Readied in a bedecked $25,000 dollars golden casket, befitting of an accomplished man of his status, the king of pop, Micheal Jackson, went out in a blaze of glory! His family and over ten thousand close friends and admirers were inside the packed Staples Center in Los Angeles California to bear witness to the triumphant exit of a man, whose short life touched so many lives! Adieu Micheal! Of all that could be said that was said about Micheal Jackson, the most far-reaching of all paid tributes and the whole world agrees, came from an eleven year old innocent girl. A girl, not enmeshed in all the political-drama associated with the deceased greatest entertainer of all times! In the most humanising of all tributes, Micheal Jackson's 11 year old daughter, Paris Micheal Jackson tearfully surmised what her father meant for her and her brothers thus, "I just wanted to say ... ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say I love him — so much"! 
Rev. Al Sharpton, sent the salvo to the direction where it fits most when he said to Micheal Jackson's children, "Your daddy wasn't strange — what he had to deal with was strange." On this note, we draw the final curtain on our coverage of the mega-drama of the past two weeks! Goodbye Micheal!
Icheoku says, the most painful of being a minority in a discriminating society is that irrespective of your accomplishments or the money you may have stashed in the bank in the process, the society still sees and treats you first and foremost as that black-man! The pain grows bigger when you see under-achievers or people you have far out-excelled or who you know you are better off than, being accorded special privileges just because of the paler-color of their skin? That was the society that sent MJ to his early grave, all the crocodile out-pouring of grief, being presently exhibited, notwithstanding! His offence:- he over achieved; he became too successful, surpassing all hitherto known musical idols and proceeded to marry a priceless daughter of one of such their idol? This last act was simply too much to put up with, hence a bulls-eye was put on his back and the attack dogs kept gnawing, and gnawing until the events of today. This forced one of his brothers, Marlon Jackson to say, 'how much pain can one take, may be now, Micheal, they will leave you alone'! Rest in peace Micheal!

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.
