SYRIAN PROVOCATION, LET THE BOMBARDMENT BEGIN NOW.

Icheoku says America MUST now put its money where its mouth is in order to continue providing the much needed deterrence to world's dictators and would-be despots alike. The blatant dare of the Assad Bashir's led Syrian government, which defied a clearly marked line in the sand of American President Barack Obama, who had categorically stated that using chemical weapon in the conflict in Syria will be considered by America as crossing the proverbial red line, requires a punitive response. President Bashir Assad, not once but now twice since the red-line was drawn, has called America's bluff by gassing his people and daring America to show that its words is still its bond and also still bankable. Icheoku says any further inaction or delayed response to this flagrant violation by the Commander-in-Chief of the strongest military in the world will be seen as bluster, hence the skies over Damascus and the entire Syrian geography MUST and SHOULD rain down some pulverising and punitive hellfire in response; and to send a clear message that America does not bluff. 

Such a 'shock and awe' aerial assault is what the killer-government in Damascus needs to see and feel, in order to be reminded that certain actions are considered a taboo and greatly frowned at, in such civil conflict or war as going on now in Syria. It is called rules of engagement and humans are not animals to be gassed or chemically burnt and scorched. Iraq's Saddam Hussein once gassed his people and it eventually snowballed into an invasion of his country and his forcible overthrow from power; and which culminated into his neck being yanked off his shoulders in the gallows. Icheoku says President Bashir Assad has already killed enough of his people - people he is meant to protect; and by now using chemical weapons on them and spraying them with poisonous killer gas, Icheoku has no other explanation of his action than an open invitation for the world led by America to show that it can still check the excesses of such midget and petty dictators. 

An American adage says 'you do not tell a man to go to hell except you are ready, willing and able to send him to hell'; so since Bashir Assad has willingly refused to go to hell, it is about time he is hog-tied and dragged through the gates of hell into hellfire. This is the only meaningful desired and deserved response; which put in another way, is the crux of the matter with the present defiance of Syria's President Bashir Assad of a clearly laid down DO NOT CROSS LINE. Icheoku says only such a solid, devastating response is needed and called for and NOW in response to the Assad's government thumbing of nose at both America and the world. Icheoku agrees with America's Secretary of State John Kerry that what we saw last week in Damascus shocked our conscience; it also defies every code of morality. The action of Damascus despotic government led by President Bashir Assad in using chemical weapons against its own people is clearly a moral obscenity defined and cannot be tolerated or condoned. Now is time to send in the tomahawks and let the boys go do their thing with boots on the ground if that is what it will take to send a defining MESSAGE that gassing or chemically scorching civilians in a civil conflict is despotism too far. Icheoku says if Russia or China or even Iran has a problem with that, then let the third world war begin and with it, a healing of the world economy which shall inhere from massive rebuilding following massive destruction.

GOVERNOR SUNTAI SHOULD GO (PRESIDENT YAR'DUA ENCORE?)

Icheoku says those supporters of the brain-damaged governor of Taraba State did themselves more harm than good when they ferreted the vegetative governor back to Nigeria. Looking at the images of the heavily disabled governor being carried out of the aircraft, Icheoku like millions of other Nigerians, cannot but conclude that the governor is finished and grossly incapacitated to continue the discharge of his duties as governor. Except of course the governors' minders want to hijack Taraba State in the manner Mrs Yar'Adua and the cabal hijacked Nigeria in the past, Icheoku says now is time to swear the acting governor in as the substantive governor pending when elections are called to fill the existing vacancy. 

A man who cannot even help himself step out of an aircraft, who is looking so forlorn and who is staring emptily into the space is sure not a man who could be said to be in control of his faculties to continue to function effectively in office as governor. Therefore Icheoku calls on President Goodluck Jonathan to facilitate the immediate swearing in of the acting governor of Taraba State in order not to allow a situation where the disabled governor is used by interested parties to run rough-shod on the state. Icheoku says to avoid the fate which Nigeria suffered during the late President Umaru Yar'Adua's health debacle from repeating itself in Taraba State, and having seen that Governor Suntai Fulani is completely finished and can no longer effectively function as governor, the governor should therefore be quietly eased out of office and NOW.

AUGUST 24TH 2013, A DAY OF HISTORY IN SOUTHEAST NIGERIA.

Icheoku congratulates President Goodluck Jonathan and the people of Southeast Nigeria on the upcoming inaugural international flight to Enugu on August 24, 2013. The first of its kind in the history of Nigeria and into the geography of the Southeast. What a day in history it will be and somewhat truly reintegrate Eastern Nigerian Biafran Igbos back to Nigeria. Icheoku says in support of the new International airport, we shall be routing all our future trips through the new airport and hereby urge all Diaspora Igbos to make the airport a success story by routing all their future travels back to motherland via the Akanu Ibiam airport in Enugu. All Igbo highly mobile world travellers should also do the same to help redevelop our part of the country; after these years developing other peoples' part of the country. Igbo kwenu! With the new Akanu Ibiam airport, Nigerians will now truly appreciate the added value the Igbos make to both MM Ikeja and NA Abuja international airports. Igbos, this one na we own and we go make it work. Our hats also duffs for the able Aviation Minister Princess Stella Oduah, who had accomplished a great milestone where several other Igbo Ministers of Aviation of the past, including the last one from Enugu State, Akuabata Njaeze, had failed woefully. What a doer and great Amazon this princess is that successfully midwifed Akanu Ibiam International airport to fruition.

AUSTRALIAN STUDENT SHOT DEAD IN AMERICA, BOYCOTT CALL MISGUIDED?

Icheoku says the recent call by Australian former Deputy Prime Minister, Tim Fisher, for his country men and women to avoid visiting America because of the shooting death of an Australian student, Chris Lane, is rather too impetuous and made in heat of passion without much thought going into it. Boycotting America or its tourism industry is not a commensurate reaction as America did not pull the trigger that snuffed the life out of the Aussie. Three troubled kids did, who "killed the victim for fun simply because they were bored and looking for something to do." Icheoku asks, why then should Australia take out their madness on the whole country instead of making sure that the individuals who committed the crime are fully punished for the heinous crime? Boycott is usually a weapon reserved for much serious country to country matter such as a disagreement between Canberra and Washington DC and should not be deployed simply because one 22 year old Aussie student named Chris Lane was randomly shot dead on an America street. 

Americans love their guns. Americans pull their guns' triggers at will and death sometimes results as a consequence. So it is given that more often than not, a victim results from being on the wrong or other end of the barrel. But does that warrant the current outcry in Australia demanding that America be boycotted, Icheoku says we don't think so. 

Being killed by gun at anytime in America is just a price we pay for living in a gun-ho, gun-infested, gun-saturated, gun-toting and gun-loving society/culture that is America. It is the risk we run living in the freest country in the world which also allows anyone who wants, to have a gun? In America, this year alone, thousands have been shot dead before Chris Lane's killing and unfortunately, many more will be shot dead before this year 2013 ends and thousands more long after Lane's murder case assumes cold temperature and the case files starts collecting dust somewhere at the prosecuting District Attorney's case-files storage room.This is the fact of life in America and the choice is for any individual to live with this known risk of possible loss of life to a shooter at any time or simply catch the next flight out of town, but to where? 

There is violence everywhere on this planet earth including the boycott-calling country, Australia. But the good news is that in America, many of these criminal shootings and violence are solved by law enforcement, at least for closure. Regrettably however, there is no immediate or apparent plan to change this constitutionally guaranteed right of Americans to bear arms - a very touchy issue which is also very dear to millions of Americans. Moreso any attempt at managing the gun crisis through meaningful legislation and regulation is always interpreted as a ploy by the government to take away peoples' guns and no American wants his or her gun to be taken away. So gun violence has somewhat become a cancer eating up the body fabric of American society but until the National Rifle Association decides to set free state legislators, federal congressmen and women as well as senators in their bondage, to enable them do right by these victims and future victims of gun violence, gun violence will remain a vicious cycle of pain and anguish to millions of victims' families. 

Icheoku says that the death of 22 year old Aussie student, Chris Lane, is even attracting the much publicity and coverage it is getting is a big surprise as people are shot every day, every hour, every minute in America and the skies has not fallen down; and to the extent that majority of them no longer make the news. Unless the shooting to death of Aussie Chris Lane is "a death once too many," there is no cause for alarm to rile Australian people up against visiting or coming to America. Nothing in his killing warrants the excessive measure as he was not targeted because he was from Australia or because he spoke with a different foreign accent. No, his killing was random and by teenagers who claimed they were bored and looking for an outlet. So simply put, Aussie Chris Lane was at a wrong place at a wrong time which begs the question, how could his usual jogging route be a wrong place? In answer, Icheoku says living in America by itself alone is technically a wrong place for gun violence as it could erupt anywhere and at anytime - including the sanctuary of a church and other places of worship like temples, synagogues and mosques. It could also erupt in a park, in schools and colleges, in movie theatres, in army forts, in gas stations, in law offices, in medical offices, on the roads, at homes and even  in sleeping bedrooms, in grocery stores and post offices etc. Put in another way, gun violence in America have erupted in virtually every imaginable and unimaginable places that no place is safe any longer in America. So we all who call America home and our visitors run the risk of such senseless gun violence 24/7 by reason of being in America. 

America is a country that have seen its share of gun violence and continues to wallow in it till this day and without any immediate hope of future abatement. President John Kennedy was a victim of gun violence, killed in Dallas Texas. President Ronald Reagan was a victim of gun violence, survived attack. Italian fashion designer Versace was a victim of gun violence, killed in Miami Florida. Beatles John Lennon was a victim of gun violence, killed in New York. Columbine students in Colorado were victims of gun violence. Virginia Tech students were victims of gun violence. Aurora Colorado movie-goers were victims of gun violence. The White House itself have seen its fair share of guns being fired at it. Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk of San Francisco were victims of gun violence, killed in their offices at the City Hall. Martin Luther King was a victim of gun violence, killed in Memphis Tennessee. Malcolm X was a victim of gun violence, killed in New York. Tupac Shakur was a victim of gun violence, killed in Las Vegas. Biggie Small was a victim of gun violence, killed in Los Angeles. Newtown Connecticut kindergartners were victims of gun violence. Congresswoman Gabriella Gifford survived gun violence. Oikos University Oakland California students including a Nigerian mother of three were victims of gun violence. Six year old Kayla Renee Rolland of Michigan was a victim of gun violence. Oak Creek Wisconsin Indian Sikhs were victims of gun violence, shot and killed inside their temple. Then add the unabating gun violence in Chicago Illinois where over 100 have been killed this year alone; add Oakland California's plus minus 89 victims, then Gary Indiana double digits murders, then Los Angeles, New York, Baltimore and New Orleans Louisiana as well as literally every part of the country and you have a near crisis gun violence situation starring you on the face. (Just check the blog - http://killingstoriesinamerica.blogspot.com/ on some recent killings this year ALONE in America and be the judge of the scourge that is gun violence ravaging America).

Icheoku says therefore, and in as much as the death by gun of Australian's Chris Lane is lamentable and regrettable, it does not rise to such a situation as warrants a call for boycott of America. In America, at least these crimes are solved and the criminals punished for their crime or what else could be done or expected to be done where someone has already assumed room temperature other than apprehend and punish the perpetrator/s? Crimes are inevitable in any society and asking a government to prevent all crimes including random killing of a person is a near impossible task to perform. Chris Lane is just one of thousands of other gun violence victims in America this year alone and his death should not be a source of friction or unneeded tension between two friendly countries. The American government did not "drone" him nor was he targeted and killed for hate crime because he was Australian; so the call by former deputy prime minister is outrageous, presumptuous and unwarranted. Icheoku therefore call on former Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fisher to retract his unfortunate call and apologise for throwing such a sledgehammer on a fly and by necessary implication, poured gasoline on a flame. May Chris Lane's soul rest in peace and Australians should be assured that his killers will have the books thrown at them and punished severely for their crime. They should therefore ignore the boycott call and continue visiting the land of the free and home of the brave. America is as safe as any other big country with so much freedom can be, so there is no cause for unnecessary alarm.

(FYI: What the deputy prime minister said: “Tourists thinking of going to the USA should think twice. This is the bitter harvest and legacy of the policies of the NRA that even blocked background checks for people buying guns at gun shows. People should take this into account before going to the United States.” - Tim Fisher.)

EGYPTIAN MASSACRE, JUSTIFIED?

Icheoku says the military in Egypt may have done the West, especially the United States of America, a lotta good when they forcibly stopped the fundamentalist government of President Morsi and his fanatical Muslim Brotherhood cold in their tract; and it does not matter the nomenclature of their putsch - whether it was a coup or a pseudo-coup. So considering the fact that Ayman al Zawahiri, Osama Bin Laden's second in command and the man currently heading Al Querida, is the general overseer and generalissimo of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, why blame an action meant and geared towards halting this terrorist from acquiring a vital land base to export his terror around the world. Can anyone imagine the damage a closed Suez canal could do to world commerce or the conundrum which a war with the State of Israel would have foist on an already combustive part of the world's geography? Icheoku queries, why give Al Querida a staging ground with such a vital interest country Egypt by allowing Ayman al Zawahiri take total control of Egypt by proxy of Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi, and with it the Suez canal as well as the entire Middle Eastern oil? 

Unfortunately Washington and some Americans are hard of learning or rather too slow to learn the surreptitious lesson which was enthroning the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo; as that would have been the single biggest and best gift to Al Querida which their blowing our twin towers in New York could not have given them. Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs, would have become a proving grounds for terrorists in the Middle East and with it entrenched their scourge on world peace. So without gainsaying or any leg-dragging, Icheoku says instead of hanging the military in Egypt out to dry because of their patriotic act of overthrowing a terrorist-sympathetic government of President Morsi, with the threat of or withholding of our aid to them, Washington should rather increase the aid; and use them to fight a proxy war against remnants of Al Querida masquerading as Morsi and/or his Muslim Brotherhood government or any other nomenclature they devised to hide under. 

Recall that Egyptian born medical doctor turned terrorist and current head of Al Querida PLC, Zawahiri, grew his teeth as a Muslim Brotherhood activist before establishing Al Querida with Osama Bin Laden.  Icheoku says it does not require rocket science or a PhD in Logic and Clear Thought Studies to figure out that the terrorist chief's lieutenants still abound in Egypt and in the Muslim Brotherhood. So what stops him, Zawahiri, from calling the shots of what the figurehead President Morsi does in Cairo from the caves of Toraborah or Abotabad; including carrying out further terrorist acts on the United States of America as well as any other Western country in their cross-hairs? Therefore whatever action the Egyptian military takes or decides to take, including killing some of the Muslim Brotherhood foot-soldiers in order to stop terrorists from securing a firm staging grounds in Egypt, should rather be commended than chastised. 

Icheoku disagrees that what deposed President Morsi and his fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood had was a democracy; otherwise why were they burning churches and destroying other non Muslim Egyptians' way of life? Democracy as truly practiced, guarantees freedom for all; but a situation where the Muslim Brotherhood shouts democracy and yet would not allow other Egyptians to practice their own faith or conviction falls short of the word defined. It should not just be democracy as far as those fanatic Muslim Brotherhood freely run amok and visiting mayhem on other Egyptians; no, it should be democracy for all - it should be FREEDOM for every Egyptian, period. If only the deposed President Morsi had been killed during the coup or whatever it was that overthrew his government, may be by now Egypt would have moved on without the unneeded distraction of him still being around as a galvanising point with the ongoing clamour for his reinstatement. Icheoku says that Morsi's government was exclusive of other Egyptians who are not fundamentalist Muslims and therefore was bad for democracy strictly defined as freedom loving. It ought to and should go and therefore was well dispatched, case closed.

Icheoku strongly opines that the option in Egypt is simple - either there is a democracy for every Egyptian regardless of faith, including guarantee of their rights to freely worship their God according to their own understanding of Him respectively or there should be no democracy at all; especially according to the Muslim Brotherhood pigeon-holed warped description of it. To this end therefore, Icheoku is emphatic that the Egyptian military did the right thing by stopping the Islamization of Egypt and with it an imminent threat to the State of Israel and the Suez canal. By checking the excesses of these Muslim Brotherhood fundamentalists, the Egyptian military nipped in the bud what would have later proved a sword of Damocles on the entire world. The whole world including America should therefore show some understanding of the peculiar nature of the threat posed by allowing a Zawahiri tele-guided government of Morsi in Cairo and not in anyway pretend to be more catholic than the pope or be seen as being more sympathetic to known TERRORISTS. 

Icheoku says the Egyptian military are Egyptians; Egypt is their country and no one or any country can pretend to love Egypt more than its military. As chief security officers therein, they acted in the best interest of their country by checking an existential threat which the Morsi led Muslim Brotherhood government represented. Think of Israel; think of the economic importance of the Suez canal; think of other incendiary situations therein in Middle East and their potential unravelling; and then juxtapose them with the known Muslim Brotherhood's positions and dispositions towards them and it should have been more of kudos to the Egyptian military for acting when they acted than the current politically-correct knifing. Icheoku says hail to the Egyptian military for their decisive action in stopping the Muslim Brotherhood before they could cause further damage to a citadel of civilization. No sacrifice, no price, no trade, including the alleged slaughter of mere 1000 Islamist fanatics, is rather too much for what inaction and the continued existence of the Morsi Muslim Brotherhood government would have portended. ENOUGH of the chastising of the Egyptian military! 

BUHARI'S REPORT CARD, EL-RUFAI REFRESHES NIGERIANS' MINDS?

"It is strange that a Buhari who protests when allegations of N2.5 billion (about US $3billion in those days!) missing oil funds are levelled against him can gleefully elevate similar claims into facts when it concerns others. Buhari has remained perpetually unelectable because his record as military head of state is a warning that many Nigerians have wisely heeded. His insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known. 

In 1984, Buhari allowed 53 suitcases belonging to his ADC’s father to enter Nigeria unchecked at a time the country was exchanging old currency for new.  Against all canons of legal decency, he used retroactive laws to execute three young men for drug-peddling after they were convicted by a military tribunal and not regular courts of law. Buhari was so high handed that he gave himself and his officials immunity even from truthful reporting. That obnoxious Decree 4, against which truth was no defence, was used to jail journalists and attempt to cow the media as a whole. That tyrannical legislation shows the essence of his intolerance. These are facts of recent history. 

Having seen his version of discipline, Nigerians are not likely to cherish an encore. The story of counter-trade and import licensing, the cornerstone of Buhari’s stone-age economic strategy and those whose interests it served, is a tale for another day. Now is time for a new generation of leaders with new thinking and wholesome democratic attitude to move our nation forward." - Mallam el-Rufai on why Nigerians must shun Muhammadu Buhari on his quest to rule Nigeria ever again. Icheoku says well encapsulated and states that Nigerians have already since taken NOTE of the fundamentalist tendencies of the gaunt army man.

FEMI KAYODE, THE MAN WHO TOLD ON WOMEN HE SLEPT WITH.

Icheoku says behold the man who outed several women he allegedly slept with in the past. His name is Femi Fani Kayode, here pictured with his wife number three whom he married after two previous divorces from women who could not stand his idiosyncrasies including his addiction to controlled substances? The fact that he is supposedly "happily" married with SIX grown up daughters did not give him a reason to be circumspect with his past dalliances. Now people who had slept with his wives, including wife number three, Regina Fani Kayode (pictured) and daughters are now lining up to tell their tales. Icheoku says this man is indeed mental for breaching a known cardinal rule of the bedroom - what is done behind the closed door remains just a two affair. What a basketmouth this Femi Fani Kayode is, who cannot keep the least secret about his sac romps.

FEMI FANI KAYODE'S OUTING, IN DEFENCE OF THOSE IGBO WOMEN.

Icheoku says those three Igbo women were not loose women, neither did they commit any outrageous sin including the 6th commandment sin of adultery. No, they did nothing unusual in dating a man as any young spinster and bachelor would and does before settling down. If any person is at odds here, it is that person who committed the unforgivable sin of outing a bedfellow and hence violated the cannon ethos of the bedroom. It is that blabbermouth who went to town, beating his chest that he slept with some three Igbo women, that should be and ought to be hung out to dry here and none other. Icheoku says what Femi Fani Kayode did, telling on women he slept with, is not only petty, but puerile and unmanly. Real men do not kiss and tell, nor do they run their mouths about their exploits in the sac and what happened behind closed doors with their women. 

There is certain ethical rule involved and that is why sex is conducted in privacy and usually behind closed doors where the compromising parties are usually in a world of their own, alone and all to themselves. So for any man or any person for that matter to violate this cardinal rule of engagement, intentionally breaking the sacred code of silence of don't ask, don't tell of what went down behind closed doors or curtain, is to say the least despicable. Such a person or man does not deserve the benefit of such sexual encounter and is not worthy of the quality time spent pulsating at each other's arms. If it were in certain cultures, such a person would be fed a cement solution to permanently seal off his trap for good; and where prerogative of mercy is exercised to save his life, his lips would be sewn together with thread or better glued with super glue. That basket mouth Femi Fani Kayode deserves to be so treated is a fact; but luckily for him he lives in Nigeria and in Nigeria such rats are tolerated and given accommodation. 

How dare this bastard son of Yorubaland out three decent women who merely fell for his sweet talk and went to bed with him? Not even the legendary women trap, Olusegun Obasanjo, whose exploits with women is notorious, would descend to this lowly dungeon of telling the prohibited. Certain boundaries are considered indeed sacred when it comes to issues of men and women in love or who are having sexual dalliances, as outsiders can only but guess if they are getting at it and are indulged to make all speculations as who is humping or had humped who? Icheoku therefore call on these three Igbo women to immediately consult their lawyers for an action in defamation against Femi Fani Kayode who tarnished their standing and respect in the community and before their husbands, families and friends who now consider them as women of easy virtue who so slept around that they slept with a Yoruba blabbing bastard. Imagine the torment these three women are now facing in front of their husbands and admirers just for an indiscretion of many decades ago which the drug junkie now brought to light. 

Icheoku is emphatic that the alleged sexual encounter is probably of "a he said, she said" nature without more or any real smoking gun. Since no sex video exist which incidented the alleged sexual encounters between FFK and these three women, the rat, Femi Fani Kayode cannot authoritatively and conclusively substantiate his claims. Therefore, the three Igbo women should immediately hold a press conference, emphatically deny the encounter, demand an apology and a retraction and thereafter, institute an action for punitive damages for defamation of character and maligning of their names by FFK. Until then, these ladies should consider the alleged as a minor distraction and continue to walk with their heads tall as they did not do the unthinkable as single spinsters usually date around. 

Icheoku says these women are not victims but conquerors as they have further reduced and diminished this imbecile Femi Fani Kayode in the eyes of the Nigerian public who henceforth will see him as a kiss and tell womanizer. As a consequence, Femi Fani Kayode shall be avoided by people with something dear to them to protect or hide knowing that the blabbermouth cannot be trusted to keep some confidences. If it is not these three women today being outed, it may be anybody tomorrow; and which person can still trust such a cholera/diarrhea mouth Femi Fani Kayode again? What a raving demented dingo this Femi Fani Kayode is and who deserves to be permanently silenced and shunned by the media and the public. Icheoku says in addition to losing his mind, Femi Fani Kayode has also completely and totally lost his manhood too. Femi Fani Kayode broke the bedroom equivalent of the Sicilian sacred oath of Omerta and deserves the fate which await such transgressors. What a RAT. (FYI: Icheoku has it on good authority that the late Ikemba snatched or rather took Bianca away from Femi Fani Kayode, just to set the records straight.)

GOVERNOR FASHOLA, AN AVOWED IGBO HATER?

 

Icheoku queries where Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State drives the powers to summarily internally deport fellow Nigerians from their country? His heavy handedness of Igbo dominated Ladipo Market traders is all too recent to forget; and now he has deported about 70 Nigerians of Igbo descent out of Lagos Sate under false pretenses and this law breaker is a LAWYER with knowledge of enshrined constitutional rights of these deportees? Anyway, Icheoku reserves further comments on this man until our oped is ready; but we are sure to conclude that by this latest action of the alaaye governor of Lagos State, who did not deem it fit to also deport the thousands of Hausa/Fulani almajiris in Lagos back to the North, that he sure not disposed well to the Igbos of Nigeria? His latest action when read in tandem with his precedents is a serious cause for concern as it attacks the cohesive essence of Nigeria and its viability as a one state. Icheoku asks, has religion something to do with this disparity in treatment since Fashola like the Northern almajiris are both muslims and therefore it is okay to let Northerners remain in Lagos while their Igbo counterparts are forcibly shoved out in the dead of the night and possibly in leg chains and handcuffs - shackled and manacled like slaves and in their COUNTRY? Icheoku is darn furious and calls for concerted action in protest.
