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.

KAYODE OGUNDAMISI & NFL, KUDOS TO YOU!

Icheoku extends our warm congratulations to the Nigeria Liberty Forum (NFL) and its coordinator Kayode Ogundamisi, on what it pulled off at the London School of Economics, protesting the devil-incarnate, Aremu Babalawo Olusegun Obasanjo!
We at Icheoku.com feel highly elated that for once, Nigerians are beginning to take their criminal leadership to task, demanding that they answer for their misdeeds while in office. The paradigm for measuring the success of this protest was not in the number of protesters that turned-out, but that some people were brave enough to confront an African evil, Olusegun Obasanjo. Olusegun Obasanjo has been de-plumed by the NFL and he can no longer pretend that all is well with him before Nigerians. For this brave first-step, Icheoku says, thank you NFL for a job well done; and particularly to our Kayo, you are the real deal! You are the man! You refused to die in the face of tyranny by speaking out! You are the stuff, legends are made of! Unbeknownst to you, by your thoughtful action, you have become a Nigerian of renown and so many will be wishing they were as brave and as foresighted.
By your action, you have unmasked the masquerade, Olusegun Obasanjo who has now officially joined the horrible men and women of this world, whose sight or visit anywhere attracts odium and ridicule. Surely, there will be other copy-cat demonstrations and protests to follow, whenever and wherever the deity of Otta rears his ugly head, henceforth. It is about time these murderous imbeciles of Africa are shown and placed in their proper places; and fortunately your NFL has shone the light with your protest in London on March 18, 2009. It was an event whose time has since come, and thanks to the trail-blazing initiative of your NFL, the whole world is now abuzz that Olusegun Obasanjo's misdeeds is finally and gradually catching up with him. Olusegun Obasanjo deserves the noose and in an Iraqi society, that would have been his ultimate welcome/send-off gift; those tomatoes and eggs that he was pelted with, were rather too precious to waste on such an incestuous vagabond. That he was also booed is an indication of the very bleak future that awaits him. For once, your commendable action denied Olusegun Obasanjo his usual arrogant, grandeur, pomp and pageantry appearances; as he was instead, smuggled into the venue, like a common criminal being protected from his victim's family, through a pantry? This humbling entrance was in itself also a huge success as it greatly perforated his larger than life ethereal ego.

In the coordinator's very own words, "The NLF considers it a public duty to stop people like Obasanjo from representing Africa anywhere, because he represents the same failed face of Africa. We cannot afford different versions of Mobutu Sese Seko, Idi Amin, Emperor Bokassa, Conteh, Marcias Nguema, and their ilk representing us. Obasanjo has the traits of the worst tyrants in Africa, but he seems to have the international community under his spell. They overlook his indiscretions and scandalous crimes, and shower him with credibility when he should be cooling his heels in jail or hiding away in one remote corner of the world, far, far from decent people! Obasanjo is a monster, not a statesman"!

Icheoku agrees with the above summation and adds, Olusegun Obasanjo does not only have the traits of a tyrant but is the worst tyrant to have ever walked the African soil freely. Peradventure, his nemesis will soon catch up with him, like the other bygone tyrants of Africa!
