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

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.

UMARU YAR'ADUA, JUST GO AWAY!

Before further damage could be caused the Nigerian people! Enough of this bullshit! That is the only feasible solution to the intractable problems currently bedevilling Nigeria and now is the time for him to just disappear from Aso Rock, so that Nigeria may be whole again. Icheokudotcom calls on the National Assembly to instigate articles of impeachment immediately to remove Umaru Yar'Adua from office on the grounds of impairment - his inability to perform the duties/functions of his office due to incapacity of the body and mind. Better still, let the Supreme Court of Nigeria quietly easy him out of office by annulling the charade of an "election" that imposed him on the Nigerian people in the first place. Regrettably it will be tragic to let the khaki boys effect this desirable change for Nigerians as it may not be all that peaceful. However should this last option be exercised, may all the past "leaders" be rounded up and while tied up at the stake, be forced to regurgitate all the money they stole from Nigeria, totalling an excess of three (3) trillion dollars USD since 1970.
Since Umaru Yar'Adua was imposed on Nigeria in May 2007, nothing has moved an inch in Nigeria - everything has crawled to a complete full-stop. It has been all motion and no movement. Now to add insult to the injury, oil price has crashed and very soon Nigeria may not be able to pay her tabs or meet her international payment obligations requiring bankruptcy protection. Why Nigerians have tolerated this man all these while of his sleeping on duty defies every logic or is it the usual stupendous and ignominious awe-struck of Nigerians to what is unusual and strange, and Umaru Yar'Adua is both.
The present ordeal of Nuhu Ribadu should be the final straw to break this Umaru Yar'Adua boneless back - he is so iffy and shifty that he does not stand by his orders once they turn out not to be popular or widely acceptable. Twice has he tried to increase the cost of gasoline and other petroleum products and twice has he rescinded himself. Once did he try to launch a full scale military invasion of the Niger Delta but chickened out under pressure; he once wanted to stand up to Olusegun Obasanjo's excesses beginning with his removal as board of trustee chairman of the PDP but equally grew cold-feet. The latest incident is Nuhu Ribadu whom he ordered humiliated but sensing the outrage of the Nigerian people is now saying that his government was not aware of it, calling for a useless investigation.
Which investigation, Icheokudotcom, asks? If Nigeria wants, let them continue to sell themselves short by their continuous tolerance of this little man from Katsina State who was deliberately imposed on Nigeria by a cabal headed by Olusegun Obasanjo. Not only is he, Umaru Yar'Adua, clueless, as admitted by his secretary of government Saleh, on how to tackle Nigeria's problems but he is also not courageous enough to make some tough decisions necessary to move the country forward. Simply speaking, Umaru Yar'Adua does not have what it takes to do the hard-work required. As for Icheokudotcom, Umaru Yar'Adua is not a legitimate president, he does not have balls to be president of Nigeria and should therefore resign his office immediately to make way for a better reconstituted Nigeria. Fresh election is what is needed to uplift the present low morals in Nigeria - this will confer legitimacy and real mandate on whomsoever is elected by the majority of Nigerians to be their president. Anything short of Umaru Yar'Adua's immediate resignation or removal from office, will only continue to fester the murky political malaise in Nigeria; where nothing presently works but are in near complete paralysis. This is not the way a country with a future runs - on a gridlock with too many uncertainties; hence the course must be pivoted as a matter of utmost urgency in order to avert further devolution. Icheokudotcom therefore calls on Umaru Yar'Adua to resign his office immediately to save Nigeria from its present cliff-bound tumble. ENOUGH!
