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.

NO CERTIFICATE, NO DEBATE, YET WANTS THE JOB?

Icheoku says any applicant who wants a job normally applies, enclosing his or her necessary qualifying certificates as proof of qualification for the position. The prospective employer, after reviewing the enclosed certificate/s and determines the requisite is met, then invites the candidate for an interview; to then assess his or her understanding and ability to do the said job if hired. But the drama that is unfolding in Nigeria where a candidate for the job of Nigeria's presidency, neither has necessary qualifying certificate nor would agree to interview for the job he applied for, leaves so much to be desired. 

Icheoku queries how then can any prospective employer evaluate such candidate for suitability for the job, with neither his certificate nor his availability for a one on one meet?  Then ask yourself, faced with such lack of certificate and denial of opportunity to meet and talk, how would any employer seriously consider such candidate for the job applied; since there is nothing the employer could use to assess qualification for the job and readiness/ability to same, if hired?  Icheoku says APC Muhammadu Buhari has no certificate and will not debate, yet he wants the job of Nigeria's presidency? So how else possible could this be except through quota system, where meritocracy is sacrificed on the alter of 'born to rule' Fulani ideology, that has dragged Nigeria into the sewer from which it has been  trying to pull itself out all this past years?  

Icheoku says by neither producing his required qualifying certificate nor agreeing to interview for the job, by way of debate,  Muhammadu Buhari has shown serious contempt and ridicule to the Nigerian public, his prospective employer? His conduct shows someone not seriously applying for such a very serious job and therefore should be rejected and not hired. The Nigerian public must therefore, with their votes, reciprocate this Muhammadu Buhari's snub of them, by not  hiring him to be their president, come March 28. How can any Nigerian still vote for this man, after he so thumbed his nose on Nigerians by not conforming to their stipulated rule of engagement to participate in their presidential election.

It is also laughable that Muhammadu Buhari does not want Nigerians to judge him by his murderous past record as a brutal military dictator? But ask yourselves Nigerians, if Buhari wants his sordid past made a no-go area in this election, why is he then beating his chest as a fighter of corruption, when he earned the same honor during the same past he now wants Nigerians to file away in their checkered past history? So what is the merit of such selective heroism if not to mislead and misguide Nigerians in this election season? Why remember to honor my anti-corruption stance but please forget my murderous enslavement of Nigerians? 

Icheoku says this plea for  selective amnesia as it appertains to some misdeeds but brilliant recollection as it affects others must be igored by Nigerians. Otherwise if they listen to Buhari to ignore his past, it must be totally and completely; they must as of necessity equally ignore everything in Buhari's past including his fabled anti-corruption image. This done, Muhammadu Buhari must default back to what he is - a complete  tabula-rasa and therefore running on empty and with nothing to prop him with. So Muhammadu Buhari, Icheoku says you must decide, whether Nigerians should still heed your plea and completely erase all your past or hold you accountable for your past, which is the only records Nigerians have of you? Please Nigerians, ignore this snake-oil, VOTE GEJ.
