr. Ocholi and his first son. Mrs. Ocholi was subsequently pronounced dead after she was taken to a hospital." ICHEOKU queries: how close was the security vehicle to notice that the tire had low pressure? Second, how possible is it that a driver driving such a top state official is not experienced enough to feel the rough drive usually associated with low tire pressure? What made the driver to panic instantly as to force immediate full braking of the vehicle? How could a vehicle following at a safe distance ram into the minister's vehicle triggering the somersault which led to the accident and eventual death? Icheoku says something does not sound right here as the account of what happened suggests that a hit job was done on the minister; but where the order came from is the only thing subject to resolving here. Change has indeed come to Nigeria.

BEN CARSON RESTS PRESIDENTIAL BID.

Icheoku says a campaign that never took flight finally floundered and sputtered to an end. He could not even keep his eyelids up to hold open his eyes; always fidgeting and twiddling his fingers and rubbing his hands with such uninspiring aura that is not what American presidency deserves nor desires this 2016. Icheoku says Ben Carson should try his hands in pastoring a church where he will be a perfect fit but certainly not the dreamed presidency. A case of monkey do, monkey see and monkey wan do. Yes, Obama became president, so why not him. Anyway, nobody will actually miss him; so long Doc.

MITT ROMNEY HAS NOTHING ON TRUMP.

ICHEOKU says a failed loser who lost to a nigger, the angry conceited Mitt Romney is now telling Americans what? ICHEOKU says this particular Mormon who tied his family dog on roof of his car for a twelve hour journey thinking the dog was having fun, has nothing to tell Americans about their dear Donald Trump which is worth any iota of weight. So Americans, remember he is Mitt the Grinch as you listen to whatever gibberish he has to say; if only he could first return Trump's money for credibility. What a jealous nymph.

JEB BUSH EATS THE HUMBLE PIE, DROPS OUT.

Icheoku says if only he had listened to his mother who earlier counseled him that the American people have had enough of the Bushes, may be he will not be so disgracefully forced to quit his presidential campaign bid. Icheoku however disagrees with JEB that wasting over $100 million with nothing to show for it but mediocre outing is tantamount to running a good campaign. Anyway, a good riddance to an intending political dynasty which American people frowns at. So long JEB and go make peace with Donald Trump that he may consider you for a cabinet position.

BOUTROS BOUTROS GHALI, DEAD AT 93.

Icheoku says Egyptian born former United Nations Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali is dead. He died of natural causes at a very ripe old age of 93 years. He held sway at the world body between 1992 to 1994. Icheoku's favorite quotes of his include:- “But the Roman empire had no need of diplomacy. Neither does the United States.” and “Nobody is interested in the poor countries in Africa or anywhere in the world." Icheoku says true to type, for speaking up to the powers that be, they made sure that he did not enjoy a second term at the world organization. Icheoku says rest in peace BBG. Adieu son of Africa.

DROWNING JEB SENDS SOS TO 90 YEAR MOM?

Icheoku says how else does anyone identify a drowning man than he that is struggling to catch every straw floating by. Imagine the "LOW ENERGY" John Ellis Bush now calling on his 90 year mother, Barbara Bush, to please come to his rescue and help persuade the American people on his worthiness for president? Icheoku says the problem is not in the microphone but in American peoples' fatigue with the Bush as well as the Clinton name. Americans say no more of both families because governing America is not a family-members only affair. Just wondering who he will call when governing or negotiating with Putin becomes tough; May be his daddy? Why not for the mommy's boy.

OSCARS MAELSTROM, JUST A TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

Icheoku says racism in America is a fact of everyday life and no place is spared of it. Icheoku once had a stint in a law firm of about 800 lawyers with only two black lawyers therein. Even our television screens screams of white only America in the faces of presenters and anchors; so what is the fuss about that the Oscars are kowtowing the cue? However, Icheoku is glad that some Hollywood heavy-hitters, who are black, tired of don't disturb their groove attitude, are finally voicing their concerns.

EL CHAPO BUSTED.

Icheoku says at least he got his six months of freedom after tunneling his way out of prison and now Joaquín Guzmán Loera aka El Chapo, the Mexican drug lord has been re-captured. Channeling Paul Bremer's Saddam Hussein's capture announcement as well as former President George Bush exuberant announcement aboard the aircraft carrier, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, said “Mission accomplished: We have him”; admitted he did not prefix it with "ladies and gentlemen" and replaced "got" with "have." Usually there is no hiding place for the gold fish.

SAUDI ARABIA EXECUTES SHIITE CLERIC NIMR.

Icheoku says gradually the war of worlds of Islamic sects is coming to a hilt as a likely showdown between the two custodians of Sunni and Shia (Shiite), Saudi Arabia and Iran is now looking more likely and their continued saber rattling is growing louder. Peradventure the execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr will provide them the much needed fuse to ignite their world of supremacy war. Meanwhile who knows if President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria will equally execute the other leader of Shiites in Nigeria Sheikh Ibraheem el Zakizaky who is being detained in Nigeria? The world including Icheoku is waiting and watching.

HOVER-BOARDING PRIEST, SO COOL AND HIP.

Icheoku says the reason why the Catholic church is losing so many parishioners is their vice hold on ancient traditions in this modern times. They are stuck on yesterday while the whole world has since gone the opposite direction, leaving them behind. So what is wrong in a Fillipino catholic priest riding among his congregants on a hover-board, thus bringing some pep and modernity to preaching the gospel. Unfortunately just like pentecostal churches are eating their lunch because they are stuck up on boring traditions, so will they continue to frustrate parishioners out of their church, tired of sitting through drab and boring gospels. Icheoku says there is nothing wrong with a hovering man in long white cassock, it is cool; so please just let that priest do his thing as our Lord Jesus will have nothing against that.

CHELSEA AND JOSE MOURINHO PARTS WAYS.

Icheoku says the firing of the award winning manager of Chelsea is yet another testament that one is as good as what he or she brings to the table. All his storied record with the club notwithstanding, no one remembered when it came time to let him go that the sun does not shine always. But hey, failure has no companion and he was hired regardless to bring home the bacon which he has failed to do so far very recently. But hey, Jose will be fine and Jose will find something to do as he is one heck of a good coach. From Icheoku to Mourinho, good luck and all the best; and after the rainfall usually comes sunshine. The fog of defeat will surely lift off.

OSCAR PISTORIUS IS A MURDERER.

RHONDA ROUSEY RETURNS, ASHAMED?

Icheoku says the ever showy UFC lady who was decimated by Holly Holms returned to Los Angeles covering her face in shame. Icheoku says there is nothing to be ashamed with failing, you just gonna get up and soldier on. But with Rhonda, she has convinced herself that is she is superhuman and invincible, who no one could beat, hence the overwhelming feeling her loss in Melbourne Australia has become. Now the girl who likes to let everybody know who is calling all the shots could not even brave showing her face. Icheoku says what a huge joke life is that plays such a cruel joke on people.

FIFA U-17 WORLD CUP CHILE 2015, AN ALL AFRICAN FINALS.

Icheoku says it is an all African affairs as Nigeria which routed Mexico 4 - 2 faces another African country Mali which defeated Belgium 3 -1. It is going to be a beautiful finals as both teams have good ball jugglers and are equally strong with great stamina. Admitted that Mali beat Croatia that beat Nigeria, but it is going to be a good soccer outing and Icheoku predicts a Nigerian victory over Mali but by a small margin. Congratulations Nigeria and Mali and may the better side win it for Africa.

HILLARY CLINTON, READY TO LOSE TO ANOHTER NIGGER?

JOEY IS OUT, NOT RUNNING.

Icheoku says it appears Vice President Joe Biden could not afterall find the needed fire in the belly to prosecute the 2016 presidential election campaign. As a result, he has bowed out of a possible run, blaming family and time as factors against. Icheoku says it would have been difficult winning based on the record he shares with President Barack Obama. Anyway, it makes it now much easier for Donald J Trump to make an easier dash for the White House, provided of course he picks a minority, probably Ben Carson, as his running mate. Icheoku wishes Joey all the best.

RADIO BIAFRA NNAMDI KANU, A SALUTE TO COURAGE.

Icheoku says to believe in a cause and be ready to suffer some inconvenience as well as to die for it if need be is courage defined. For this reason, Icheoku hereby recognizes Nnamdi Kanu as a man of great courage who in his pursuit of the realization of Biafra, using his own weapon of mass dissemination of information, Radio Biafra, has now been made enemy of the Nigeria state. Admitted a one Nigeria is preferred but reasons for the agitation for an independent state of Biafra is everywhere. Kudos NK.

ISSA HAYAOTU, FIFA ACTING PRESIDENT.

Icheoku says the embattled president of FIFA Sepp Blatter has finally been forced to step aside as FIFA tries to find its way out of the woods that is its current corruption quagmire. To act in his place is the African Confederation Chairman Cameroonian Issa Hayaotu. Icheoku says whatever as FIFA needs a total outsider to come in and clean house. Issa Hayaotu has been there for as long and might equally be part of the problem rather than the solution. But hey, the world is watching the house of football/soccer to see how it comes out of its dug hole. Congratulations Issa for at least being the first blackman allowed into the FIFA executive chair.

JORDAN DAVIS FOUNDATION INC.,

Icheoku had a chance meeting with the father of Florida playing loud music murdered teenager, Jordan Davis. It was an exhilarating experience indeed; moreso as all the story of murdered Jordan was world wide and merely a static until a human face of the tragedy crossed our path. Icheoku discussed extensively some problems of blacks in America before we shook parting hands. He gave Icheoku an armband and a card, picture of both are posted here. Icheoku has not lost a child and cannot pretend to know what type of irate feeling it must be for a parent to lose his child in the manner Jordan was murdered - simply for playing music in his own car which the assailant who parked nearby considered to be too loud. A matter made worse because he never gave Jordan the choice of tuning down the music OR...? Anyway, this is a shout out to Ron Davis and our little way of keeping the issue alive.

PILOT DIES MIDAIR, WHAT A SCARE!

BUHARI HIJACKS OIL MINISTRY.

“I will remain Minister of Petroleum." - President Muhammadu Buhari. Icheoku says as if he has done creditably well with just being president of Nigeria? Now PMB has added or rather appropriated to himself yet another portfolio - minister of OIL? Now go figure how everything will go asleep in Nigeria under a Baba Go Slow president who is now doubling as Minister of Petroleum. Like the Ota Deity, Baba Iyabo Olusegun Obasanjo, who equally doubled as Petroleum Minister, these army men are simply taking Nigerians for a ride, arrogating to themselves all these holier than thou, unearned and unmerited, status. What a leper colony Nigeria has become that cannot even stand up and face down this despot or did he call himself a "converted democrat" and you wonder wherein is the conversion in this man. What a shame!

BUHARI GREEN-LIGHTS BIAFRA?

“As we engage in these annual debates, we need remind ourselves of the principles that led to the founding of the United Nations. Among those are peaceful coexistence and self-determination of peoples. In this context, Mr. President, the unresolved question of self-determination for the Palestinian people and those of Western Sahara, both nations having been adjusted by the United Nations as qualifying for this inalienable right must now be assured and fulfilled without any further delay or obstacle." - President Muhammadu Buhari at the UN. Icheoku says thought the people of Biafra equally wants their own self-determination or are they not deemed qualified to so aspire? Just asking, since PMB has left the door open by saying that such is an inalienable right of the people?

SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER FORCED OUT?

Icheoku says the American Taliban of the United States Congress has finally succeeded in ousting moderate Speaker John Boehner from office and out of power. The speaker, rather than be forced to the very far right of the Republican controlled Congress, decided to take a bow and surrender power. Now the extremist far right fringed fundamentalists wing of the Republican Party will want to drive the country to the edge of the cliff with their sanctimonious agenda BUT would the country let them? Only time will tell and to Speaker John Boehner, Icheoku says so long.

HID AWOLOWO DEAD AT NEARLY 100 YEARS OLD.

Icheoku says like with every mortal, the end always eventually comes regardless of how long the journey lasted. Hannah Idowu Dideolu Awolowo walked this journey called life for quite a long time and now deserves to rest. Icheoku says you know how long one has lived when the person's children starts to predecease him or her and at age 70 plus. A woman who got 28 years ahead her husband Obafemi Awolowo who died since 1987 did in fact live a very long time. Icheoku says rest in peace and say hello to your husband Awo. Please let him know also that the tribalism he implanted in Nigeria is reaping the very body fabric of the nation to shreds. Also that the presidency which eluded him is now somewhat in Awolowo family by proxy of his grandson inlaw, Vice President Oshibanjo. Adieu HID.

MINISTERS ARE NOISE MAKERS - BUHARI?

Icheoku says at last President Muhammadu Buhari has inadvertently let the cat out of the bag on the real reason he does not want to appoint ministers and would never have, but for the constitution which makes it imperative. According to PMB, they are just noise makers. In his own words, "The ministers are there, I think, to make a lot of noise; for the politicians to make a lot of noise." Icheoku says what a disdainful and disrespectful thing to say of a people; and now you know the mindset which this lean and mean Cassius of Daura has, that looks down on everybody? But President Muhammadu Buhari has no choice in the matter and must keep faith accordingly, this September, by appointing those noise makers as mandated, regardless. The other question is whether any serious Nigerian will still accept such appointment, fully aware that his boss, the president, regards him as a lousy noise maker? But hey, Icheoku waits with great expectation to know the identities of these noise makers of Nigeria. Icheoku laments what a president suffering from a diarrhea of the mouth and who seriously needs an urgent speaking coach.

9/11 DUSTY LADY, DEAD AT 42.

Icheoku says her ordeal on September 11 2001 terrorist attack in Manhattan NewYork sprung her unto the world stage as that well dressed lady covered in dusty asbestos. Marcy Borders, age 42, has died of stomach cancer which she allegedly caught from inhaling asbestos dust on 9/11. Icheoku queries if it were the dust, why not lung cancer instead? Anyway, rest in peace as the dusty lady has now returned to the dust from which she was made and momentarily covered in on that horrific day of hell at the World Trade Center.

OONI OF IFE, DEAD AT 85 YEARS.

Icheoku says like everything in life, his sojourn on earth has come to a final full stop, ended. Now he will go back to his maker to give account of his stewardship while he lasted. The Ooni of Ife, Alayeluwa Oba Okunade Sijuwade is dead. He was 85 years old and died in London of old age related complications and ailments. He began his reign in December 6, 1980. Icheoku says in the battle of supremacy among Yoruba monarchs, the Ooni has now lost out to the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, with whom he has been in running battle of who is the supreme generalissimo of Yoruba land monarchs. May his soul now rest. Adieu.

BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN IS DEAD, GONE TO BE WITH MOM?

Icheoku says in crack-land, that is. Now they can smoke the hookah pipe, plus whatever is in it, without fear of ever being whacked again; because in that land beyond the horizon, crack is not that whacky. Bobbi Kritsina Brown was 22 years old and dried out dead in a hospice, where she was deprived of any nutrition following her irrecoverable brain-dead state? Another example of innocence lost and how not to love a child so much as to spoil and completely destroy her. So long Bobbi and say hello to Whitney. Now her father and former husband of her late mother Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, is left wifeless and daughterless; a widower and a father-ower of some sort? But hey, life happens and it is nobody's business but Bobby Brown's prerogative to deal with it?

SEPP BLATTER, BLASTED WITH CASH.

Icheoku says as if he has not en-massed enough already, the eminently corrupt FIFA President Sepp Blatter received massive cash influx today, courtesy of British comic Lee Nelson, who rained bundles of cash on the embattled FIFA president. But the Greeks would have made better use of it though? Icheoku says this man has lost every credibility to still be sitting as president of FIFA, the corruption cesspool. Luckily it was not some putrefied eggs or garlic sauce that was bombed on him. Lucky bastard.

PMB, 406 NIGERIANS KILLED IN 36 DAYS?

Icheoku says in President Muhammadu Buhari’s 36 days in office, Boko Haram have killed 406 Nigerians. At an average of 11 Nigerians killed each day, is any Nigerian going to still be alive by the time PMB's term finishes? Icheoku says what an alarming crisis point Nigeria has finally reached in their struggle against Boko Haram terrorists and the new president does not seem to have an answer to the madness; at least not yet? A president who rode into office assuring that Boko Haram will be a thing of the past upon being sworn in as president, BUT....

USA V. JAPAN FINALS, THE RIVALRY CONTINUES.

Icheoku says it is deja vu 2011 as that year's two FIFA Women's World Cup finalists USA and Japan are at it again. Japan won in 2011; but this year in Canada 2015, Icheoku is confident that Team USA will take their revenge on Team Japan. So on Sunday, July 5, 2015 when the final whistle is blown in Canada, United States Women soccer team will lift the championship cup. What a good match they have played so far but only a victory over the Japanese side will really provide the good icing on the cake. Go Team USA.

OBAMACARE IS HERE TO STAY - SUPREME COURT

Icheoku says at last President Obama signature legislation is effectively part of America's landmark benefits as the Supreme Court in a six to three decision has upheld a vital part of the law which otherwise would have seen it collapse. Now Americans who were hitherto priced out of health insurance market can now get covered courtesy of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. Icheoku says congratulations to BO and also grateful for the courage at the Supreme Court that gave its final seal of approval.

SAVE A MOTHER TODAY, DONATE.

Icheoku says according to Savingmothers.org, "more than 343,000 women in developing nations die during childbirth every year." So, could the solution lie in having less babies one may ask; except that such drastic measure would lead to the eventual extinction of mankind? Anyway, this organization seems to have figured out what causes this maternal mortality and what could be done to help plug it up. Icheoku encourages you to donate today to Savingmothers.org to help the group continue its good work saving mothers, especially in developing world.

RELIGION IS INDEED POLITICS?

icheoku agrees with the school of thought which says that religion is an organized politics. Imagine a church which does not usually always agree with science particularly as it appertains to evolution, now seems to agree with the same science on global warming? Anyway, to each his or her own; but Icheoku would rather these men of God consign themselves with their primary task of winning souls for God and leave politics for politicians and science for scientists. But hey, what does Icheoku know to hold an opinion in matters of faith and religion?

PMB, SIMPLY TOO OLD TO FUNCTION?

"I wish I became Head of State when I was a governor, just a few years as a young man. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do.” - President Muhammadu Buhari. ICHEOKU asks when did PMB realize that he is a very old man and unfit for the daunting office of the presidency? Did he just wake up from a deep coma he went into since 1985 to suddenly realize that at 73 years old, he is simply too old to effectively function as president? But hey, those Nigerians that bought into his snake-oil are the ones to blame not PMB, who has been making one excuse after another on why he cannot deliver on his various election promises to Nigerians and you wonder who actually drank the cyanide-laced coolaid on March 28, 2015.

CHRIS ANYANWU, CO-SPONSOR OF NIGERIA'S CHILD-MOTHERS BILL?

Icheoku says alongside the notorious child-molester who forcibly takes ten and eleven year old female children as wives, Ahmed Yerima, she co-sponsored the Sexual Offenses Bill 2015 which makes it okay for men to go into eleven year old girls? Icheoku asks what is wrong with matured ladies and why this preference for young innocents who are not matured enough to make informed sexual consent. Icheoku admonishes that this bill must not be signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari as it is or better still it should be sent back to the Senate for upward review of the age of consent and sexual maturity of Nigerian girls.

PRINCE GEORGE DOTES ON LITTLE SISTER, PRINCESS CED.

TARIQ AZIZ, ESCAPES THE NOOSE?

Icheoku says it would appear that the colorful face of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, the ever vivacious Information Minister, Tariq Aziz, finally left this world on his own accord and not by force of an Iraqi government's hangman's noose? Tariq died of heart attack, he was 79 years old. Icheoku says may his soul now rejoin his boss Saddam Hussein so that they can continue smoking Cuban cigars and having fun, being ministered by Iraqi people; only that there will be no Iraqi people over there to be taken prisoners of their depravity. Oh, my bad memory, Icheoku almost forgot that the over nine hundred thousand Iraqis killed since the Iraqi invasion can be re-captured by the duo and put under their jackboot once again. Why not, if not; since those Iraqis will still recognize, bow and tremble at their sight? Adieu TA.

VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN LOSES SON TO CANCER.

137 SHOTS FIRED, YET MICHAEL BRELO NOT GUILTY?

WENDY LEDWABA, SUPPORTS XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS?

”I dnt care what u say. I’ve lived amongst Nigerians ..my best friend is married to a Nigerian ..they r heartless …they dnt care how they get the money and they think they are untouchable …even the zims and Congolese I know hate Nigerians ..deny it all u want but u and I know that the good Nigerians are only a hand full…if these attacks were directed only at the Nigerians I ddnt even feel an ounce of hurt cos I’ve witnessed all around the pain and chaos they’ve caused” Icheoku admonishes what a Jezebel of South Africa this daughter of Eve is that drives joy seeing innocent lives wasted just because of hatred.

RAHEEM AGBAJE SALAMI, HOW NOT TO APPEAL A SENTENCE?

Icheoku says one of the most pathetic case in the tragic Indonesia executed drug peddlers is the case of one Nigerian Raheem Agbaje Salami. He was tried and convicted for possession of heroine which he concealed inside his suitcase, in Surabaya airport on September 2, 1998. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1999, which he appealed and the sentence was reduced to twenty years. Then buoyed by the successful outcome of his appeal, he further appealed for the reduction of his twenty years sentence to the Supreme Court, which then reversed both lower courts decisions and handed him a death sentence. He petitioned for clemency to the clemency board, pleading to even accept his original life sentence instead, but was rejected. He was among those executed alongside eight others in Indonesia. Icheoku says what a way not to bring undue hardship upon oneself, except that he was not a seer to know the outcome of his effort. RIP.

BALTIMORE BURNING !!!

Icheoku says regrettably what is going on in Baltimore Maryland is the venting of age long animosity against the police and the state for their perceived indifference to blacks in America; a long cry for help that have gone unanswered and for a long time. From Ferguson to Oakland to South Carolina to New York to now Baltimore, the story is the same throughout America, blackman killed by police and nothing happens to the police? Anyway, Icheoku hopes that the authorities will listen to this continuous cry for help by black Americans before something more drastic and earth-shattering destructive happens.

DAVID CAMERON, LIKE BUHARI, WILL NOT DEBATE?

AARON HERNANDEZ GETS LIFE!

"I hereby sentence you to a term of your natural life without the possibility of parole." With those words Judge Susan Garsh sent the former New England Patriot NFL player, Aaron Hernandez, to a long pensive time behind prison walls to enable him reflect on his action that night that saw his friend Odin Lloyd murdered by him. Icheoku says Hernandez has now finally moved to a really big house as his multi-million dollar mansion seem not to be big enough for him afterall. An equal opportunity penal system that had blind eye to his rising status and boy will he have enough time to actually do some thinking, being merely 25 years old himself. What a life wasted and a budding American dream now evaporated into a nightmare. Oh America, our America that can see you rise and fall within blithering moments.

DON'T CONDONE GENOCIDE, REJECT BUHARI

Icheoku says this was me in Biafra, before the airlift to Libreville Gabon from Uturu-Okigwe (present day Abia State) refugee camp, when kwashiorkor nearly got me disemboweled. Muhammadu Buhari and his band of rabid dogs inflicted this untold level of inhumane starvation on Icheoku alongside millions of other not as lucky but perished women and children of Biafra. Icheoku says if this callous jackal could so ruthlessly cause my empty stomach to so inflate, imagine the psi the thought of his present adventure is exerting on the cranial walls of my brains. So please Nigerians, help Icheoku tell Muhammadu Buhari that Icheoku and Nigerians have suffered enough hardship already under his watch and that he should watch Nigerians NO MORE. On February 14, 2015, with your vote, show that you are not completely drained of humanity like him, VOTE GEJ.

EMIR OF KANO, DEAD AT 81

Icheoku says the man who called the shots in Kano traditional council, Alhaji Ado Bayero, has died after 51 years on the throne of his fathers. Ado Bayero was a good man, detribalized and not fanatically religious. He visited Israel when Buhari prohibited such visits and was punished by Buhari for that. He also understood the plight of Biafrans and was a friend to Ojukwu until death and also attended his burial ceremony at Nnewi. While he reigned, every person in Kano felt at home because of who he is and the all-welcoming style of his leadership. Icheoku says with many Hausa/Fulani like Ado Bayero, Nigerians will not have problems with them. One other good news is that he died in Nigeria and did not go to India or any other medical tourism foreign country to die; unlike so many other high-up Nigerians. icheoku says rest in peace the peoples beloved Emir.

AMERICA BIDS FAREWELL TO NIGERIAN OIL?

Icheoku says if the US don't, China or India will or Nigerians might choose to DRINK it; afterall it is their oil and they can decide how they want to dispose it? Icheoku says no wonder all these Oil companies in Nigeria are beginning to divest their holdings therein and preparing to beat it and leave town asap. Anyway at least that will give a breather to the oil producing communities whose land and water are being destroyed by oil exploration and exploitation. There will be less oil spillage and pollution once America no longer needs as much oil as it gets now from Nigeria. One other good thing is that all those looters of state in Nigeria will have their swamps drained and out of business; thus making governance less attractive since the purpose of government therein is to control the looting apparatchik . Icheoku warns of this top speed freight train impending doom to whatever is left of the monolithic Nigerian economy once America says "See ya" to the Nigerian oil; BUT is Abuja listening?

NIGHT STALKER, STALKED BY DEATH

Icheoku says tired of waiting for the State of California to make up its mind and carry out the sentence of death by execution of the man who stalked and killed his victims (thirteen of them) back in the eighties, mother nature decided to take matters into her hand as it killed the man who killed so many. Richard Ramirez, a San Quentin death row inmate, died of liver failure, he was 53 years. Icheoku says may the spirits of those he dispatched man the gate of heaven and deny him entry therein and redirect him to his place - the hottest spot in hell. Ramirez, Icheoku says, stay in hell until it freezes over and since you worshiped Satan, this would be a good opportunity for it to reward your satanic work while you lived. To Hades, you go!

PINI JASON, REST IN PEACE.

“I write to create a living space for my children, and their generation. I write so that posterity will know that I saw my country sliding into self-destruction and I tried to do something about it.” - Pini Jason on why he writes in the way he writes. Icheoku says how about you? Why do you do what you do and do you do it in such a way so that posterity records you just like the pen-master continuously did until death snatched him away. Icheoku says who knows whether Jason (Pini) Onyeagbaduo was poisoned or died of stomach cancer or ruputured appendix; except that none of these matter any longer now that he is dead. Icheoku says adieu Pini Jason.

"DARK-SKINNED" BOSTON BOMBER WAS ACUTALLY "WHITE-SKINNED?"

Icheoku knew it was a matter of days before the security dragnet festooned on Boston after the Marathon bombing yielded a catch. Icheoku says congratulations to the men and women of Boston security outfit as well as the Federal agencies that assisted the operation. Icheoku however points out that "the dark-skinned" terrorist being expected never materialized. Anyway a white-terrorist is a white-terrorist whether it was just another "white-skinned" terrorist from Russian Chechyna; afterall they are all Caucasians. Unibomber was "white-skinned", Timothy McVeigh was "white-skinned," Atlanta Olympics bomber was "white-skinned," Abortion clinics bomber was "white-skinned," and a whole lotta other bombers so far whose skin had remained largely WHITE. Now the Boston Marathon bombers were equally "white-skinned." Despite this pattern, the white skinned John King of CNN said "a reliable source told him the terror suspect was "dark-skinned." Icheoku says this stray from skin-color should have triggered an alarm in John King's brain except that they were praying that another different race got into bombing terrorism business? Before Icheoku forgets, Osama Bin Laden was equally "white-skinned" for crying out loud. Icheoku is wondering whether John King will apologize to "dark-skinned" people of America for wishing them ill-luck and also if none Caucasians deserve a general additional apoology for what they have been and continued to be put through by these white-skinned" people? Anyway Congrats Boston for a job well done taking the two terrorist-brothers Tamaerlar and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev out of circulation and out of commission. Icheoku says if only IGP Mohammed of Nigeria can borrow a leaf from Boston on how to trap terrorists ditto those Boko Haram lunatics.

OBASANJO IS DELUSIONAL, NEVER HAD A PAST?

If only humanity cannot remember the past, especially those of them hibernating in Nigeria, this Otta deity would have pretended for good measure that he never once presided over Nigeria or destroyed its democracy in every way possible and better still, did not seek to elongate his term in office contrary to the constitution. Hear him now beating his hand on his chest and applauding Ghana's democracy as if when he had similar opportunity in Nigeria, he delivered. What a joke this man is and a rude one for crying out loud.

ITS 'HORSES AND BAYONETS' FOR THE MITT.

Mitt Romney's mindset truly shows where his heart is - reset America to its cold war days with Russia and pretend that modern aircraft carriers and other amphibious battle ships never happened. What a man set in his ways this Mormon bishop is who wants America to take a gamble with him in the White House. Icheoku says never again shall America hire as a president someone who does not understand with certain clarity the foreign policy objectives of the country and who would recklessly rush America into a needless and avoidable war. This November VOTE OBAMA.

CHINUA ACHEBE HAS A NEW BOOK, 'THERE WAS A COUNTRY', READ IT.

STEVE, THE BLIND WONDER, DIVORCES WIFE NUMBER TWO.

Even a blind man knows when it is time to throw in the towel, of marriage that is; and so it is that the blind maestro and accomplished musician, Steve Wonder, is divorcing his wife number two of many years. Icheoku does not know about you but there is something about marriage that makes it near impossible to work; otherwise may someone with better knowledge explain it to Icheoku why all these divorces including by a blind man who ordinarily needs all the dependency of a sighted wife to live a more meaningful life? Anyway, Steve, welcome to the land of Splitsville.

CATHOLIC MONSIGNOR HEADS TO PRISON!

America, the land of equal opportunity for justice where everybody is under the law including a Monsignor of the Roman Catholic church has convicted Monsignor William Lynn of child endangerment resulting from his failure to protect alter-boys from randy homosexual Catholic priests. The Catholic convict formerly was of Philadelphia Diocese and will soon be trading his Monsignor cassock for prison jump suit. Who knows what Vatican must be thinking about the Americans who gave no damn about convicting one of the Holy Sea's top-heavy, a Monsignor. What a day.

DICK CHENEY'S LESBIAN DAUGHTER TIES THE KNOT.

Mary Cheney, a Lesbian homosexual and daughter of Vart Nadar Dick Cheney former George Bush vice president has married her long time partner of nearly twenty years Heather Poe. Now what would the conservative far right Republicans who hate everything and anything not "traditional" do or say now that one of their own, Dick Cheney, has a daughter in law via marriage to his own daughter Mary. Anyway Icheoku does not care who anyone chooses to sleep with or better still marry; therefore our congratulations to the newest homosexual couples in town.

CONGRATULATIONS MADAM FACEBOOK!

Icheoku felicitates with the luckiest girl in the world. She is a medical doctor and now married to her longtime sweetheart of nine years courtship, Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg. Dr Priscilla Chan has thus made the Facebook founder an honest man. They tied the nuptial knot as husband and wife Saturday May 19th, 2012. Icheoku wishes the young couple a happily-ever married life. Theirs is a case of true love, having met each other as "hungry college students", when neither of them was somebody in the material sense of it. Now the rest of the gawking world must butt out and allow the couple to enjoy their life in matrimony. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Facebook, Priscilla and Mark Zuckerberg.

DONNA SUMMER, DEAD OF LUNG CANCER.

The gal who worked 'hard for her money' and who sought 'unconditional love' in return for her affection, LaDonna Adrian Gaines, who in agreement with the material girl Madonna that you should to do whatever is necessary to make a headway in life, including changing your name if need be, and changed her name to simply "Donna Summer" has died. The Queen of Disco who rocked dance floors back in the day (70's) died of lung cancer; 5/17/12. Donna Summer was 63. Icheoku says may her soul rest in peace.

DENNIS RODMAN HITS FINANCIAL ROCK BOTTOM.

Dennis Rodman, the once baddest of the bad-boys that ever played in the NBA, faced with over $800,000 arrears of unpaid child(ren) support and a backlog of a $17000 per month spousal maintenance is on the verge of jumping off the cliff into complete financial ruins. Icheoku says what a mixed blessing that the fortune which once smiled on some of these superstars brought tales of woes to their doorsteps. Imagine "The Worm" so broke that he cannot even afford to pay retainer fees for his attorney. Yet another case of a once was great come to ruins and you wonder, boy, was the preacher in the bible right about vanity upon vanities, all is vanity.

BIANCA EMBODIES GRACE IN MOURNING,

Icheoku says Bianca Onoh-Ojukwu is the stuff loyalty, queens, princesses and first ladies are made of and fortunately enough she is a "princess of Wawaland" by birth and queen of Igboland by marriage to the one and only acknowledged true Igbo leader Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. What a wife, who even in deep sorrow, looks so gracious it gives comfort. Icheoku is really very proud of this woman and pray that the good Lord speedy up her healing from the loss of her better half. Bianca, Icheoku says, Igbo people and indeed Nigerians in general are very proud of you for how you showed the world how to mourn a loved one. Take heart.

SARKOZY WANTS FRANCE FOR THE FRENCH ONLY?

Icheoku says the diminutive Frenchman Napoleon Bonaparte syndrome sufferer has turned a "Hitler"! Monsieur Nikolas Sarkozy now wants all none-white French to vacate the country since according to him, they are "too many foreigners on our territory" and France can longer accommodate them? Icheoku says here is a son of an Immigrant from Hungary now trying to bar other none French like his parents from coming into France. Query:- if such law were in effect when the elder Sarkozy migrated to France, would there be a French president named Nikolas Sarkozy today? It is all the I have crossed the bridge let it fall down selfishness which should not be allowed to make it to legislation. What a petty small minded individual that coughed up such discriminatory position statement.

SANDRA FLUKE, RUSH LIMBAUGH OVERREACHED HIMSELF AND SHOULD PAY A PENALTY.

Icheoku says without equivocation that redneck and women hater Rush Limbaugh certainly did himself in when he called a law student a slut and prostitute simply for having sex. As a consequence, his show should pay a steep price and possibly wind up like Murdock's News of the World newspapers in London. ANy listener of Rush Limbaugh;s diatribe knows that Rush does not mean well for America united and diverse; needless to say that President Obama has been the butt of all his talking points these last three years. Icheoku says let the hammer descend and let Rush Limbuaghs show come to a deserved end. Such a divisive hate-monger does not deserve a place in our mosaic American society and the opportunity to end his race-baiting could never have been any better. So with all the advertisers pulled let Icheoku see how any radio would profitably continue to carry such a horrible divisive scum called Rush Limbaugh's show.

ALLEN IVERSON, BROKE AND WONDERING WHERE HIS STASH WENT?

They never learn their lesson one would assume as another sports superstar falls from grace of being a multi-millionaire to the grass of a broke ass deadbeat. Allen Iverson of New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, Philadelphia Sixers etc reportedly has blown through a $154 million pot of cash earned during his professional basketball career, excluding endorsements? Now his checks are no longer honored by banks as a recent check he wrote for $860,000 to pay for bling-bling bounced? Icheoku said and now what or better still, where were his financial advisors?

KABIRU SOKOTO, BOKO HARAM KINGPIN RE-CAPTURED?

Icheoku commends the security agencies in Nigeria for saving their face with the latest capture of Boko Haram fugitive Terrorist Kabiru Sokoto. Looking at his photograph, it appears those lunatic Boko Haram terrorists are not serious with their hatred for anything Western otherwise why is he spiffed up in Western Puma T-shirt, blue denim and looking not so wretched? Icheoku hopes that he gets the death penalty, unlike the previously arrested and tried terrorist who got a mere slap-on-the-wrist three years in the slammer. Way to go agents, just show them pepper and fry their gaunt Islamic terrorist asses.

"SOMEONE IN HERE HAS BROKEN UP A FAMILY." - REV RUSSELL MOORE.

Icheoku says that was a direct one at Newt Gingrich as he attended church service at Lutz Florida by Reverend Moore who delivered the special sermon. Anyway, Newt is shameless running on family values which he had severally defiled; his pretentious repentance notwithstanding. Icheoku calls on Florida voters to reject Gingrich as there can be no salvation after death; nor can anyone possibly teach an old dog new tricks. Newt Gingrich is not a fit and proper candidate for the Republican Party nor would he be right for the presidency.

NEW IGP's MISSION STATEMENT.

"I am aware of the challenges of the task ahead. But I am equal to the task because I am not a stranger to these things. My administration is going to be different from all the past Police leadership administration. The need to fight crime and criminality in the country, the need to fight corruption and indiscipline in the Police is my major task. This administration is not going to be business as usual. There is going to be major reorganization in the police. Postings of policemen to any duty will be based on merit and the ability to deliver. I need the cooperation of all including the media to help us succeed. Nigeria is bigger than any individual, therefore, we must join hands to salvage our nation." That is the new Inspector General of Police Mohammed Dikko Abubakar reading the riot act of his mission statement to which Icheoku adds, AMEN and prays that the IG lives up to his well articulated words.

SO LONG LIBYAN REVOLUTION, ENTER SHARIA-SEEKING ISLAMISTS.

Moummar Gaddafi warned and warned that Al-Queida is coming to take over but a rage saturated Western world would hear none of that. Today, the Islamists al-queida are demanding a Sharia-ruled Libya, making a joke of the relative secularism that had thrived in the North African desert country. Gaddafi is long dead and buried in an unmarked grave and is now unaware of the impending Islamic take over of Libya; but it is the Libyan people and the world that would face the coming tsunami of repression in the hands of those Sharia gun-ho Islamists. What a fate to befall an unsuspecting nation, now under the threat of limbs and body-parts being hacked out for the slightest infringement of their very rigid Sharia law. But where were these fundamentalists mullahs when Gaddafi held sway in Tripoli?

MITT ROMNEY HAS NO CORE - AMERICA BRIDGE 21ST CENTURY.

"Mitt Romney has no core and he will do and say anything to get elected" so said Rodell Mollineau, president of America Bridge 21st Century. He is once again alerting America about the con man Mitt Romney who wants to be president by all means possible including lying on his records and pretending to be everything to everybody provided he gets what he wants. Icheoku says when someone wants something so badly that he could say anything including calling day night and vice versa, it is in the society's interest that such person be stopped. Such a person cannot and does not deeply mean well for the society at large and must be told thanks but no. So America, you have been warned yet again that Mitt Romney is not good for America; so reject his candidacy.

"MOMMY, THE BABYSITTER HAS BEEN DOING THAT TO ME.”

While describing Penn State's former assistant football coach Sandusky's molestation charges to her eight year old child, a mother got a rude awakening when her son told her that the babysitter she hired to take care of him has been doing the same thing to him. What a world we live in where keepers of the gate become looters of the treasure as in this case where a dog has eaten the bone that was hung on its neck? What a perv this Jordan Liu is and hopefully he will be made to pay a price for it.

KOBE BRYANT DOGGED YET AGAIN, WIFE FILES FOR DIVORCE.

Icheoku says the foolish man who paid his wife off for having sex with a White hotel maid did not have a nuptial agreement with his soon to be ex-wife; who smartly have decided to walk away with half the basket ball player's fortune? Who knows what the beef was this time or did she catch Kobe Bryant with yet another White Trash and decided enough is enough. Anyway, thanks to "irreconcilable difference" omnibus reason for marital meltdown, the world might never know what the real and true knife in their butter is. However, Icheoku asks, who keeps the $4million diamond ring with which her "love" was purchased or should Icheoku say which she mortgaged her love following Kobe's criminal prosecution for allegedly raping a White hotel worker. Icheoku says this is another sad case of a basketball wife walking away to freedom with a man's hard earned money and possibly for another man's benefit. Vanessa Bryant and Kobe Bryant are no longer an item; another testimony that marriage is a ruse as it never works.

OJUKWU, HAS LOST A SECOND AND FINAL BATTLE?

Ikemba Nnewi and DIkedioranma of Igboland, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu has again lost another battle. The first was to Nigeria federalist army as leader of Biafra and this time to death. Like all mortals, we all shall die and this shall be our consolation as we mourn the demise of a very brave and courageous man who stood between a genocidal Nigerian federal army and the threatened peoples of the former Eastern region. He was 78 years old and died of diabetes related ailment? The question really should be not that he died but what legacy did he leave behind and in response, Icheoku says Ojukwu left indelible giant footprints in the sands of time; admitted he died in a foreign hospital and in a strange land like many Nigerian high-ups. To the family of the deceased, Icheoku says take heart. To Biafrans, it is time to re-articulate and reconfigure the way forward. Adieu Ikemba.

IBB FIRES BACK AT MAKU LABARAN

In response to Nigeria's Information Minister trying to specifically scapegoat him for all the woes of Nigeria dating back to 1986, the Evil genius growled from his den in Minna hilltop. According to the toothy fairy prince of Minna, Labran Maku does not deserve a response from him as he is " too carried away with his saxophonist job to remember simple history.” Icheoku adds but why did Mr Maku choose to make 1986 his reference point and not 1960 or 1970 or 1983 or better still why did he leave 1999 to 2007 out of his focal point? Anyway anybody in Ibrahim Babangida's shoes would similarly spring up to defend his record and not permit being so uncharacteristically singled out in such manner. Icheoku does not always agree with the evil genius but in this case, cannot disagree more with the manner the minister choose to pile up on IBB.

WORDS OF WISDOM BY DANNY BUCHIS

"The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6:16 to take up the shield of faith because your enemies are many. They want to stop you. They want to molest you. They want to humiliate you. They want you to walk through life hopelessly and miserably until wretchedly defeated." - Danny Buchis. Icheoku says what a truism that must and should practically be a guide to all our relationships, mindful of the fact that not all show of teeth is affectionate and admirable laughter. Quite an interesting words of wisdom to extend your life from Danny Buchis of Abuja Nigeria.

ALEX IBRU, PUBLISHER OF NIGERIAN GUARDIAN NEWSPAPER IS DEAD.

Another Nigerian high-up, publisher and member of the Ibru family of Agbhara-Otor, Delta State Nigeria, Alexander Uruemu Ibru, is dead. Alex Ibru died of cancer and Parkinson disease related illness; he was 66. Unlike so many well heeled Nigerians and top government officials who would rather die in strange land overseas surrounded by strangers, this high chief and business magnate choose to make his transition in Nigeria, surrounded by family and friends. He could have paid to go die in any foreign hospital of his choice throughout the world, but he chose not to and for this Icheoku commends his patriotic spirit. Regrettably, death is inevitable; admitted he cheated death once when the goons of late midget dictator of Kano, Sani Abacha, bullets could not silence him. May his soul rest in peace. It must be jubilation in the camp of Mustapha as his attempted murder charges of Alex Ibru automatically discharged since one cannot attempt the murder of a deceased person.

BOKO HARAM SUICIDE BOMBERS WILL GO TO HELL - GOVERNOR ALIYU

Icheoku says what does members of Boko Haram care afterall about going to hell? They were already in hopeless hellish condition which drove them to suicide bombing in the first place. Having tasted hell first hand by proxy of their suicide bombers obliterating themselves with bombs; so what the heck is hell anyway for these die-hard hell-raisers who have already trained and prepared themselves so well for a life in hell? Talk another thing jaare, Mr Governor Aliyu Babangida. Boko Haram is hell and hell is Boko Haram; like Caesar and Fear, they are both twins, littered on the same day and by the same mother, so no hell-shaking for Boko Haram!

JONATHAN FRETS AWAY $35BILLION FOREIGN RESERVE - OBASANJO?

The Otta deity is once again out and smoking; fussing about the drunken-sailor style of squandering of the nations foreign reserve since he left office. According to Baba-Iyabo, the $35billion he left in Nigeria's foreign reserves has been spent by the succeeding administration of Yar'Adua and Jonathan. In Obasanjo's very own street style manner of speaking, he said, "When we left that money, we thought we were leaving it for the rainy day. But my brother said the rain is falling now. The fact is that when the rain eventually starts falling, we will have nothing left to cover our heads with because we have blown it off." Icheoku says but what has Nigeria got to show for the huge amount but few bloated men and women who are well connected and partaking in the sharing of the pie!

DRIVING WHILE CRAZY IN LAGOS.

2.5 million Lagos drivers have mental disorder according to recent studies conducted by the Lagos State Ministry of Health. That is an average of 14.1% of the total Lagos State population or 1 in every 5 Lagos residents - Dr. Jide Idris, Lagos State Commissioner for Health. Icheoku says you now know why the road rage and road carnage exist. In other nations, you have DWI or DUI - driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence; in Lagos Nigeria, you have DWC or DWM - driving while crazy or driving while mental !

POWER MINISTER SABOTAGING POWER SUPPLY - ITA EYANG

Icheoku says one needs the suspension of disbelief to accept the allegation that a minister charged with supplying power to Nigerians would turn around to sabotage his effort. Icheoku is usually not on the side of Nigerian government officials, but this case calls for an exception as what is alleged is highly improbable. It is akin to a dog eating the bone which was hung on its neck. Hopefully it is not the beginning of the usual Nigerians gang-up against anything and everything Igbo with Power Minister Professor Barth Nnaji, an Igboman, being their latest target. Icheoku however adds that Senator Ita Eyang should rather explore ways of legislating out the use of power generators in Nigeria as the mafia that controls the trade on generators are the ones sabotaging power supply in Nigeria and not the Power Minister.

KIM KARDASHIAN SNEAKS DIVORCE ON UNSUSPECTING HUSBAND?

Women, what would they not do; but were it a man that pulled such a fast one, feminists the world over would have screamed blue-murder heartless! So it is that celebrity Kim Kardashian just filed for divorce from her husband of 72 days Kris Humpheries, without first discussing it with him. Now the devastated heart-broken man wants to trade his arm to have Kim back, despite just finding out from the media that he is being divorced by his wife? Icheoku says that shows there was real "LOVE" in the first place; but give it up for Hollywood - the land of plastics; as yet goes another plastic marriage contrapted just for Television ratings! Or could it be that height-challenged and disadvantaged Kim got tired of standing on platforms each time she wants to kiss her soon to be ex-man, who knows; Icheoku is just asking?

SAMSON SIASIA OUSTED.

Icheoku saw it coming when we implored Nigerians not to accept his apology for failing to qualify against Guinea. Our bone with Siasia, a home-based coach, who we had supported his appointment is that he took his beef with goalkeeper Enyema rather too far. A rational man in his position should have been a sportsman by forgiving whatever sins the goalkeeper committed and played him to enable Nigeria qualify; but no, his ego came between, resulting in Nigeria's ouster from the championship. Anyway, what a good riddance.

OBAMA ON DEAD GADDAFI

"Obviously, you never like to see anybody come to the kind of end that he did, but I think it obviously sends a strong message around the world to dictators that people long to be free, and they need to respect the human rights and the universal aspirations of people." Icheoku says it is true and asks, why not extend the same Gaddafi treatment to Syria, Iran, Yemen and possibly Bahrain as what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Let it become an "Obama universal doctrine of general application" and not a selective one!

HERMAIN CAIN STILL BEATING RICK PERRY AND MITT ROMNEY IN THE POLLS?

Yes, say it ain't true, but that is the reality of now that a nigger from the deep south is beating two White establishment candidates in the run-up to the Republican Party's primaries? The latest poll finds Mister 999, flip-flopper, Herman Cain, still leading establishment candidate Mitt Romney and Texan Rick Perry in the likely voters choice for Republican presidential candidate. Icheoku says what an irreconcilable irony that a Republican Nigger is now being engineered to face-off a Democratic Nigger in the biggest political Nigger-fight of the century? The good news however is that it will not happen as the good ole Whiteboys owners of the Republican Party will not let a nigger fly their confederate presidential flag into the election 2012.

GADDAFI, EVEN HIS FRIENDS THE RUSSIANS COULD NOT SAVE HIM?

HAMID KARZAI, DOUBLE-FACED JANUS WILL FIGHT AGAINST USA?

Afraid of having his head blown off by Pakistan sponsored turban-wearing mullah/suicide bomber, the US handpicked, installed and protected but ungrateful president of Afghanistan has turned a traitor! Hamid Karzai vowed to take up arms against the United States of America, thereby biting the finger that feeds him and this latest threat by Karzai must not go unpunished. Icheoku says it is about time the United States changed their policy on Karzai from love to hate and let this mullah face his certain and assured demise in the hands of the Taliban. How dare this little man of Kabul say that he will take sides with America's enemies and Pakistan to fight against America in event of hostilities between the two countries; yet America spends her blood and purse trying to maintain this guy in power? Icheoku says now that the real America-hating Karzai has fully taken off his mask of deception, it is time he is left to his fate and marooned in the Taliban infested Afghanistan to purchase his one-way ticket to meet with his 70 virgins? The other time he threatened to take up suicide vests and join suicide-bombing Talibans to kill Americans in Afghanistan and now followed it with his second threat against the security interest of America? Something has to be done about it and fast; Hamid Karzai does not worth any American taxpayers cent being expended on his security and provision - cut the darn guy off and do it NOW Washington!

POPE BENEDICT XVI IS A NAZI - SUSAN SARANDON?

"The last one. Not this Nazi one we have now." With those words, referring to the former and present popes, actress and activist Susan Saradon said the current Catholic Pope and Bishop of Rome, Benedict XVI "is" a member of the Nazi party that fermented Jewish holocaust. Icheoku does not understand why she is being called out for her remarks since it is on record that the pope was once a registered member of the Nazi party youth wing and there are photos to vouch for it. Anyway blame political correctness for all these sensitivities.

THUNDER STRIKES, BLAME IT ON PRESIDENT OBAMA - ANITA PERRY.

Anita Perry, wife of Texas Governor Rick Perry, the man who wants to be Republican Party's presidential candidate in 2012 has blamed President Barack Obama for her son's resignation from his bank job in order to campaign for his dad? Icheoku says ridiculousness has never got this ridiculous that a voluntary act of a full grown trust-fund kid is now being blamed on the president. Anyway, little surprise that Texas is not known for producing very bright minds; so pardon the first lady wanna be for throwing up mud and hoping it will stick. In her own words, she said "My son Griffin had to resign his job at Deutsche Bank because of SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] Federal regulations that says he can't go out and campaign with his father still employed? My son lost his job because of this administration! What a shame and this is the woman that would be micro-managing her husband Rick Perry should he get into the White House? Icheoku says luckily enough the Perrys did not blame President Obama for the Texas wildfires and unseasonable drought.

UKRAINE JAILS PRIME MINISTER FOR DOING HER JOB?

Yulia Tymoshenko, the former Prime Minister of Ukraine was jailed for seven years for "negotiating a gas deal with Russia in 2009?" Icheoku says ridiculous cannot have any better definition than this judicial persecution of a political opponent in Ukraine. How can negotiating a deal which was in the national interest of a country become a punishable offense; moreso when such was not expressly excluded by constitution; or does the present authorities in Kiev wish that Ukrainians were allowed to freeze to death during the threatened Russia's oil embargo or cut-off. What an incredible abuse of the judicial process by the executive in Kiev; hopefully the higher court will throw out the kangaroo conviction unless they are equally compromised. What a shame.

NATION'S CUP OUSTER, SIASIA'S APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED!

Coach Samson Siasia was ostensibly not sensitive enough to winning the qualifying match and to Nigerians at large who cut his paycheck. Any other reasonable coach, worth his office and pay, would have thrown all he got in both manpower and technical expertise to qualify and secure Nigeria a berth in the next edition of African Nations Cup competition. But an arrogant and egotistic Siasia insisted on his suspension of the only proven able and tested hands Enyema, the safest hands Nigeria squad have at the present and now the depressing result and ouster from the competition. Icheoku says whatever the Nigeria football authority decides to do to him or his contract in ritaliation is well deserved, as only an obstinate coach would go ahead and refuse one of his best goalkeepers around in such a crucial make or mar qualifying match. Icheoku says Nigeria should therefore reject his apology as unacceptable in the circumstance.

OAKLAND RAIDERS' AL DAVIES IS DEAD.

Icheoku sympathizes with the Raider Nation on the loss of the excitable hands-on owner and fan numero uno of The Raiders, Al Davies, who passed on today Saturday October 8, 2011. Al was 82 years. Now at least the coach can have the freedom of fielding players who trained in the field of play instead of having players imposed on him by an owner who thinks because he writes the check he can also determine who got to play. May his soul now rest in peace. Hopefully there is NFL Franchise in the world beyond to keep him going; Adieu Al.

DOGS KILL DOG-CATCHER?.

It happened in Nigeria, the land under siege by Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram, where armed robbers stormed the residence of a police officer in charge of eradicating armed robbery and shot him to death. To add insult to injury, they also shot and killed his 22year old daughter, which in the words of a neighbor is "the revenge of the robbers?" According to him, "John was the officer in charge of anti-robbery. It is very possible that the hoodlums came for revenge." Icheoku queries if armed robbers could so audaciously invade the residence of a police chief and kill him in this manner, what then is the fate of the ordinary Joe-Nigerian in Nigeria who is not authorized to pack heat? Our condolence to the slain John Ibizugbe's family of 5 Martha Williams Street, Asorobi, Agbado, Lagos, Nigeria.

SHEHU LADAN, ANOTHER TOP NIGERIAN DIES IN A FOREIGN HOSPITAL?

Icheoku says another top-heavy Nigerian has shamelessly died in a foreign hospital where he ran away to thinking that would save his sorry arse? The former Group Managing Director of Nigeria National Petroleum Company, NNPC, Shehu Ladan, died of undisclosed illness at a Qatari hospital in Dubai; but from his womanly-physique he probably was suffering from renal problem and diabetes? His money was not able to purchase him health, not even in a foreign hospital from where his dead body will now be flown back to be interred in the same Nigeria he ran away from to seek medical treatment. Anyway, what a great leveler death is, otherwise some of these people who have failed to do right by and for Nigeria with all the opportunities they have had, would have even bribed death to only kill those Nigerians who could not afford foreign medical trips. Our condolences to the bereaved family.

NIGERIAN MERCENARIES KILLED, FIGHTING IN LIBYA?

Icheoku does not want to believe the story that some Nigerians were actively fighting for the deposed former Libyan strongman and that they were killed during a fire-fight. Even for the sake of argument that they were mercenaries, they ought to know that the game was up with the fall of Tripoli. Icheoku honestly think that those anti-black African Arabs executed the three Nigerians in cold blood and blamed it on the ongoing war in Libya. Ugochukwu Okafor, 33; Emeka Aloysius Mohammed, 32 and Braimoh Garba, 30 appear likely to have been stranded in Libya enroute Europe and were unfortunately caught up in the Libya revolution which have now claimed their youthful lives. Icheoku says may their striving souls now rest in peace.

NIGERIA TURNS 51, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY.

Icheoku says as motherland turns fifty one years old today, some people say there is no need celebrating as there is nothing to celebrate. Icheoku says in as much as things could be better, but there are lots that could provide reason to celebrate:- the ever restive Nigeria military have finally realized their place and are no longer toppling governments; also despite the challenges of security and all the jaw-jaw, Nigerians for most part still love themselves and want to remain one country; at least there was election or its simulation as well as so many other things including the seamless transition. Anyway, happy anniversary Nigeria.

AKHWAT AKWOP CHRISTIAN TERRORIST GROUP, COUNTERS BOKO HARAM?

Icheoku says never a time is violence or threat of it justified and it does not matter if it is by Islamic fundamentalists or christian zealots. Early crusaders are known to some as equally terrorists? Now tired of the menace which is Boko Haram, a christian group, Akhwat Akwop, has formed its own terror-squad to checkmate the Islamic Boko Haram in Nigeria. Icheoku says this is not the answer or solution and therefore calls on the supposedly christian terror group to please sheath their sword. They should remember the biblical injunction "Thou shall not kill"; and also that the Lord Jesus Christ represented and preached peace. He it is who first stated that vengeance is mine says the Lord. Two wrongs does not make a right and Icheoku calls on Akhwat Akwop to advise itself of this and not to join the madness as represented by Boko Haram, currently laying siege on country.

CBS 60 MINUTES ANDY ROONEY, FINALLY WALKS AWAY?

Icheoku says it was a thing since long overdue for CBS to spare viewers of he unsightly too old to still hold a job great grandpa on our televisions. Icheoku thought also that Andy Rooney was out to fulfill his earlier pledge to vacate his seat on a gurney; but at last reason has prevailed and the apparition will no longer haunt our televisions any more. At 92 years old, it does not matter how good any person is, just the straggling eyebrows, wrinkly skins and loose-hanging jowls makes it simply too tortuous to see on our televisions and Icheoku makes bold to add that were Andy Rooney a blackman or a woman or any other minority person in America, he would have been canned long ago. Anyway, what a riddance although somewhat too late in coming; and may the great grandpa now spend whatever is left of his natural life, enjoying his children, grand-children and great grand children. So long Rooney.

DOMINIQUE STRAUSS KAHN, SEX WITH JANITOR IS A MORAL FAILURE.

Icheoku says give it up to the French horn-dog DSK Strauss Kahn whose romp with a hotel cleaning lady Nafissatou Diallo made recent scandalous headlines of powerful men behaving badly? The French man now says he is contrite about his uncontrolled libido and that he disappointed numerous people. According to him, "it was a failing, a failing vis-a-vis my wife, my children and my friends but also a failing vis-a-vis the French people, who had vested their hopes for change in me. It was a moral failing and I am not proud of it. I regret it infinitely. I have regretted it everyday for the past four months and I think I'm not done regretting it." Icheoku asks, when is Mr Dominique Strauss Kahn going to apologize to the janitor for not paying for a blow-job rendered to him or just simply write her a check for the agreed fee and for her pain and suffering. Icheoku has always maintained that whatever took place between the two was consensual and that the maid got smart or rather mad after DSK reneged on their agreed term of rendering her knob-polishing contract. Or may be it the Frenchy-way of doing business just to receive?

EVICTED GREAT GREAT GRAND MA GETS BACK HOME.

Icheoku says what a relief that the 101 year old great great grand mother who was evicted from her home of sixty years has won a reprieve. US Department of Housing and Urban Development said Texana Hollis can move back to her home and it will pay on her behalf the past-due taxes, the reason she was evicted in the first place. Icheoku commends this good Samaritan act of HUD and affirms that it is close to a moral obligation not to evict a 101 year old great great ma from her home of past sixty years.

NO FREE LUNCH IN AMERICA, GREAT GRAND MOTHER EVICTED!

Icheoku says give it up for capitalism without soul as callous possessors evicted a 101 year old great great grandmother from her home of over sixty years in Detroit Michigan. What a world we are turning into where Tea Party supporters at a Republican Party's presidential nomination bid debate cheered to allow poor and uninsured Americans to just die and die quickly instead of wasting tax payers money on them? Anyway 101 year old Texana Hollis must be questioning her maker why He kept her alive for too long to see such a day when such a fate would befall her despite her very advanced age. Icheoku says, where are all those philanthropic Americans to the rescue of great grand Nana.

UNITED STATES OF EUROPE NEEDED - GERHARD SCHROEDER

The former Germany Chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder, made a case for a United European government that will stand and compete with other united blocs of the world. According to him, "The current crisis makes it relentlessly clear that we cannot have a common currency zone without a common fiscal, economic and social policy. We will have to give up national sovereignty. From the European Commission, we should make a government which would be supervised by the European Parliament. And that means the United States of Europe." Icheoku agrees that those Europeans should pawn up their unnecessary national pride respectively and embrace a united bloc that will really empower them to compete globally instead of this pinch-penny quasi union of Euro-zone and currency. The way forward is to either go the full hog and assimilate or dissolve whatever it is they currently have and be extension, put an end to all this pretended unity. Icheoku therefore aligns itself to the former Chancellor's position and states that a United States or Countries of Europe is a thing which time has since come.

MARRIAGE AND THE COMPANIONSHIP QUESTION?

DEPORTATION FEVER, DOUBLE WAHALLA FOR NAFISSATOU DIALLO?

Unconfirmed sources hinted that the "dirty" African accuser of white Frenchman Dominique Strauss Kahn may be shipped back to the dark continent? Anyway if it is true she lied about her sexual favors, she deserves all that she gets as her tale suggests a sexual blackmailer who wanted to use her genitalia to realize her American Dream? Soon and very soon she will be having an African Nightmare in her native Guinea instead. Never been wrongly accused, you will not understand what DSK possible went through; admitted he cheated on his dutiful wife.

BEING INCESTUOUS IS DIFFERENT FROM BEING A FOOL.

Icheoku says once again the grammar-challenged Babangida has shown that he lacks real grasp of the very issue presented in his current battle of wits with Obasanjo. Babangida's attempt to equate Obasanjo's alleged incestuous relationship with his son's wife as tantamount to being a fool falls flat because the two are not analogous. According to IBB, "being called a fool at 70, especially by a man reportedly accused by his own son of incest, is at best a compliment." Icheoku says not so Mister Evil Genius, as being a fool is never complimentary and having sexual dalliance with one's daughter in-law is at best morally wrong but definitely not foolishness. At least the Otta deity was smart enough to get some, admitted from his son's wife Mojisola; but foolish men don't even know how to go about getting any.

NASIR EL RUFIA, ANOTHER AGENT OF SHARIA AND THE IMPENDING JIHAD?

Icheoku says it is becoming increasingly obvious that the mullahs of the north are up to no good and are trying their possible best to provoke a war? First Rufai went to London and cast aspersion on the president's election, he was briefly invited for questioning when the Chief Imam himself, Buhari, threatened and demanded his immediate release. Then enter Sanusi's Islamic Banking bait and now Nasir is again accusing Obasanjo of impropriety at privatisation but failed to disclose why he did not resign from office then as a consciencious objector? All of a sudden as if from the heavens Babangida barges in through the door and slammed Obasanjo? Icheoku says President Jonathan and the rest of other Nigerians will be naive not to see the handwriting on the wall and start planning for the D-day. If it quacks like a duck and walks like one, it might as well be a duck and Icheoku says these piling on is not for nothing.

AUGUSTUS AIKHOMU, BABANGIDA'S ACCOMPLICE, IS DEAD!

Icheoku congratulates the late Admiral Augustus Aikhomu for at least dying in Nigeria; unlike his other counterparts high-up Nigeria former government officials who embark on overseas medical tourism whenever they take ill, only to eventually die in such foreign hospitals, alone and lonely. These officials could have developed medical centers of excellence in Nigeria for all to access but their wickedness and selfishness did not let them. Moreso because they could easily afford to travel abroad anytime to seek the best care available so why should they bother with fixing a decayed medical system back home.Icheoku also says anybody who could conveniently collude with Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida in the annulment of June 12 election should not be missed by Nigerians, not even in death. Therefore Aikhomu's death is not a biggie and we pray the good Lord hasten the demise of all that contributed in keeping Nigeria down and out all these years since independence. Icheoku does not belong to the school of sycophancy that blows with the wind and sings undeserving praises each time some sentimental opportunity rears its head, regardless of the person's antecedents. Our condolences however goes to the bereaved family on their loss. Aikhomu was 70 plus and died of prostrate cancer.

THE BIAFRAN GIRL, VICTIM OF YAKUBU GOWON'S INDUCED KWASHIOKOR.

Genocidal Yakubu Gowon committed war crimes during Nigeria/Biafran war by using starvation of women and children as an instrument of war. This picture of a Biafran girl, a victim of Gowon's hyper-malnutrition war tactic, is placed here as a remembrance and prayer for the dear leader of Biafra, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu. Admitted that he did not succeed, but it could have been worse if not for his intervention and for this the people of Biafra forever woes him their gratitude. Icheoku hopes that the latest 'IM' on his demise is not true and we pray and remember him for all that he sacrificed on behalf the Biafran people.

'ABIOLA WAS KILLED BY PEOPLE UP THERE'- MUSTAPHA.

“Those people who stood against Abiola are people that are high up there that cannot be brought to court. Abiola slumped with his face down on the grounds, how come all those that were there with him in the room didn’t help him?” - Major Hamza Mustapha giving evidence of the conspiracy and complicity involved in Chief MKO Abiola's death through poison with arsenic-laced tea? Icheoku says if only President Jonathan is man enough to use this case to turn into a real statesman by investigating all the fingered parties to unravel how Nigeria killed or was complicit in the killing of her president-elect Chief Moshood Kashimawo Oluwole Abiola?

WORDS OF WISDOM, NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.

Men judge by what they see rather than what they truly experienced or felt. They judge by their eyes rather than by their touch as all men can see a thing but only a few of them can come close enough to touching it. All men will see what you seem or appear to be but only a few of them will truly understand or know who you really are through an encounter. Therefore always inform your decisions against the backdrop that in the course of your life, many will misunderstand you, misjudge you and above all, wrongly judge you based on their jaundiced perception of who you are because they do not truly know you and remember, it is most always very difficult for the many to be convinced by the few.

EDWIN UMEZOKE, ANOTHER NIGERIAN HIGH-UP DIES IN A FOREIGN HOSPITAL?

Icheoku says once again another Nigeria "big man" and former speaker of House of Representative in the second republic, Chief Edwin Umezoke has died in a foreign hospital in faraway India where he went on a medical pilgrimage only to give up his ghost. Umezoke was 76 years old and died lonely in a foreign land.Shamelessly, he is one of those Nigerians who had an opportunity to make some difference including in the health care services industry but didn't just because he could afford foreign medical services? Anyway death does not know who can travel to India to die or who would only afford that quack under Niger bridge head. As Icheoku extends our sympathy to the family of the bereaved, we urge Nigerian officials to strive to bring home to Nigeria those services they seek abroad. It is a shame that this medical tourism and pilgrimage is continuing till this day in Nigeria.

BOKO HARAM IS NORTHERN NIGERIANS SPONSORED TERRORIST OUTFIT.

Icheoku says the only reason those Northern Nigerian mullahs are hurriedly asking for JTF to leave Maiduguri and for amnesty to be granted those Islamic terrorists is because they are afraid the net is closing in on them. They are sponsors of Boko Haram Islamist terrorists and are afraid of being outed, hence the rush to get the menace over with quickly before they will be implicated. How can these mullahs suddenly open their mouths calling for security operations to end when Boko Haram is still setting off bombs and killing innocent Nigerians when they have been keeping quiet as the whirl wind they sowed blows everything wide apart. Icheoku says if only President Jonathan has what it takes to get at these uncircumsized desert dwellers and have them tried and shot for treason. Who is fooling who; and who are Boko Haram if not these mullahs parading themselves as leaders of the North?

AS NEW YORK GOES GAY-HO, CAN CHILDREN BE SPARED OF THE DRAMA?

Icheoku has no beef with who anyone chooses to love or marry, including cats and dogs or in some cases Sequoia trees; but it would be a fair practice not to overtly involve innocent children in the politics of gay marriage. This little angel has nothing to do with this and is very oblivious of what is going on and Icheoku suggests that whoever custodian that planted her to play this role should reconsider next time not to use a child in this manner. Just leave them out of adults politics, period. Anyway congratulations to all the New Yorkers Born this way on their historic day of tying the nuptials.

JONATHAN IS SIMPLY TIMID, HOSTING CAMERON IN LAGOS..

Icheoku says that trip to Lagos by President Goodluck Jonathan to host British Cameron is ill advised as Abuja is Nigeria's seat of power and if Cameron cannot accommodate a trip to Abuja, his meeting with the president should have been rescheduled for another more convenient future time. It is very demeaning indeed that the president should heed the Brit's preferred location of meeting and be the one going to meet Cameron instead of the other way round. Anyway, that is what happens when one usurps an office which is not naturally his at this time and have to pander to every Tom, Dick and Harry to appear to be in control, for protection and in order to be accepted. Aso Rock is Nigeria's 10 Downing Street and not State House Marina Lagos.

ALADE ABANIWONDA, A FRUSTRATED NIGERIAN POLITICIAN COMMITS SUICIDE?

Icheoku says, but why didn't someone tell this man that politics is a game of gain and lose; and that it is for gamblers and gamblers do not commit suicide just because they lost as there will always be a next time? Anyway, it is possible that it is the loans he owes the banks, with which he financed his both failed senatorial and ministerial ambitions, that actually pushed him over the ledge; except of course it is the African magic remote control that was used by his "enemies" to hypnotized him into taking his own life. Icheoku says it is cowardice for anyone to take one's own life and Al-Mustaim Alade Abaniwonda does not deserve anyone's sympathy. To the family however, our condolences.

SEAN HOARE, WHEN WHISTLE BLOWING COULD COST LIFE IN LONDON?

Icheoku hitherto thought that it was exclusive Russia's Kremlin to order hit on "enemies of the mother Russia"; but now it would appear that if that enemy is against a corporation, the same Russian treatment could be mete out to such loud-mouth? Just speculating as the British Police have so far not ruled anything in or out of the sudden death of the man who blew the lid off FoxNews owner Rupert Murdock's British company phone tapping scandal. Sean Hoare a former staffer was found dead in his home and icheoku joins millions of others in saying the coincidence at this time of bright searchlight being beamed on Mr Murdock's business practices in the UK is rather too surreal. So watch your backs, you rattle snakes out there waiting to pull the rug off the feet of your employers.

ATIKU ABUBAKAR, NOW MISTER "I HAVE BEEN VINDICATED?"

First he said that Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla vindicated him on Nigeria's unhinged recurrent expenditure which gulps 75 percent of the revenue leaving little or nothing for investment on job creating ventures. Now he claims that Mallam El Rufai has also vindicated him on the "sell-off of Nigeria's assets going on under President Jonathan?" Icheoku calls on Nigerians to recall that Atiku himself did his fair share of privatization of Nigeria's assets while supervising same as Nigeria's vice president; so you now know who is pointing fingers!

GLENN BECK CHASED OUT OF NEW YORK, LANDS IN TEXAS!

Icheoku says now the racist white pig has finally rendezvous with his natural habitat where he can finally become fully initiated into the Ku Klux Klan. A poisonous and misleading talking-head who brought more odium and ridicule to FoxNews than credit. Anyway having been declared persona non grata in NYC, Texas provides a good dump for such bigoted piece of humanity and together with Governor Perry, they can now secede to their warped independent Aryan country of their ilks - those few stupid white people who think only them deserves a life. They can then exists as they deem fit but leave the rest of other decent humanity alone here in the United States of America. Good riddance of a bad rubbish both by the suddenly seemingly repentant FoxNews and the big apple, NYC.

YOUR MARRIAGE NOT WORKING, BE BOLD ENOUGH TO WALK AWAY..

"Be bold enough to end any relationship or marriage that is not working before it turns into a disaster" - Kolade Arowolo, accused wife killer. Icheoku says, regrettably, the accused did not or rather failed to heed his own advise and now stands accused in the murder of his wife Titilayo Arowolo. Call it a Monday night quarterbacking and if only hind-sight comes to the rescue; but that is a time-tested and time-honored solution that always worked - just be courageous to end it. Admitted it sometimes initially hurts but pains do go away and does not last forever.

MARIA CANNOT FORGIVE AND FORGET ARNOLD, FILES FOR DIVORCE.

From the Terminator that is. A man who terminated his own marriage by knocking up their house maid and fathering a child out of wedlock by her. This was simply too unbearable for the Kennedy niece; a matter made more painful because Arnold had the sexual dalliance with the house maid on Maria's matrimonial bed? Icheoku asks, but what happened to the Christian virtue of forgiveness, believing Maria Shriver-Kennedy Schwarzenegger is a Christian or is it the usual case of anyone remaining an angel provided no one ruffles their feathers? Anyway what is done is done; and walking out of a marriage cannot put the genie back into the bottle nor will it stop the Terminator from scoring chics; but Maria knows best. But does any marriage really work other than the facade most people put up just to get by in the society that is too judgmental.

APENA, JEGEDE'S WIFE IS DEAD!

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.

CHIEF IMAM OF CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA, SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI

Now Nigerians know why a man whose educational training and specialization is Sharia was imposed on the Central Bank of Nigeria. Mallam or rather Imam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi studied Islamic Sharia implementation in Nigeria at a Sudanese Islamic University and less than a decade in the banking industry, he was severally elevated until his latest schtick at the CBN. His first order of business, to rewound all the progresses of the last ten years preparatory to implementing his Sharia Islamic Banking in a supposedly secular Nigeria. Icheoku is at a loss on the silence of President Jonathan as this Imam at the CBN forcibly imposes his warped ideological Islamic banking on Nigeria. The president should be man enough to fire this bank chief or better still take a strong position on this Islamic banking - if they do not like it, too bad.

IS THIS BLASPHEMY OR WHAT?

Icheoku wonders whether this pro-gay activist has gone off the reservation and strayed a little too far in his interpretation of the biblical teaching about Jesus Christ? Admitted that Jesus Christ figuratively had two fathers - God the father and Joseph the husband of Mary but to juxtapose same with the current effort for gays to marry is simply going too far. Icheoku supports anyone's right to marry anything including his dog, cat or even ferret and does not know society's interest in preventing anyone from experiencing torture masquerading as marriage. Let them lose their freedom just like other members of the society.

MITT ROMNEY GOES ROGUE ON REPUBLICANISM, WEAK ON SECURITY?

The RomneyCare former governor of Massachusetts and Republican Party's presidential nominee wanna-be lacks strong defense foreign policy credentials. He said Americas troops should not be used to help liberate peoples of the world and he forgot their primary objective. Icheoku says if this is all the Republican Party could offer; then get Icheoku our President Obama second inauguration T-shirt right now as we are ready to adorn it right away! What a huge joke or should we borrow Karl Rove's Donald Trump acronym "Joke Candidate!" who does not understand the fundamental tents of the Republican Party - strong defense!

AHMAN AL ZAWAHIRI, AL-QUEIDA'S NEW CEO?

Good enough the board of directors of the terrorist organisation, Al-Queida Inc., has appointed or promoted a well known face, the former number two to Osama Bin Laden, Alman Al Zawahiri as its new Chief Executive Officer and thereby stamping the bullseye on his back. The hunters of terrorists will not be encumbered trying to figure out who they are looking for; so America Navy Seal Team Six should be ready to mount another daring operation to take out this terror-chief any time from now. Icheoku believes that his hunt will not be as prolonged as the dead Bin Laden's and it is only a matter of time before a US made gun will be trailed on his chest or forehead which ever enters the cross-hairs first. What a sorry SOB this Egyptian doctor now terrorist chief is and Icheoku prays he joins Bin Laden, sleeping with the fishes, very soon and incapable of meeting with his 70 virgins!

BULGING CONGRESSMAN WEINER TEARS UP, IT SHOULD HAVE COME EARLIER!

Before hitting the send key! Icheoku says give it up to randy politicians and their ever-ready tears of a clown which freely flows each time they are caught pants down in the act. From the "I did not sleep with that woman, Monica Lewinsky" to Client 9 to Ensign etc, the play-act is always the same, first deny it and then blame the devil for making him do it with a fake tear. Anyway, Icheoku is not sitting on judgment over an overaged Fraternity guy displaying his endowment, but he should have been man enough to own up initially and not this belated with tears of supposed remorse!

ANYIM PIUS ANYIM, THE NEW SGF

Icheoku says provided he will concentrate his effort at Abuja in helping President Jonathan to succeed and not use his newly found power to lord it over the people to Ebonyi State. This is usually the bane of Igbo politicians who cannot get along with one another and try to run each other out of town as they become absolutely intoxicated by power. Icheoku hopes the Nwodo-Chime turf war in Enugu will not replicate itself in Abakiliki between the new SGF and Governor Martin Elechi. Icheoku says, just remain 'part of the team of champions that are being putting in place to drive the transformation agenda' and it shall be well with you. On this understanding, our congratulations to the new Secretary of the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim!

GEORGE TRON'S RAPE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE FRENCH MEN?

When the world is yet to grapple the sexual assault of Dominique Strauss-Kahn on a hotel janitor, here comes another French man and until recently, a minister in the French government of Monsieur Sarkozy, George Tron, being accused of rape by two French women? Icheoku says it must be in the French cheese and wine that such testateron that makes these French men too horny to beg that they just forcibly take it. Anyway give t up to the French in matters of the heart; but this violence on women is another terrifying dimension!

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S RITES OF PASSAGE, NOW HE IS PRESIDENT O'BAMA!

Icheoku says the Irish have 'stolen' President Barack Obama from the Kenyans as the president went home to Moneygall Ireland to take his rites of passage into becoming a full Irish man? At a town's pub, the president was offered the dark bitter brew which formally made him an Irish man. Icheoku asks, what are the Kenyans waiting for or don't they have some potion of their own to offer the president in their battle with the Irish as to who truly claims ownership of the president. Ladies and gentlemen, success has a lot of company indeed as one person is now being fought over by three continents!

OBAMA THREW ISRAEL UNDER THE BUS - MITT ROMNEY.

Icheoku asks is this always-ran GOP presidential nominee ever decisive or just floats like a plastic bag on matters of policy by pitching against whatever the other side is saying? The same man who signed into law, a health care for all in Massachusetts while a governor not too long ago, is now denying that there exist any benefit and advantage with healthcare for all; just because President Obama ko-towed his example? Still wondering why America does not trust Mitt Romney as he is too full of it; now he is acting more catholic than the pope with the Middle East crisis attacking a well considered reasonable and only meaningful state policy just announced by the president? Meanwhile he has not proffered any alternative solution to the festering Israeli-Palestine question on how best to resolve it except to maintain the stalemet and kicking the can down the road. Icheoku asks but for how long shall Israel be lied to or made to believe that any other solution exist? Oh Romney!

IMF CHIEF DOMINIQUE STRAUSS-KAHN, A PERVERT!

Icheoku says this Frenchman forgot that he was in America and also failed to take lessons from Bill Clinton's experience when he solicited a "Monica Lewinsky" from a maid in Manhattan! Dominique Strauss-Kahn was too cheap to call Elliot Spitzer for a lead to client number 9 service provider as he would rather spend his money on hotel suites than give it to a whore. Now he is keeping company with the law since America is not France or some other third world or Africa country where his influence would have been enough to give him a pass. Hopefully he will in addition to being convicted and sent away, be sued for civil damages which will be enough to free the maid from such future aggressive misbehavior of other high and powerful hotel guests; provided of course she is not intimidated into silence by the hotel or some private detectives hired by the defense lawyers to dig into her past including whether she is living in the country illegally. Anyway what a peek into the arrogant life of the rich and powerful who think the world and its underlings are theirs to dominate. What a poor horny-dog French man, this Dominique is!

PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN, CAN IGBOS CONTINUE TO TRUST THIS MAN?

Or is it about time they took their red cap and go their own way? DSP Alamesigha trusted him and he lost the governorship of Bayelsa? Umaru Yar'Adua trusted him and he lost the presidency; now the Igbos trusted him and they have lost the Speakership of the House of Representatives and by extension, a seat at the table of power. Icheoku says it is in their DNA as there appears to be still no love lost between the Niger Delta minorities and their supposed big brother in the Southeast. Anyway what can Icheoku tell you except that the Southeast Igbos appears to have been 419ed by this man!

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL RACE 2012, HUCKABEE CHICKENS OUT!

Icheoku says Mike Huckabee correctly read the handwriting on the wall that there is no way in hell Republicans can beat President Barack Obama in 2012 and that he personally does not stand any chance of being nominated as the Republican flag bearer, hence his decision to take the easy way out. Icheoku says this former Arkansas governor is a smart alec and knows when not to fight an already assured lost battle. So with Mikey now out of the way, that is one person less the several presidential wanna-bes including Donald Trump, who want to change their address to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Way to go Mikey and it does not matter if your heart or head or pocket said the NO.

HORRIFIC AND INCREDIBLE, AS MOM FRIES BABY IN A MICROWAVE OVEN!

Once again those who said that looks could be deceptive have been proved right as this rather attractive woman turned out to be a devil incarnate herself. Her name is China Arnold and she was recently convicted of aggravated murder in the death of her daughter, 28-day-old Paris Talley in August 2005; whom she fried alive in a microwave oven reaching 108 degrees. Icheoku says before you make that leap of fate on a supposedly found love interest, pause and ponder; as anyone would have so easily taken this monster home thinking he has found a future life partner. Now you know why her boyfriend made a dash for his dear life as any woman who is capable of roasting her own child, whom she carried in her womb for nine long months, in a microwave oven is capable of causing other grievous bodily harm to any other including the slicing off of the genitilias. Oh daughters of Eve, why do you stomach such anger under your belly?

BUHARI'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY CAUSED THE VIOLENCE - JEGA!

AYMAN AL-ZAWAHIRI NEXT IN THE LINE OF FIRE, A DEAD MAN WALKING!

Icheoku says it is only a matter of time before Al-Querida number two terrorist-in-chief, Ayman Muhammad Rabaie al-Zawahiri is delivered justice. The fugitive can hide as the coward he is but the long reach of the United States intelligence assets will find him and the special forces will nail him. Good enough number one is now gone so that makes it easy to concentrate assets on locating and dispatching number two. What a fumbling maggot this animal is that touched the tail of the tiger and having murdered sleep, can sleep no more until he assumes room temperature preparatory to his sleeping with the fishes! The good thing is that he will be easily recognizable and will require no DNA or facial recognition or any kind; just look at that forehead mark!

MARK TONER, STATE DEPARTMENT DESERVES BETTER?

Icheoku is just wondering whether Mark Toner is the best the States Department could find as their spokesman? His elucidation and clarity of statements is not the best there is or ever was; and he is somewhat shy or lacks confidence that eye contact usually is an issue. To some extent Mark Toner shares some uncanny 'mouth/facial' resemblance to United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Dr Susan Rice that were they of the same race, Icheoku would have concluded they were related. Anyway, Icheoku says the State Department could use a better spokesperson to more succinctly get the message out and across; as the current one, Mark Toner falls awfully too short.

SECRETS TO CREATING JOBS IN NIGERIA.

Icheoku says to President Goodluck Jonathan and the governors looking to create jobs in Nigeria to just look at what works overseas and try replicating same in Nigeria. That way the millions of unemployed and under-employed, ready to work manpower, will be find something to do and with it comes added revenue for the government via taxation. Any consultant worth his'her paycheck, hired by the government to push job creation agenda forward, will find so many untapped and under-resourced jobs waiting to be easily added to the Nigerian economy. These jobs do not necessarily have to be Iphone and Ipad inventing type of jobs; but a job that pays its workers some decent wages and benefits.

ACF CONGRATULATES JONATHAN, NOW BUHARI IS RUNNING ON EMPTY?

First it was Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, followed by Atiku Abubakar and now Arewa Consultative Forum thumping Muhammadu Buhari's delusional assertion of election victory? The three entities, powerhouse and champions of the Northern agenda-driven zoning, having now congratulated President Jonathan on his victory, have by necessary implication, deflated Buhari's "victory" balloon. Icheoku asks, who is then left to serve as witnesses to Buhari's fantasy claim to the last presidential election victory?

NO SHRINE FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN, DEMOLISH HIS DEATH HOME NOW!

Icheoku calls on the Pakistani authorities to bulldoze the home where Osama Bin Laden lived and met his final waterloo in Abottabad. That way his heinous legend will be wiped away without anything physical to continuously remind the world of him. If the structure is not demolished, his fanatical followers might find it a Mecca of some sort, where they will go to pay homage to their hero, the villain of the world. Remember his blood was spilled there, so he is still there in some form; so leaving the building standing could defeat the essence of his watery interment as it could still be converted into a shrine in his honor. If the Pakistanis will not do it themselves, may be America should or make them do it at the pain of paying dearly for harboring the world's most notorious fugitive. Icheoku says, demolish that building now and completely erase his memory - a building where Bin Laden hid in plain sight and with the 'support' of the Pakistani authorities for more than five long years while America was led on a wild goose chase of him through the rugged terrains of Afghanistan and where he shed his blood should not be left standing!

KILLING OF BIN LADEN, A SWEET REVENGE!

SULTAN JOINS ISSUES WITH ORITSEJAFOR, FAILS TO CONDEMN BUHARI?

The Sultan of Sokoto Caliphate and head of Muslims in Nigeria, Mohamed Sa'ad Abubakar has taken side in the post election mayhem which engulfed Northern Nigeria. It is apparent that the mullah saw nothing wrong in what Buhari said that ultimately triggered the riots and denied it was religious? Icheoku says this Sultan is being economical with the truth in insisting that the riot was not Islamic religion tinged; otherwise why was it not nationally spread but localized in Sharia Islamic Northern Nigeria? Also if this Sultan is dispassionate and have no dog in the fight, why was he not courageous enough to call out Buhari on his statement, encouraging and instigating his followers to lynch people who disagrees with his Islamic agenda in Nigeria? Anyway, the wax which the British colonial masters used to band-aid the humpty-dumpty called Nigeria is gradually melting away by the actions of these Muhmammadu Buhari led street urchins and pretty soon, the rest of Nigerians will make their minds up on the way forward; but these incessant slaughter of defenseless Nigerians in their country cannot go on unabated whether or not the Sultan and his acolytes likes it.

JUST WONDERING, IF IBORI WHY NOT ATIKU?

Icheoku says if the former governor of Delta State James Onanefe Ibori could be extradited to London for money laundering related charges, why not extend the same treatment to Atiku Abubakar, who is allegedly wanted in the United States for similar offenses? Just thinking out aloud or have the US Department of Justice not requested for Atiku to be handed over to face his alleged criminal charges yet; afterall his point-man Representative William Jefferson of Louisiana is since cooling off in prison for his role in the Atiku reef. So Icheoku asks, when will Abubakar Atiku go to the United States or be shipped off there?

OHAKIM THROWS IGBO AGENDA UNDER THE BUS, SAYS BUHARI CAN BE PRESIDENT IN 2015?

Icheoku calls out Governor Ikedi Ohakim of Imo State for siding with the enemy - the governor said Buhari can be president of Nigeria in 2015. The governor has by this put on ice the chances of the Igbo nation realizing their 2015 agenda of producing a president of Nigeria of Igbo extraction. Icheoku condemns this statement by Governor Ikedi Ohakim, except it was a miscommunication or the purport was lost in translation. Icheoku affirms that the Igbo agenda 2015 is still on course and full stream, irrespective of the the fact of President Jonathan's electoral victory 2011 and whether or not Ikedi Ohakim likes it.

What a foot in the mouth!

BIRTHER IS A BRIDGE TOO FAR - ARIZONA GOVERNOR BREWER.

BUHARI IS A NOOSE ON NIGERIA, SO DO NOT HELP PLACE IT.

"The grounds on which Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters, records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Canvassing for Buhari's presidency based on his supposed records is one of the most depressing argument that I ever encountered from people trying to place a political noose around the country’s neck with a Buhari's presidency." - Professor Wole Soyinka. Icheoku says the Nobel Laurette was right then and is again right now; just don't do it. SAY NO TO BUHARI.

ACN/CPC ALLAINCE COLLAPSE, AN ACT OF GOD.

Icheoku says don't blame the refusal of Pastor Tunde Bakare to sign away the vice presidency to Bola Tinubu as the reason for the collapse of the purported alliance. No, it was simply an act of God intervening for President Goodluck Jonathan which hardened the heart of Tunde Bakare like Pharaoh Herod. May be Godwin Daboh was afterall right that any weapon fashioned against President Jonathan shall fail; and so it is that the mother of all alliances between ACN and CPC against Jonathan has now also failed. IBB was first to go, followed by Atiku and now Buhari is on a cliff-hanger!

NATO DOES NOT OWE LIBYAN REBELS A THING, HAS ALREADY DONE ENOUGH!

Icheoku says Benghazi General Abdul Fattah Younis and his rag-tag so called rebels should stop behaving as if anybody sent them to take up arms against their country's government. These rebels have been complaining that NATO is not doing enough and they failed to say when it was that they employed NATO to do their dirty job for them? NATO promised to stop a possible Benghazi massacre and that they did, but for this rebellious soldier and his group to now become cry-babies each time Gaddafi's forces responds to their provocation, accusing NATO of not doing enough makes Icheoku sick. They want power, they should go and get it and not wait in the lurch for NATO to do all the heavy lifting for them to now come and enjoy; after which they will start burning flags and effigies of Western countries and their leaders. Icheoku says NATO has done enough and should withdraw except Younis and his Libyan rebels undersigns to pay for the effort, period.

MUHAMMADU BUHARI, A MURDERER?

Icheoku says we are all Bartholomew Owoh, Lawal Ojuolape and Bernard Ogedengbe at this moment their killer wants to be elected president of Nigeria. Innocent Nigerians murdered in cold blood by then coup plotting head of state and now CPC Presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari and we demand justice. We are not mad that drug-dealing was made a death penalty offense by Muhammadu Buhari but that we peddled drugs when it was not so punishable, yet this tyrant promulgated Decree 20 of 1984 and retroactively subsumed our offense under the decree and killed us. Nigerians you are now our only voice left in the land of the living, so please help us register our displeasure at this unconscionable murders by not voting for BUHARI.

MUHAMMADU BUHARI, THE TROUBLE WITH NIGERIA!

Icheoku says Nigeria's parlous state today could be traced to Muhammadu Buhari, who in 1983, violently aborted Nigeria's second republic democracy. Icheoku said violently because one of the coup plotters Major General Bako, who was sent to Aso Rock to arrest President Shehu Shagari was shot to death by Brigade of Guards in Aso Rock. Since December 31st 1983 when Muhammadu Buhari's junta struck, Nigeria has never known peace or progress as it was repeatedly bastardized by a retinue of army men led by Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha and Abdulsalam Abubakar. Their tenure brought the nightmare Nigeria is yet to fully awake from in order to chart a new direction. Icheoku therefore affirms that Buhari is the change that Nigerians need and desire to make; so his slogan is right that says Buhari4Change. Nigerians should therefore change Buhari by rejecting Buhari and his curse of military intervention that put Nigeria several decades behind. BUHARI4CHANGE, CHANGE BUHARI; DO NOT VOTE FOR AN ANTI-DEMOCRACY DESPOT, BUHARI.

BUHARI FOR CHANGE, YOU'RE RIGHT.

Icheoku pleads with Nigerians not to buy into the hogwash that Buhari is for change as Buhari is the reason why Nigerians what to change. Nigerians want to change from military dictatorship or any semblance of it. Buhari overthrew Alhaji Shehu Shagari democratically elected government in December 31, 1983 and heralded the successive Babangida, Abacha and Abdulsalam military regimes. Buhari is therefore a military man and will run an exclusive government instead of the all inclusive government democracy entails. Buhari has blood of innocent Nigerians in his hand. Buhari is corrupt otherwise where did he get the money for a presidential campaign run? Buhari is anti freedom of the press and the people, remember Decree 4 that sent Nduka Irabor and Thompson Maduka to prison. Nigerians do not suffer amnesia as you go to the polls to elect the next president. Just remember the hands dealt you by Obasanjo and reject another military dictator from ever coming back to power. REJECT BUHARI, DO NOT VOTE FOR BUHARI

DAVID SCHUBERT, A HOLIER THAN THOU DISTRICT ATTORNEY?

JAPAN IMPENDING NUCLEAR MELTDOWN, A CASE OF FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER?

Icheoku queries whether the world has created a Frankenstein Monster with nuclear energy without devising a safe-mode of handling it? The impending nuclear apocalypse in Fukushima Dai-ichi is proving one such monster that even the scientists who brought it about do not seem to know how to contain the increasing temperature therein, leading to a possible meltdown. Does Chernobyl and Mile three Island ring any bell? It is a pity the triple tragedy Japan has been hit with at the same time - an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, a treacherous tsunami and now a nuclear meltdown in the offing. Icheoku prays God Almighty to please forgive the Japanese whatever sin they may have committed to warrant these rage. One natural disaster is more than enough but two plus a scientific one is just too many. Please help Japan at this hour of great need, donate today through the Red Cross. Their need is dire and every dime counts. Icheoku has donated and encourage you to donate today!

JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE GOOD FOR GADDAFI, GIVES HIM A BREAK!

A popular aphorism goes that one man's meat is another man's poison and so, the tragedy which befell Japan may ironically turn into a cause-celebre for Moummar Gaddafi's government. At least it has for the moment taken the searchlight off the Libyan strongman and he could use this opportunity of great distraction to take his country back from those "medicated al-Querida sponsored invaders" who are fermenting trouble in his land. Anyway with so much on the plate of the world especially America coupled to the reluctance of Russia, China and Italy to follow through with punishing or removing Gaddafi, Icheoku says that Director of National Intelligence may be right that Moummar Gaddafi may afterall survival the putsch to take him out. France recognition of the rebels notwithstanding, since France is not a major world player, Gaddafi seems more confident than ever of a successful reclaim of his Libya from those "few dissenters and trouble-makers?" Icheoku like the rest of the world is waiting and watching to see how the Libyan revolution turned civil war is finally concluded..

FRENCH PRESIDENT GOES ON TRIAL!

Former French President Jacques Chirac has been charged with embezzlement, breach of trust and conflict of interest, based on allegations linked to his tenure as Paris Mayor long before he began his presidency. The former president was alleged to have corruptly paid his cronies for jobs which did not exist and for which they claimed to have worked - akin to Nigeria's ghost workers; except that in this case the ghost workers were visible and the jobs were the real ghosts - call it ghost jobs!

BUHARI ADVOCATES MAYHEM, SIMPLY TOO EXTREME FOR NIGERIA.

A man notorious for his disregard of the rule of law, CPC presidential candidate Imam Muhammadu Buhari has asked his supporters to take the law into their hands and lynch anybody who tries to tinker with their votes!" Icheoku says this is the man who wants to rule Nigeria, advocating mayhem and extra-judicial murder in the same way he murdered three innocent Nigerians Bartholomeow Owo, Ojulope and Ogendegbe with a retroactive decree. Simply put, Buhari is just too extreme for Nigeria and should be rejected. Nigerians say no to Buhari!

CHARLIE SHEEN'S CRY FOR HELP, STRONG INTERVENTION NEEDED.

Icheoku says Brittany Spears was once going off the cliff in the same manner as the crazed-out "Two and half men" star but was saved by the intervention of the courts and his father. This is what is required now in order to pull the cliff-hanger, Charlie Sheen, back on his footing. His drug abuse, weirdness and such other outrageous behavior is simply a cry for help as there is something going on with his internals more than the eyes can see that needs urgent help. Icheoku says the remedy is simple, just get Charlie Sheen the desired help he desperately needs. If Brittany Spears could be saved, so could Charlie Sheen.

MICHAEL HUCKABEE'S BIRTHER COMMENT, NOT A MISSPOKE!

Icheoku says what Michael Huckabee said concerning the growing up of President Barack Obama in Kenya was not a misspoke as his minders have tried to claim. What he said is in furtherance of the birthers claim that President Obama is not an American and Huckabee only reiterated that while putting into words what his dark-mind agrees with. According to the once over-weight mediocre Republican Party's presidential candidate, speaking of President Obama, "I would love to know more, but what I know is troubling enough. And one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example's very different than the average American." Icheoku fires back that Michael Huckabee is deliberately raising again the rested issue of President Obama's birthplace and even the Indonesia where the president spent some of his childhood, he was not there long enough for his formative years. It is another untruthful Michael Huckabee throwing the proverbial redmeat. The good news however is that he does not stand a chance at winning the Republican Party's nomination in 2012.

MAXIMILLIAN EZIMORA, ANOTHER NIGERIAN MAN IN AMERICA SHOOTS HIS NURSE-WIFE.

It is pitiable that such wife shooting is still going on among Nigerian men living in America. One would expect that by this time these lowlifers would have learnt their lesson that these nurses are better left alone and if America becomes too excruciating there is a place called Nigeria to run back to. But unfortunately Maximillian Ezimora is an incompetent shooter as his five close range shots failed to nail his target - the victim-wife survived. Wife shooter Ezimora, residing in Atlanta Georgia has been arrested and detained at Fulton County Georgia for attempted murder of his wife, Uchenna Ezimora RN, and will be charged to court shortly. Mr Ezimora is a native of Adazi, Anambra State, South Eastern Nigeria and manages the family’s grocery store, Maxing Groceries, 337 Fletcher Street SW Atlanta. Icheoku says another pitiful Nigerian man who could not take care of business and decided to rob his wife of her registered nurse overtime money. Hopefully the wife will survive her injuries.

"IBB IS LIKE A FATHER TO ME" - PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN

Icheoku says President Jonathan's choice just got weirder; what a sour taste he has left in the mouths of many of his admirers and millions of Nigerians alike by wishing that an evil-genius was his father? Anyway Olusegun Obasanjo must be green with envy at this disclosure by his adopted political son that he is not good enough to be Jonathan's father and that Jonathan prefers IBB, his rival for a father? Icheoku says this President Jonathan must have the diarrhea of the mouth and seem not to weigh his utterances much; otherwise why remind Nigerians at this critical stage of his campaign that IBB is his father? Like father like son, so Jonathan cannot be trusted?

ICHEOKU CONGRATULATES CHICAGO MAYOR-ELECT RAHM EMANUEL.

The Mr. Fix-It of the Democratic Party, former President Bill Clinton's White House staffer, former Congressman and former President Barack Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, has won the Chicago mayoral race. Rahm convincingly won the election with almost a land-slide 58% of the votes. Icheoku like every other pundit knew his victory was a fait accompli; hence the fight against the attempt to disqualify his candidacy on grounds of residency. Anyway, congratulations Mayor Rahm Emanuel and may the lights of Chicago continue to shine and never go dim under your leadership.

WISCONSIN PROTEST, ICHEOKU HAS NO SYMPATHY.

Like the popular saying goes, you get what you pay for; and so it is that many of those protesting Union members in Madison never cared or did not work hard enough during the last election to prevent and preempt what is going on now. Their inaction led to the coming to power of a man who is indifferent to their cause; and suddenly they are protesting. Icheoku says, it is too little too late as their protest would have been more effective earlier on, by stopping the election of a Republican governor who does not get the back of the little guys.

MOHAMED SANI ABACHA, SON OF A DICTATOR REWARDED WITH A GOVERNORSHIP TICKET?

Icheoku says when Nigerians think they have seen and heard the last of the maverick Imam Muhammadu Buhari, he has again thrown one of his inexplicable balls. He decided to rehabilitate a dictator's family by allowing the son to fly his party's governorship ticket in Kano State. Mohamed Sani Abacha, son of Nigeria's most hated despot, the bespectacled midget dictator from Kano State, Sani Abacha, secured the Congress for Progressive Change ticket. Icheoku says what a bad way to remind Nigerians the pain they went through under Sani Abacha; except that Buhari never saw anything wrong with the viciousness of that late dictator!

PACKERS IS IT, CHAMPIONS SUPER-BOWL XLV

WITH ISRAEL, IT IS CATCH-22 FOR ALL ARAB COUNTRIES?

Love them or hate them, you are screwed if you are an Arab country. Saddam Hussein's Iraq hated them so much and for most part, he was hung like a dog in Baghdad. Now Egypt's Hosni Mubarak is being hounded out of power by his own people for his dalliance with the Israelis? Icheoku says it would appear that for any Arab country there is no good alternative as it concerns Israel; but we believe that this problem could be solved with a peace deal with the Arabs beginning with Palestine! So is anyone in Tel Aviv listening?

JULIANI CARDENAS, DROWNED BY HIS FATHER OVER QUARREL WITH MOTHER?

Icheoku says may the soul of the innocent 4 year old angel now rest in peace. Whatever quarrel that may have led to a raging father drowning this lovely bear in a filthy irrigation canal in Paterson California USA is mind-boggling indeed. Parents can you please stop using your children as a weapon in your fight with one another as they did not ask you guys to marry nor to bring them to this world only to end their life in such horrible manner by a dad from hell. May his little soul rest in peace!

ICHEOKU SAYS, WE ARE ALL EGYPTIANS AND WE WANT MUBARAK GONE!

TRADING PLACES:- THE SARAKI SIBLINGS EXCHANGE OFFICES?

In Kwara(Saraki) State of Nigeria, a brother and eight year termed out governor of the state and his sister also eight years termed out senator of the state have traded places. The brother will now switch sides and become a senator while the sister will do the same and become a governor each taking over the other's vacating office. Such things are possible in banana republics like Nigeria and in a state which has been hijacked by the Saraki family; and for them it does not matter what millions of other Kwara State indigenes think about it. Icheoku says it would appear that their father and patriarch of the family, Olusola Saraki, has already paid the purchase price for the state and will soon formally change its name from Kwara State to Saraki State! What an absurdity?

GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE AND SIX OTHERS MURDERED IN NIGERIA!

Icheoku says it is about time President Goodluck Jonathan apologizes to Nigerians and the former IGP Ogbonna Onovo who he fired because of insecurity in the country, for the continuing and exacerbating insecurity in the land. The president fired IGP Onovo and hired his man Hafz Ringim to stem the incessant loss of lives in the hands of hoodlums in Nigeria; but not only did it not abate, it has multiplied ten-folds. Icheoku says the president has failed in the joker of Ringim and should apologize to Onovo for preempting his effort at tackling the insecurity in the country as his replacement is not up to the task and should consider possibly reinstating him to the office. A governorship candidate Fanami Gubio and a brother to a sitting governor with four others wasted in this brazen manner in public view during the day is the height of insecurity in any given society. It is very unfortunate indeed!

"THIS IS OUR GENERATION'S SPUTNIK MOMENT" - PRESIDENT OBAMA.

JACK LALANNE, MISTER FITNESS, DEAD AT 96.

DARRELL ISSA, NOT FIT TO PRESIDE OVER HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE?

Icheoku says with his antecedents of criminal behavior considered, Republican Darrell Issa of California 49th congressional district may not afterall be the fit and proper person to be chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee. A person with questionable past including arrests for weapons possessions, suspicions of arson and insurance scam, accusations of intimidation with a gun and who was involved with stealing cars and such other crimes is not a good example for the society to have been made a committee chairman; especially that of Oversight. But hey, Republicans have a peculiar way of always rehabilitating their owns.

RUSSIA OUT, CHINA IN AS AMERICA REDEFINES PARTNER NUMERO UNO?

The President of 1.6billion Chinese people, Hu Jintao was feted at the White House by America's President Barack Obama and his government. It was sumptuous as it was stately and Icheoku believes Kremlin will be gleeing in envy of having lost the number 2 position in the world, relegated to now third or possibly fourth or even fifth depending on how one views Britain, France and Germany's relationship with America. Anyway with their economic muscle and the needs of their 1.6 billion people as a bargaining tool, it is easy to see why China is now the it. Welcome to America Hu; as the civil rights of Tibetans, Falun Gong and over 1 billion human-beings of Chinese stork can wait while the way out of the economic malaise is given some stately attention. The way of the world?

PIERCE MORGAN IS NO LARRY KING.

If CNN's intention is to find a replacement for the suspenders-man, then they bombed as this Brit ain't no Larry King as he is too drab to light the sparks. Anyway it is his second day on the job and Icheoku is tuned in and will be watching to see if it was a case of a beginner's initial cold-feet in a new media-land. Icheoku hopes too that he will get serious with real personalities doing serious interviews and not these soft-ball girlie chit-chatting witnessed this past two days. Goodluck Morgan with your new gig, but get serious!

NWODO FORCED TO EAT THE HUMBLED PIE, KICKED OUT OF OFFICE.

From his position of obstinate insistence of all or nothing at all in Enugu State PDP, the greedy chairman of the PDP Okwy Nwodo has been kicked out of office and will possibly face trial for some misdemeanor. The buffoon mistook his newly found power as impetus to dictate to certain people; and in the process forgot that somebody and some people made him the chairman of the PDP. Like the dog whom the gods want to kill that stops smelling feces, Nwodo overreached himself with the attempted usurping of his godfather's powers to ordain party officials in Enugu State. Now he has paid a huge price like all unsuccessful dissidents, and he has now been consigned to the history garbage bin of a once was chairman of party. Icheoku bemoans this case of another banana-peel victim of Igbo people unable to understand the art of the game and play it as it should be played. First was Vincent Ogbulafor and now Okwesilieze Nwodo - two chairmen of PDP just within few years and Nwodo barely survived for six months? Icheoku says Nwodo deserves what he got and should also in addition be made to face trial for his role in the fraudulent embezzlement of over $200million at the National Identity Cards project. What an uncalculating humanoid, this man is!

MICHAEL STEELE OUT, REPUBLICANS ROMANCE WITH BLACKS IS OVER?

It is back to the 'good ole white boys only' as the "nigger" chairman who refused to know his place is finally thrown out of office. Micheal Steele who supervised the insurgent Tea Party Republicans take-over of the House did not do enough or right by Republican White establishment, hence they threw him under the bus despite his accomplishment. He was simply not a fit for the all white male dominated Republican Party. In his place they elected one of their own Reince Priebus and rejected even the candidate endorsed by the forced out Steele, Mario Cino. Icheoku says, no matter how anyone tries, if you are not like them and do not look like them, you are never good enough for them; so long Mike.

AN UNGRATEFUL NWODO SACKED AS PARTY CHAIRMAN!

Icheoku says Nwodo disappointed so many Enuguans when he went to Abuja riding on the co-tail of Sullivan Chime and got greedy. However he forgot that the governor is still in charge in Enugu and so much water could still pass under the bridge. Now that the JOKER has been thrown, it is game-over for the obtuse power-grabber. If only he knew that his downfall could still be orchestrated through the courts, may be he could have been more circumspect in challenging his 'Chi' to a fight. Icheoku says, let Enugu people see who now laughs last.

BURNT OFFERINGS PULLED, STORY NOT CONFIRMED.

Icheoku wants to thank Fatima Aminu for pointing out the error on our story, 'Burnt Offerings'; and accordingly we have pulled the story now convinced that our source overreached. Icheoku regrets going to the press, based on our usually impeccable source, without further verifying the story. Once again, our thanks to Fatima Aminu for pointing out the fact and for being a fan. There was no deliberate intention on our part to sensationalize the story or otherwise be divisive in our commentary. Together we shall overcome!

IGBO PEOPLE IN JOS NIGERIA, DEFEND YOURSELVES!

Icheoku calls on Igbo people in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria to treat the insecurity situation which is continuously claiming their lives in the north for what it is - a failed state of lawlessness. It is very obvious that the Nigeria state cannot provide security for her citizens, so such citizens can resort to self-help to help save themselves from an assured extinction. They should defend themselves by and using all means necessary:- just apply the 'Kano 83' solution and see the Jos problem go away forever. Icheoku says, enough of being cry-babies; defend your honor and manhood, rise up and defend yourselves today and quit whining!

SHERIFF CLARENCE DUPNIK, STANDING UP FOR COMMON SENSE.

Icheoku says Rush Limbaugh turned into a hell's fury as he defensively attacked a statement which inferred that the Tucson violence could be traced to vitriolic statements coming out of political leaders, especially the right. If only Rush Limbaugh could make out time to think and understand that the absence of evidence does not necessarily mean that the crime was not committed and just take a deep breath. Icheoku says Pima County Arizona which includes Tucson has a wonderful stand-up sheriff in Sheriff Clarence Dupnik and his well articulated statement that acerbic talk-show statements help bring about such ugly incidents as Tucson's is quite incontrovertible!.

'PRESIDENT JONATHAN IS NOT GOOD FOR NIGERIA' - OLU FALAE

President Traian Basescu, scared of Romanian witches' spell?

Romania, the land that produced Nicolae Ceauşescu, the spirit of the Danube River and dictator extraordinaire, is once again in the news. The country's witches and wizards, and they are legion, are threatening to cast spell on the president and government of Romania for daring to impose taxes on them. To ward off the impending evil spell and curses, the president now adorns purple outfits for protection. Icheoku says, Romania is an European country that is supposedly civilized to have outgrown superstitions; and these broom and stick travelers were unable to cast a spell on French Sarkozy when he recently expelled their countrymen and women from France. Just for the heck of it, does anybody know whether Christie O'Donnel, the failed Tea Party senatorial candidate form Delaware is a Romanian gypsy by ancestry?

'EXECUTE MICHAEL VICK' SAYS FOXNEWS TUCKER CARLSON?

Tucker Carlson of FoxNews said Philadelphia Eagles quarterback 'Michael Vick should have been executed for torturing dogs? Also that Mr. Vick is comparable to a child molester?' Icheoku says this crazed-out pig must be out of his mind in desiring that killing or torturing of dogs should attract a death penalty; or is it a case of a racist, hating a 'nigger' so much, that he preferred him better dead. Where is the equivalency of the crime and his prescribed punishment here? And before Mr. Vick could become a child molester, Mr. Carlson must have fathered dogs or have children who are dogs or have dogs for children. What a raving lunatic that should be confined in a cold asylum!

ICHEOKU CONGRATULATES GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN OF CALIFORNIA!

Now a third term governor of the once golden state of California, Governor Jerry Brown has now broken two records - once as the youngest 34th Governor at 36years and now the oldest 39th Governor at 72 years. He has also the record of taking over both times from movie stars - Ronald Reagan in 1975 and now Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2011. Governor Brown is the son of former two-term governor of California Edmund G. Brown and he has paid his political dues too from being a two term former governor, secretary of state, attorney general and mayor of Oakland. He once practiced Buddhism in Japan and also worked with Mother Teresa in India showcasing his meekness and humility. At 72 he sure looks good and his aunt at 98-years even looks better; what a longevity gene that runs in the Brown family. Icheoku says, congratulations to the oldest but youthful governor of California.

APB ON NORTHERN NIGERIA AND IRAQ!

BOBBY FARRELL OF BONEY M, DEAD ON RUSSIAN-TOUR AT 61.

He was born in Caribbean Aruba as Alphonso Farrell but took the stage-name Bobby as the lead act in the 1974 plus Disco-era top earner Boney M. He was the alter-ego and chief act of the quartet, comprised of three ladies and one man, himself; a group founded by the German singer and songwriter Frank Farian, who actually sings those songs while Bobby mimes and acts them on stage. The group recorded series of top hits but Icheoku's favorite is 'Brown girl in the ring'. Though Boney M original group broke up in 1986, but Bobby kept on his music career as Bobby Farrell's Boney M which was touring Russian when he gave up the ghost. The late man among women was more girlie(feminine) than the girls of Boney M, which helped captivate more audience world-wide who were thrilled at his energy performance still looking sissy. Bobby was an act and his global fans will surely miss him, some of who have already purchased tickets for his current world tour but like Michael Jackson's "This is it", will also not be able to see their idol. Icheoku says, Adieu Mister Mesmerizer extraordinaire!

MIKHAIL KHODORKOVSKY TO REMAIN A PRISONER FOR FEW MORE YEARS

HUGH HEFNER TAKES YET ANOTHER WIFE, A GRANDDAUGHTER BRIDE?

Playboy extra-ordinaire, Hugh Hefner is tired of remaining a bachelor and has engaged a girl young enough to be his great granddaughter as his future bride. Hefner, 84, is getting married again to Crystal Harris, 24 and you wonder what 60 years age differential got to do with it? This will be the third marriage for Hefner with the first being in 1949 to wife number 1, Mildred with whom he has children ages 58 and 55. He divorced her in 1959 and waited 30 years till 1989 when he took wife number two Kimberley Conrad with whom he has two sons ages 10 and 9 before divorcing her in 2009. Icheoku wishes this guy who understands how to really live life, happy adventure number three and at 84, hey!

SIMONE EHIVET-GBAGBO, BEHIND HUSBAND'S REFUSAL TO QUIT?

Icheoku says behind every despot there is a Lady-Macbeth goading and pushing him on against his will. So please take a good look at the woman who has so far made it impossible for former Ivorien President Laurent Gbagbo to throw in the towels. Former Ivory Coast First Lady, Simone Gbagbo, seen here gesticulating, is the real voice of dissent behind the face of former President Gbagbo's refusal to quit power. Icheoku hopes and prays that Simone Gbagbo will be the first African Lady Nicolae Ceausescu of Romania and volunteer to suffer the fate of her husband in the final event he is tried and convicted for his atrocities against the people of Ivory Coast. Icheoku calls on the former first lady to do right by her husband and allow him to concede defeat now!

GBAGBO, TAKE HIM OUT NOW!

Africa has enough of his type (sit-tight leaders) already and this Gbagbo must not be allowed to augment their numbers. Icheoku is surprised that marines and special unit forces have not already started rappelling down into Abidjan to take out the defiant Gbadabo who is currently thumbing his bloody nose on the whole world. There should be no negotiation with this African wanna-be sit tight leader. Enough of the Mwai Kibakis, Robert Mugabe etc of Africa. France Gerdames should show the way and now is the time as everyday goes by leads to a total breakdown of law and order in Ivory Coast.

LAURENT GBAGBO, TAKE HIM OUT - ODINGA

'Gbagbo must be forced out of office, even if it means using military means to get rid of him. The AU must start taking seriously the situation in Ivory Coast instead of just lamenting; as Democracy must be preserved.” - Raila Odinga, Prime Minister of Kenya. Icheoku agrees that all options must be on the table and that this sit-tight wanna be Ivorien must not be allowed to take down Ivory Coast with him as Taylor did with Liberia. Odinga equally is a man of great experience, himself having been similarly situated by an unwilling President Mwai Kibaki who refused to yield office. Now is the time to cut Gbagbo loose from office using any and every means necessary since there is no other acceptable solution but his exit.

DORA AKUNYILI JUMPS SHIP!

The feisty lady of Nigeria, professor of pharmacology, take-no-prisoner NAFDAC chairwoman, information minister who attempted to re-brand a non-existing brand and the woman who single-handedly jump-started the beginning of the end of late President Umaru Yar'Adua's presidential absentism, Dora Akunyili, has resigned her office, her political party membership of the PDP and has gone over to APGA; she will contest for a senate seat under her new party. Icheoku wishes her well and observes that hers appears to be the first time a seating minister voluntarily resigned office in Nigeria. Goodluck Madam re-branding!

LT. COL. TERRENCE LAKIN, AN ANTI-OBAMA SOLDIER; CONVICTED!

They come in different shades and backgrounds, racist white Americans still questioning the validity of President Barack Obama's presidency two years into his administration. One of such hicks, Lt. Col Terrence Lakin, was convicted today for disobeying lawful orders to report to duty for Afghanistan. He said he was questioning the president's commander in chief authority, since according to Mr. Lakin, Barack Obama does not meet the "natural born citizen" threshold to be an American president. Larkin is an Army medical doctor who refused to deploy to Afghanistan earlier this year in protest to "That One's" citizenship status? Lt. Col Lakin faces up to three years following his conviction as well as dismissal from the army; but now he is begging to be retained by the same army whose CNC, President Barack Obama, he disrespectfully dissed? Icheoku says it is arrant craziness for this Greele Colarado native to think that there will still be a place for him in the army of one; and he has not even recanted his claim against the president and commander in chief.

THIS MAN, A TERRORIST? UNBELIEVABLE!

Well, as William Shakespeare once wrote, there is no way of reading the mind's construction by the face; and boy was Shakespeare right. Taimour Abdulwahab Abdaly, an Iraqi-born Swede and the Swedish-bomber does not look any bit a typical terrorist and this is the fork on the road on Western countries hunt for these evil people. He certainly does not fit any known profile of a terrorist and Icheoku is afraid that so many green snakes like him are lurking throughout the greenery of Western countries waiting for the opportunity to deliver their deadly payloads. Only vigilance and prayers will save us with the likes of this Swedish bomber, the diaper bomber, the Times Square bomber and even the shoe bomber - all looking prospective looking becoming our new nemesis? It is unimaginable; but kudos to our various security agencies and mother luck for containing these raving jihadists so far

DEWANI ANNI'S KILLING IN SOUTH AFRICA, AN INDIAN DOWRY-DEATH?

Icheoku is not buying the tale of 'being yanked out of the car and his wife driven off with' as being told by Shrien Dewari over the killing of his wife Anni Dewari in South Africa. Icheoku says, this is another case of the infamous Indian dowry-death which was carried out in South Africa by the conniving maggot of a husband, Shrien. Hopefully his sins shall catch up with him, convicted and sent away for life in a maximum security prison in Robin Island, South Africa where he will spend the rest of his natural life being hounded by the ghost of Anni as he ponders whether it was worth it afterall.

ISRAELI MOUNT CARMEL FOREST FIRE, EXTINGUISHED!

Icheoku is thankful to all those firefighters from the world-over who fought gallantly to quench the fire which ravaged parts of Israel recently. It was akin to the biblical Mount Horeb and the burning bush in which God spoke to Moses. But hey, it is not God's wrath but the reckless and careless act of a fourteen year old Jewish boy who smoked something and didn't dispose the smoldering stub properly. Icheoku says it was an accident and the boy should be set free and not face any indictment, being a minor.

PRESIDENT JONATHAN'S BRIBERY GALORE CONTINUES!

The Save Nigeria Group was the first to alert Nigeria of the bribery tendencies Nigeria's President Jonathan with his $50,000 attempted bribery of the group. Not fazed by the disclosure, President Jonathan has now put his sight on the leadership of the national assembly who he has decided to bribe with their acquisition of official government quarters as their own private homes. Icheoku screams holy macro and queries if the past leadership had acquired these properties, where the present leadership would have resided. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck and Nigerians must be wary of this aloof Niger Delta operative.

TOM DELAY, GUILTY AS CHARGED AND GOING AWAY FOR LIFE?

BABANGIDA LOSES AGAIN, THIS TIME TO NORTHERN ELDERS ATIKU ABUBAKAR

This time, his northern Hausa/Fulani/Gwari brothers and whatever they have up there in the north rejected him as being too toxic for the North as well as Nigeria. They told him that his presidential aspiration is DOA and there is no use trying; and choose Atiku instead. Icheoku said with this final nail on his coffin driven home by his kinsmen, Babangida should now go into a shameful retirement to think seriously how he became such a damaged goods in Nigeria and the worst political leper in Nigeria who nobody wants to deal with, including his northern brothers. Icheoku says, well done northern elders forum for finally retiring this devil incarnate.

"I AM A VICTIM OF JUNE 12TH" - IBRAHIM BADAMOSI BABANGIDA.

Icheoku says to Nigerians, please do not mind the conman. Once again he is deploying a reverse psychology, playing his well known mind game against the entire populace; but hey, Babangida is no Hannibal Lectern! By his latest assertion, Babangida is trying to rewrite history and remake the story of millions of Nigerian victims who suffered untold state hardship and victimization during his despotic rule. In his jaundiced eyes, these Nigerians were the aggressors and himself was the one wronged and who actually needs all the sympathetic ears that can be mustered in Nigeria. Icheoku says, please do not join this man's train to hallucination land as it is a one-way ticket of no return. Just tune off and let the evil-one rot in his soon to implode delusional quest to mount the saddle again! Never again Babangida!

LISA MURKOWSKI SENATE WIN, ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR TEA PARTY SARAH PALIN.

Alaskans seem to have finally ended their romance with their beauty queen, air-head Sarah Palin as they said thanks but no to her endorsed senate candidate, Joe Miller. They instead sent Lisa Murkowitz right back to Washington DC as a write-in candidate; a smack in the mouth for Sarah Palin and her fellow Tea Party anarchists who want to roll over the progress of the last several years. Icheoku says, with crazy Joe now out of the way, Rand Paul still remains the lone ranger in the senate and could be easily contained. Borrowing from Lisa herself, 'doesn't it feel like wow!'

GOVERNOR SPENDS 700 MILLION NAIRA EACH MONTH ON HIS SECURITY?

Mind-boggling indeed! Icheoku asks, really how much does this governor's life worth that he should be spending the peoples' money to protect it in this manner? By the way who and what is he protecting himself from - the same people he made mad by misappropriating their money. Icheoku therefore calls on Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State, Nigeria, to show some remorse and forthwith, cease and desist from this inexplicable wastage of the peoples money. But an aside, why does this governor still need such human protection when he already made a pact with the devil - 'Alusi Okija' or did he also renege on his blood promise to the deity and now needs protection from the deity too?

ADAMU CIROMA IS A NUT-JOB, WANTS NIGERIA TO DISINTEGRATE?

"If they are still working on such a platform, then we should actually be discussing how to dismember this country, because this consensus candidate thing doesn’t make sense. Their action is moving from a political thing to a national warfare.’’ Doyin Okupe berating Ciroma for his search for a consensus northern presidential candidate. Icheoku adds, but can the South smell what Ciroma's north is cooking - a Nigeria with a northern president or nothing at all including a Nigeria that once was!

BEHOLD ONE OF THE INDEPENDENCE DAY BOMBER, CHARLES OKAH!

His name is Charles Okah, a brother to the other turncoat turn in the flesh terrorist, Henry Okah. It would seem that terrorism is part of their family's business. So to the literature of terrorists, we have shoe-bomber, domestic-bomber, diaper-bomber, plane-bomber, wtc-bomber, embassy-bomber, women and children bomber and now the mother of all bombing, independence day bomber. The father that produced these domestic terrorists must have drank too much local gin (ogogoro) on the respective days they were consummated before approaching their mother.

THE VICTIM OF AN ABUSIVE SAUDI ARABIA KILLER PRINCE.

GAY SAUDI ARABIA KILLER PRINCE, CONVICTED FOR KILLING GAY LOVER.

SARAKI'S PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY REJECTED BY THE NORTH!

The presidential aspiration of Governor Bukola Saraki of Kwara State has hit the rocks. Information reaching Icheoku has it that the northern front which is trying to present a common northern candidate to challenge President Jonathan in 2011 ruled him out of contention because he is not northern enough? According to their resolution, Saraki does not speak Hausa language and hence cannot be presented to represent the north. Icheoku says really? An Orwellian case of all northerners are equal but some are more equal than the others. Since when has fluency in Hausa language become a prerequisite for the presidency of Nigeria? This goes to unmask the real intention and plans of these mullahs agitating for zoning system - they just want to Islamize the country and possibly force everyone to learn their language!

FAYEMI IS NOW THE NEW GOVERNOR OF EKITI STATE.

With forty out of the forty-eight months of his would have been term of office already spent by a usurper to the office, Action Congress of Nigeria's Kayode Fayemi will now serve out the remainder of his stolen mandate as elected governor of Ekit State Nigeria. The Appeal court declared him winner of the governorship election which Segun Oni in connivance with Olusegun Obasanjo had seized through a stolen mandate. Icheoku while saying congratulations, hopes that INEC will vary the time of election in Ekiti State to accommodate this lost period. This is now another episode in the revolving door that is Nigeria's elected offices as another governor has now been fired and another one hired through the ruling of the court. Judicial activism, may be; but Icheoku would have preferred they arrested Obasanjo and Iwu to explain all these anomalies of the 2007 election. A testament that whatever will be will be!

CHILEAN MINE RESCUE PROGRESSING VERY WELL AND AHEAD OF TIME!

Actual pull-out started for the 33 Chilean miners trapped beneath the earth at a depth of 2040 feet and for 69 days has begun. Florencio Avalos was the first to make it out to a land-up while the rest are similarly on their way out of their hell hole. Icheoku says congratulations to the rescue team who organised this deepest mine rescue of modern times; and thank God Almighty for sheltering these trapped miners while their ordeal lasted. Boy, were those guys tough, strong, brave, fired-up and ready to go!

DESMOND TUTU YIELDS THE STAGE.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa has retired from public life. According to the ever engaging archbishop, he is leaving the scene to make way for younger generation to continue from where his generation stopped. Icheoku says but unlike Babangida of Nigeria who cast aspersion on Nigerian youths as incapable of leading Nigeria, Archbishop Tutu believed in the youths of South Africa and on-the-job training of the youths and made way for them to have a way. Icheoku commends this placing of an idea above self as we wish the Archbishop a wonderful life in retirement.

BABANGIDA ON WHY HE DID NOT ATTEND INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATION?

BOLIVIA'S PRESIDENT EVO MORALES UN-SPORTSMANLY BEHAVIOR.

It was thuggish, it was demeaning of a leader and above all it was thuggish. President Evo Morales of Bolivia intentionally kicked an opponent in the groin in a friendly soccer match. Icheoku wonders what leader leads by such aggressive example and why the president was not given a red card for such un-sportsman foul or was it a case of a president who is above any reproach. His behavior is simply unacceptable and it does not matter the underlying reason - a leader should be above board and lead by example.

BABANGIDA'S NO-SHOW AT CELEBRATION, SUSPICIOUS!

IBRAHIM BABANGIDA'S NEW REFRAIN, WHY HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED!

NIGERIA'S 50TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION BOMBED!

As a present for a wasteful extravaganza that was Nigeria@50 and when there is really "nothing worth celebrating after 50 years of failure", the people gathered in Abuja Nigeria received a bomb-blast, courtesy of MEND. Icheoku condemns violence of any kind but says the bomb made a nonsense of the entire Nigeria security agencies who failed to detect a bomb-laden car packed so near to the venue of the celebration. But is there really a tangible thing worth celebrating in a 50 year Nigeria's life?

RICK SANCHEZ OF CNN'S RICK LIST WHO FORGOT HE WAS NOT WHITE, FIRED!

Icheoku says the kite that thought he is an eagle just discovered that eagles know their own kind. CNN just fired him for calling John Stewart a bigot. Icheoku says but John Stewart has called other people some other bad names and does not see the big deal of one expressing an opinion; but hey this is America and minorities is expected to know their place. Whites, Browns, Yellows, Arabs and Blacks are different gnome genre used to differentiate people with certain privileges and Rick forgot he is an 'ordinary' brown not entitled to take on a white-Jew?

PDP'S ZONING ARRANGEMENT REDEFINED?

"You cannot be talking about zoning when your dad has nominated your sister to be the next governor of Kwara State after your own eight year term as the governor. Further the zoning arrangement in the PDP excludes the presidency since you cannot zone what you do not have." - President Goodluck Jonathan. Icheoku asks, but does the PDP or the president already have the other stuff which they zone or it it a case of he who the cap fits? Did Mr President just twist the facts to suit his template; otherwise isn't it a laughable proposition that a party would zone every other positions in the party and country but not the presidency? Way to go for Nigeria's slick Nath!

BABANGIDA, A DOUBLE AGENT FOR THE ISLAMIC WORLD AND A FRONT FOR OIC?

A vote for Babangida is a vote to Islamize Nigeria. A 'mission accomplished' for the man who surreptitiously took a secular Nigeria into OIC without consulting other non Muslim Nigerians. Now the same Islamic forces headed by Moummar Gaddafi of Libya is sponsoring his bid back to power. Icheoku wonders if such foreign interference is not a criminal behavior for which an accomplice, Babangida, should be held accountable for cavorting with the enemy. A known anarchist and destabilizing force in Africa who had once called for dividing of Nigeria into two countries - one for Christians and the other for Muslims. Icheoku wonders if Gaddafi wants to see his divided Nigeria come to pass through his sponsorship of the evil-genius Babangida against all odds.

IRAN'S ANTI-REASON PHILOSOPHY, REJECTS CARROT AND STICK APPROACH!

"The era of following a policy of carrot and stick is over. Even such words are insulting to nations. It's only good for cowboys and those of retarded people. Definitely it has no effect. They issued resolutions as talks were underway, still, we are ready for talks." Icheoku says what a case of a midget poking his finger at the world; and if sanctions are not working, why the sudden call for talks, after Iran had severally in the past and before the sanction rebuffed the world's every effort at making it see reason.

BABANGIDA DOES NOT GET IT, NIGERIANS DESERVES AN APOLOGY!

“I told Nigerians that it was wrong; I told Nigerians Kill me, don’t kill anybody…This elections was annulled 17 years ago and what I keep telling Nigerians is for Christ sake let us move forward. I thought people should understand that when you accept responsibility, he is saying blame it on me, not on any other person" - Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida in an interview with CNN. Icheoku says if only this toothy monster of Minna understands the beef Nigerians have with him, he will know that there is a great difference between 'taking responsibility' and saying that "you are sorry"; especially for taking 150 million Nigerians for the ride that was June 12th. Babangida, Icheoku says, Nigerians cannot and will never move forward or on from you until either you drop dead or you explain in detail why you did what you did - annulling their election, and sufficiently apologize for it, get it Dumber!

TEA PARTY EXPRESS SLOGAN?

"Just vote them out!" Icheoku says with such an absolute slogan and without any option for an exception where performance is apparent, the Sarah Palin led Tea Party has assumed the toga of extreme fringe lunatic fundamentalists in America politics. It is not as if they are offering an alternative or any feasible solution out of the bind which the country is in, no, as reactionaries, they just want to sweep everyone away. But Americans know better that all these Tea Party fanatics parading around and toppling more rational people everywhere are not what the present day economic and political situational development in America needs and therefore must vote in November to retain sanity in the system as well as to sustain the tempo of literate responsible governance!

CHRISTIE O'DONNEL, DELAWARE REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATE DABBLES IN WITCHCRAFT?

"I dabbled into witchcraft, I hung around people who were doing these things. I'm not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do; one of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it. I mean, there's little blood there and stuff like that. We went to a movie and then had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar." Icheoku says, now that you have heard it from the horse's mouth, it is now left for you Delaware people to decide who to represent you in the US Senate; but Icheoku would rather it is not a witch or a witchcraft sympathizer!

ANTI ROMA-PEOPLE FRENCH BANS MUSLIM NIQAB IN PUBLIC PLACES!

As the French Senate bans masquerades parading on the streets of France as Muslim women, Icheoku says it is about time! If these guys love these sacs so much why did they leave the Middle East in the first place. Moreso Middle East imprison Westerners for wearing bikins and minis in their homelands yet their people want to inundate the West with these robe-entombed women running around Western streets with its attendant security risks and risk of injury from stumbling on the garments. It is just becoming too much these their "in your face" moves; except they will open up the Middle East for western culture too.

EBITU UKIWE ADVISES NIGERIANS NOT TO ELECT BABANGIDA!

"To jumpstart the political redefinition of Nigeria, Nigerians should avoid electing those who have inflicted poverty and underdevelopment on the country through avarice and nepotism because such people can never be loyal to their country and their followers." - Ebitu Ukiwe. Icheoku says Ebitu just delivered a side-blow to his former boss and the man who frustrated him out of the military, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, concerning the later's still-birth presidential ambition. Way to go and we urge all Nigerians to speak up now against Babangida or forever maintain their peace of quietude!

SAUDI ARABIANS NEED AND DESERVE FREEDOM FROM THE HOUSE OF SAUD!

All manners of freedom - of sexual preferences, of women driving cars and living their lives, of religion including the right for Christians to practice their religion in the Kingdom and build churches in Mecca, Medina and Riyadh if they want, of alcoholic beverages consumption, of political opinions and affiliations including elections etc. Icheoku says it is about time the Kingdom of Saud is called to order and not allowed to continue getting away with emasculation of freedom on the alter of oil security for the West. America should demands of their oily friends in Riyadh that they become freedom friendly and tolerant and open up the Kingdom for other people not from the ruling family.

GENERAL IHEJIRIKA, NIGERIA'S POST WAR FIRST COAS OF IGBO EXTRACTION

As President Goodluck Jonathan trades one Igbo security chief for another, Icheoku says what a political chess-game abracadabra? President Jonathan sacked IGP Onovo and in order to placate the Igbos, appointed Major General Onyeabo Ihejirika as the new Chief of Army Staff. Icheoku only hopes that the usual banana peel which has been afflicting Igbo public officials and which just swept IGP Onovo away will spare the new COAS. Chief of Army Staff Ihejirika is from Ovim, Isuikwuato Local Government Area of Abia State and was commissioned into the Nigerian army in 1977. Congratulations COAS Ihejirika.

FIDEL CASTRO'S CUBA REGRETS COMMUNISM, SAYS IT DOESN'T WORK!

The strong man of Cuba, and at 80 plus still going strong, Fidel Castro has finally turned the corner and admitted for the very first time that he took Cubans on a long ride of a discredited communism. Fidel Castro owed up to what the whole world including Russia and China have since known that state welfarism based on all for the state does not work and never worked. Capitalism despite its flaws is still the best economic philosophy of any nation or people. But per adventure it is a mark of greatness for one to admit his flaws and mistakes; and on this note Icheoku hails Fidel for admitting to a mistake made by his revolutionary regime - Viva Castro, Viva Fidel and Viva Cuba!

ISRAELI FOREIGN MINISTER AVIGDOR LIEBERMAN, NOT ON TEAM-PEACE?

According to him the recently resumed Middle East peace talks between his country and Palestine is creating too much expectation and the one year goal of achieving peace is not possible. Icheoku says a house divided cannot stand so it is that Team Israeli is negotiating with a divided objective. But why is Netanyahu still keeping a minister who is so opposed to his peace effort and playing into the hands of Hamas, Hezbollah and other anti-peace Arabs who have chided the new effort as a journey to nowhere; or is it a case of Catch-22 damn it if you retain him and damn it if you fire him; but appearnace still matters and Israel would be seen to be making the best effort without a recalcitrant minister who publicly disagrees with his Prime Minister and President in this manner.

PARIS HILTON, A CRACK-HEAD DESPERATELY CRYING FOR HELP?

No one seem to be listening or hearing the cry for help by this hotel heiress until she wounds up dead as a door knob. It has happened before with some celebrities and children of society's high ups; and Icheoku would not be surprise to wake up one day with the sad news that Paris Hilton turned up somewhere, having assumed room temperature. But it is not yet late and all hands must be on deck to save this party-gal from herself and turn her away from the current destructive path which she is travelling on! May be Paris could benefit from a Brittany Spears styled treatment of parental tough-love therapy.

NIGERIA IS BROKE (BANKRUPT) AND CANNOT PAY ITS DEBTS?

Look no further for the evidence that Nigeria's financial situation is dire and all her creditors should better be wary. Icheoku asks what does Nigeria have to show for the expenditure of $19.54billion just between 2007 and 2010; during which the Excess Crude Account (ECA) which held $20 billion in 2007 when Obasanjo left office has been depleted to a mere $460 as at August 2010. What band of thieves have descended on Nigeria in this way that its resources should be so cannibalized and with nothing to show for it, as trade-off. Please when will that army man who can clean the Augean stable, rise and hold these thieving mongrels accountable?

KARA DIOGUARDI, JUDGE-LESS JUDGE, FINALLY FIRED FROM AMERICAN IDOL?

The judge who cannot judge, the judge without any sense of judgment and the reason why American Idol tanked in rating has finally been given the boot. She came, she saw and she destroyed a once highly rated show; made so popular with commentators commenting throughout the week until the next Tuesday the stellar drama put up by the teary eyed Paula Abdul, who provided a regular side-show with her rambling and cries to temper Simon Cowel's cold acerbic jabs. Suddenly out of nowhere and for no useful purpose came one Kara and American Idol never was the same again. Hopefully it can still be salvaged, provided Paula Abdul is brought back and Simon Cowel persuaded to continue spitting his missiles. But whatever the case regarding Simon Cowel, Icheoku has vowed never to tune in again to American Idol until Paula Abdul returns. What a belated good riddance of a no-use fourth judge, a woman that destroyed American Idol, Kara DioGuardi.

HILLARY CLINTON, THE HARDEST WORKING MADAM SECRETARY OF STATE, NEEDS A NEW MAKEUP ARTIST?

That she is a hard-worker is not in doubt and so also is her steely resolve to get accomplished whatever she set her mind at. Icheoku is a fan, especially since the successful resolution of the last presidential primaries rough-edges. She has been well taken care of by her make-up team; but not today as her face was unevenly over powdered with her neck line left totally untouched. Icheoku wants Madam Secretary to call her make-up artist to order or have them fired or replaced for presenting her face in such a discolored form at the Israeli-Palestine reconvened peace treaty.

PARIS HILTON BANNED FROM WYNN RESORTS LAS VEGAS!

The hard partying heiress of Hilton Hotel chains aka American party gal extraordinaire, Paris Hilton, has been banned from partying at Wynn Hotels and Resorts Las Vegas. She was bursted in the hotel for suspected marijuana and cocaine use and possession, which the hotel felt was a bad pr for its image. Icheoku says big deal, since the party animal can always take her cash-money and panache elsewhere in the city of sin. But hey, why didn't Wynn just let what happened in Vegas to remain in Vegas instead of now banning Paris from her oxygen of life - partying. Is anyone out there still wondering why the raging drug war in Mexico and elsewhere, it is to feed the drug appetites of the Paris Hiltons of America!

ALASKAN TEA PARTY UPSET, A REQUIEM FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?

IS BABANGIDA A GAY-NIGERIAN, YET TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET?

The evil-one and self styled evil genius of Nigeria, the ruthless dictator who killed Dele Giwa and annulled Nigeria's freest election of June 12th, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida appears womanish? Could it be that the rumor of his being a gay-Nigerian is true as he continues to look so effeminate with every passing day especially since the death of his wife Maryam; and his decision not to remarry ever since does not help the rumor either. But whatever be the explanation for his chubbiness, Babangida is certainly looking fat, chubby and unmanly. However he must never be allowed to kill and maim Nigerians again, not in 2011, not any other time whatsoever. He is evil and evil must never be allowed to rule Nigerians again. Say Amen, Nigerians!

BEHEADING, NO LONGER AN EXCLUSIVE ACT OF TERROR AND/OR PRESERVE OF AL-QUEIDA!

An American from St Augustine Florida, 51-year old Dale Rose learnt too well from Al-Queida, the horrific act of decapitation. He decapitated and dismembered his girlfriend, 48-year-old Jan Dunn Keller spreading her body parts all over the place with some found wrapped in a tarp and left in their garage while others were found buried in a bush nearby. Icheoku says just like this portal kicked against the recent Manhattan 'Ground Zero' Mosque resistance and the broad-brushing of all Muslims as 9/11 terrorists; this insane act by an apparently deranged American does not represent every American. Therefore it is imperative that we as a people do proportionately distinguish and isolate every given case and treat it for what it is - a nutcase!

A NIGERIAN AKAATA DIES IN ORJI UZOR KALU'S USA HOME!

A $39 MILLION GUBERNATORIAL TICKET ECSTASY IN FLORIDA?

As Healthcare millionaire Rick Scott buys the bragging right to fly his Republican Party's governorship ticket in Florida's next election; Icheoku wonders out loud what kind of healthcare he provided for the needy or was he of the school that denied or cut corners in order to amass such a fortune. At a price of 39 million dollars for the right to run for governor of Florida under the Republican Party, Icheoku cannot but begin to question what really is the value of public service in America?

SAHARA REPORTER DEFINES CASH-JOURNALISM IN NIGERIA.

'A true journalist does not accept gratification for his news because it puts monetary value on the news. A journalist that accepts gifts in exchange for reporting the news is a journalist that sells the news. A Nigerian journalism founded on a midnight quid-pro quo visit to the news source, based on the principle of cash-for-coverage of the news, is a journalism that sells Nigerians into slavery.' - SaharaReporters, berating the midnight visit of some Nigerian journalists to Babangida's Minna residence in exchange for a 10 million Naira "transportation fees". Icheoku says, these Judas Iscariot journalists of Nigeria suddenly forgot that the Babangida killed Dele Giwa was once one of them - a journalist?

JUNE 12TH, BABANGIDA DOES NOT GET IT?

“Only Abiola and his family deserve an apology over the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election won by Chief MKO Abiola." - Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida. Icheoku says, this toothy mallam of Minna fails to understand what June 12th means and represents. Babangida woefully failed to comprehend why Nigerians are mad as hell against him for the annulment since it destroyed a sacred mandate which they gave to MKO Abiola o hold on their behalf. Evil genius Babangida, Icheoku says to you, just in case you still don't get it; June 12th annulment is an affront on the whole Nigerians and to them all do you owe an apology; get it dumber!

PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN, PANDERING TO BABANGIDA?

FORMER ILLINOIS GOVERNOR 'BLAGO-HAIR' ACQUITTED?

He was accused of haggling and trying to auction the senate seat of former Senator Barack Obama to the highest bidder. However the jury of his peers in the windy city of Chicago found otherwise and acquitted him of all but one count of the charges - of lying to Federal agents. Blagovich got some good lawyers indeed based on what the Feds had him on tape as saying. Icheoku says, possibly the hair played some role in influencing the decision or hypnotized the only juror that held out on all other counts in the 11-1 hung jury.

BABANGIDA DECLARES FOR PRESIDENCY, SAYS I'M BACK!

“…you don’t expect me to run for president, at age 70, come to you and beg you to vote for me. I think the older one gets the more you think about a lot of things. For me, it is not a do-or-die affair.” - Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida in a 2008 interview. Icheoku says may the real evil genius now stand up and explain to Nigerians which of the faces of Janus is the real one! But hey, a people gets the type of leadership it deserves; so the onus lies on Nigerians to decide who will be their president in 2011. But for Icheoku and friends, anyone but the evil-one will be preferred!

PAKISTANI CHILD TELLS FLIES, KNOCK YOURSELVES OUT!

No, he is not dead but just in a deep sleep. A flood victim of Pakistan's own 'Katrina' dozes off un-fazed as legion of flies crawl inside his nostrils, and feeding therein.The child from Azakhel near Nowshera Pakistan was in such a deep sleep, following a devastating flood that rendered his community desolate and despondent, that flies is the least of his worries. Icheoku says it seems the child just told the flies, 'I have already seen worse; so be my guest and knock yourselves out! Now begin to count your blessings that your child is not one of those victim children as this; in country busy with banding Nuclear weapon, while turning a blind eye on the level of want and starvation prevalent therein. Icheoku says, this child is a victim of Pakistan's Katrina of 'Noah's biblical magnitude. So sleep on brave child.

LAURA SCHLESSINGER, INSENSITIVE TO RACIALLY CHARGED WORD?

GAY-DOM IN CALIFORNIA, PUT ON A SHORT-HOLD!

Judge Vaugh Walker orders gay marriage to resume, but not until Wednesday August 18, 2010. This is to enable time for any possible appeal to be filed by the anti-gay group of the same-sex divide. Icheoku says with this development, the floodgates of marriage will soon be thrown open to homosexuals, taking away the happiness in these bred's life; as what gay-dom previously brought together, the impending "I do" shall ultimately put asunder; but hey, welcome to the club of agonizing lonely heartaches of marriage, league of homosexuals!

BABANGIDA, YOU MUST ANSWER THOSE FIVE QUESTIONS!

“Before you start asking me question, I want to tell you my rules. I have five no-questions-areas, so, don’t ask me anything related to such areas: one, the issue of June 12 election; another is anything about Dele Giwa, zoning and so on.” - Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida. Icheoku says someone needs to remind this toothy-monster of Minna that his days as a despotic dictator who must be obeyed is since over; and that he is no longer running the show. He has no choice in this matter and if he wants Nigerians' votes he must come and get it; and to get it, he must first clarify the damaging issues of June 12th election annulment as well as who ordered the hit on Dele Giwa. Until he satisfactorily answers these questions, they will keep coming back to haunt him; and if he can't stand the heat, may be it is about time he got out of the kitchen and rop out of the 2011 presidential race.

BUHARI PREDICTS A NIGERIA DISINTEGRATED?

“How can we be so rich and paradoxically so poor? We are a rich nation, poor people. This is a disgrace to the Nigerian leadership. 2011 is critical for the country. There may be no Nigeria thereafter.” - Islamist Muhammadu Buhari; who also denied that he does not know why Nigerians regard him as a fundamentalist? Icheoku says, Buhari, in case you have forgotten, you murdered Batholomew Owo and three others for alleged drug offenses based on a retroactive decree. That is fundamentalism defined, Saudi Arabian Wahabbi style; and that makes you an Islamic zealot, get it skeletal one?

OBASANJO LACKS BACKBONE AND SHOULD NEVER BE TRUSTED?

'Olusegun Obasanjo lacks real courage and should never be trusted for betraying Charles Taylor when he reneged on an agreement 'not to do anything to Taylor' only to turn around later to hand him over to his persecutors at The Hague. - Fani Kayode. Icheoku says betrayal is a common trait among the people of the South Western Nigeria so it is not out of place for Obasanjo to live up to the billing. Moreso why did it take Fani this long to confirm what everyone already knows or suspects. According to Fani, Taylor is "a man betrayed" and his betrayal by Obasanjo and co was 'the betrayal of the century.'

HELLO ELENA KAGAN, THE 112TH UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT JUDGE!

BABANGIDA WOULD IF HE COULD, HURT NIGERIAN MASSES AGAIN!

”Babangida annulled the freest and fairest election in the history of this country and this generated series of crisis. He said there were various issues surrounding that decision, but up till this moment, he has not been able to clear himself. If he had carried out that decision based on the opinion of certain individuals against the wish of the Nigerian people, it is very possible that he would hurt the Nigerian masses again through the decision of those few individuals. - Razak Olokooba, Secretary-General, Coalition of Oodua Self Determination Group (COSEG) Icheoku says be`eni; finally the sons and daughters of Oduduwa have woken up to honor the name of their forebears; and also pay IBB back in his own counterfeit coin!

NKANU NATIVE GIVING IGBO PEOPLE AND ENUGU STATE A BAD NAME?

An armed robbery suspect who was injured during a police shoot-out in Abeokuta and who later offered some villagers N1.8million in protection fees for a safe house and/or passage is from Akpugo-Nkanu, Enugu State, Nigeria! The 20-year -old suspect, Onyeka Ani, was apprehended in Mawuko village, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area, Abeokuta, Ogun State while trying to escape. Icheoku says, just when the people of Enugu State thought that the death of 'Ngeleomu' has ended this area's involvement in dare-devilry, here comes another one of its product, terrorizing his victims in far away Ogun State. What a shameful ambassador he is. A case of changing tides when a criminal was the one begging for mercy and offering monetary reward to avoid harm in a country where their ruthlessness and lack of compassion is beyond pale. He possibly deserved the vigilante justice for opening his mouth in this way and asking for what his kind will not give to the people - leniency!

MICHAEL GREEN, ANOTHER VICTIM OF 'JUSTICE FOR THEM' AMERICAN POLICY?

A victim of over-zealous police attempt to solve a crime fast and an innocent man who fits the 'color-scheme' template of the usual suspect is railroaded into prison and for 27 long years for a crime he did not commit. So the next time you see 'the other ones' angry, instead of merely observing that they are angry, try to understand why they are angry? And just in case you are still feigning ignorance, black American men are angry because of the injustice that is wrought against them without ceasing, just like the latest case of Michael Green's unjust 27 years imprisonment. The next time before you adjudge a black-man angry, instead of just saying they are angry, try to find out what other injustice that has been wrought against him that he is angry about. The real tragedy of Michael Green's latest ordeal is that there are still thousands of black American men similarly incarcerated for crimes they did not commit. Icheoku prays the same providence that helped secure justice for Michael Green will similarly smile at them some day. Michael Green it is painful but you must move on.

ISLAMIST MUHAMMADU BUHARI'S NEW THEME-SONG?

“The Nigeria of this era should be made of a community that tasks its leaders on their past performance and how they will improve upon that. It is out of date to bore the people with where one comes from, the language he speaks or his mode of worship." - Muhammadu Buhari. Icheoku says, finally at last the skinny army man from Katsina have experienced some epiphany. Free at last, free at last, free at last is Nigeria's former head of a military junta, Muhammadu Buhari, who murdered Barthlomeow Owo and two others for drug possession based on a retroactive decree!

STRAIGHT TALK EXPRESS, OUT WITH McCAIN, IN COMES CAMERON!

Icheoku commends the new British Prime Minister Dave Cameron for keeping it real and calling it as it is without the niceties of political correctness. It is a fact that the present Middle East quagmire as is is unsustainable and also when a wall is built around a people restricting their movement drastically, it qualifies as a prison - physical confinement. It is also a fact that Pakistan is not fully committed to eradicating terrorism from their soil and may also be exporting same to its neighboring countries of India and Afghanistan? Icheoku approves of the new British foreign policy initiative as truthful and precise; and geared towards finding real solution to what have defied so many other initiatives. Way to go, Cameron!

LESBIAN TALK-SHOW HOST ELLEN DEGENERES DUMPS AMERICAN IDOL!

"It was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings." With those words, American Idol newest judge Ellen Degeneres calls it quit from her judgeship of the once mesmerizing talent-hunt show. Many of us previously avid fans stopped watching American Idol the moment Paula Abdul was canned from her judge seat. Icheoku says Ellen's move will further send the rating of the show down the drain; but that the rating could still be resuscitated once Kara DioGuardi who brings nothing to the show is removed; and Paula Abdul cajoled back to continue providing the audience with her special side-shows of incoherent ramblings and tearing up. American Idol producers, got it?

ARIZONA ADVISED BY THE COURT TO KNOW ITS BOUNDS!

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer was instructed on the exclusivity of Federal legislative list and that a State cannot suo moto dabble into a purely federal jurisdictional matter such as immigration. The district court told the governor that she has no right to enforce Arizona anti-immigration law wholesale as written because it sort to preempt a federal power. But being the butt-head she is, she has promised her fellow tea-party Arizonans that the state will appeal. Icheoku says, if only this Jezebel will devote some little time to read the constitution instead of wasting Arizona's time and resources chasing the proverbial unicorn!

FRANCE FINALLY WAKES UP TO REALITY OF AL-QUEIDA, DECLARES WAR!

Icheoku says it took the beheading of 78 year old French-man Michel Germaneau for France to finally get it that you don't reason with a deranged man. A war against Al-Queida which America declared and has been fighting for over a decade now; but which to the French was an over-reaction which diplomacy would have resolved? But suddenly an old French man has been beheaded and their President Nikolas Sarkozy had an epiphany that these Al-Queida lunatics admits of no reason at all; but have to be defeated, destroyed and rooted out of this earth. Icheoku says, ironically if all it takes is a national's life, may be Al-Queida should also force other countries such as China and Russia into the war instead of their standing on the fence trying to pontificate on the justiciability or otherwise of the campaign. What a belated Frenchy wake-up call.

PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, NOT BLACK ENOUGH?

So many folks, reacting to the recent treatment of USDA Shirley Sherrods, once again regurgitated the time-worn cliche` that the president is not black enough or fully down with the struggle; otherwise his reaction would have been somewhat much different? To these folks, Icheoku wants you to know that were the president of a darker shade, there would never have been any colored president in "their" White House to begin with; so you must cut down on your losses and accept the half loaf which is better than no loaf at all. Get it folks!

CHELSEA CLINTON WEDS MARC MEZVINSKY ON JULY 31ST, 2010.

As the former little daddy's girl, Chelsea Clinton becomes a full fledged woman and says 'Yes I do' to her man Marc Mezvinsky on July 31 at Astor Court estate in Rhinebeck, Upstate New York, overlooking the Hudson River, Icheoku have always wondered what it takes to marry a president's daughter; whose mother is also a Secretary of States? What did Mark say to Chelsea to secure her hand in marriage or was it a case of somewhat arranged marriage where someone somewhere introduced someone to someone with necessary approval sought and received? But seriously speaking, it must be a great challenge marrying such a lady especially when Chelsea was born in government house and grew up in government houses; never knowing what a real life is like. But hey, Marc Mezvinsky cannot be any ordinary Joe Blow and so, Icheoku wishes the couple all the best.

EMIR OF BAUCHI DIES IN A FOREIGN HOSPITAL?

The Emir of Bauchi and chairman of Bauchi State Council of Emirs, Alhaji Suleiman Adamu Jumba, is dead. He died in Cairo-Egypt, aged 77years. Icheoku, while commiserating with the people of Bauchi State on their loss, decries the penchant of Nigerian leaders to die abroad in foreign hospitals. Instead of ensuring that commensurate health care facilities are provided for everybody in Nigeria, they prefer instead to go overseas on medical treatment and then give up the ghost there; alone and surrounded by strangers in a foreign land. But hey, whether one died on the streets of Bauchi or at the International Medical Center Cairo, Icheoku says death is death and our only wish is that there could be some change of hearts among these crop of human-beings holding sway in Nigeria. Rest in the peace of Allah Emir!

BUHARI ELBOWS BABANGIDA, INSINUATES HE IS A CRIMINAL?

"Nigerians should not to vote for corrupt leaders again because they are criminals; but should vote for people of high integrity." - Muhammadu Buhari. Icheoku says the stoic army man and Islamic fundamentalist has just thrown a low-blow at Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida since Babangida is the only past leader who is running again. Buhari inferred that Babangida is a criminal and lacks integrity; which Icheoku does not doubt since we remember vividly that Babangida, a one time alleged drug runner, overthrew his boss Buhari for planning to investigate his drug activities.

LINDSEY LOHAN GOES TO JAIL !

Second time is always the charm as alcoholic and cocaine addict Lindsey Lohan now got more time than her 84 minutes once jail-time? This time the substance-abusing actress got 90 days for violating her parole and will most likely serve just 14 days, due to jail "over-crowding?" She was partying in Paris and missed her court date. Ms. Lohan now join the league of Hollywood jail gals such as Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. Icheoku however decries the reduced prison term as too sentimental and says, were she of another kind, most likely the sheriff would have squeezed out some space for her to serve out the full duration of the sentence. But hey, different strokes for different folks is the name of the game and we are talking about equality under the law? Moreover, Lindsey Lohan was also "too good" to be photographed with her handcuffs or while being taken into jail-custody since she does not fit the profile of atypical jailbird known to America!

BABANGIDA IS LOSING IT, HIS MIND THAT IS.

“I give credit to both the police and the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), for their steadfastness. It is good news. Journalists in this country are doing wonderfully. That is why in this family we love journalists, and we appreciate the good work they are doing.” - Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida. Icheoku asks, what profession was late Dele Giwa again that Babangida blew him away with parcel bomb without bathing an eyelid? If Babangida's family love for journalists is such that he had for Dele Giwa, then let every journalist in Nigeria run to the hills for safety and as fast as their legs can carry them.

HAPPY 92ND BIRTHDAY, MANDELA!

Dr. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, the pride of black Africa and an embodiment of resilience is 92 years today, July 18, 2010. A man who somewhat compares with Jesus Christ in his largeness of a forgiving heart, who just like Jesus forgave 'them for they do not know what they are doing', also forgave the then racist criminal apartheid government of South Africa for the cold hand they dealt him, vaporising 27 years of his youthful life. He overcame, became president and is 92 today, what a thumbing of the nose on his traducers! Hurray! Icheoku felicitates with this one of a kind special human being, a saint and the only man to have really lived what he preaches. Nelson Mandela, the world especially black Africans are very proud to have you. Hurray! Happy birthday Daddy Africa!

ORJI UZOR KALU RETURNS TO PDP?

A move which time has since come and a position which Icheoku had canvassed for a very long time now. The opposition in Nigeria is very weak, not serious and practically non-existent; hence the PDP is still the best hope and platform for any politician aspiring to any office in the land. Kalu's chances at the presidency will be best served in the PDP, hence his move is well informed and Icheoku approves. Further, irrespective of whatever naysayers may have against his candidacy, Icheoku still believes that Orji Uzor Kalu is the strongest Igbo candidate for the presidency of Nigeria, the peculiar brigandage political environment considered! But is the Igbo's crab-mentality going to let them support Kalu, only time will tell; as they may become then more politically matured.

NWODO SAYS ZONING IS DEAD SINCE 1999 AND BURIED IN PDP?

In fulfillment of the condition subsequent to his appointment as chairman of the PDP, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo has now cleared the way for President Goodluck Jonathan to run in 2011. He has sacrificed the gentleman's agreement of the ruling party as he jettisoned their zoning arrangement. The real losers, as always, is the Igbo people who now have lost the only real opportunity, zoning, that would have made it possible for them to secure the presidency. In the words of Nwodo, “Yes, I said to BBC and I repeat to you again that zoning in PDP  has been jettisoned. There is no zoning on ground right now.  Absolutely, there is no zoning." Icheoku says, at least he is a better politician than the former Ogbulafor whose loud mouth cost him the chair. So Mr. Chairman, when would Babangida be banned or suspended from the PDP to completely pave the way for Jonathan's cake-walk in 2011?

THE CHEATING URUGUAY NATIONAL TEAM IS OUT OF THE WORLD CUP!

What goes around comes around, as the villain of the FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010, Uruguayan national team has been kicked out of the tournament. Netherlands out-scored them 3-2 and their second goal came on the niche of time. Icheoku says when their Luis Suarez turned himself into a goalkeeper to deny Ghana their victory and thereby robbed it of its rightfully earned semi-final position, little did they know they too will soon be shown the way home and out of the competition. What FIFA refused and could not do, the Netherlanders have done. Icheoku says, congratulations Netherlands for kicking Uruguay's butt.

ICHEOKU, PRESIDENT JONATHAN CAPITULATES TO FIFA?

Icheoku says the sudden about turn by President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria regarding the 2year ban he placed on the flopping Eagles is cowardice! His failure to stand firm against FIFA, which has more to lose had the stand-off continued, is pitiful; as neither the lame explanation of an apologetic NFF or his being a listening president does not make much sense as he had both options prior and could have waited to get them before the rash decision from which he has now retracted and reversed himself. There is a thin line between indecisiveness and populism and the president is increasingly becoming a boarder line case. Icheoku bemoans this characterized weakness of President Jonathan, and says if the president cannot stand firm on its decision and caved in to ordinary FIFA's ultimatum, how then can anyone expect him to survive the onslaught of a moving tornado, which IBB's impending operation take over Aso Rock will be! Please Mr. President, next time try and sleep over your thoughts before announcing them as decisions; you now speak for 150million Nigerians and every word from your mouth should carry the weight of the 150million Nigerians not subject to knee-jerk reversals or .swallowing them back. So, before you speak or decide on something next time, ensure it is well thought out and thoroughly.

BABANGIDA 'ADMITS' TO THE MURDER OF DELE GIWA THROUGH A PROXY?

Icheoku says now that the evil one IBB has 'admitted' complicity with the murder of Dele Giwa and since there is no statute of limitation for murder, may be the first order of business and the proper thing to do now is to put him in handcuffs and march him off to Kirirkiri prison to await trial. That way, instead of the nuisance of his presidential run, he will be busy trying to save his neck from the hangman's noose. President Jonathan, the ball is now in your court, using Hazeem Gbolarumi, leader of a dead-on-arrival Babaginda’s campaign's word as evidence, who named the callous and dastardly death by parcel-bomb of the foremost fearless journalist as one of the six cardinal sins of Babangida? How about that Nigerians for a start in putting the toothy monster of Minna away forever and for good. That way Nigerians will outfox the foxy bastard and tell him that Maradona is no longer in form nor playing and that his Team Argentina were handed a 4-0 defeat by new generation Germans at FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010. Enough of this provocative Piranha, IBB.

URUGUAYAN LUIS SUAREZ HAND OF SHAMEFUL DESPERATION!

Icheoku warns that whatever victory the Uruguayans and their cheating maggot Luis Suarez (right) may or may not record henceforth at South Africa FIFA World Cup 2010 remains tainted. They should have been gone from the competition but for their robbing of the Ghana Blackstars their well deserved victory. This SOB Luis Suarez has by his shameless act, joined the list of infamy of those who can do anything for anything; and who callously believe that the end justifies the means. But if only FIFA got the backbone to keep them honest, the likes of Luis Suarez will not dare.

CAUCASIAN TAX, TANNING TO COST YOU MORE?

According to talk-radio rabble-rouser and agent provocateur, Rush Limbaugh, the Tanning Tax which came into effect today, July 1, 2010, is an evil racist plot by the Obama administration specifically targeted to penalize white people for getting their temporary melanin? Icheoku asks, is there also its equivalence wherein the Micheal Jackson and Sammy Sosa of the black/colored America, who hate their blackness and want to getter whiter, are taxed in the spirit of fairness and to take wind out of Rush's argument?

MR. $180 MILLION DOLLARS SOCCER CONTRACT RONALDO IS NOT HAPPY?

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is a sad-man, possibly suffering from depression over his team Portugal's loss to Spain? His sorrow is such that he would give up all his riches for the loss to be to be simply a mere dream from where he hopes to wake up to reality. In the strongest outward manifestation of the pinning of his soul, the soccer maestro complained out loud:- "I feel a broken man, completely disconsolate, frustrated and an unimaginable sadness. ... I am a human being and like any human being I suffer and I have the right to suffer alone." Icheoku consoles Ronaldo to take it easy on himself, it is just a game and his side did not lose woefully. They played very well, only that Spain was more business-like in getting that lone goal. There will always be the next time - just four years down the road? Go do something fun Ronaldo, just anything, like scuba diving with some hammer-head sharks; or sky-jumping or streaking under a clear blue night sky somewhere exotic!

ICHEOKU, NIGERIA DEFINED?

'Nigeria is like a horse-drawn carriage which, instead of one horse, is being drawn by three horses, each tethered in different directions. The result is a country in dire need of direction and in a thug of war with itself - conflicted, confused, stationary and without any meaning movement in any direction. In the words of Baba Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Nigeria is all motion and no movement' - EbekuoNigeria. Icheoku says, ezi-okwu-bu-ndu, gaskiya, be`e-eni, true, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

PRESIDENT UMARU YAR'ADUA'S GRAVE, WHAT IS LIFE REALLY WORTH?

ICHEOKU, THE LEGISLATIVE BRAWL?

The Nigeria House of Thugs aka Representatives should not upbraid themselves so much just because they truly lived their lives for once; after-all what decency is expected from a bunch of brigands of questionable characters and who lack integrity. Moreover, legislators the world over from time to time, exchange fist-cuffs; so what the big deal if Nigeria learnt. Icheoku says, it is therefore not only in Nigeria that such happenstance takes place periodically; it is not a novelty, so don't over-sweat the small stuff Nigerians. Your (un) elected thuggish representatives fighting and not legislating is no big deal, so get over it.

WHY WESTERN WORLD LIKE PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN?

President Goodluck Jonathan is the first educated president and/or head of state Nigeria ever had; and a PhD presupposes that the holder knows what the heck he is talking about, so they cut him a slack of a benefit of the doubt. Secondly, President Goodluck Jonathan is a native son of the soil of the Niger Delta, the real owners of the proverbial Nigerian black gold, so access through him is free from any encumbrances! Now you know why Jonathan will remain president of Nigeria long after 2011; and if Babangida becomes so much of a problem, he will be solved either through tea or a plane ride?

PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN FIRES BACK AT ETHNIC NORTH?

“We are a country where our leaders tend to play tribal sentiments, saying I am from the South-South; I am from North-west; I am North, I am South, I am a Muslim and I am a Christian. All these are selfish motives to make people who probably cannot compete with others…to use these sentiments." - President Goodluck Jonathan. Icheoku adds, and what did the north even benefit from the 38 years their fellow mallams Balewa, Gowon, Muritala, Shagari, BUhari, Babangida, Abacha, Abdulsalam and Yar'Adua were in power? Yet some northern vampires led by the evil one IBB are once again stoking the northern tribal sentiments to wake up unneeded sentiments against the south. The north is even their own worst enemies - Muritala overthrew Gowon, Dimka killed Muritala, Buhari overthrew Shagari, Babangida overthrew Buhari, Babangida massacred Zango Kataf northerners, Babngida killed Mamman Vasta, Gideon Orkar etc; so which north are we talking about and for which this agitation now martured? Nothing, nada, zilch.

EAGLES COACH LARS LAGERBACK, FIRE HIM NOW FOR LACK OF PERFORMANCE!

He is incompetent, could not qualify his country Sweden for the world cup 2010 and now have botched Nigeria's own attempt to stay the course in South Africa. Icheoku says Coach Lars Lagerback is not technically sound for the big league which the World Cup is all about; and is the reason Nigeria crashed out. So, having failed to perform the condition subsequent for his hire, to lead the Nigerian Eagles to a successful world cup run, Lars Lagerback is in breach of his performance-based contract and should be fired! Icheoku says, fire Lagerback now!

ENUGU STATE NIGERIA SENATORIAL-ASPIRANT SPITS FIRE !

'Education in Nigeria has reached such a rock-bottom low that so many Nigerians are now getting degrees in Zoology but without zoos to work at. A good example is the Enugu Zoo which the former governor and now Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, whose senate seat I am running for, converted to a private real estate and shared them among his cronies. I am running for the senate to help change things and for the better - the pursuit of a more purposeful education policy with specific needs.' - Attorney Benjamin Obiora Nwoye, a candidate of change for Enugu East senatorial seat!

Koman Coulibaly of Mali, THE REFEREE FROM HELL ROBS TEAM-USA VICTORY?

Icheoku decries the black eye given to Africans and black people all over the world by this seemingly 'stoned' referee from Timbuktu who blatantly denied Team USA a well earned third goal in their match against Slovenia. The first time a black man was allowed to officiate in the South Africa World Cup 2010 tournament and this is what the world got? Icheoku asks, is it possible that referee Koman Coulibaly of Mali is an Al-Queida sympathizer who decided to avenge his terrorist-brothers using the instrument of a whistle? Anyway, this droopy-eyes Malian has earned himself the scorn of the world of soccer as an unstable referee who recklessly abused the power of the whistle; or was he under the influence not to have seen the world class goal scored by Edu; and his glassy dreary eyes adds to this suspicion. FIFA should suspend him or at least query him for this inexplicable bad call that put a damper to an otherwise stellar world cup come back by Team USA. Congratulations Howard and the boys for doing us all proud. What an audacity of a come-back and a testament that soccer/football has come to stay in America!

ICHEOKU, OBAMA HAS DONE WELL FOR AND BY THE GULF OIL SPILL VICTIMS !

"Thank you, President Obama, for taking a bunch of rednecks' suggestion and making it happen." - A grateful Tony Kennon, Mayor of Orange Beach Alabama applauding the president's secured $20 billion dollars victims fund from BP. Icheoku says, if only the governors and political leaders of the gulf region could for a moment, throw partisanship out the window and pay a thank you visit to President Obama, for all his visits, commitment and now securing this 20 billion dollars victim's fund for the oil-spill overwhelmed gulf region.

PRESIDENT OBAMA EXTRACTS $20 BILLION VICTIMS FUND FROM BP

ICHEOKU, NORTH KOREA WON BRAZIL?

ICHEOKU, NIGERIA'S WORLD CUP PERFORMANCE CLAIMS VICTIM?

Report reaching Icheoku has it that a father of three, whose heart couldn't take the torment of Lionel Messi led Argentines on the lack-lustre Nigeria World Cup team any longer, gave up the ghost. Late Mr. Peter Agbowa, 56, slumped and died when the Argentines scored the only lone goal of the tournament; having lived on borrowed times as the Nigerian side continuously got pummeled by the mercurial Argentines. Mr. Agbowa hailed from Ukana in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. To the Nigeria Eagles, Icheoku says, this blood is on your head until you wash it off with a better and more improved performance!

ICHEOKU, AFGHANISTAN SOON TO BECOME 'THE SAUDI ARABIA OF LITHIUM?'

ICHEOKU, 'GET THE HELL OUT OF PALESTINE' - HELEN THOMAS!

Helen Thomas yells out the frustration among many watchers of the intractable Israeli-Palestine Middle East crisis; and the fact that she is of a Lebanese descent did not help matters at all. Icheoku to some degree aligns itself with Helen Thomas but instead of moving to Poland, Germany, America or back to the desert as wanderers, they should simply divide the land including Jerusalem into two - the two states solution! But to somewhat suggest that Israelis should 'move to elsewhere' is to deny religious history which put the Jews in the Middle East since the beginning of times? But what a way for the 89 year old war-horse to call it quits with a profession in which she became an institution and for over forty years. Another lesson that some things are better left unsaid; but as always some people will elect to bell the cat!

ICHEOKU, THE GORES ONCE AGAIN PROVE MARRIAGE TOO DAUNTING?

As Al Gore and former wife Tipper call it quits, Icheoku asks, does marriage really work or do married people just put up face because of societal pressure? After 40 years and all the money in the world, with five homes and a private jet including all the fame in the world, one would think that there is nothing else missing to make a blissful marriage in perpetuity possible. But no, the monkey which afflicts the rest of humanity crept in and the rest as they say is now history with regard to the marriage of the Gores made more popular with that PDA kiss on national television? But Icheoku have always suspected that the kiss was choreographed and that there was something plasticity about that political family. As one blogger questioned, who among the parting party will get the "internet" which Al Gore claimed to have invented? Anyway, how is your own marriage working out for you?

ICHEOKU, JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER RESIGNS FOR NOT KEEPING CAMPAIGN PROMISES?

Yukio Hatoyama, the Japanese Prime Minister has resigned his office for speaking before weighing the feasibility of keeping some campaign promises? He had campaigned that Japan will demand equal partnership with the United States of America and also that Japan will ask US out of Okinanawa? Unfortunately, the prime minister realized too late that populist campaign promise is one thing and asking a victor out of a military base is another thing all together. Anyway, PM Hatoyama, at least had the honor to throw in the towel. Icheoku says, but Japan needs that Okinanawa deterrence against the rising Asian power house, China?

ICHEOKU, OBASANJO DISPARAGES HOMOSEXUALITY?

'Homosexuality is an abomination' says Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria. Icheoku asks, what about sleeping with one's own daughter, be it in-law, biological or adopted? May be a grave criminality for which the offender should be lynched, stoned to death; and we are talking about Olusegun Obasanjo's much trumpeted incestous relationship with his daughter in-law, Mojisola Gbenga Obasanjo! It appears that this Otta deity forgot the biblical injunction "thou shall not judge;" but pardon our forgetfulness, Obasanjo is not a true Christian afterall.

ICHEOKU, NORTH CENTRAL ADOPTS JONATHAN FOR PRESIDENT 2011?

ICHEOKU, PDP WINS ELECTION BEFORE IT IS CONDUCTED?

ICHEOKU, SUDAN'S OMAR HASSAN AL-BASHIR SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT FOR LIFE?

As another African strong man cements his stranglehold on the people of Sudan, Icheoku says President Omar Hassan al-Bashir is a by-product of the selective foreign policy of the West in Africa wherein their friends like Egyptian Hosni Mubarak, King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, all the monarchs of north Africa; and some not too good friends like Gaddafi of Libya and Mugabe of Zimbabwe have gotten away with being sit-tight tyrants and for too long? So just one more despot added to this ignoble collegiate of African tyrants could be tolerated by the West? Icheoku also observed that Nigeria's own tyrant Olusegun Obasanjo was among the delegates at the swearing in ceremony, snoring away his life in La-La land while the ceremony lasted? Whether he was in Khartoum to felicitate with a brother-tyrant or on behalf of President Jonathan's Nigeria government, Icheoku has no information to that effect. Anyway, we reserve our congratulations as we do not readily give it to despots and we abhor rulership in perpetuity of any kind, guise or subterfuge!!

ICHEOKU, KWAME KILPATRICK IS "A GENERAL WITHOUT AN ARMY?"

For violating his probation on an obstruction of justice conviction, hiding money that he would have applied towards making restitution to the city of Detroit, former mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick was sent to 5 years imprisonment? According to the sentencing judge, his allocutus fell short of the desired contrition and was too little too late? In the judges own words, the ship has already set sail. Icheoku says, you live and you learn how not to be cocky but truly sorry and contrite for ones mistakes?

ICHEOKU, PAULA ABDUL IS BACK ON REALITY TV !

The show is "Got To Dance," and debuts on CBS in 2011. Adapted from Britain's Sky 1 network of similar name, Paula will serve as lead judge, executive producer, creative partner, mentor, and coach? Icheoku asks is she going to be always as high on something as she was on American Idol? A lady whose removal from American Idol made Icheoku to stop watching that show, as we have always enjoyed seeing her teary eyes, flirty moves as well as her sometimes incoherent gibberish which made for a great TV. Icheoku says goodluck Lady Paula and we can't wait to tune in!

ICHEOKU, PRESIDENT OBAMA'S AUNT GETS ASYLUM?

A fight for political asylum that started in 2002, long before Obama became president has now been finally won by the president's aunt, Zeituni Onyango. The president did not interfere or try to influence the outcome, saying, "he did not know his aunt was living here illegally and believes laws covering the situation should be followed!" Icheoku says, what a thing of honor to do by the president and a judge who did not want to unnecessarily embarrass the president by denying her an asylum? Welcome to America, Auntie Zeituni.

ICHEOKU, OGBULAFOR THROWS IN THE TOWEL?

Our sources confirm to Icheoku that the embattled chairman of the "largest party in Africa that will astride Nigeria for 60 years", PDP, Vincent Ogbulafor has resigned his office? Corruption laden Ogbulafor is facing prosecution for allegedly helping himself with states funds running into hundreds of millions of Naira? Icheoku queries, what about the others, including Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida who has not given account of Nigeria's $12 billion dollars oil windfall seventeen years after a cowardly step-aside? But the war on corruption has to start from somewhere and if with Ogbulafor, so be it.

ICHEOKU, NOTICE NIGERIANS' 'OBAMANIFICATION' OF THE UK?

Icheoku congratulates those three Nigerians who were recently elected to parliament in the United Kingdom. What a history making endeavor and a good positive political vibe, coming on the heels of the Kenyan-father American President Barack Obama. Hopefully, some day, there will also be a British Prime Minister of African or Nigerian decent. Congratulations Chuka Umunna Labour Party's new member for Streathan; Helen Grant of the Conservative Party for Maidstone and the Weard; and Chi Onwura, Labour Party's member for Newcastle Central. The way to go guys!

ICHEOKU, REPS REJECTS OPTION A4?

Nigerian House of Representatives have rejected Option A4 voting method? Icheoku says they have every reason to fear as the same Option A4 shot down the political ambition of the genocidal Yakubu Gowon; who was defeated in his ward in 1993 by a primary school teacher? Those rogue membership of the House of Representatives know that in an open election as Option A4 would guarantee, they stand no chance in hell of ever becoming an (dis)honorable member? They know the game of deceit they are playing with the Nigerian people and like any other thing in life, it has a life span.

ICHEOKU, BEHOLD THE FACE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES SQUARE SUV TERROR!

William Shakespeare was afterall right when he wrote that there is no way to decode one's mind by mere looking at the face! In the most forensic of profiling would be terrorists, Faisal Shahzad will walk away a freeman; as no one will think he resembles what a typical terrorist or terror suspect looks like? Icheoku says, what a frigging coward of the country this lunatic is, who could not pay his mortgage and spent his time hating and planning evil. Damn the terrorists, damn Faisal. We shall not cower; we shall not tremble!?

ICHEOKU, THE VOICE OF METHODIST BISHOPS COUNCIL IS THE VOICE OF NIGERIANS!

ICHEOKU, SOMETHING GOOD FINALLY COMES OUT OF A BAD PDP POLICY?

ICHEOKU, NIGERIANS DEFEND THEIR HONOR AS THEY LASH OUT AT BABANGIDA?

" We must all resist Babangida and any future annulment. Whoever annulled June 12 election is the cause of the problem Nigeria is going through today" - Hassan Sumonu, Former NLC President

"We advocate one man one vote, we therefore protest Babangida's presence here. He annulled the June 12 elections" - Festus Keyamo

"We need a public apology, we need to know why we lost MKO Abiola. and the June 12 mandate. We need to know why Babangida annuled the freest poll in our history " - Joe Okei-Odumakin.

Icheoku says, these honorable Nigerians make us all very proud. Operation stop Babangida's assault of our general sensibilities is a collective campaign which every non-demented Nigerian must participate in and to its logical end. God damn Babangida and his quest to enjoy what he denied MKO Abiola on June 12th! Not under our watch, Nigerians!

ICHEOKU, JONATHAN YIELDS AND SENDS IWU PACKING!

America insisted, likewise many Nigerian opinion leaders and activists alike, and the Acting President Jonathan Goodluck caved in, sacrificing INEC Maurice Iwu? But forgetful as he may pretend to be, this acting president is a beneficiary of Iwu's alleged election malfeasance that brought his government to power without a proper election? Also Iwu's hands were tied by an Olusegun Obasanjo who wanted only a particular outcome as a condition for his unwilling exit. However Icheoku admonishes Iwu for allowing himself to be used and dumped in such a dishonorable, strange manner, tarnishing his name and reputation forever! Regrettably, Iwu did not emulate Professor Humphery Nwosu's example that produced MKO Abiola's June 12th election!

ICHEOKU, IN SUPPORTS OF THE CALL TO BOYCOTT ARIZONA!

The State of Arizona recently passed into law an all white racist law targeting non whites, non blue eyes and non blond haired people for discriminatory racial profiling. There is growing moves by conscionable people to protest such anti-American law with a boycott of the state. Icheoku supports such a move and hereby call on every American as well as tourists world-wide to boycott the apartheid State of Arizona in a similar fashion as was South Africa of yesteryears! America belongs to all and no particular race has an exclusive right to exclude others from a land which hitherto belonged to native Indians. Enough Arizona!

ICHEOKU, BABANGIDA SHOOTS HIMSELF ON THE FOOT?

“Having done it for eight years I can do it again for four. June 12 was a 17-year old mistake. I conducted the best election, I annulled the best election." - Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida. Icheoku says the evil genius is neither intelligent nor versed in the art of political speaking. Imagine the bloody despot comparing his eight years of military dictatorship as a maximum absolute ruler with a democratic presidency where consultations and not fiat rules? Babangida also confessed that June 12 was a mistake but is yet to make any public apology over it or even visit the grave site of MKO Abiola to ask for his personal forgiveness? Lastly he admitted he conducted the best election and also annulled same; which makes him a very conflicted tragic personality, who Nigeria does not want in 2011 or any other time. Away with Babangida!

ICHEOKU, IT IS JIM CROW SOUTH DEJA VU IN ARIZONA?

Governor Jan Brewer signed into law, the most racist law in Arizona; legitimizing racial profiling of so many Americans. Now, anybody who is not Caucasian, blond haired and blue eyed can be stopped at random and asked to prove his American citizenship? In other words, all "the other ones" should stay away from Arizona for their own safety and sanity. Icheoku says, it is Gestapo, the Third Reich and Nazism all put together in one in the arid state of Arizona; and Hitler must be turning in his grave now? Shamelessly too, this Governor Jim Crow of Arizona does not even know what an "illegal immigrant" looks like; and you wonder how this illegal law would be enforced pending it's finally shot down for overreaching? Racist Arizona State!

A NIGERIAN SENATOR IS A CHILD MOLESTER AND RAPIST?

Senator Ahmad Sanni Yerima of Sharia Islamic Northern Nigeria state of Zamfara forcibly took a 13 year old child-wife No. 3 from Egypt? Icheoku asks why is this mullah not in prison for child-abuse, rape and molestation; and he is a Nigerian senator? What a further besmirching of the already in the sewer Nigeria's image. Who is still asking why there are so many girls in northern Nigeria suffering from V V F, depression, anxiety and chronic maniacal disorder when a 60 year old animal is allowed to forcibly conscript a 13 year old innocent child and confine her inside a purdah as his sexual slave? Where are the women group and feminists of this world to protest this senator out of the senate chambers?

ICHEOKU, BABANGIDA IS A DARK CLOUD OVER NIGERIA?

ICHEOKU, ANOTHER DIASPORA NIGERIAN MURDERED IN NIGERIA?

After a twenty one year long sojourn in America, a Nigerian-American citizen decided to visit motherland to check out things personally for himself. But lo and behold, he was murdered! The deceased, Mr. Cyril Amadi, was hacked to death in Omuigwe village, Aluu-Ikwerre, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria; by people suspected to be his kindreds? Icheoku says, another waste and a cold pour on Diaspora Nigerians who want to make good with a visit to and help motherland; only to be so callously wasted and in such a brutal manner!

ICHEOKU, BABANGIDA DID NOT KILL BONGUS IKWUE?

FYI:- one of our minders have written to inform us that Bongos Ikwue is alive and well! Icheoku says, through providence, he was able to survive the murderous rampage of the goons of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida! Our minder is credible and we are not making any further investigation regarding Mr. Ikwue's state of being; but regrets whatever discomfiture our publication as to his death may have caused him and his family. Icheoku sends our regards to our minder, who chose to remain anonymous at this time. However, Babangida being absolved of one alleged murder does not exculpate him from the numerous others he committed while in office, hence Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida remains a killer of Nigerians who belongs to Kirikiri prison and not Aso Rock! Say 'NO' to Babangida 2011 project despair and implosion as he can only rule a Nigeria without the Yoruba south-west!

ICHEOKU, JONATHAN GOODLUCK'S CNN INTERVIEW WAS BELOW PAR?

Icheoku watched CNN Christiane Amanpour's interview of Nigeria's Acting President Jonathan Goodluck, which aired on Sunday, April 18, 2010. Regrettably, it was below par as the PhD holder lacked composure, elucidation and presence of mind befitting a doctorate degree holder and leader of Nigeria? It is our conclusion that either the acting president was timid or shy or was suffering from some sort of complexity being his first international foray outside his comfort zone of Aso Rock and before Lady Amanpour? Of particular note was his bungling of the northern Nigerian Islamic terrorist Farouk Abdulmutallab question, when in answer he started prevaricating on small arms flooding Africa? Icheoku says, Acting President Jonathan Goodluck has a very long way ahead to travel in the mastery of the art of charisma, presentation and speak-engagement? In short he lacked necessary confidence and fidgeted throughout the interview, rubbing his eyes and wiping imaginary stuff off his face while shifting on his seat and legs?

ICHEOKU, SUPPORTING BABANGIDA FOR 2011 IS VERY UNPATRIOTIC!

What a shame that in the search for the leader of Nigeria in 2011, some people have decided to go back to the junk-yard of history to fish out a tired, 71 year old, brain-dead, semi-illiterate, despotic army man to lead the country? Icheoku says if leading presupposes futuristic action, what business then, does Nigeria have going back to a 17 year old garbage to dig up a former criminal government-hijacker to lead them in 2011? It is total insanity; and only a dysfunctional society takes such one step forward and then 17 years backward. In a country of about 150 million people, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida cannot be the only capable hand there is (what if he was dead, gone and forgotten like Sani Abacha); or the brightest bulb in the chandelier of Nigeria? Babangida has nothing to offer Nigeria in 2011, never had in 1985 through 1993; and therefore must be rejected! Just say 'No' to "Babangida 2011" project waterloo; it is DOA (dead on arrival)!

ICHEOKU, MR. SUSPENDERS CALLS IT QUIT AGAIN?

CNN ghost-looking host of Larry King Live, Mr. Larry King has dumped wife No. 7 Shawn Southwick? The former couple recently filed for divorce. Icheoku says serial husband Larry King who is possibly on the prowl for wife-victim No. 8, is getting a break from the biased media being one of them; but when Tiger Wood just had sex with some honey bimbos, still married to his wife, no media gave him any break whatsoever? Icheoku wonders what women find sexy in this ghoulish host except for his deep pockets? If the rumor is true, Larry was caught pants down with his wife's sister?

ICHEOKU, GOODLUCK TO RUN IN 2011?

Reading in between the lines, it is heart-warming to note that Nigeria's acting President Jonathan Goodluck has indicated that he might stand in next year's election? According to his statement, "I said, nobody should ask me whether I will contest election or not. I must first of all see whether the state is moving. If the country is not moving, what what will I tell Nigerians I want to contest?" Icheoku says, the necessary implication is that if the state is moving, then Jonathan might have something to run on? All he will do is to nominate Turai or any of the Yar'Adua's children as his vice president, except President Umaru Yar'Adua recovers enough to continue. Icheoku approves and encourages Jonathan to run to complete the Yar'Adua-Jonathan expected eight years term. Heavens will not fall, provided the populace see some positive changes in their lives - it is power, good roads and security. Moreso anybody but Babangida will be a better option!

ICHEOKU, FLORIDA PASSES A REAL REFERENDUM ON HEALTH-CARE BILL !

Democrat Ted Deutch was overwhelmingly voted 62% against Republican's 35% for US Congress! Icheoku says what a testament to the expected 'routing' the republicans have touted as facing the democrats this November? Unlike the Massachusetts Scott Brown election which was before the passage of the bill and hence no barometer for its acceptance, this victory in Florida coming after the bill was passed is a statement that all those democrats retiring have no reason to fear but should all come back and face some grateful voters! So in the real referendum on health care bill, President Obama and the Democratic Party are alive and well. To Rush Limbaugh and the Republican Party of 'NO', Icheoku says, may the November mid-term elections be brought forward!

ICHEOKU, IWU CAN STILL REDEEM INEC!

"INEC had demonstrated its ability to conduct credible elections in recent past, the elections in Edo and Anambra as well as the April 10 polls in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) considered. I am convinced that the present INEC can conduct free and credible elections, what happened in our previous elections, is just one missing link." - Acting President Jonathan Goodluck. Icheoku says, if it doesn't break don't fix it; just let Maurice Iwu INEC be and allow it a free, unfettered hand to operate and conduct a free and fair election in 2011.

ICHEOKU, AS POLAND MOURNS!

The death of their President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and Polish First Lady Maria and some high ranking military and civilian leaders who died on Saturday, April 10, 2010, when their presidential plane crashed near Smolensk, western Russia, Icheoku says please Polish people accept our condolence! This tragedy is a testament that the presidency and the president of any country is never fused or unified in the person occupying the office? So Nigeria's President Umaru Yar'Adua and his cabal must take note of the fact that they are not indispensable and end the suspense their continued agitation is generating! Life is a vanity!

ICHEOKU, BABANGIDA DARES NIGERIANS, SAYS HE WILL RUN?

Icheoku urges Nigerians to accept his gauntlet and use the opportunity to remind Babangida the evil of his past regime by rejecting him in the polls. However, if he ever 'wins' the presidency; then it will be Nigerians own shame for being a people without any backbone to fight their nemesis; unlike the brave people of Thailand and Kyrgyzstan? What a thumbing of the nose at Nigerians by this evil-genius after all that he did to Nigerians? Dele Giwa, Gloria Okon, June 12th, 419, Mamman Vasta, Gideon Orkar, $12billion Iraqi oil windfall, Ejigbo army officers and the Greek gift of Sani Abacha! If these are not enough atrocities to hang him out to dry in 2011, then Nigerians are retards and have unparalleled capacity to take shit; and hence deserves whatever comes their way as a result! In a country of 150 million people and an army man IBB with no college degree is the best choice for president? Something sure does not look good with this picture?

ICHEOKU, ISRAEL MUST STOP THEIR STONE-WALLING!

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must free himself and his country from their present recoil, and come forth to help America help them. There is no need to avoid the nuclear conference just because they do not want to discuss their nuclear assets. Israel must know that their insult on Vice President Joe Biden is enough already and they must not add insult to injury by standing up President Obama during the upcoming nuclear conference. Icheoku says, Bibi must show up or stand to see the diplomatic chill take a deep frosty turn!

ICHEOKU, A MAN OF GOD FROM HELL?

Convict Anthony Hopkins of Mobile Alabama is supposedly a man of God and evangelist? He killed his wife and mother of eight beautiful children, dismembered her and stuffed her body-parts in a freezer for four long years before it was discovered! The 36 year old 'family terrorist' was additionally convicted of rape, sodomy, incest and sexual abuse a teenage relatives one of whom he impregnanted! Icheoku says what will the world not to in the name of God or is it a sign of end times? Anthony Hopkins is a devil-incarnate giving men of God a bad name!

ICHEOKU, ONE REPUBLICAN NAMED NEWT 'SLOBODAN' GINGRICH?

Mr. Newton Leroy Gingrich said that President Barack Obama is "the most radical president in American history" and oversees a "secular, socialist machine?" Icheoku says, thank God President Obama was only accused of maintaining America's secularism and not trying to turn it into an Islamic republic? The last time Icheoku checked, America is not a religious republic but a land where freedom of religion is paramount? These republicans are so full of it that they will never cease throwing dirt at President Obama and hoping something sticks. And boy, this particular Newt reminds Icheoku of former Serbia's President Slobodan Milosevic!

ICHEOKU, SOUTH AFRICAN REDNECK EUGENE TERREBLANCHE MURDERED!

Eugene Terreblanche, 69, leader of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB), was killed in Ventersdorp in what appears to be a racially motivated killing? Icheoku says, whatever be the case, it is a wrongful death, wrongly timed, at a time so close to South Africa's hosting the world, including a lot of white people, in the biggest soccer fiesta of all times, the world cup! For safety and security reasons of the visiting world, this death should not have occurred, not this time or at any time at all; so the South African authorities must speedily get cracking to prevent such an image-downer from ever happening again and certainly not before the summer world cup. The death of anyone is regrettable, including this extremist white Afrikaneer! Our condolences to his family.

ICHEOKU, AS RUSSIA AGREES TO ASSIST VENEZUELA'S NUCLEAR AMBITION?

Icheoku says, cutting off the nose to spite the face is never a good policy! Russia will be making a big mistake to think that giving Hugo Chavez nuclear technology is a way to get at America? Also Hugo Chavez newly found Kremlin friendship will not do him any good as Fidel Castro tried it in vain for over 50 years? Before Icheoku forgets, were both men speaking Russian or Spanish during this call? Russia, please do not proliferate as it increases the chances of fissile materials getting into the hands of terrorists; and Russia do not want that to happen in view of the black-widows, one of who bombed Moscow train station at just 17 years old?

ICHEOKU, MOSCOW BOMBING SPRINGS IRANIAN NUCLEAR QUEST FORWARD?

The Doku Umarov lead Islamic militants in Chechnya and other regions in Russia's North Caucasus's bombing of Moscow underground trains has 'fortunately' brought the issue of Iranian nuclear effort to the fore of international focus? It shows that these Islamic militants do not care a hue about human lives and if they get the bomb they will use it. Now is time for the world, especially Russia and China to wake up and smell the coffee that the Tehran bomb is not only West-specific! Icheoku calls on the world to unite and take away Iranian's right to nuclear weapon and go to war if that is what it gets down to; including a regime change in Tehran; so that they can join Iraq in marching forward with duly elected governments!

ICHEOKU, SHOULD THE POPE RESIGN?

With the catholic priests sexual abuse scandal now mushrooming into a global occurrence, with some people even calling for Pope Benedict IX to resign over his alleged cover-up and take responsibility as head of the catholic church; Icheoku asks, should he fall on his sword? Also would the church survive this sinful scandal with its reputation intact and washed anew or forever remain tarnished by it? Icheoku advises that priests be allowed to marry as a way to help curb this urge to fulfill a natural occurring biological function of every living thing, which in a way drives this abuse!

ICHEOKU ALERTS, ANOTHER DIASPORA NIGERIAN ASSASSINATED!

A United States of America-based medical practitioner on vacation to motherland has been assassinated? Dr Charles Ndulue was gunned down in Benin City on his way home from a Sunday service by hired killers, who had trailed and pursued him to a point where they shot-out his speeding SUV tires, making him a sitting duck? They then emptied their gun's magazine into him and the rest is now history as it took the police about 4 hours thereafter to secure the crime scene. Icheoku says, as you travel to Nigeria, be very careful or better still DON'T!

ICHEOKU, SHAMELESS AND OPPORTUNISTIC MALLAM JOKOLO?

Al-Mustapha Jokolo, deposed Emir of Gwandu and former ADC to former Head of State, Major-General Mohammad Buhari (rtd) is now crying out loud, complaining and preaching anti-north gospel; and proclaiming southern brotherhood? According to him the north has failed Nigeria and leadership must move to a more competent south! Icheoku says this Isalmist has no moral authority whatsoever to speak for any Nigerian, having himself contributed to the problem with Nigeria? Icheoku adds, before this hot-head mallam would say anything further, he must first tell Nigerians what the contents were of the 53 suitcases he smuggled into Nigeria in 1984 or thereabout, menacingly by-passing the Customs, being ADC to the head of the then ruling junta, Buhari? Until this SOB clears the air on that incident and satisfactorily, it is our position that in addition to being deposed as emir, he should also be banished from Nigeria, the Shugaba way? Now having lost in the power game in Gwandu emirate, he is seeking relevance by seeking rapproachment with the South? It seems to be now too little to late as the train had since moved on without him?

ICHEOKU, IRAQ FINALLY TURNS THE CORNER?

Iyad Allawi, the incoming Prime Minister of Iraq after his Secular Iraqiya Alliance won the election. Icheoku says congratulations Allawi and the Iraqi people for a free and fair election which saw the defeat of a seating prime minister? We urge Prime Minister Maliki to concede the election without further delay and allow Iraq's nascent democracy to grow. It is a new day in Iraq when elections are held and successors take over from the incumbent! The citadel of civilization is once again proving that they can lead the Middle East in democratic governance. Way to go, Iraqis!

ICHEOKU, NIGERIA IS A FAILED STATE?

“Outside there, many people see Nigeria as a failed State. The argument that came up was that if in 2010, we are still killing one another, if in 2010, we cannot guarantee electricity, if in 2010, we cannot guarantee water, if our roads are still bad, our economy virtually comatose, many people talk of these variables as the elements of a failed State?" - Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State! Icheoku says if only this mallam had added that it is his Islamic Sharia Northern people of Nigeria that brought about all these high negatives to the country?

ICHEOKU, LIMBAUGH LOSES AGAIN AS HEALTH CARE REFORM BECOMES LAW!

Redneck Rush Limbaugh, a sworn-enemy of minorities in America, was so sure that the health care reform would fail that he swore to relocate to Costa Rica should it pass? It not only passed, but has become the law of the land with President Obama's signature. But is Rush going to migrate to a third world country; Icheoku does not think so. However it shows that Rush is not as influential as he thinks and does not necessarily sway any real opinion in America. May be he is delusional about his real worth? In 2002 he lost; in 2004 he lost; in 2006 he lost and in 2008 he lost the mother of all loss with the election of President Barack Obama against all odds including his acid vituperation against his candidacy. Now in the battle for the hearts and minds of the American people over the health care reform debate, Rush Limbaugh was once again thumped!

ICHEOKU, ISREAL NEEDS SOME REAL SELF EXAMINATION!

It is utterly disheartening that a people who were once persecuted for who they are, are now visiting similar fate to another people? Icheoku says it is about time Israel is compelled by the world especially America, to make peace with the Palestines and on each other's agreeable terms! Like Kansas City Missouri and Kansas City Kansas, there is nothing wrong with Jerusalem being the dual capital of both people; afterall they were both sired by Abraham? So why the pretended 'we cannot live together?'

ICHEOKU, INEC SOLVES NIGERIA ELECTION FRAUD MYSTERY?

"There is a limit to which a single institution can go to contend with an environment in which a horde of desperate, unrestrained elements are out to ensure that there is no order and that nothing works unless it will advance their political ambition. The challenge before the nation as it prepares for the next round of general elections is to develop a correct political orientation that will be anchored on principle, the interest of the majority and the promotion of the will of the people, not the will of a few big men with means." - Maurice Iwu of Nigeria, INEC Chairman. Icheoku says, well spoken!

ICHEOKU, MEND MUST CEASE AND DESIST!

ICHEOKU, THEY ARE SATANIC?

Senator Joseph Waku calls Soyinka, Falana, Edwin Clark and Dangiwa satanic! Icheoku says, Waku, Tsav and Dabo are the newly reconstituted 'Benue Indigenes Protection Force'; their new attack-dogs who must rabidly attack anyone critical of their folks, including the disgraced former Attorney General Mikey Aondonkaa and the soon to be shown the exit, Madam EFCC Farida Waziri! Regrettably however, it does not matter to these 'senile' semi-northerners that their kinsman/woman are both corrupt and incompetent; with a below par performance average; all that they care for is that both officials are from Benue State aka the Middle Belt? So long for a Nigeria on its head, seriously quaked by blind parochial tribal sentiments?

ICHEOKU, THE LAMIDO ADAMAWA IS DEAD!

Alhaji Aliyu Musdapher, a northern Nigeria Islamic leader and paramount ruler of Adamawa, died of natural causes; he was 88. He was on the throne of his ancestors for 57 long years! Icheoku condoles his people of Adamawa on their great loss. The Lamido Adamawa now joins the list of very few 'patriotic' Nigerian high-ups who did not die in a foreign hospital bed and for this, we commend him for identifying with the common people of Nigeria whose leaders allowed the healthcare delivery system to 'collapse', only for them to jet out to a foreign hospital at the slightest whiff of headache; leaving the masses to their fate? Adieu Adamawa!

ICHEOKU, UTAH REPUBLICAN KEVIN GARN ENGAGED IN VOYEURISM?

ICHEOKU, WHY FULANI KILLED BEROM IN JOS - NIGERA?

"Under the circumstances of what has been happening in Plateau State, some people just have to die. Any society that refuses to be just and fair shall become a jungle where only jungle justice shall operate like the case in Plateau State today. There are some people who are very conversant with the jungle - they sleep with snakes, gorillas and even at night. So if you turn your state to a jungle state, this is what you get.” - Malam Sale Bayari, a Fulani and leader of Sultan's farmers/cattle rearers Association.

ICHEOKU, ACCESS HOLLYWOOD HITS A NEW LOW!

Access Hollywood presenters on March 9, 2010 insunated that Michael Jackson was included in the tribute to Hollywood departed at the 82nd Academy Awards Oscar night simply because he is black? They also questioned the non inclusion of Sarah Faucett when 'even MJ was included', thereby claiming that Faucett was on the same pedestal, if not more, with MJ? Icheoku says, no wonder nobody watches that crap which we mistakenly tuned into while searching for something else better and more insightful to watch. Shame on you Access Holllywood!

ICHEOKU, ANOTHER REPUBLICAN SHITLESS HYPOCRITE!

ICHEOKU, JOS BOILS OVER AGAIN!

ICHEOKU, ANOTHER YORUBA POLITICIAN MURDERED!

Icheoku asks, when shall the political-feud settlement by blood-letting amongst the household of Oduduwa ever let off? Just few weeks after AC governorship candidate Dina Dapo was buried, another Yoruba politician has been brutally murdered by hired assassins. Peoples Democratic Party Chairman for Atiba Local Government Area of Oyo State, Mr. Azeez Adegbile, was killed and his dead body burnt on Wednesday March 3, 2010; while having a night-cap with his family inside his family house? The 'wetie' people and the list continues to grow!

ICHEOKU, AMERICAN DOCTORS ARE COMING FOR YAR'ADUA?

Turai, remember MKO Abiola tea and take whatever remains of your husband and run as fast and as far away as you can, to the hills of Katsina for safety. Aso Rock will not provide him with the much needed fortress when these undertakers come to town to perform the requiem and administer the final rites for your husband's easy passage to meet with his Allah. The Saudis have submitted their report and it is not good, so this coming visit is the Abiola tea-visit rewind, a deja vu! And Turai, these Americans are good at solving political logjams in the best way they know how - fast and painless, get it!

ICHEOKU, CHILE'S MAGNITUDE 8.8 EARTHQUAKE!

Our sympathies for your loss, Chileans. However Icheoku says, an opportunity just called for the newly formed Latin America and Caribbean association, which exclude the United States and Canada, to prove their worthiness by taking the lead in providing necessary assistance needed at this time in Chile. They must not look up north to those "Gringos" to send in their aircraft carrier as well as ocean-going hospitals to Santiago. May be Venezuelan Hugo Chavez will now take this opprotunity to establish himself as the leader Latin America has been waiting for; and for which he had repeatedly maligned and asked America to go home? The time of running off the mouth is over, now is time to put your act where your mouth is, Presidente Chavez; be the first responder, rescue, recover, assist and help Chile at their hour of great need.

ICHEOKU, 96 HOURS LATER STILL NO YAR'ADUA SIGHTING?

Today is day 4 since the purported return of Nigeria's incapacitated President Umaru Yar'Adua from his medical hibernation in Saudi Arabia. Still nursing the unceremonious and traumatic eviction from his hospital bed, the president or whatever is now left of him has embarked on internal hibernation. No one including his vice president and Nigeria's Acting President Jonathan Goodluck has been allowed to see him since his alleged midnight sneaky arrival. Icheoku says, this development can mean one thing, and one thing only: - either there is no president Yar'Adua to see as he is still holed up in Saudi Arabia or he is now a barely living unsightly ghostly skeleton. But whatever happens, the Yar'Aduas should know that a ghostly apparition cannot be allowed to continue to remain the president of Nigeria. Enough, Turai and co!

ICHEOKU, STATES SPONSORED ISLAMIZATION?

Now the world can confirm that all those mosques and minarets enveloping European and North American landscapes, is a covert Islamization of the Western continent. Gaddaffi just confirmed that much with the incontrovertible evidence of his Fatwa on Switzerland, that Middle Eastern Islamic governments are bank-rolling and sponsoring the ongoing fully energised Islamic revival in Europe and North America. What a humilitating psychological Islamisation of the western hemisphere as her governments watch and aloof as her cultures fade away in distant obscurity against an invading rabid Islamic religion?

ICHEOKU, A JIHAD AGAINST SWITZERLAND?

The 'King' of Africa, Moummar Ghaddaffi of Libya has called for the levying of Islamic '(un)holy' war aka JIHAD on Switzerland, including her government and her people? Icheoku asks, is this despotic sit-tight African delusional King smoking hashish again to allow his mouth run this foul? Does he not know that the EU as well as NATO has a policy of 'an attack on one is an attack on all' and that this Jihadi threat will be regarded resolutely by all Europeans? Now, Ghaddaffi, please tell Icheoku how many churches or cathedrals you have allowed or permitted to be built in Tripoli? Make sure that you are not writing a check your sorry arse can't cash! Enough of your vituperations!

ICHEOKU, THE MAN WHO OWNS TOYOTA?

Akio Toyoda, President and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation is the grandson of the founder of Toyota. He was in Washington to say 'sorry' for the hiccups of Toyota. Icheoku says, it is too much ado about nothing, the criticism that Toyota is being specifically targeted to make room for Detroit; since such 'fix it' outcry has been made on Ford Motors after its Ford Explorer brand and Firestone tires debacle.So why this Toyota sentiment; instead Toyota should get off its ass and fix what is broken with their brand! Our only concern is that Japanese people are somewhat too fragile emotionally; and we pray the current Toyota troubles does not push Mr. Toyoda off the cliff or force his hands?

ICHEOKU, DYING UMARU EVICTED FROM HOSPITAL?

President Umaru Yar'Adua of Nigeria has finally been forced out of his hiding place, a hospital bed in Saudi Arabia, back to Nigeria. He abandoned his duty post at Aso Rock for over 80 days without letting anyone know including his vice president as well cabinet members. Nobody in Nigeria was even allowed to visit or see him while intubated in the intensive care unit of the hospital? It took the intervention of the Americans for Saudi Arabian authorities to agree to let him go back to his abandoned country. Icheoku wants to know how many more days he has left, and whether he intends to still govern by proxy of his power-drunk wife, Turai who is the new Lady Macbeth Turai of Nigeria. But this Turai must be told that dead men do not govern and that she should allow Umaru to live out whatever is left of his life in peaceful dignity and not in a public ridicule as a mirage president? The almighty power and the fools, it make of human-beings!

ICHEOKU, THE PARTY OF 'NO' SAYS 'NO' AGAIN!

The Republican National Party aka 'The Party of No' has again said 'no' to a $15billion dollars job creation bill sponsored by the Obama administration. In an economy that is still flagelling, which have seen so many people lose their jobs and still steadily losing their jobs, Icheoku asks, what manner of a people will be against a bill intended to stop this bleeding and create jobs? Only the republicans, whose 'good ole white boys' majority membership are so dizzingly fixated on "that one" that it does not matter to them if the baby is thrown away with the bath-water. It does not matter how good the policy sounds or may be, what they are witnessing as occupant of 'their' WHite House is simply intolerable? Obama is a 'negro-squatter' in their White House and whatever gets him out of that place is good politics; including so many Americans without jobs voting in anger come 2012! These guys are shameless and pathetic indeed!

ICHEOKU, TIGER WOODS APOLOGISES, SO NOW WHAT?

Icheoku wants to know what took Tiger Woods this long to read a script which he could have read when his dalliances-scandal first broke out? Moreso, he did not take any question as Icheoku would have loved to know if his sex-addiction theraphy includes shock treatment to his winnie? Anyway, as we previously advised, TW owes no one but Elin any apology and should have used his time for something else. One thing however, there was no Elin's sighting and his wedding band is also still missing. However, in Africa men marry up to 50 wives, so what the heck if he merely slept with some cheap whores?

ICHEOKU, A WHITE DOMESTIC TERRORIST ATTACKS IRS!

Frustrated and possibly deranged software engineer, Joseph Andrew Stack, flew a plane into an IRS building, and thereby proving that such a terrorist act as was witnessed on 9/11 is no longer an exclusive preserve of Islamic terrorists. Further that what international al-queida terrorist can do, a white domestic terrorist can also do? To the Joe lingos of 'Joe the Plumber' and 'Joe Six-Packs', is now added another Joe, 'Joe the domestic terrorist'? Icheoku only hopes that this Joe goes straight to hell where he will meet the other domestic white terrorist Timothy McVeigh for their re-union party of shed innocent blood. What a shame!

ICHEOKU, DANJUMA DOES NOT NEED HIS $500 MILLION DOLLARS LOOT?

Theophilus Danjuma has finally disclosed how the north shares the loot it pillages from Nigeria. According to this maga-dog genocidal army man, the late midget of Kano Sani Abacha gave him an oil well which he sold for $1 billion dollars? Continuing the narrative, he paid Abacha and his cronies their share of $500 million dollars and kept $500 million dollars for himself? Now the bloody bastard is thumbing his chest over this plunder. The said oil block is OML130 located about 100 miles off the coast of PortHarcourt and has a daily output of about 225,000 barrels of oil or equivalent of 9% of Nigeria's total daily output. Icheoku says, a Danjuma from Taraba State in the north got such an oil well in Rivers State in the south, whereas the people of Rivers State who rightfully owns the oil are not given any oil well? After such blatant public disclosure, who in Nigeria will still blame the Niger Delta militants for blowing things up out of frustration. This explains why the north does not want to ever let go of power because of the easy money it provides them. Money which a typical southerner with a Ph.D and gifted industry, will never ever dream of in a lifetime, while a semi-illiterate army man named Danjuma, a northerner is abundantly reaping a bounty from oil naturally belonging to the people of Rivers State. Say it ain't so, Nigerians!

ICHEOKU, BAYH SAYS BYE TO THE SENATE!

Indiana Senator Evan Bayh has bid farewell to the senate, saying that he will not run for re-election in November 2010? According to him, the bitter partisan divides that have dominated Congress in recent years have taken a toll on him forcing him to make the decision. Icheoku says, it took this senator 12 long years to finally realise that Washington is bitterly partisan? What changed suddenly or is it the same tag-team, surreptiously working to get "that one" out of office? Anyway, best of luck senator!

ICHEOKU, A WALRUS KICKED OFF PLANE?

Actor/film director Kevin Smith threw tantrum because he was kicked out of a SouthWest plane for simply being too fat he could not fit into one single seat? Icheoku admonishes, if you know you are 'way fat', why not do something about it instead of complaining that whales are not allowed to fly on SouthWest airplanes? Have you heard of the "Biggest Loser" lately or better still, stitch your mouth or staple your stomach. But hey, do not hold an airplane hostage because of what you brought unto yourself by indulging excessively!

ICHEOKU, POLITICS WITHOUT BITTERNESS?

Defeated Andy Uba (r) of Labour Party paid a unity-visit to victorious Peter Obi (l) of APGA! Icheoku commends this political gamesmanship as a way to instal lasting democracy. We urge other unsuccessful candidates in the February 6, 2010 Anambra State, Nigeria, governorship election to follow suit, particularly Chukwuma Soludo of the PDP and Chris Ngige of the AC, and in the spirit of one 'Anambra-ness', demonstrate that united we stand! Way to go Andy, and thanks for showing good example of how to play politics.

ICHEOKU, ARE THE YORUBAS REALLY SERIOUS THIS TIME?

"If you cannot move forward with a partner, you should be able to retrace your steps,” so said OPC (Oduduwa Peoples Congress) the Yoruba militant group, regarding the intractable northern Nigerians incessant blood-letting and wanton killing of Southern Nigerians! Icheoku says, if only these people of South West had vision and fore-sight, may be the recurring problem of Nigeria would have since been solved four decades ago; but no, they sabotaged the Biafran effort when they flipped over, advocating "hunger as the best instrument of warfare", resulting in today's more emboldened arrant arrogance of the north! Remorse, regret or what? Anyway, the wait across the River Niger continues!

ICHEOKU, ANAMBRA PEOPLE EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT, VOTE RIGHT!

ICHEOKU, FREE THE TEN AMERICAN BAPTISTS NOW!

The government in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, should as a matter of utmost immediacy, free those ten American baptists, arrested and now charged for "kidnapping" the Haitian 33? Icheoku says, the charge is ridiculous to say the least, since those kids parents admitted giving their children away to these baptists! So where then is the beef; now it is either they comply forthwith or no more aid/help goes into that country, coming out of America! What a crass high handedness by a bunch of fat-heads with misplaced priorities!

ICHEOKU, TEXAS BASED NIGERIAN COUPLE HEADS TO PRISON!

ICHEOKU, BRAVO DORA AKUNYILI FOR STANDING UP!

Once again, Igbos have been made proud by one of their own, Professor Dora Akunyili, who stood up to be counted as the lone voice in the FEC to ask sickly Umaru Yar'Adua to step aside. Like former Chief of Staff Ebitu Ukiwe stood up against the northern establishment mallams in uniforms, Madam Information Minsiter has once again displayed the bravery the Igbo people are reputed for. Icheoku says, if only the rest of Southern Nigerians are as daring, maybe all these northern Nigerian messing around would have since stopped. Way to go, Madam Information Minister, congratulations!

ICHEOKU, THE JOHN EDWARDS OF SOUTH AFRICA!

President Jacob Zuma fathers a love-child and the ANC does not see anything 'shameful' with it? Icheoku says, the thing shameful about it is that he is the president of South Africa and is supposed to show good example to the people. He is a polygamist and committed an adultery by having sex with this baby-mama which is not a sign of a good moral example? Here is a man who is both raw and crude, lacks the urbane of Mandela and the civility of Mbeki; and who instead of governing is busy dipping his manhood in different sized holes in South Africa? What another curse of the African continent in the making which this Zulu warrior is proving to be? What a shame; maybe he should resign the presidency and become a full Zulu King with 1000 wives and 1000 concunbines?

ICHEOKU, LADY GAGA GOES COMPLETELY CUCKOO?

What an outrageous outfit on a non-sexy skeletal body-frame? Icheoku condemns this whore-like attire as too explicit; and says Lady Gaga have now pushed the button too far and should be held accountable. Better still, she should change her name by removing the 'Lady' therein and replace it with 'Nudist' or 'Stripper' Gaga' since none of her acts is ever lady-like! Some ladies which Icheoku know, do not exhibit their crotch so unabashedly, blatantly and disrespectfully that it loses its appeal and value. Where are those Adam Lambert's bashers and it is instructive that children were watching the Grammys 2010 too!

ICHEOKU, AS IT HAPPENS!

"2 more Nigerians out of a population of about 150 million Nigerians" have again been arrested in Malaysia for “acts of terrorism”? May be they were just trying to prove Nigerian government officials wrong and that northern Nigerian international terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was not just one stray cat or the only Nigerian terrorist out there? Admitted he blazed the trail as the first internationally recognised Nigerian terrorist; yet the government is arguing that Nigeria is not a "terrorist state" and should not have been designated as a terrorist "country of interest"?

------------------------------------

Also the human-rabbit mom of Arkansas, Michelle Duggar has delivered her 19th litter, named Josie! Icheoku says, this baby-factory and her horny-dog husband's heads need to be examined!

ICHEOKU, FROM OSAMA TO OBAMA WITH HATE!

The world-wide face of terrorism, Osama bin Laden has acknowledged that he sent the Northern NIgerian terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on his failed death-mission to Detroit. Icheoku says, that now completes Umar's resume as an enemy combatant and terrorist deserving the almighty lethal injection? Needless to mention that the senior Mutallab and suspected terrorism sponsor, turned down an invitation by the United States senate committee on foreign relations to show up and throw more light on his son's terrorism.

ICHEOKU, NORTHERN NIGERIAN TERRORISTS ARE BACK!

Northern Nigerian terrorists, under the guise of religious zealotry/fanaticism have so far killed 460 Nigerians, without any justification except the spread of their gutter religion! Icheoku condemns this incessant, wanton wastages of human lives and call on the authorities of Jos and Nigeria to do something drastic to forever excise this cancer of terrorism, masquerading as religious riots. What kind of stupid religion approves the killing of God's children and supposedly under Allah/God's name? If it means banning certain religious sects in Nigeria, so be it; but enough of these recurring madness!

ICHEOKU, A HAITI ON ITS BACK NEEDS YOUR HELP!

With 200,000 people dead, 250,000 wounded and another 1.5 million people displaced, hungry and homeless; Icheoku says, Haiti is crying out loud for your immediate attention. There are so much work to be done to keep the living alive and the dead disposed? So please call 1-800-RED-CROSS today to contribute to the effort to help a traumatised Haiti get a handle on what happened. A 7.3 earthquake is rather too cruel a hand dealt by mother-nature on such a poor nation, that was already down and out before the catastrophy struck? Thanks for helping out!

ICHEOKU, A NIGERIAN OFFICIAL FINALLY DIES IN A LOCAL HOSPITAL?

Surprise, surprise; a former Nigerian government official died in a local hospital in Nigeria? Icheoku says, it is unbelieveable that former Governor of Niger State Dr Musa Inuwa would allow himself to die at a local Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika, Niger State? What changed or was he too sick to also run off or be flown to a foreign hospital somewhere in the world, only to eventually die there and have his cadaver shipped back to Nigeria as a cargo, for burial? Anyway, our condolences to his family.

ICHEOKU, CONSERVATIVES ARE MEAN & INSENSITIVE PEOPLE!

The flag bearer of American conservatism, Rush Limbaugh has shown once again why President GW Bush ran for president on grounds of compassionate conservatism! Rush Limbaugh and co conservative 'man of devil' Pat Robertson, by their utterances on Haiti in anguish, showed how horrible and inhumane that ideology is. Rush Limbaugh's hatred for dark-skinned people which he shows daily by his unceasing and unwarranted attack on President Obama has now gone international? His disdain for the 'black' President prompted him to condemn the "rush to help Haiti pick up the pieces"? This is a below the par hateful racist's comment. Icheoku says these people have no blood in their veins; they are ugly, vicious, uncaring, unfeeling and would rather every black person on earth dies off and leave the world for their pale-skinned white folks?

ICHEOKU, LOST BUT FOUND AND ALIVE UMARU?

President Umaru Yar'Adua of Nigeria was found alive by a foreign media in a foreign hospital in Saudi Arabia? Does this make the Saudis liars since they had earlier denied having Yar'Adua in their land? Yar'Adua said he was making 'a good recovery' and will return to Nigeria as soon as his doctors discharge him to resume his duties. Icheoku says, the voice sounded Yar'Adua-ish and we urge his minders to now make a visual of him available. Also why did it take a foreign media to locate and interview a Nigeria's previously missing president when AIT and NTA could have been given the scoop? Only in Nigeria where foreign is always better!

ICHEOKU, IT IS CALLED TOUGH-LOVE, JUBRIL AMINU!

Professor Jibril Aminu is wondering out loud why Nigeria is not having it easy with President Barack Obama's administration? According to him, the administration "does not like Nigeria, as Nigeria had it better under Clinton and Bush than under our fellow brother from Africa, Obama".

Icheoku says, the simple answer is that Obama wants Nigeria to succeed, hence his stick and carrot approach! Being an African himself, he is ashamed at the apology that is Nigeria, which have suffered stunted growth despite every potential to be great. Unlike the previous governments which merely saw Nigeria as a source of their oil, President Obama sees a potential giant that needs to wake up, get off its butt and thrive. Obama is determined to do just that, hence the ensuing discipline! President Obama does not dislike Nigeria, but is only pushing Nigeria to succeed; employing his 'spare the rod and spoil the kid' philosophy to achieve this objective. Get it Professor!

ICHEOKU, FATHER OF THE TERRORIST IS COMING TO AMERICA?

Icheoku says, barring a congressional immunity Dr. Umaru Mutallab should be arrested upon his upcoming arrival in the United States, to help explain how much support he has given to Islamic terrorists all over the world and over the years? His alleged report of his son to the authorities is quite suspicious. At what time relative to his son's spanned extremism did he make this alleged report. His own known support for Islamic charities is also troubling. Therefore with such many red-flags, he has a case to answer and should be picked up upon entry.

ICHEOKU, THE AIR-HEAD GETS HIRED AT FOX!

Fox News Network has hired former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, whose over-sexed daughter Bristol is in court with her baby daddy Levi Johnston over child support payment? Icheoku says, Sarah 'beauty and no brain' Palin is eminently qualified to work at Fox, she meets all the requirements, including being very dumb, an extremist and an agenda driven vixen! Like the rest of the not so well-informed Fox rat-pack, Sarah now joins Mike Huckabee as part of the recovering republicans who now call Fox home. Remember Karl Rove gets on their tube periodically. If Icheoku may suggests, let Sarah's show be called 'Lipstick on a pitbull".

ICHEOKU, JUBRIL AMINU SUPPORTS TERRORISM?

"Americans are the architects of their own security problems and drowning popularity, borne out of their foreign policy in the Middle East, where they are noted for taking sides with the Israelis against the Palestinians!" - Senator Jubril Aminu of Nigeria. Icheoku asks, is this man trying to rationalise terrorism? The chairman of NIgeria's senate committee on foreign affairs and who allegedly indulged himself in a $12million SIEMENS bribery has once again shown that Islamic sharia Northern Nigeria is not any different from other terrorist Islamic countries of the world, and his people gave the world the curse known as Abdulmutallab!

ICHEOKU, NIGERIA'S INVISIBLE PRESIDENT?

President Umaru Yar'Adua is telepathically running Nigeria from an undisclosed location somewhere in the Arabian desert! Rumour has it that he is being attended to by a marabout, western medicine having failed to fix what is broken inside his body? If you find him, please tell him to return back to Nigeria immediately as there are so many important state-matters needing his presidential attention, including his cousin's terrorist act against the United States for which Nigeria is now branded a "terror country of interest!" Courtesy of the BBC, Umaru Yar'Adua has earned the title of "an invisible president of Nigeria."

ICHEOKU, NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT STILL MISSING?

Almost two weeks since his Katsina State cousin tried to blow up an American passenger plane in Detroit, President Umaru Yar'Adua of Nigeria is still in incommunicado and in an undisclosed location. A place not even known to his vice president Jonathan Goodluck somewhere supposedly in Saudi Arabia? But the Saudis have denied any knowledge of Umaru's whereabout which begs the question, where then is Nigerian ailing president? Icheoku wonders how the recently conferred 'terrorist state' is coping in the absence of a clear central authority at the helm of affairs therein? So where is the AWOL president of a country at the cross-hairs of international anti-terrorism initiatives?

ICHEOKU, WHAT WE ARE ABOUT!

Once again, it has become imperative for us to re-emphasis that we are not reporters nor do we do stories. No, we are commentators! We are a global platform for political and social commentary; we comment on political and social developments and events, including news and stories already reported and written. Our 'focus' is 'our take' on what is, which to some 'warped minds' may appear as a "regurgitation of what has already been written in other newspapers?" That "dose" of our perspective is what we bring to the table at www.icheoku.com. So for those critics who do not know exactly what we do or pretend they don't, now you know what we are about at http://www.icheoku.com/.

ICHEOKU, AFRICAN-WOMEN-AWARNESS IN DC ALERT!

ICHEOKU, MARK AND BANKOLE CAN BREAK THE IMPASSE?

NIgeria tithering on the precipice and held hostage to President Umaru Yar'Adua's sickness, can be set free if only the Senate and the House have the gut to do what is necessary. Icheoku says, admitted Yar'Adua does not want to yield power because power is intoxicating; but NIgerians can take back what they gave to him - the power! Just declare his extended absence in Saudi Arabia an abdication of office and yank away those powers, simple! But unfortunately, David Mark and Oladimeji Bankole are both collaborators and so, Nigerians will have to wait until hell freezes over for the fog of uncertainty in the presidency to lift off.

ICHEOKU, THE ROUTING IS NOW COMPLETE!

With the taking over of the chairmanship of the PPPRA by the former chairman of the PDP, Dr. Ahmadu Ali, Icheoku laments that the routing of southerners by the northerners in the control of Nigeria's oil sector, which ironically is in the south, is now complete?

These northerners, do they have any sense of fairness at all, one may ask? The Petroleum Minister is a northerner, NNPC Managing Director is a northerner and now the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Authority has also been hijacked by yet another northerner! Whether this is due to the arrogance of the north or the complacency of the south, Icheoku is yet to conclusively figure out; but it does not look good or seem to be fair and/or reasonable! Something ought to and should yield in the interest of a harmonious existence.

ICHEOKU, TEXAS WOMAN CHARGED WITH 911 ABUSE!

A 53 year old Kerryville-Texas woman called 911 because her husband refused to eat his dinner and is now charged with 911 abuse? Icheoku says, holly molly; when we think we have heard it all with a woman calling 911 by 2.00am because her son will not put down his Nintendo game and go to bed; and another because McDonald's ran out of her favorite fish mack and chicken nuggets; now this woman called 911 just because her husband will not eat? What if her food was not apertizing enough or the husband had eaten outside? Wonders shall never end and it is in Texas, again!

ICHEOKU, NIGERIA WE HAIL THEE?

15 long years after the government of Nigeria made a gift of houses to Nigeria's victorious national team, in 1994 Tunisia Africa Nations Cup, the players-beneficiaries are yet to receive or even know the location of their now turned "Greek-gifts" houses? Icheoku says, what a dysfunctional nation, under seige by a discredited and rudderless leadership, who are very big on promises but coy on fulfilling them. Where then lies the incentive for another performance in South Africa 2010 FIFA world cup? What a shame!

ICHEOKU, UGANDA IS THE NEW WATERLOO FOR SAME-SEX PEOPLE!

Being gay is not so cool in Uganda, where same-sex persons will soon begin to face the death penalty? Icheoku condemns this intolerance as homophobic, barbaric, a misplaced pandering and an abuse of powers in a country where corruption runs very high, and people are starving and dying of basic necessities! Instead of protecting the rights of these minorities, the government is becoming an instrument of terror, festering hate and approving the taking of life of people who simply choose differently? Another black eye on the African continent, definitely!

ICHEOKU, THUMBS UP FOR ACF!

" In the event of any need to engage in the politics of succession, it is the position of the ACF that the provisions of the Nigerian constitution should remain the only effective guide for the process." - Arewa Consultative Forum on the possible succession of the indisposed President Umaru Yar'Adua!

Icheoku commends this ACF magnanimity and says, such audacious position shows that there is still some shimmer of hope for a Nigeria at cross-roads. Way to go, Arewa! It also shows that northerners may not necessarily be the monster they are made out to be, what say you?

ICHEOKU, TEFLON-DON JAMES ONANEFE IBORI WALKS!

Imagine none of the 170-counts charge brought against him for corruption, abuse of office and money laundering stuck? A seemingly compromised judge, Justice Marcel Awokulehin dismissed the entire case for 'lack of merit;' and thereby canonised Ibori into an "innocent Saint Ibori"? Did the judge also apologise to Ibori for the inconvenience of the 'nuisance sham-trial?' Imagine the quantum of frustration at the EFCC to see yet another one of their effort at fighting corruption in Nigeria go up in flames; sabotaged and frustrated in this cavalier manner by a judge who now appears to aid and abet criminality?

ICHEOKU, NIGERIA SUPREME COURT SAYS TO SOLUDO "YES YOU CAN!"

The yo-yo, roller-coaster, stop and go, that is Anambra State PDP governorship candidacy of Soludo once again received a greenlight to proceed. The supreme court overruled the court of appeal's earlier ban and now says, Soludo is it! Icheoku says, what Tony Anenih wants, Tony Anenih gets; and so the PDP might as well proceed and swear-in Soludo as the next governor of Anambra State; instead of taking Anambraians through another charade of an election, only to later impose him on the state as the governor notwithstanding the fact of the vote-cast and the wishes of the electorates!

ICHEOKU, 'NOBODY CAN TAKE AWAY YAR'ADUA'S POWERS'?

"God has bestowed leadership on Yar'Adua and nobody can take it away from him. We only need to pray for him fervently, for him to get well soon and continue with the good work he is doing in the nation." - Sultan of Sokoto Sadiq Abubakar.

Icheoku says, what an arrogant statement by the turban-wearing leader of Nigerian Muslims that Yar'Adua's presidency is non-negotiable? Yes, 'no one can remove him', but at least the constitution can, should and will eventually take away Yar'Adua's powers! What 'good work' is this Sokoto mullah talking about here; or is he just protecting his golden goose?

ICHEOKU, YAR'ADUA SHOULD ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION!

"So, no one should view calls that the President should invoke Section 145 as not meaning well for him. I must emphasise that the office of the President is a creation of the constitution. His powers, tenure and everything about the office of the President are creations of the constitution. So, it would not help for constitutional government if we do not act according to the terms of the constitution when the need arises and we bring in all sorts of arguments and speculations to scuttle the issue.

"Many would look at the idea of the President handing over power as un-African. But I think we are not talking about Africanness, Nigerianness and tradition. He is not a traditional ruler, who should be in office for life and who would depend for his tenure on some oracular divination or what have you. I think strictly, the President should run the office and those who advise him must do things in accordance with the constitutional provision." - Professor Auwalu Yadudu

ICHEOKU, "THERE IS NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE FOR ANYONE TO ASK FOR THE PRESIDENT'S RESIGNATION?"

ICHEOKU, SOLUDO'S IMPOSITION UNHEALTHY FOR DEMOCRACY - DAVID MARK?

ICHEOKU, IRAN DESPERATELY CRAVING FOR "RAIN OF FIRE?"

Baiting the west once again, the Iranian authorities have confiscated Nobel Peace medal of Laureate Shirin Ebadi, the Iranian human rights lawyer? Icheoku says, the rogue regime of Tehran is now upping the ante:- they are in addition, still holding three Americans hostage and have also refused to end their nuclear ambition. No sane person reasons with fundamentalists since they are incapable of reasoning; and they hold stubbornly-steadfast to their views, no matter the superiority of the opposing argument. So, enough of these provocations and let the bombs start falling, in Tehran, that is!

ICHEOKU, ACTIVIST BISHOP WITHHOLDS BODY OF CHRIST FROM A GOOD PARISHIONER!

Bishop Thomas Tobin, Icheoku ask you, why? What about the injuction of Christ that he who is well have no need of physician? During the last supper, Jesus never questioned the disciples about their righteousness before asking them to partake of his body, so why you? Please do not play politics with the body of our Lord Christ. Representative Patrick Kennedy was not the court that decided Roe v. Wade! We are not aware of actions taken by you against death penalty in America; but now you are being coy with the wafer. Vatican should call this overzealous bishop to order and ask him to restore Mr Kennedy's communion rites immediately! Little wonder the number of catholics are fast dwindling.

ICHEOKU, OFF HE GOES YET AGAIN TO HIS OTHER ASO ROCK, A HOSPITAL BED IN JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA!

ICHEOKU, A U-TURN OF A LOSER!

"I regret fighting against the future that was Biafra, during the Nigeria-Biafra civil war" - Rtd. Lt. General Alani Akinrinade?

Icheoku says, what a useless and belated epiphany; now that he and his people of the South West are beginning to feel what Biafra felt 42 long years ago. The nemesis of Nigeria, arrogant Hausa-Fulanis of Northern Nigeria is the main problem with Nigeria and ought to be solved without further delay.

But what a pretentious fake love for Biafra, coming from Alani so late and after being in denial for too long? What a shameless old genocidal general who is now realising what Biafra saw several decades ago!

ICHEOKU, AS HUGO CHAVEZ OPENS ANOTHER WAR FRONT?

The rabble-rousing President of Venezuela has ordered his country's armed forces to prepare for war against Colombia and by extension United States of America?

Icheoku asks, is he serious and why now that President Obama is trying to end our two other wars? Why try to open another conflict on this hemisphere or are the Russians smarting for a showdown by proxy?

What ever happened to the envisaged new world peace, Mr. Hugo Chavez? Our advise, think through your action and remember that both in logistics and geography that Venezuela is not analogous to the mountains of Afghanistan and will prove a far lesser challenge, should the avoidable happen. Be careful of what you wish for, Mr. Chavez!

ICHEOKU, PA SIMEON SOLUDO RELEASED BY KIDNAPPERS!

"To God be the glory, my father has just been released by the kidnappers! We are emboldened by this experience to dedicate our life to the service of our fatherland and to find lasting solution to the problem of kidnapping. Those who sought to break our will must be told that the wind of change in Anambra is unstoppable. Please join us in thanking God." With these words, Professor Chukwuma Soludo happily announced the release of his kidnapped 79 old father.

Icheoku says, may be Anambra State commissioner of police knew what he was talking about when he directly fingered Chris Uba over the incident. Also could the threatened expulsion from PDP of the 21 recalcitrant governorship candidates have forced this release? Anambra State, the eyesore of Igboland politics!

ICHEOKU, WHAT A SUDDEN EPIPHANY OF INEC CHAIRMAN?

"The concept of the African big man still exists – a lord whose word is law and to whom all those around him must bow; and who single-handedly picks all candidates for a political party in all elections. For these autocratic democrats, elections must be won at all cost. Every weapon - money, influence, intimidation, blackmail, media assault and physical violence, must be deployed to ensure that the big man is not disgraced" - Professor Maurice Iwu.

Icheoku says, everybody is now piling on the deity of Otta, Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo!

ICHEOKU, KIDNAPPERS NET A VERY BIG FISH IN PA SOLUDO!

Pa Simeon N. Soludo, the septuagenarian father of the PDP imposed governorship candidate for Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has been kidnapped!

The 78 year old Pa Soludo was taken from his village of Isuanioma-Isuofia, Aguata, Anambra State, Nigeria; on the evening of Tuesday October 27, 2009 at about 6.00pm.

A whopper of a ransom of 500 million naira is now being demanded for his release!

Goodluck and Goodnight Anambra State. It is finished for this pain in the butt of Igbo politics. Icheoku says, it is going to be one heck of a nightmare, of cataclysmic proportion, come February 2010 governorship election in the state.

ICHEOKU, HIS ELECTABILITY AS PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA IS NOW DRASTICALLY REDUCED?

"IBB is a very good Nigerian with a good heart. If most Nigerians were like IBB, Nigeria would have been a better place to be?" - Orji Uzor Kalu.

Icheoku disagrees into-to and queries, does a person with a good heart kill people; Dele Giwa, Mamman Vasta, Gloria Okon, Gideon Orkar etc? What about June 12? To Orji Uzor Kalu, Icheoku says, anyone who pours ecomiums on IBB needs to have his head examined. And for doing this, you just shot yourself on the foot and thereby decreased further your chances at the presidency which is now drastically reduced. If "most Nigerians were like IBB," Nigeria would have since turned into a boneyard! What a shame, putting your foot in your mouth and in this way!

ICHEOKU, WHEN THE MOUTH SPEAKS EVIL!

Icheoku says, it is highly demeaning and abominable for any sane person to dare to place Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo and his curse of Nigerians, President Umaru Yar'Adua, in the same league or pedestal with the world bests, Nelson Mandela and President Barack Obama!

It is also very sacrilegous to call Obasanjo and Yar'Adua role models? For this blasphemy, may the mouths of Hassan Danbaba of the University of Jos and Isah Salomi of the Federal College of Education Okene be washed with soap and bleach for cleansing. Both novitiates spoke at the 2009 Millennium Development Goals workshop held at Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria!

ICHEOKU, WHAT AN ARROGANT GUFFAW?

“Nobody can remove us from the country. People should stop saying that we in the North are parasites!" - Alhaji Aminu Dantata.

Icheoku retorts, but what are you people if not conniving parasites who always gang up to shake Nigeria down? Remember that the hatred fuelling the agitation for you people to just go away to the sahara desert is not only coming from the south as Gideon Orkar once nearly succeeded in putting you where you rightly belong. Today's near comatose state of Nigeria is a testament to the harm you people have wrought on Nigeria. We pray that your sins shall catch up with you and soon.

ICHEOKU, CONGRATULATES GHANA BLACK SATELLITES!

ICHEOKU, A DERANGED DICTATOR OF ARGENTINA?

Opposition to the government, termed dissidents, were rounded up, tortured, drugged and handcuffed; they were then loaded on cargo planes and flown out to sea. At about 10,000 feet altitude, over the south Pacific sea, the planes' cargo bay were lifted up and these human-beings were then forcibly thrown out of the plane into the seas, where they permanently disappeared, without any trace!

It was during the 'dirty war' years betwen 1975 to 1981, conducted by Argentina dictator, General Galtieri and his gang, including General Jorge Rafael Vidale. If you think this is a fiction, wait until you have asked the families of the 30,000 Argentines who disappeared during the "Flight of Death" over the Pacific; and who did not survive the dark days of the former dictator.

ICHEOKU, IGBO READY TO FIGHT FOR PRESIDENCY?

"By 2015, the issue of zoning Nigeria's presidency should be abolished considering the kind of crisis they have there in the South. They have it in Anambra State, and we cannot continue to wobble like that in this 21st century. We should get the best Nigerian from anywhere to lead us by 2015. Luckily the South-West has had it for eight years under Obasanjo; the North is having it now for another eight years. It has balanced" - Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu, Youth Leader, Dr. Olusola Saraki-led Northern Union and member Arewa Consultation Forum!

Icheoku says, it is deja vu 1966 as the north has started their evil machination to frustrate Igbo's turn at the presidency of Nigeria? The other time one Alhaji advised the Igbo to get their act together and prepare to give Nigeria a candidate in 2016, he was heavily rebuked by his fellow mallams? Icheoku asks, Igbos what will you do, come 2016?

ICHEOKU, FEMI FANI KAYODE CALLS OBASANJO A LIAR?

"Obasanjo told me that a new Nigeria where all tribes and religions were regarded as equal was now being re-established and built by him. He told me that there would be no more master and servant or horse and horse rider as long as he was in power." - Femi Fani Kayode!

Icheoku says, such assertions made Olusegun Obasanjo the lying scoundrel he is; except if you were vacationing in planet Mars during his eight years of ignominous, draconian regime in Nigeria between 1999 to 2007. Odi, Zaki Ibiam, Igbo business interests, Bakassi, etc all bear very far-reaching, testimony to Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo's ruthlessness, apparent 'horse-rider' status and his arrogant display that his tribe was more equal than the others!

ICHEOKU, PDP IS A FRAUD!

PDP's lack of internal democracy, propensity for autocracy, wanton and wilful imposition of candidates on Nigerians, has made it a complete fraud. Icheoku asks, on what basis was Chukwuma Soludo specifically hand-picked as the PDP governorship candidate for Anambra 2010?

What brand of democracy is this, if not the same Olusegun Obasanjo's type, that midwived and imposed sickly President Umaru Yar'Adua on Nigerians? Icheoku asks the "evil" people of Anambra State to reject this insult by not voting on February 2010, for such a product of illegitimacy, gangsterism and crass-rigging!

ICHEOKU, NIGERIA SHOULD OVER-TURN THEIR OWN ALFANO LAW TOO!

ICHEOKU, WHY WE WRITE - THE FINAL EPILOGUE!

We are fully aware of concomittant risks involved in trying to help rid societies of their bandits, but we are encouraged by the time-tested statement of Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka that 'the man dies in him who keeps silent in the face of tyranny!'

Be that as it may and since every mortal shall die, that particular possibility of a man-caused, silencing sudden death is no longer the driving force of our life's actions. We can no longer hold ourselves hostage to the prospect of a probable sudden death geared towards silencing criticism? What is very important however, is not that one died but what that one died for? And if it is in an attempt to affect positive changes, then may it come now!

Our Lord Jesus Christ died that we may be saved. Martin Luther King Jr died that Barack Obama could become president. Nelson Mandela's youthful 27 years of life was killed behind the walls of Robin Island prison, that South Africans could become free. So what about you? Are you making any difference in a life somewhere, someplace?

Therefore, ask yourself, is your cowardly silence in the face of mounting societal rape and brigandage, enough to keep you in this world in perpetuity? Is this enough inducement to mortgage your conscience into a slavish silence while things go awfully and terrribly wrong? Icheoku says, we do not think so, and that is why we write. Tough love, that is!

Now you know our mission; and should the unfortunate ever happens, please just remember us for what we tried to do - help to enthrone a better society for all!

ICHEOKU, IT IS FINISHED FOR NIGERIA?

“Nigeria has encountered damaging effects of corruption. Our economy has been ruined, our hopes for greater tomorrow have been dashed, and corruption has created an unstable political environment and destroyed our sense of probity, accountability and transparency in government. Inefficiency, dishonesty and all sorts of vices which are bi-products of corruption constitute the biggest obstacle to national development.” - Michael Aondoakaa, Nigeria's Attorney General & Minister of Justice!

Icheoku says, and this man is still serving in Yar'Adua's government; when he has not made any tangible effort to prosecute many corrupt officials, but only shields them? Mike Aondoakaa aids and abets corruption in Nigeria, and hence should be fired! President Umaru Yar'Adua, fire Aondoakaa now!

ICHEOKU, THE KING IS BLOOD THIRSTY?

ICHEOKU, SOME FACTOID ABOUT NIGERIAN POLICE!

Nigeria has 377,000 police men and women! 100,000 of them guard a few 'special' individuals, numbering about 10,000 people! The remaining 277,000 are left to police the entire remainder of 139, 990,000 of the population? Statistically, the ratio comes to about 10 policemen to every 1 top-heavy Nigerian; while the lesser mortals' security needs is served by an average ratio of 1 policeman to about 50,540 Nigerians? Do the math and tell Icheoku why the security situation in Nigeria will not be as hopeless as former Baquba-Iraq or Western Waziristan-Pakistan or Helmund-Afghanistan or one other hell-hole somewhere in this planet earth?

ICHEOKU, ON THE MARBLE!

"No country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves...No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20 percent off the top..No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery... That is not democracy, that is tyranny, even if occasionally you sprinkle an election in there.. and now is the time for that style of governance to end." - President Barack Obama, speaking July 11, 2009, in Accra-Ghana and possibly throwing a jab at Nigeria?
