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.

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.

SWISS MINARET BAN, A CURB OF ISLAMIC EXPANSIONIST AGENDA?

Icheoku supports the ban by the Swiss of further construction of the overwhelming Islamic symbol, the minarets, in their country! It is a step in the right direction, curbing Islamic expansionist agenda, one ban at a time! However the only plausible exception, eliciting the lifting of the ban, should be when those Islamic countries in the Middle East and elsewhere, as a matter of reciprocity, permit the construction of churches and their bell-towers within their respective domains? Otherwise ban another thing:- the hijab was first to go in France and now goes the minarets in Switzerland!
But we know such a desire is merely a wishful thinking and a hoping of Utopia; since those zealots in charge of such republics will not allow or permit such "heretic practice" anywhere within their territorial jurisdictions. At the same time and token, these theocratic governments, through the proxies of Islamic practitioners in Europe, want to conquer, subjugate and Islamize Europe by way of covering their landscape with their Islamic symbol, the minaret! It is akin to flag-mounting a foreign country's flag in such number and in your-face-like-manner that suggests ownership of the land by such a foreign sovereign? Icheoku considers such blatancy unfair, arrogant and pure zealotry to the Swiss and the general Europe which that must and should be stopped, pronto!
Is it in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Algeria, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Egypt and the rest of other Islamic countries of the world would anyone find symbols of Christianity springing up in every nook and cranny of the country with the same brash audacity as are Islamic symbols over Europe? Icheoku asks, who is really paying and sponsoring these grandiose mosques and minarets if not those Islamic governments from Riyadh to Tehran to Tripoli to Damascus to Cairo to Ankara to Kabul and so on. Their agenda is to capture and conquer Europe without firing a single shot, knowing fully well that they are a no match in firepower with the west; hence they choose to surreptitiously achieve what they cannot do through a direct confrontation. Their mantra, let us Islamize and psychologically conquer them; such that wherever they look there will have symbols of Islam starring them in the face. But unfortunately the rest of Europe are being very puerile in seeing this big picture of what the near future holds in stock for them and their children, when their way of live and believe system will be subjugated if not completely wiped out by a ferocious invading Islamism. What an expedition to behold?
The European Union should wake up when there is still time left and curb Islamic expansion over their land, and before it is too late; with all of them one day, being forced to convert and start knocking their heads to the ground in 'prayers' at the pain of being beheaded. That is the only way known to Islam, either you convert or be damned to a hellish death at the beheader's sword. But who wants to live through this nightmarish future experience; definitely not Icheoku or anyone known to us, hence we applaud the audacity of the Swiss in saying no to political correctness and doing what is right to sustain and preserve their very way of live and belief. Unfortunately France choose to play the devil's advocate when it admonished Switzerland for banning further minarets construction in their country? In the words of France's Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, 'the vote was "oppressing a religion?" Icheoku says, really; a kettle calling a pot black? It was the French who first braved banning religious symbols in their country when they banned Muslim women from wearing the Hijab in public places. But now the Swiss took a step a little further and see who is complaining, - the French? Another example of the live and lets live French wish-washy, one may say.
Icheoku disagrees that the Swiss ban of Islamic minarets is anti-immigration since not all immigrants are Muslims or even religious. Those Islamic migrants among them are running away from their Islamic homelands, because of the way things are run over there and supposedly in search of a saner civility. Let the western countries firmly make it known to these immigrants and in a way and manner they understand that we shall tolerate them to the extent their presence does not eclipse our own civilization, period! If they loved their countries of origin so much, may be they would not have left in the first place; but stay behind to practice their intolerance brand of Wahabism or whatever sect they choose that will be their best vehicle of propagating their religion? It is our believe at Icheoku.com that immigrants should endeavour to adopt the values of their host-countries, and if their religion means so much to them, they should practice it in deference to their host countries' sensibilities; but not as an affront to their way of life and beliefs.
With about 300,000 Muslims in a country of 7.7 million people, the nationwide voter turnout of about 53 percent, with 70% in German section, is quite significant; and shows a forceful repudiation of the attempt to Islamize Europe and Switzerland in particular through religion as manifested by building so many Islamic symbols such as the minarets. Icheoku agrees also that towering minarets are politically motivated constructions which are intended to give the impression of an Islamic country; and not necessarily as a devotion to whatever these Muslims pray to. There is a difference between political and religious Islamism and a clear line must be drawn between the two and firmly maintained and enforced. Once again, Icheoku congratulates the Swiss for not cowering down to pressures of political correctness and standing up to the Islamic expansion in Europe. All the mosques and minarets springing up all over Europe and North America are agenda-driven; but thankfully, the Swiss did not buy into the myth of religious tolerance in banning further Islamization of their Alpine country!
