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

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

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

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

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

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

A HERO IS BORN.

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

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

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

WORD!

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

NOW, YOU KNOW.

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

JUST THE FACT.

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

DO YOU?.

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

Never get in bed with a woman whose problems are worse than yours. - Chicago PD.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


MAGA LIVES ON: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER!

TWITTER IS BORING WITHOUT HIS TWEETS. #RestorePresidentTrump'sTwitterHandle.


WORD.

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

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

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


RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

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


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

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

EVIL CANNOT BE TRULY DESTROYED.

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


ONLY THE POOR WISH THEY HAD STUFF?

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

YOUR SUNDAY WITH PROPHET M.K.O. TIBETAN!


Today Sunday October 26th, 2008 Icheoku.com brings to you part two in our new series "YOUR SUNDAY WITH PROPHET M.K.O. TIBETAN"! This man of God writes on whatever subject he deems topical and Icheoku will merely publish same seriatim without any input whatsoever since we are not all that versed in the ways of God to have an opinion. Today, Prophet Marcus Korodele Oluwatomisin writes on "WHAT IS YOUR NAME". Please enjoy his perspectives:
******At birth a child is either male or female and in some cultures the child is given a name after eight (8) days. For example a one time child named Nelson Mandela and another named Martin Luther King Jr. There are some children who came with their names at birth such as twins, triplets and those born at Christmas or other festivals/events. As a child grows, he/she passes through kindergarten, primary, secondary and perhaps tertiary institutions of higher learning. Upon completion of studies, he or she may acquire another insignia such as doctor, lawyer or pilot etc. Subsequently those names and titles may narrow down to either good or bad, capable or incapable; efficient or inefficient etc - See Isaiah 3: 10 - 11.
For example, if a monkey travels abroad in company of a priest as his pet for thirty-two (32) years, upon return, the monkey's ticket will still be tagged "monkey" amidst the tickets of other passengers. In other words, the monkey returns home as monkey no matter the length of time it stayed abroad. Speaking closer home about Nigerians, experience has shown that rushing off to overseas in search of greener pastures and other learning does not always translate to an urbane civilized highly disciplined mind. Sometimes at parties or events those Nigerians abroad arrive very late to the event each claiming "African Time" as the excuse for being late which sometimes may be as late as four hours. Unfortunately these Africans who have been living in the midst of Europeans and Americans refused to learn from them how to keep time and to have meaningful value for time and life. Their original name, third-world countries" continue to follow them wherever they go under the sun like a snail dragging its shell. That is what is in a name!
The final name every person will bear is deceased! Fortunately there is no amount of money one can have to avert this name-tag. See also II Samuel 14:14; Genesis 3:19. At the last hour, the deceased will be named R.I.P. (rest in peace).
Now going back to the two names we started our conversation with - Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., and President Nelson Mandela. The former had a vision that both Americas and African Americans shall live and work together as fellow compatriots adding that he may not live to witness it and he did not live to witness it. The prophesy is nearing full fulfillment with the imminent election of Barack Obama - the first African American to stand real chance at the White-house. The latter stood up squarely against oppression of his people and gave them freedom but lived to see it. Both men were destined by their names for the roles which has immortalized them in history. So while some people by their names are achievers other names suggest mediocrity. So as you struggle thorugh life, doing your best with little return on investment, ask yourself, could it possibly be that your name is the cross which burdens you?

Till next week when I shall be with you again, remain blessed and please note that I will be on assignment overseas through the end of November 2008. Until then, if you are desirous of any immediate attention, please try any of my numbers in Ireland: 353861033987; London 07903093637 and Nigeria 8054853828; I will be shuttling and hopefully you will be able to reach me at one of them. As always, I am available for your spiritual needs and prayers. Have a nice productive and prosperous week ahead and see you next Sunday!
