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.

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.

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.

PRESIDENT BUHARI KILLS DEMOCRACY, IMPOSES BUHARIOCRACY ON NIGERIA?

Icheoku says many discerning Nigerians saw it coming and therefore are not fazed with the current Northern regionalization of Nigeria by the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari. Icheoku bemoans that President Muhammadu Buhari successfully mislead many Nigerians into believing that he has changed his old ways of being an unrepentant Northern Hausa/Fulani zealot when they voted for him on March 29, 2015.  These brainless Nigerians are now finding out the rude-shock hard-way that the Muhammadu Buhari of 1983 to 1985 is not any different from the Muhammadu Buhari of 2015; as a full grown person does not easily learn to be left-handed at an adult age. 

Instead of practicing the all inclusive democracy that brought him to power as well as implementing its ideals of equality of all and a collective governance, President Muhammadu Buhari has now reverted to his autocratic dictatorship mode and style of governance; and because he is no longer in military uniform, has now branded the type of government he is running, a "Buhariocracy." Icheoku says Buhariocracy as defined, is a government of Northerners by Northerners and for Northerners? Which leaves Icheoku wondering out aloud whatever happened to the promise to by President Muhammadu Buhari to be a president of all and who belongs to nobody. Icheoku asks is any part of Nigeria excluded or excludable from the Nigeria known to President Muhammadu Buhari that a solid part of it has not got any appointment so far? Imagine 36 appointments so far made, 29 went to the North, 4 to the Southwest, 2 to the Southsouth and 0 (none) to the Southeast. Yet President Goodluck Jonathan is not from the Southeast, admitted the people of Southeast adopted him, leaving Icheoku wondering if President Muhammad Buhari is on a mission to finally finish some unfinished business of 1967. 

Shockingly, Nigerians are beginning to find out that this "converted democrat" is afterall in name and title only; as the leopard never changes its color. Icheoku has grave concern that this lean and mean man of Daura is governing  as if Nigeria does not matter to him and could care less if his action pushes Nigeria over the precipice.  Unfortunately,  because he is doing just one single term in office and will not run again to canvas the people for their votes, he does not care either what the people thinks of his actions. Now Nigerians have finally met their match as this cattleman president from Daura simply does not give a damn. If only former President Jonathan of Otuoke did follow through his mouthing-off of that sentence with some action, may be he will still be in Aso Rock? Icheoku does not know whether Baba Iyabo, Olusegun Obasanjo, will similarly write President Muhammadu Buhari  his own satanic verses to remind him what he is doing wrong in a democracy.  Icheoku says someone needs to coral President Muhammadu Buhari into understanding that he did not win the election alone but through collective effort of millions of people from every divergent part of Nigeria many of who deserve to be somewhat represented in government.
