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.

JONATHAN GIVE NIGERIA LIGHT, SEND DORA TO POWER MINISTRY!

The Acting President has every right as a president would, including discharging the office of Commander in Chief of the armed forces which he has twice carried out when he sent the army on a mission to Jos; sack or re-deploy his ministers which he previously did when he re-deployed four ministers including the former Attorney General Mike Aondonkaa. He can and have also signed various executive orders, releasing federation funds to the states and local governments. He can and have also played host, in his capacity as the chief executive of Nigeria, to visiting foreign dignitaries. The Acting President being so empowered to discharge the office and duties of a president, duly exercised his right to sack the ministers. Therefore, all those sacked ministers contemplating court action over their sack should sheath their sword as they have no right which was taken away for the courts to restore!
Being appointed a minister is but a mere privilege which the appointing authority could rescind at anytime; and now the 'appointor' (which in this case Jonathan have assumed the personality) has decided to 'un-appoint' these ministers. In a biblical term, 'he who giveth, taketh' and so Jonathan have taken back the hitherto given portfolios, case closed! Now on the question of reappointing some of the dismissed ministers, Icheoku is in support especially for continuity? Moreso, since the administration's term is almost over, it will be too late now to start on the job training of new ministers with their retinue of assistants. Professor Dora Akunyili should be reappointed but deployed to a ministry where her abilities could be better harnessed for the benefit of Nigeria. Icheoku recommends the Power Ministry, with a special mandate to solve Nigeria's intractable power problem. If anyone can do it, Dora is that person; she comes with a proven track-record, coupled with her 'can-do' attitude, passion, patriotism and enthusiasm both for her job and country. So Acting President Jonathan Goodluck, challenge Professor Dora Akunyili with the task of giving Nigerians uninterrupted power supply and consider it done! What a burnish of resume` this will be for your very short tenure that you were still able to give Nigeria the 'light' which have eluded them and many previous administrations for too long. Just do it, Jonathan!
Please also consider retaining INEC's Maurice Iwu and give him the free hand to redeem himself in 2011. Bringing on board a freshman INEC chairman at this stage with 2011 looming ahead is not a good plan; considering those marauding beasts parading themselves as politicians in Nigeria who he will be starring down on the face. EFCC's Madam Farida Waziri was equally hamstrung by the cabal and so, she should be unchained and allowed to do her job! Otherwise, Icheoku has no dog in the fight; and you might as well, for all that we care, assume the sole administrator-ship of Nigeria, without any ministers, for the remainder of your co-term presidency with President Umaru Yar'Adua! Goodluck to you, Mr Goodluck
