Just less than twenty four hours after his boast that he is not going anywhere, President Hosni Mubarak was eased out of power and he is now gone; GONE FOR THE GOOD OF EGYPT! Icheoku says good riddance. According to a statement by Vice President Omar Suleiman, “Mubarak has decided to relinquish the office of the presidency” and with those words several decades of despotism abruptly came to an end in the land of the Pharaohs.It would appear that Mubarak tried in vain to ride out the wave but would not get the support of the military to do the only thing left for him to cling to power - massacre those 'dissidents' at Tahrir Square and he had to go. This shows that his last statement to the nation was a ditch attempt to hang in there but the resolve of the people proved to be too much for that of one single old despot. Unconfirmed sources said Mubarak had already left Cairo for the Sinai resort of Sharm El-Sheikh enroute exile in Saudi Arabia to join his Tunisian counterpart Ben Ali.Icheoku says as Egypt now joins Tunisia as another liberated country in the Arab world, the tornado of change should move on to other countries in that region of the world and we pray it gathers awesome force enroute. With Iraqi Saddam Hussein gone; Tunisia Ben Ali gone and now followed by Egyptian Hosni Mubarak, the wind of change is packing much punch and must not cease or stop until the Middle East and North Africa are rid of these pestilence holding the region down. Icheoku have always supported the revolution but was inclined to accommodate Mubarak till September, provided it will ensure a smooth transition of power in Egypt as opposed to the madness that was witnessed in Iraq following Saddam's violent overthrow. But hey, Egyptians love their country and will do what is best for it. Congratulations Egyptians on your resolve which culminated into the overthrow of ages of a one-man madness; and should we rename the Revolution 2.0 the River Nile Revolution or what?

MUBARAK OUSTED, EGYPTIANS WIN THE BATTLE OF WILL AND NERVE!
Just less than twenty four hours after his boast that he is not going anywhere, President Hosni Mubarak was eased out of power and he is now gone; GONE FOR THE GOOD OF EGYPT!

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.
