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.

NIGERIAN BLOGGERS BEWARE, BUHARI IS COMING TO GET YOU FLOGGED?

Icheoku says like Saudi Arabians, Nigerian bloggers will face a very hard time in the unfortunate event the lean and mean Muhammadu Buhari has his way with a bemused Nigerian polity and secures a win. In Saudi Arabia, a blogger Raif Badawi was sentenced to TEN YEARS imprisonment and additional 1000 LASHES for merely blogging. So ask yourself Nigerians, especially the Internet generation, whether you want to take such a chance under a Buhari government or would you rather do the needful now to stop him from nearing the gates of Aso Rock. Call a friend, text a friend, inbox a friend and ask them to spread the message today that taking such a chance with a Buhari administration is suicidal and not a risk worth taking. If you love blogging then you must love not to be disturbed from blogging; so beware!

According to sources, in a model similar to Kano State Hisba religious vigilantes, Muhammadu Buhari will establish "bulala or koboko" bearing blogger-minders to whip senses back to "errant" Nigerian bloggers if elected. It will be akin  to the WAI brigade of his first coming that enforced his War Against Indiscipline rigorous rules; including inflicting physical pain with koboko whips, public stripping naked, flog-jumping, doing press-up, picking trash and swearing on the grave of your ancestors to become a better citizen who loves his president and country? Icheoku says why wait to find out since you already had a preview of what lies in wait from the example of Saudi Arabia; instead of doing something to prevent it and NOW!

Icheoku calls on Nigerian bloggers and every online operators and users to, with your votes, tell Muhammadu Buhari now that 'blogging is not bad for your back'; but that it is a healthy mental exercise and a protected freedom of speech right under the constitution. Please don't wait till the day after February 14 to tell him because the despot Muhammadu Buhari has shown times and times again that he is no respecter of either the law or the constitution and would be deaf-toned then. The time is now and particularly on February 14, so that the message will have some weight. 

Icheoku says please do not wait to find out the hard way; JUST STOP HIM NOW. On February 14, VOTE GEJ; under whose administration blogging and other online activities has thrived in Nigeria and everyone is free and enjoying unlimited rights to free speech. Icheoku uses this opportunity to call on the Saudi Arabian authority to FREE Raif Badawi as blogging is not a threat to their maximum rule or control of the oil dollars flowing into their private Swiss accounts. Icheoku says 'Je Suis Raif Badawi;' FREE BADAWI NOW but will not similarly plead in the event they buy into the Buhari snake-oil some bad fellows in Nigeria is trying to sell to gullible Nigerians.
Further floggings of Saudi Arabian blogger Raif Badawi could cause debilitating long-term physical and mental damage.
