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.

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

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.

MUHAMMADU BUHARI AT 10 DOWNING STREET, DISRESPECTFULLY STOOD UP BY CAMERON?

Icheoku asks what went down at London's 10 Downing Street that Nigeria's President-elect Muhammadu Buhari was left standing outside at the door, like an errand messenger boy, in breach of all known protocols? Icheoku believes that Muhammadu Buhari went there at the invitation of or with knowledge of officials of Prime Minister David Cameron, so they cannot plead that they were not aware of his presence and therefore should have treated him with much better decorum, befitting a man of his status and what he represents. Icheoku admonishes that for the British Prime Minister David Cameron's officials to stand Nigeria's President-elect Muhammadu Buhari outside 10 Downing Street, even for a trifle moment, is not a good show or display of camaraderie nor a nice diplomatic nicety between both countries. Icheoku therefore calls on Nigeria government to vehemently protest this treatment of the elected president by the British Prime Minister David Cameron office as it is both demeaning and unpalatable diplomatic letdown. 

Icheoku asks why treat Muhammadu Buhari with such ignominy, abandoned at the door and waiting to be let into 10 Downing Street. It shows that those British people don't care about black people especially Africans; moreso, when they are Nigerians, the reason they treated its leader with such levity. Where was Prime Minister David Cameron's protocol officials and why did they not let Muhammadu Buhari in and even if the Prime Minister was not ready to see him just yet, despite being on a scheduled visit, kept him inside a waiting room or tea room pending when time permits for them to see.  Icheoku had warned but Nigerians did not hear nor listen that the Western powers that forced President Jonathan out of Aso Rock did not do so out of love for Nigeria but in order to stop the developmental progress of the past years. Now look at the disrespect shown to the same man they championed his election and you wonder what did Muhammadu Buhari do to deserve this treatment. 

When this people are visiting Nigeria, even if it is their ordinary Secretary of State or Foreign Secretary, the whole government of Nigeria will remain standing still to cater to their heart desires until they depart Nigeria; but they will not reciprocate such goodwill when Nigerian officials, including their president-elect visits them?  It shows that this white people don't really care a hoot about black people, neither do they like them and would readily treat everything about them with willful indifference. Icheoku knows this first hand and would safely vouchsafe that possibly behind that 10 Downing Street door, they will be peeping at a standing Muhammadu Buhari and mouthing, 'this African ecstatic again, look at his outfit' and wondering whether he has only one of it? Anyway it is the cross Nigerians have to bear for the next four years, having elected a president who is now stood up and outside of 10 Downing Street London, waiting to be allowed in.
