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.

TRANSFORMATION, NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH CHANGE - OYEGUN


"Let me assure you that transformation is different from change. They said they have transformed the economy but there are no jobs. They said they have transformed energy but there is no light.  They said they have transformed security but the Northeast is almost gone and they said that have transformed education but out universities are shut down." John Odigie-Oyegun, Chairman APC.

Icheoku says a very beautiful campaign liner indeed, except that the APC is backing a wrong, untamed bronco in Muhammadu Buhari. Icheoku says with such an Islamic agenda fundamentalist record as Buhari's, Buhari does not stand a winnable chance in a national referendum about who will preside over a multi tribal, multi cultural and multi religious country like Nigeria. Icheoku says Buhari also does  not stand a chance among thinking Nigerians, especially those whose "stomach infrastructure" has been fully laid. Icheoku says Buhari does not also stand a chance among those Nigerians old enough to have lived through the nightmare and survived his gulag-themed first military adventure in Nigeria's governance. Icheoku says Buhari does not stand a chance among those Nigerians who treasure their liberties and who do not want the abolition of alcohol or the chopping off of body parts because of a little infraction like stealing a chicken. So like a beautiful golden casket does not change the fact of its dead content, so also will a well thought out sloganeering not help a politically damaged Buhari.

Icheoku says the fear of imposition of Sharia in Nigeria is real and pervades the polity like an un-lifting dark-cloudy fog. Icheoku says the fear of Buhari canceling everything in the pipeline including the few working policies of the present government, like he cancelled the Jakande era Lagos Metro project, is also real. Icheoku says the fear of a vengeful Buhari going amok with vendetta against his real and imaginary enemies is also real. Icheoku says the rule number one of survival is to not help bring about the threatening ominous opportunity, hence Nigerians will avoid like Ebola, any situation that will expose them to such detrimental possibilities through a Buhari's coming to power again. With Buhari's antecedent, every Nigerian know what the deal is, so why poke danger in the eye by giving him power to destroy people he disagrees with?  So, believing that the man who owns, runs and dictates to everyone in the APC, Bola Tinubu, is fully aware of all these shortcomings of candidate Muhammadu Buhari, Icheoku  says please Bola Tinubu, DO NOT SCREW this 2015 opportunity to have a truly competitive national election in Nigeria. 

Icheoku truthfully speaking, indeed believe that a good opposition candidate would give President Jonathan a run for his money as his performance in office is near mediocre;  BUT maintains that such candidate must not be or have a Buhari as his last name. Say no to Buhari, say no to taking Nigeria three decades back. Nigerians, forward ever and  backward never. Please Nigerians you don't have to vote because you like Jonathan, just vote against and in order to stop the train wreck that is a Buhari's second coming. It is only banana republics that goes so way back to find a near senile washed-out ex-leader to lead them. The last time Icheoku checked, it is not all that bad in Nigeria in terms of finding a viable effective leader to propel the country forward. 

Image is still about almost everything, so why settle for a barely-literate army man for someone who has a PhD, admitted in Zoology. But do not take Icheoku's word for it, just do some googling yourself to see the prestige involved in "The president of my country has a PhD" as opposed to "The president of my country has a pfi and is a former army coup plotter who desecrated the institution of democracy in Nigeria. How about that friends for motivation. So please  Nigerians get involved today in anyway whatsoever in helping to educate those still undecidedly quivering on the fence as to why Muhammadu Buhari is a wrong candidate for the APC and a flawed choice for Nigeria. Nigeria is moving forward and going back is not and should not be an option in 2015. Say no to Buhari and please let Bola Tinubu know that Nigerians say NO to a BUHARI's second coming. Icheoku says John Oyegun, please find an acceptable candidate to market to Nigerians in 2015v with this beautiful campaign sloganeering. Icheoku likes it but without candidate Muhammadu Buhari.
