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

“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.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

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.

IRANIAN NUCLEAR DEAL, A SMART IRAN SHOULD DEAL NOW?

Icheoku says if only the Islamic Republic of Iran is smart enough to know that the present opportunity presented at the ongoing nuclear negotiation with the West is a once in a life opportunity that should be grasped with both hands, they would have since done the needful and put their pen on the paper sealing the deal. A great risk which President Barack Obama is taking and against all odds, especially a stiff opposition by the Jewish State of Israel and a United States of America congress which is literally in Tel Aviv's pocket, negotiating what would be literally the mother of all negotiations to end the continuing tension in the Middle East and years of no real diplomatic relationship with the West. So why is the Islamic republic holding out or rather stretching this talk and needlessly trying to sabotage an opportunity of a lifetime which if it goes might never surface again. 

Icheoku says only a non-white president of the United States of America could bravely go up against such entrenched Zionist's interest to keep Iran permanently isolated; and therefore a thinking Iran must as a matter of urgency not allow this presented window to be shut on its face, not now that so many things are this close to being realized. This Iranian nuclear deal is a great opportunity that will also normalize their relationship with the West, a relationship which has been on ice or rather on tundra frost for so many decades since that 1973 hostage taking at American embassy in Tehran. It is an opportunity worth taking now while a president who is not entirely beholden to the wishes of the state of Israel still sits in the Oval office. Icheoku laments that the Iranians are still dragging this thing out and you ask for what purpose or eventual end and conclusion? A deal they should have since accepted on its surface and then consequent thereof, ask for some periodic tweaking as their implementations come alive. But unfortunately world politics is not that easy as so many vested interests particularly President Vladimir Putin's Russia, is flexing its muscles and through back channels encouraging Iranian obstinacy and never landing on this deal. Icheoku is emphatic that but for President Putin's encouragement and arm twisting, Iran would have since put pen on the paper on this nuclear deal that has severally reached set deadlines with new ones set but which never gets to conclusively seal it. 

But hey, like with everything else, talks or diplomacy does have a shelf line. Icheoku prays the Iranians would realize this inevitable fact and strike while the deal is still hot and available or forever regret missing such a golden opportunity presented to them while a president named Barack Hussein Obama still presides at the White House. Icheoku knows for a fact that there are so many people in the United States congress as well as opinion leaders and leaders of industry and some other world leaders who wish this deal is never reached because they are beholden to Israel and wants to do what will please Bibi Netanyahu, the chief antagonist of any deal with Iran. But while President Obama still can, pushing back so the avalanche of pressure from this anti-deal quarters, Iran should do the needful and sign this deal. They should put an end to all these their puerile standoff which is not in their best interest and sign the deal  without any further ado, delay, hesitation or needless shifting of goalpost or making unattainable demands. Icheoku therefore calls on the authorities in Tehran, particularly the Ayatollah, to sign off on this deal and authorize for the deal to be signed. It is in the interest of world peace and the people of Iran who have waited since 1973 to be fully assimilated back to the world community and cease being seen as pariahs or untouchable lepers that this deal is reached and signed now. Unlike Bibi Netanyahu who condemns any deal as bad deal and said that a no-deal is better than a bad deal, Icheoku counters that any deal over the nuclear ambition of the Iranians is better than a deal not being reached at all; as any grey areas could be tweaked later. So Iranians, do the needful, sign the deal NOW.
