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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

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.

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.

BURQAS IN FRANCE, PRESIDENT SARKOZY SAYS NO!

Icheoku supports wholly, the stand of French President Nikolas Sarkozy, rejecting the Islamic dress-code for women, burqa, in France!
It is man's inhumanity to man and debasing of another human-being under the subterfuge of religion. It is dehumanising to force a fellow human being to be under a perpetual cloak of body-covering, irrespective of the searing temperature of her operating environment. Worst still, many of these peering eyes long for some allowance to express themselves and show-off their beautiful figures, but which the mullahs will not tolerate under their warped, subjugated interpretation of the Koran? We have researched this dress-code in the Koran, but came short of any masquerade-like, head to toe, total covering prescription for the women folks? The necessary question is, why hide beauty beneath the mask? Why put a light under a bushel? Why not glorify the creator with exhibition of the wonderful art of nature, usually hidden beneath the layers of covering?
While branding the face-covering, body-length gown known as burqa, a symbol of subservience that suppresses women's identities and turns them into "prisoners behind a screen, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, declared the Islamic burqa is not welcome in France! Icheoku says, hurray, the way to go Mr. President and hopefully your weighty voice will empower all Muslim women all over the world to forcefully kick out the clothing enslavement? In Sarkozy's very own words, "In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity. The burqa is not a religious sign, it's a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement — I want to say it solemnly. It will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic." Icheoku says, good speak President Sarkozy; it is about time somebody spoke out against a practice, which time has come to be junked into historical artifact.
Why cover a light? Let France be for the French and anyone who does not want to comply with 'French dress-code' or is so infatuated with the burqa; let such a fanatic return to her country of origin in the Middle East. There she can be as enslaved as she might wish; but to remain in France and wear scary garbs is unacceptable and this is the gist of President Sarkozy's speech? Where in the Muslim world would a woman be allowed to wear bikinis or revealing outfits, yet they will not respect Western civilization and its dress-code but chose to scare the daylight out of our kids, completely masked and parading our streets and shopping malls?

Icheoku says, whether such a ban would create tensions or not is irrelevant as when in Rome, do like the Romans? In France, all must strive to be French, period! Has anybody in the Western hemisphere ever thought about women wearing micro-minis in the Middle East or even considered possible conflict or tension? Their draconian laws on dress-code is total and absolute; and does not have any room for consideration of tension or conflict; so why must it always be the west being called upon to make accommodations? Our take is that if anyone is so interested in entombing herself while still alive, let the person move back to the Middle East but should leave the French alone?
It will be recalled that the French just went a step further from the Dutch government which last year described the burqa and other clothing that covers the face, as "undesirable," but stopped short of a ban because of concerns of possible religious discrimination? Kudos to the French, whose president is continuously proving to have the desired balls, needed of a leader. Once again, Icheoku affirms the righteousness and correctness of the French President Nikolaz Sarkozy's courageous position on a divisive and scary outfits!
