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.

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.

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.

LOVE-JINXED JENNIFER LOPEZ AND SICKLY-LOOKING MARC ANTHONY, CALLS IT QUITS!

Icheoku once again wonders why so many people fall victim to society's conceited ploy to keep everybody unhappy, enslaved and trapped in the bondage called marriage. Marriage does not work, it never worked and will not in the future work. We are all individuals and it is utterly difficult to truly make the needed sacrifices required to accommodate another person called spouse.  If there is anybody out there who truly thinks or believes otherwise, please let Icheoku know what foundational basis forms your position.

Icheoku was discussing the subject in a forum just recently and one of the guests, a woman, analogised the only way marriage works is to develop the relationship between a dog owner and a dog whereby the man(husband) is 'dog-fied' with the woman(wife) owning him with absolute, total, unquestionable control and slavery obedience on the part of the man. Icheoku quipped, but is that not what leads to situations where some women complain that "he is not man-enough for me;" to which she responded -that is is the plan as that will enable her to run circles around so many men in her lifetime. So objectively speaking, it is ok to conclude that marriage does not truly work, except in some strange settings such as where the couples adopt Will Smith and Jada type of open relationship and are living thousands of miles apart and seeing each other may be once a month or even a year? If it works so well why do spouses cheat, complain, run away and sometimes get physical and in some extreme cases, take the life of one other? 

Anyway, as the girl from the block goes through yet another Adam, Icheoku asks when would Jennifer Lopez do what it takes to stay with a man or is she trying to out-do the late Liz Taylor who went through several men in her lifetime? From Ojani Noa to P-Diddy to Ben Affleck to Chris Judd and then to the now ex Marc Anthony, the girl from the block has truly proved that she was raised on the street; and who knows what value is now left of such a woman to attract any other reasonable and responsible man, except of course her money becomes the bait? 40 plus old Jenny Lopez from the block is no longer a spring chicken and regardless of what sent her to Splitville this time around, her record with men is no longer a laughing matter. Icheoku believes the other Jennifer, Aniston that is, now truly has a companion and co-traveler in the love-forlorn lalaland of "People Jinxed in Love." 

In Jennifer and Anthony's statement announcing their separation - euphemism  for working out our divorce-terms, the ex-couple said "We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved, and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time." Icheoku asks Jenny and Marc, if it was all that "painful and difficult decision," why then did they make it; why not just keep on keeping on with all the facade and pretended happily married couple they have been parading around since 2004 when they tied the knot? They should have continued the deceit - torturing themselves knowing fully well that they were not made for each other.

The truth of the matter is that the girl from the block was only once truly happy in love when she was dating P-Diddy and that is where her heart still lies; and until she swallows the bitters and goes back to Sean Combs, she will continue to live a lie and pine away. Both of them were perfect couple made in heaven and Icheoku advises Jenny from the block to find out if P-Diddy is waiting for her, the reason he has refused to marry anybody ever since including his baby-mama. As for the twins Jenny had by Anthony, Max and Emme; they have now joined the club of millions of American children whose parents never sacrificed enough to keep their marriage alive; but who choose the quick road to Splitville. It is so good to be free; if it does not work, just take a walk - it is fulfilling!
