YUSUF BUHARI ACCIDENT: THAT RECORDS BE SET STRAIGHT..

ICHEOKU says once again taking out time to correct some misconceptions and misinformation currently spreading throughout Nigeria, especially the social media Nigeria world, about and concerning the recent motorcycle accident suffered by President Muhammadu Buhari's son, Yusuf Buhari.  Many false alarmists have spread the rumor that Yusuf was riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle and that the motorcycle cost him $1 million USD. ICHEOKU says nothing could be so far from the truth than both information. 

First the motorcycle which Yusuf had his accident with is not a Harley Davidson motorcycle; and secondly, Harley Davidson Motorcycle Corporation does not make a million dollar motorcycle in the course of its motorcycle manufacturing business. Most of its motorcycles are priced under $75,0000. However, it has made ONE ever one million dollar motorcycle in its entire existence and it was specifically designed and manufactured for a person, American artist Jack Armstrong.  ONLY ONE of the motorcycle  exists in the entire planet earth and it still belongs to the original owner. 

Jack Armstrong owns this one and only particular custom-made motorcycle, which he named the Cosmic Starship. He personally hand painted the motorcycle, using his exclusive cosmic exceptionalism, extreme colors and textures which were meshed into it.  It is a unique motorcycle which has been described as not just a motorcycle, but a pure artwork on two wheels. So Nigerians, ICHEOKU cautions to please thread softly and to stop spreading false and Fake News, which is ordinarily easily verifiable but for laziness of a people bent on propagating certain skewed narrative. 

Further, those wishing Yusuf ill should know that accidents do happen and it is not any person's specific. It happened to the president's son today and tomorrow it could be another person's son, including you that is reading this piece. So it is incredibly unbelievable that anyone should take delight in that the president's son suffered such a ghastly accident. A matter made more iffy because we all live in this funny world where  things we wish others has a magical way of finding their way back to us. But be that as it may, just be advised that Yusuf is but a son of President Muhammadu Buhari and not the president himself; and that none of us ever had a choice in which family we are born into. You can hate the president all you want, but please do not transfer the hatred to his innocent son, who was just being a teenager or rather a young adolescent and having good time, but unfortunately had an accident. ICHEOKU says may Yusuf Buhari have a speedy recovery IJN.

FFK WAS WRONG: TB JOSHUA DID NOT MAKE WEAH PRESIDENT..

ICHEOKU says felt scandalized by the revisionist Femi Fani Olukayode's attempt to rewrite history by arrogating to TB Joshua the election victory of George Weah in the just concluded Liberian presidential re-run election. Femi was on record boasting that it was TB Joshua who made George Weah's victory possible; which to many Nigerians who followed George Weah's last October's visit to the Synagogue was nothing but a tissue of lies. 

ICHEOKU is emphatic that TB Joshua neither saw the vision of George Weah's coming victory nor did he offer any special prayers of goodluck for George Weah, because before George's visit, his opponent, Joseph Boakai, had earlier made contacts with Joshua and they discussed or rather prayed for his own victory. This is the reason TB Joshua was coy in not directly praying for George Weah's victory specifically, nor made any affirmation to him; but cleverly passed the ball unto God's court as whatever God willed for Liberia. 

TB Joshua in his own exact own words said to George Weah: 

"My brother is here today because he loves his country and wants God’s choice for his country. He is not here to impose himself. What does God say about his country, Liberia? What is God’s opinion? That is why he is here. I am not favoring any particular candidate but will pray for “the will of God” to be done in the nation of Liberia. We are not herbalists or witch-doctors; we are people of God. God’s choice is our choice. We cannot pray against God’s will. Without God’s corresponding power, we cannot pray to Him. For every step we take – every movement and action – intimation comes first. There must be a suggestion from the Spirit to move before we move. If truly I am a man of God, I must hear from God – move or don’t move. The incumbent Vice President and your contender in the upcoming presidential run-off, Joseph Boakai, had also contacted me to request a meeting. God’s opinion is what we should seek in our country – simple! God is the Answer, the Final."

ICHEOKU says yet, despite this direct evidence of the answer which TB Joshua gave to George Weah, that the will of God will be done for Liberia, Femi Fani Olukayode is still gallivanting all over the place, deceiving some gullible Nigerians with his TB Joshua did it propaganda. Pitiful Femi and some Nigerians are listening to this his bunkum hogwash. SAD.

PATRICE NGANANG: BANISHED FROM CAMEROON.

Patrice Nganang, a dual Cameroon and American citizen, professor of literature and activist, was arrested during a trip to his motherland Cameroon by Cameroonian government. He was detained for several weeks, then released and banished; and asked never to come back to Cameroon. 

ICHEOKU says Africa is suffering a continent-wide political dysmenorrhea and in Cameroon sits one of the longest reigning head of government, a tin-god dictator called Paul Biya, who has been in government since 1984. He admits of no opposition nor criticism and you wonder what will it eventually take Africans to finally liberate themselves from their internal colonialists. How a single person will be ruling a country for over three decades is simply mind boggling. Away with despotism; chase Paul Biya away. What is the Cameroonian military waiting for to give Paul Biya the Robert Mugabe treatment? Do it now.

BUHARI'S PERFORMANCE OR LACK THEREOF: THE JOKE IS ON NIGERIANS.

ICHEOKU says what were they thinking when they voted him president of Nigeria in the first place. An ascetic who literally has nothing to show for as great accomplishments, other than his mercurial rise to the top in the Nigeria army through a favoritism based quota system; but was considered by Nigerians as their then now messiah and the man who will indeed Make Nigeria Great Again. ICHEOKU says really? 

ICHEOKU says it is only a jaundiced mind, which has been brainwashed beyond redemption, by those 419 miracles of riches Business Center Churches, who in the usual expectation of miracles, would have and indeed had expected a spectacular feat by President Muhammadu Buhari's presidency. Unfortunately, Nigeria is brimming with such mind-numb robots and they voted for him; only to now pretend that they voted for something else other than the man presently in Aso Rock and dishing out his meanness and cluelessness on the country. Otherwise, there were no indications that he was going to be a good president, as there were no prior history of great achievement nor a road traveled by him before, to suggest or point to a destination within sight, where a President Muhammadu Buhari would creditably take Nigeria to. But hopeless Nigerian romantics, fantasized along, regardless. 

ICHEOKU is not disappointed at President Muhammadu Buhari's performance so far because nothing wonderfully good was ever expected of him or from his government. Rather, such spectacular performance by him would have been the real rude shock; and not that a man who has no resume`of storied accomplishments did in fact not disappoint those who really knew him and knew exactly what was coming down the pike when Nigeria took that poison pill and elected him into office. Muhammadu Buhari has been around for quite some time that he is somewhat a fixture in the Nigerian political firmament. As a soldier, he was promoted rapidly through the ranks and for no apparent reason other than being from the Northwestern Fulani catchment area. As Governor of North Central State, he has nothing to show for as achievements; ditto his stay as Nigeria's Minister of Petroleum, right through to when he became Head of State and then chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund. 

Why Nigerians decided to elect him president is not clear; except that they wanted to spite the face and cut off the nose in the process; and today the whole country is bleeding for that costly but otherwise avoidable mistake. So if he did not achieve much when he was younger and more vibrant; how any thinking person or people expected him to do much now that youth is no longer his companion is the surprise in the whole matter. No Nigerian was forced to vote for Buhari as their president in 2015 and he had on three previous occasions offered himself to Nigerians for the office but was resoundingly rejected each time. It was not until Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu pulled a fast one on Nigerians, sort of a 419 move, by assuring Nigerians that Muhammadu Buhari is now a "Converted Democrat" and that he will hold his feet to the fire of performance that Nigerians bought the snake oil which Tinubu sold them. 

Today, it is all regrets galore and a lot of buyer's remorse as a forlorn fog has since enveloped the country with people begging for 2019 to speedily come by so that they can, hopefully, jettison him from Aso Rock. But not too fast Nigerians, as the man in Aso Rock does not have any plans to leave nor would he allow Nigerians to stampede him out of the seat of power. It may not be that easy, admitted they can try as their are constitutionally empowered to do. 

Nigerians were led to believe that an old dog was capable of learning new tricks; and that the leopard can change its spots and they trooped out and voted for President Muhammadu Buhari during the last election; only to now turn around to complain that he has not kept his promises nor performed creditably well. ICHEOKU says really; and on what track records of his was this their great expectation base on? It is indeed those Nigerians who had expected great performance and who are now expressing disappointment in the mediocre performance of President Muhammadu Buhari who themselves need to have their heads examined. Their neurons must not have been firing well for them to have expected some productivity from a known real clueless one, who has nothing to his credit prior to this presidency to warrant such expectation. 

It is indeed laughable that any Nigerian expected President Muhammadu Buhari to be the best president Nigeria ever had or could have. It is the stuff delirium is made of; requiring the suspension of disbelief to really believe that anyone ever arrived at such a conclusion that a President Muhammdu Buhari was ever going to accomplish much. 

ICHEOKU says trying to understand an illiterate running a government is akin to trying to understand why an illiterate housewife or even a husband for that matter, is always contentious and intolerant of certain social behaviors that is ordinarily tolerated and acceptable within any given set up. Such people do not understand logic or nuances; nor are they equipped with the capacity to engage in clear thought and critical thinking. Big picture issues is not their strongest suit either and they greatly labor through sourced information and explanations. They lack vision and foresight; and worse of, their penchant to micro manage everything is legendary. They are not self assured, hence they are always suspicious of individuals around them and in their attempt to prove themselves, they end up over doing things. They easily reject wise counsel and are averse to people who know better than them being around them. They are reactionary and their inferiority complex often times make them obstinate to a fault, such that they often times discard proven solutions rather than be seen as taking instructions from some other party. They are also mean; extremely despotic and vicious. Their level of distrust of others is such that nobody dare have a contrary opinion around them. 

President Muhammadu Buhari is all the above, an illiterate, a certificate-less one for that matter. In the tier of illiteracy, President Muhammadu Buhari is a bottom dweller and it shows in a Nigeria that is today, totally subdued and laboring under a heavy load of mismanagement and bad governance. But Nigerians, instead of trying to proactively correct their Buhari mistake, having identified the root cause of his incompetence as illiteracy, are strangely rooting for yet another illiterate Abubakar Atiku and you wonder what would it take for Nigerians to learn their lesson. This is the strangest of the strangeness now unfolding in Nigeria that Nigerians are in fact trying to replace the pet dog with a pet monkey and you ask yourself are they not both four legged pets. ICHEOKU calls it the real madness which is unfolding in Nigeria presently, the feverish megalomania associated with an Abubakar Atiku being an alternative to Muhammadu Buhari. ICHEOKU says this is the height of great unthinkingness and it shows that Nigerians are impervious to correction and are too obstinate to learn from their past mistakes. 

The same people who foist the mediocrity that is President Muhammadu Buhari on themselves, are once again lining up behind another certificate-less man, Abubakar Atiku; and you wonder what is the difference in their minds between six and a half dozen. What is the guiding philosophy of a people, who repeatedly do the same thing over and over again, while expecting an alternate result? How else does any sane person explain Nigerians or is there something inherently wrong in their DNA that make them to self immolate; such that each and every time they have the opportunity to help themselves make things better, they end up self destructing. Madness could not have any better definition, outside the McNaughton's Rule, than what Nigerians perpetually and repeatedly bring upon themselves. How and why do they do it, nobody knows. But anyone clinging to an Atiku's presidency is part of the problem with Nigeria and such person needs to cease and desist henceforth from such errancy. If Nigeria ever stands a chance at greatness or indeed even survival, Abubakar Atiku is definitely not the vehicle to get us there. 

ICHEOKU maintains that the only reason President Muhammadu Buhari is a sub-par performer is that his brain is not developed enough to engage in critical and logical thinking; and peradventure have some understanding of principles of macro economics which drives the global economy. He is apparently constrained and indeed confined and confounded by some inherent factors associated with an undeveloped mind. He cannot think outside the box and he is afraid of venturing outside his well established comfort zone. He drives some level of security being inside his familiar territory and therefore being heavily holed in, finds it extremely difficult to venture outside his given set of primitive parameters.  But unfortunately for Buhari and his Nigeria, the rest of the world has since moved on from and away from the mindset which still philosophizes about Western Germany. It is his immersion in Stone Age principles of economic management and political governance that makes President Muhammadu Buhari to still want to micro manage Nigeria. 

The result is the noticeable stagnation in every facet of the country, because what worked in the 1980s does not, no longer works and cannot work in the 21st century 2015 to date. This is the crux of the matter, the mindset which is driving Nigeria with antiquated doctrines and principles, which is so stale and no longer applicable nor  compatible with modern economics management. The reason Nigerians are aghast at what their country has become under an inept leadership of a mediocrity known as President Muhammadu Buhari. As a matter of fact, the joke is actually on those Nigerians who were expecting water from a rock and good yield from a dry arid land; and who were expectant that a man with Buhari's sketchy track record of performance was going to suddenly transform into a great performer overnight. His lack of ability and capability was obvious before the election and right from day one has not changed; and the warning lights were everywhere solid red. But unfortunately, a people who have since disengaged their critical thinking and analytical prowess, and now believes in miracles of all kinds, thought otherwise; and it has come to bite them bigly. 

A society that has refused to be proactive in its affairs, but repeatedly engages in fire brigade approach of after the fact reaction to problem solving, can only have itself to blame for the hand being dealt them by repeated clueless and incompetent governments; that has somewhat become the curse of the Nigeria. Nigerians have as a matter of practice refuses to bolt the barn door to prevent the bull from escaping; but would rather chase it after it has escaped and you wonder why. Yes, many of them ignored the known incompetence and callousness of President Muhammadu Buhari and their hatred for the coward of Otuoke spurred them on and now look who is crying blue murder. ICHEOKU says not so fast Nigerians, because baring any intervention from the On High, President Muhammadu Buhari will remain president for the next five years until 2023. That will be a five long years for Nigerians to purify themselves of their finicky and lackadaisical attitude and learn to become proactive in driving their common destiny to an end which they indeed truly want and desire. 

So instead of complaining and whining about President Buhari's below par performance or overall lack of performance, let those Nigerians who were implicit in bringing about the Buhari presidency take a page from King David and put on sack clothes, throw some ashes  upon themselves and mourn their decision which brought about the current state of affair in Nigeria where nothing is literary working. Even the fact that Muhammadu Buhari was a brutal dictator would have been sufficient to disqualify him were Nigerians a conscionable people and in a working democracy. But not with a people who were bent on torpedoing any semblance of order or rightness which is headed their way. ICHEOKU actually finds it extremely apoplectic that some Nigerians are complaining about President Muhammadu Buhari's continuing callousness and lack of performance and had expected differently. What a display of riveting delusion to think or rather expect that a fully grown, nearly senile grandfather was capable of turning tricks. What a joke of a people, on a people and by a people. Pitiful Nigerians.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF BUHARI: A DOCUMENTARY OF ABSURDITY.

ICHEOKU says Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in fact did President Muhammadu Buhari a great disservice with their documentary - The Human Side of President Muhammadu Buhari, a tacit admission that the man who Nigerians elected their president is in actuality a half human and a half beast. The necessary implication being that the president rightly earned his sobriquet and moniker, the Dracula of Daura; otherwise why did they bother trying to prove that the president is a human being or that part of him is actually human. This is the crossroads where the Nigerian Television Authority has, by no intentional fault of their own, successfully placed the president and thus  confirming what many had suspected for so many years that the man in occupation of Aso Rock is in fact a beast and at best an unfeeling bloody tyrant. 

This now explains without any scintilla of doubt whatsoever the president's harsh treatment of Nigerians, many of who he has murdered for simply engaging in placards carrying peaceful protests. ICHEOKU is emphatic that only animals or rather beasts that consume their own; otherwise how could anyone explain the easiness with which President Muhammdu Buhari orders his armed bandits in uniforms to continuously, violently, repress all manners of freedoms in Nigeria, including peaceful protests. How any president and his armed security agencies, which are supposed to protect the country's  citizens, but randomly turn the muzzle of the guns at them is quite beyond any reasonable fathoming. 

But good enough, the Nigerian Television Authority has done their documentary and they rightly titled it "The Human side of President Muhammdu Buhari"; the implication being that those complaining Nigerians have all along been right that the president has a beastly side; which many have seen and been visited with since the inception of his presidency. Hopefully, the Nigerian Television Authority will someday see it fit to completely showcase the president, by also doing another documentary covering the opposite side of his human side. 

This new documentary should cover the president's beastly side, the side which makes him want to spill the blood of Nigerians, his fellow citizens, for whom he was elected to protect and provide for. It shall also showcase his selective deafness to cries of citizens of Nigeria  under the spell of acute hardship and want. It shall also showcase his overthrowing of a democratically elected President Shehu Shagari's government and all the infra digs he committed following that 1983 putsch. This will help Nigerians as well as possibly any other interested parties worldwide to have a complete picture of the man who has become Nigerians nemesis in chief; except for his few Fulani tribal people to whom he has practically handed over every bounty in Nigeria. So, Nigerian Television Authority, ICHEOKU says when is the beastly side of President Muhammad Buhari documentary going to hit the screen? A mutant of some sort; a humanoid Chinese Zhulong and a character out of Greek mythology and you wonder why Nigeria has gone under under his watch. So, Nigeria Television Authority, ICHEOKU says to do it now. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

HAPPY 117TH BIRTHDAY KOINANGE

ICHEOKU says happy birthday to Elizabeth Gathoni Koinange of Kenya who celebrated her 117th birthday recently. Married into a polygamy, her only advise for up and coming would be wives is DON'T DO IT. According to her, polygamy sucks and it is inhuman for a wife to take turns with other wives to be with their husband. Indeed very humiliating and Nigeria's Abubakar Atiku is a polygamist. Anyway, ICHEOKU wishes Elizabeth many more happy celebrations and she looks good for her century plus age. Congratulations.

TAX REFORM BILL SIGNED INTO LAW.

ICHEOKU says what a huge legislative win by the president who seemed to have saved the best for last, as he ended the year 2017 with a such a big feat, signing the Tax Reform Bill into law. Once again, a man who has become known as a promise keeper has again kept his election campaign promise to reform America's Tax Law. 

ICHEOKU says congratulations to President Donald John Trump for again following through with a promise made, now become a promise kept. The $1.5 trillion tax-cut legislation is a major victory for the president and marks the first major reform in American tax law in over three decades. What a win for Mr President and for a do-nothing Congress which has now finally did something. Way to go; and may that be the beginning of many things to come and become mission accomplished under the presidency of President Donald John Trump and the Republican controlled Congress. Merry Christmas America. 

ICHEOKU'S MAN OF THE YEAR 2017: PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP

ICHEOKU says following an examination of so many nominated individuals, we have determined that this year 2017's man of the year is President Donald John Trump, the 45th Presidnet of the United States of America. He came into office shooting on both hips and as the year draws to an end, his both guns are still firing and smoking. For standing up to the world and starring down American detractors and being the cheerleader and champion in chief of America, the leader of Team Make America Great Again has earned ICHEOKU's man of the year award 2017. Congratulations to President Donald John Trump. 

UNITED NATIONS VOTE: WE DON'T CARE - AMERICA

"This resolution is an unproductive attempt to isolate us for a decision that was our sovereign right to make. The United States will remember this day when it was singled out in the United Nations for the act of exercising our sovereignty. We will remember it when we are called upon once again to make the world's largest contribution to the United Nations. 

And we will remember when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit. America will put our embassy in Jerusalem. No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that. It is what the American people want us to do. This vote will make a difference only as to how America looks at the UN, and how we look at countries who disrespect us at the UN." - Nikki Haley, United States ambassador to the United Nations.

A NON BINDING VOTE BY AN UNITED UNITED NATIONS: OF NO EFFECT.

ICHEOKU says with friends like Britain, France and Germany, does America still need any enemies when the three major European countries will not back America up when they are needed most. Pacifist approach can never and will not solve the Muslim plague afflicting the world and the earlier these pussy-footed countries realizes this the better it is for possible solutions to be found thereat. And so it is that the three countries joined other American rivals Russia and China and 123 others in condemning America's recognition of Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel. A mere formality as Jerusalem has always and will always remain the capital of Israel.  

Canada and Mexico abstained.

The 35 abstentions, plus 21 countries that did not turn up for the vote, were more than many diplomats had expected, suggesting that Trump's hardball tactics had partly worked. The U.S. Mission to the U.N. issued a statement that sought to downplay the broader setback for Trump's policy.

The 193-nation general assembly approved the resolution by a massive margin, with 128 nations in favour, and nine against. There were 35 abstentions

"While the resolution passed, the vote breakdown tells a different story. It's clear that many countries prioritized their relationship with the United States over 


Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N..

The arguments have already been made. The decision was in accordance to US law dating back to 1995. The decision does not prejudge any final status agreement. 

In a series of tweets, Saeb Erekat, SG, PLO "Despite the threats and scare tactics, the world stood with justice."

Ayman Odeh, chairman of the Joint List, the party coalition that represents most Israeli Arabs, "the international community does not accept Trump and Netanyahu's morally bankrupt diplomatic policy."

Some countries that abstained, including Australia, said they disagreed with Trump's decision and condemned unilateral actions on any side. But they said another U.N. resolution would not resolve the dispute.

Canada explained its abstention by saying it considered the resolution one-sided because it did not fully acknowledge the ties to Jerusalem felt by the three major monotheistic faiths: Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

Mexico said it was "alarmed at the distortions" taking place in the peace process and called on the United States to be a mediator in the dispute, and not to take one party's side over the other.

In addition to Israel and the United States, the nations that voted against the resolution were Guatemala and Honduras in Central America, the West African nation of Togo, and the tiny Pacific island states of Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru and Palau.

PRESIDENT TRUMP WARNS THE WORLD: WE DON'T CARE.

"They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we're watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We'll save a lot. We don't care." - President Donald John 

UNITED NATIONS URGED TO THREAD CAREFULLY.

“At the UN we’re always asked to do more and give more. So, when we make a decision, at the will of the American people about where to locate OUR embassy, we don’t expect those we’ve helped to target us. On Thursday there’ll be a vote criticizing our choice. The US will be taking names. The president will be watching this vote carefully and has requested I report back on those countries who voted against us. We will take note of each and every vote on this issue.” - Nikki Harley, United States ambassador to the United Nations; warning member countries about the consequences of their planned condemnation of the decision by America to relocate American embassy to Jerusalem. 

PENTECOSTALISM: A DOCTRINE OF GREED DESTROYING CRITICAL THINKING - IJABLA RAYMOND.

Pentecostal Christianity has corrupted our way of living. The damage that Pentecostal pastors have caused with their exploitative sermons will take decades to undo. Right across the continent, their sermons have destroyed critical thinking and produced a generation of Africans who are magical thinkers. The corruption is pervasive. It is in government, our schools, businesses, in our homes and even in our universities - the seat of all learning and philosophy. It is everywhere. 

Our universities are populated by "intellectuals" who not only believe but also teach that witches are real, that prayers can bring dead people back to life and cure all diseases and make cars drive without any fuel. Our Vice President is a professor of law and he is an ardent follower of a pastor who claims he has all these powers. We are now at a point where the generation that has suffered the most brainwashing is at the helms of our affairs. And they are spreading their corruption. If the person who teaches you science discredits evolution but argues their pastor's car can drive without fuel or that their pastor has resurrected people and cured every disease through prayers and fasting, what values are they imparting to you? The purpose of education is to overcome ignorance, not to validate it. 

Of what use is the kind of education that does not cause us to examine our prejudices? If I received a penny for every time a fellow Nigerian medical doctor argued that prayers cure cancer or resurrect people or that witches and demons are real, I would be a millionaire today. Their evidence is usually stories that have been narrated to them by their pastors, friends and families or the bible. And when I say to them the bible mentions talking snakes and donkeys they tell me I am spiritually blind and cannot understand the things of God. I think it is possible to believe in the existence of God without all that literalism but this is a subject for another day. But what value has pentecostalism added to our society? I can think of none. We are still one of the most corrupt nations on earth, the majority of our citizens subsist on less than one dollar/day, workers are owed wages sometimes running up to six months in arrears, the elderly cannot access their pensions, and our unemployed youths are forced into prostitution and armed robbery. 

The pastorpreneurs do not live by what they preach.They do not care about integrity. We have seen them physically assault church members, involved in questionable business deals, sleep with female church members, tell lies and so on. I could go on and on for days but I would struggle to identify one benefit of Pentecostalism. Greed and selfishness are the ethos of the Pentecostal movement as I have observed it practiced in Nigeria. Pastorpreneurs take money from the weakest and the most vulnerable members of the society such as widows, pensioners, the unemployed and the sick. 

They use it to buy themselves private jets and to build expansive business empires which they will bequeath to their children. They use tithes and offerings to build private schools and universities but the poor church members whose donations built these institutions cannot afford to send their children to these places. On matters that relate to human rights and good governance, we just never hear from these pastor-preneurs. Nigerians are drowning daily in the Mediterranean Sea in search of a better life in Europe. Eunice was murdered in Abuja last year by Muslim youths during evangelism. Another Christian woman was murdered by a Muslim mob in Kano recently. 

Do you hear pastor-preneurs talk about these issues? No! They are deaf and dumb, and they don’t want to know about such “mundane” issues. But as soon as you speak against tithing and threaten their livelihood they come out of hiding and one after the other, sermon after sermon, they use death threats to frighten church members to continue to pay tithes to them. They swamp us with sermons about how an all-sufficient God needs money. They say, God, who is supposedly all-powerful and omni-benevolent, needs money to be able to bless his worshippers. 

Curiously, I have yet to find one pastor use the scriptures to contradict Daddy Freeze on tithing. They have issued curses, death wishes and even tried to use his personal challenges to discredit him but not one bible verse has been used to support their position on tithing. Considering the number of scriptures these people have memorized, I think it is telling that none of them has been able to produce a SINGLE verse to support their craft. One important lesson the debate on tithing has taught us is this: Most Nigerian Christians are pastor-worshippers. They do not think for themselves and cannot read their Bibles without hearing the voices of their pastors in the background. It has taken one man to expose the shallowness with which millions of believers relate to the scriptures they claim to read daily. 

The other lesson is this: When pastor-preneurs use death threats to frighten believers into paying tithes, it proves neither the pastor-preneurs nor the believers truly believe what they preach. If heaven is the fabulous place where ALL the believer’s aspirations come to fruition then why are believers so scared of death to the point it can be used to manipulate them? This is like someone who fantasizes about emigrating to America but when they are informed they require a travel visa they say, “I reject the visa in Jesus’ name.” 

You cannot go to your beloved heaven if you do not die. To conclude, Pentecostalism is a doctrine of greed and selfishness. It thrives on fear. It exploits the weak. It destroys critical thinking. Our salvation is in insisting on a rational society. Enough of these superstitions and greed.

PPRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP NATIONAL SECURITY SPEECH

OMAROSA: YOU'RE FIRED!

ICHEOKU says for the second time and by the same personality, the lady who many Americans have come to regard as an enfant terrible nut job, Omarosa Manigault, has been fired from her White House job as director of communication for the Office of Public Liaison, whatever that means. The first time was during her reality television show debut in The Apprentice.  Both times, by the same man who midwifed The Apprentice and is now the president of the United States of America, President Donald John Trump. 

ICHEOKU says provided the divorce is amicable and that Omarosa went out somewhat satisfied and not feeling so humiliated, such that she will seek a revenge, the White House would have certainly and successfully dodged the bullet. Otherwise the White House would have been minded to go watch the "Diary of a mad black woman" and see the freight train headed their way, a public relations disaster. Omarosa has such a strong personality that scares any man shitless and a mad Omarosa is capable of shaking the White House down to its foundations with sleazy and salacious account of her experience therein. A woman scorned is the worst thing anyone could wish on their worst enemy,  a Lucifer turned loose from the pits of hell, a matter made worse if the woman is a black woman and one as feisty as Omarosa Manigault. 

Omarosa Manigault now joins a retinue of been there in the White House and now no more there former staffers of President Donald John Trump's White House. An ever growing list of previously hired and fired, gone from the White House former staffers which is now elongated with Omarosa's addition. ICHEOKU says may be it is about time the former staffers form an association of former PDJT staffers, who have now been shoved aside and put out of the limelight of the White House. A reality show can also spine off from their collective experiences, which could be turned into a nation-wide event and sure, people will tune in to watch and hopefully learn the utmost secret workings of the White House. But no one exactly knows what it is that happened at the White House that led to her being let go. ICHEOKU hopes that like Las Vegas and her predecessors in being fired, that Omarosa would let what happened in the White House to stay in White House. So long Oma.

ALABAMA LOST ELECTION: PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP TWEETS

"Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!" - President DonaldJohn Trump.

ICHEOKU says definitely a new way in American politics, teaching the old politicians how to play modern politics without bitterness. The peoples president is leading the way and American deplorables are in tow. Way to go.

ROY MOORE LOSES ALABAMA SENATE SEAT

ICHEOKU says all the effort were not enough to see himthrough the finish line. The armada of forces amassed against him was almost humanly insurmountable. Election is one crazy thing and the lynch mob successfully took down a good man who would have been great for Alabamans. 

The take Roy Moore out conspiracy played their last joker by fielding in a Write In ex-marine ultra conservative candidate and he snatched over 20,000 votes conservative votes which would have been more than enough to win the election. But hey, the sun will still come up tomorrow morning, regardless. 

ICHEOKU says congratulations to Doug Jones onhis election victory, as Alabama now switches from red Republican to blue Democrat Senate seat. Salute

ALABAMANS SHOW ROY MOORE SOME LOVE: VOTE ROY MOORE

ICHEOKU says the long awaited Tuesday December 12th 2017 is finally here for the people of the Great State of Alabama to tell Washington DC to mind their gaddam business and stay the heck out of Alabama's internal affairs matter. VOTE ROY MOORE.

ROY MOORE IS THE ONE: VOTE ROY MOORE

ALABAMA VOTES ROY MOORE. ON TUESDAY DECEMBER 12TH, 2017 ALABAMANS WILL VOTE TO SEND A MAN WHO FEARS GOD TO Washington DC TO HELP PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP CONTINUE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. VOTE ROY MOORE FOR SENATE !

PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP SPEAKS IN PENSACOLA FLORIDA.

ICHEOKU says President Donald John Trump is coasting to an easy second term victory come 2020. Simply put, there is no visible nor invisible competitor out there, not in the Democratic Party and neither inside the Republican Party to take him on. A matter made worse because he has single handily demolished every potential prospective presidential wanna be in the Republican Party. Boy, is the president good. Yes indeed the boy is good and he did not win the presidency for no reason. He is damn good and he gives one heck of good speeches and he backs them up too. Simply unopposed for second term. 

ROY MOORE: VOTE THE PEOPLES CHOICE FOR ALABAMA SENATE SEAT

ICHEOKU says it does not matter what the Washington Swamp establishment says or wants; the fact of the matter is that they should butt out from a purely internal affairs matter of the people of the great State of Alabama. Alabamans have the final say on who represents them in the United States' Senate and peradventure in the matter of Roy Moore. They are constitutionally so entitled and they will freely exercise that their right to send their preferred candidate to Washington DC as their elected Senator. 

ICHEOKU says allegations of what supposedly happened four decades ago should not be such a shaming circumstance to warrant his rejection by the people. He is a victim of the Lynch mob Washington Swamp dwellers who are afraid and scared stiff of the erudite judge and a morally upright man coming to keep an eye on them. This is the only gas in they tank which is fueling their maniacal madness to stop and prevent by all and every means necessarily his practically assured election. Whatever it was that he allegedly did, most likely flirting with younger women; but it was not rape neither was it molestation. If, could have risen to such a character damaging and impugning conduct as to be egregious enough to warrant and justify his rejection, but it did not. 

For over forty years since, Roy Moore has remained on the narrow straight path and a real Christina warrior of God and his time has now come to go to the United States if America Senate to continue his defense of what is right and American; and not worry about what a few detractors has to say, provided it satisfies God. ICHEOKU heretofore, affirms the earlier endorsement of few months ago and urge Alabamans to troop out en-masse and use their vote to tell Washington DC to stay the hell out of their business; and that they are old enough to know one of their own sons better than the Swamp megaphone tabloid Washington Post. VOTE TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE SWAMP; VOTE TO ELECT ROY MOORE. I am ICHEOKU and I approve this message.

ROY MOORE: THE PEOPLES CHOICE

ICHEOKU says VOTE ROY MOORE. VOTE ROY MOORE. VOTE ROY MOORE. VOTE ROY MOORE. VOTE ROY MOORE. VOTE ROY MOORE. VOTE ROY MOORE

QUEEN GRANDMA FINALLY RELENTS: PRINCE HARRY TO MARRY MEGHAN.

ICHEOKU says and they are engaged with the nuptials scheduled for Spring 2018. Congratulations to Prince Harry and soon to be bride Meghan Markle on winning the heart of Queen Grandmother Elizabeth II; whose approval and nod has to be first sought and obtained before the duo could proceed with making their relationship formal through an engagement. It must have felt like pulling a tooth and a wait in eternity, waiting for the royal seal of approval; and happy are the duo who finally made the Queen see reason that things are no longer as they used to be and that matters of love is blind to colors. 

The pair is a product of a world that has since moved on and which will, before too long, eventually, totally dispense with the royalty itself. It is a world which has now witnessed what would have otherwise been an impossibility; an unthinkable and unacceptable taboo some years ago, that a Prince of Wales who is in line for the Kingship of England is cavorting with or rather courting a commoner who is also happens to be black for that matter. ICHEOKU says anyone who says it was easy for those two love birds to get through the hurdle of the royal "mismatch" must be out of his or her mind, not to know or rather oblivious of what the British royalty or any other royalty anywhere is all about. It is about preservation and maintenance of certain purebred bloodlines, period. Such expectation of them or rather their ordered lifestyle, accommodates of no love or what the heir wants or wishes. He is bound by what his aristocracy determines is best suited for him by reason birth and age long traditions that come with the territory. His future role of propagating the throne of England is the key and nothing more; hence everything is funneled to making him a real royalty fit for King. 

They seldom have any choice in their personal lives matters. Everything about and concerns them is treated as duty called and they are required to stoically, with stiff upper lip, soldier on in defense of what holds meaning to their life of pure luxury and great expectation; and they have no choice but to live the part. In some countries, some heirs or heir-apparents are known to have foresworn their royalty just to free themselves of the hamstrings of their birth. A choice which they did not make nor were consulted before it was determined; neither was their opinion ever sort about how to rejig things to make them more suitable to them or comfortable to their situational needs. In Thailand for example, the present King and former heir apparent severally denounced the throne before the imperial custodians persuaded him to see reason and agree to lead the people as their King. So uneasy lies the head that wears the crown and many  have some understanding about what is making Prince Harry, the rebellious Prince of Wales, that he is. 

Prince Harry does not want to be shackled down by centuries old institutions and traditions which literary owns his life as a Prince of Wales. So he uses every opportunity and available moment to telegraph to the palace that he is a different type of royalty, one who will not be bogged down by the dictates of royalty. That he is a Prince who runs away to Las Vegas to party hard, naked with chics and being caught on tape. That he is the type of royalty who drinks, drives fast cars, flies airplanes and helicopters as well as lead a company into battle grounds. Yes, he did not want to be a clone of his elder brother William, the dutiful prince and future King of England, who is so steeped in traditions and the carrying out of the duties of the office that so many admirers are getting impatient to see him coronated formally as the King of England; admitted they will have to wait a little longer and long enough for the Queen grandmother to pass on or abdicate her office, then his father Prince Charles to have a go at it or wave it on to his son Prince William before it becomes his turn. 

Anyway, be that as it may, ICHEOKU says the riveting thing about what happened in England with this engagement is to say the least, revolutionary. Prince Harry has now incontrovertibly established himself as the villain Prince, the black sheep of the royal family, who pulled off the big hit and secured a near impossible royal approval from his grandmother the Queen to do an extraordinary thing - be engaged to a commoner who is also black. ICHEOKU says Her Majesty's love for her grandson Prince Harry did it, it conquered it all; as she said whatever will make my wild-buck prince grandson happy and help him settle down into a life of near routine. It is a new day people and like Romeo and Juliet, this mixed blessings has now further cemented the bond of friendship existing between America and Great Britain. The two countries are now, in addition to all the other things that hold them together, inlaws or soon to be in-laws. What will love not make possible. The power of love is stronger than steel and near infinite. It has made nations go to war and has caused the deaths of so many; but with Prince Harry and soon to be Duchess Meghan Markle, it has now cemented further the bond of two nations. 

Queen Grandmother said yes my grandson Prince Harry, you can bring a commoner who is also black into our royal household as a bona fide member of the family. This is the gist of what went down. The Queen's assent is the 54 million dollar story here and ICHEOKU is salivating over it. The Queen against all odds, signed off on the relationship simply because of her love for her grandson who she wants to see him happy and fulfilled. ICHEOKU is emphatic that Meghan Merkel was definitely not and would not have been the Queen's first choice or preferred wife for his grandson Prince Harry, whom she had expected to follow in the footsteps of his brother Prince William and towed the path. But hey, the deal is done; both lovebirds are engaged to be married next Spring 2018 and what love has put together,  nothing will or should put asunder. Not even the fact that Meghan is older than Prince Harry by about 4 years made the consideration list. Also, that Meghan is not a virgin and was previously married and a divorcee too, was not a downer either. 

This is exactly what true love is all about really. A prince found love in the house of a commoner and sealed it with a diamond engagement ring. When the wedding bells ring in the Spring of 2018, Meghan Markle will be made to shed her commoner's garb and be transformed into a royalty, as she takes the title Duchess of Sussex. But her status will be automatically elevated beyond her imagination and hers is a story of how an American black lady captured the heart of a British true born Prince and denied every British lady of a chance at royalty, marrying their Prince Harry and into the royal family. There is definitely mourning in the house of so many British girls  over this development; but provided the catfights are confined inside their respective homes, it shall be ok. William Shakespeare again was proved right that some people were born great and some people have greatness trusted to them and Meghan Markle has now become a beneficiary of the later, supremely privileged. ICHEOKU says congratulations to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle; as well as Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for giving them the nod to hitch it. May you guys have a wonderful life and your marriage be blessed abundantly with your hearts desires. This is good.

VOTE FOR ROY MOORE

ALABAMANS: DONT LET WASHINGTON DICTATE TO YOU, VOTE ROY MOORE FOR SENATE.

PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE ARE ENGAGED: HURRAY!

ICHEOKU says they look nice together and hopefully the crazy media and their paparazzi hordes will let them be and not force them into a life of misery or accidentally run them off the cliff. Lady Di's tragic experience is still painfully fresh till this day and no one, not ICHEOKU, wants to relive or experience such awfulness again, NEVER again. May God protect and bless the duo as they take their baby steps into the journey of of so many unknown absurdities called marriage. All the best Harry and Meghan.

A DO NOTHING CONGRESS: ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING MOLESTING WOMEN?

ICHEOKU says the need to unmask the bad apples among the United States of American Congress as well as the Senate has now arisen. This is in order to separate the bad eggs from those decent men and women who went to Washington DC to actually go do the peoples business. But the sexual harassment cloud cover hovering over the nations seat of legislative power, the Capitol, cannot be allowed to completely cover every one of them including those innocent ones. 

To do this will be to also tarnish the image and reputation of those respectable members amongst them, who are not part of this orgy but happened to share the same supposedly hallowed chambers. In the eyes of the American people, all of them are incohoot in it and are deemed culpable and the suspicion will remain until those guilty parties are separated from the innocent through naming and shaming them. 

It should not be a case of one oily finger spreading its liquid on the rest of the four fingers, that they all eventually become soiled and stained for no fault of their own. Therefore those innocent members of the legislative body must as a matter of great concern, force the issue and have those wolves amongst them be unmasked, identified and shamed into not doing or continuing with their illicit activities again. Failure to do so is not an option, because they will all remain suspects of this perversion before the American people, who sent them to Washington DC, believing that they went there to do the peoples business, but are now finding out that they are doing the monkey business, horsing around and paying to cover it up. 

Little wonder nothing gets done in Washington as these people spend useful time they would have deployed in doing the peoples business, messing around with interns and staffers as well female lobbyist who trade sexual favors for legislative concerns of their clients. A matter made worse because these Congress men and women as well as Senators earmarked part of the America taxpayers money, which maintains their lifestyle, on also paying hush money to their victims and in order to purchase their eternal silence. ICHEOKU says this is unAmerican as the emasculation of freedom of speech right of these victims is unacceptable excessive restrain of an abused woman. How dare these supposed law makers break the law which they made by beating up these women and also forbidding them not to cry. it is not fair, it is unjust and it is repugnant to everything America stands for and it must not be allowed to stand. 

These women were abused and their abusers are still occupying their legislative seats. So query if they are not unmasked, how will their future would be victims know to stay away from them and remain vigilant against all the Senator Al Frankens and Congressman John Conyers of Washington DC legislative Capitol building. Not naming these perverts is indeed the real "Russian Collusion" and it amounts to condonation and enabling of a bad behavior. If the reason for not naming them is to protect their respectability and integrity of the Congress, how about the reason to name them in order to protect those innocent members among them who are not similarly situated and mired in the scandal; and who are now cast under the same pall of suspicion as sexual molesters when they are not. Is it not a preferred option to isolate, name and shame the few bad eggs who are involved in this disrespectful behavior than for their sinful acts to taint the entire Congress and Senate, with everyone of them now being under suspicion as a possible pervert. 

With over 265 cases of sexual molestations and over $17 million already paid out in hush money settlements to the victims, one would think that there is a need for the lawmakers to speedily do something to abate the ongoing sexual epidemic in Washington DC amongst them. This include naming and shaming those implicated and possibly forcing them out of the hallowed chambers and enacting laws that makes it a prohibited crime to harass and sexually molest interns and staffers alike, with punishment including expulsion and waiving of their immunity from prosecution.

These are the same people, the sanctimonious holier than thou Pharisees, who are hounding Alabama Senatorial candidate Roy Moore, who is merely being accused of a four decades old sexual indiscretion, and calling on him to step aside. Further, threatening that they will be forced not to sit him should he win or expel him subsequent his being sworn in. Meanwhile, they are the ones who are throwing stones at the glass house from within the inside, perpetrating all manners of sexual deviancy and paying to cover it up. Our Lord Jesus Christ was indeed right that he who is without sin should throw the first stone; except that such admonition rings hollow for the American Congress as well as the Senate, who preach one thing while doing another thing entirely in contradiction. How could these people with such resume ever sit in judgment over Roy Moore and you wonder why the staccato of noise has reached such decibel with their demand that Roy Moore step aside. Could it be that they do not want to increase their hush money budget, thinking that Roy Moore will add to the tab? 

These are the nations chief lawmakers and are now proven law breakers in chief and you wonder what they expect those Jack and Jill of us ordinary Americans on the streets to do. Chandra Levy lost her life in Washington DC because of her involvement in the same sexual tryst and the then Congressman Gary Conduit was forced to resign his office following her murder. ICHEOKU says why not just name these current perpetrators and shame them out of their nefarious activities or is the Congress by necessary implication approving of their acts and saying it is okay for them to carry on and also share the same legislative chambers with such decrepitude members. Until these perpetrators are publicly named and shamed, the scandal will remain on each member of Congress and Senator's head like a halo of shame. They are all guilty by association and only the isolation of the culprits will absolve the innocent among them.

Paraphrasing then President Ronald Reagan to Russian Gorbachev tear down this wall moment, ICHEOKU says name those members of the legislature who are molesting women and paying them hush money to keep them quiet and remain unknown. That's the only way their nefarious activities will stop and come to an end; otherwise they will continue to do what they do best, instead of making laws to fix what is broken of the American society. Now you know why nothing ever gets done in Washington DC, as those elected and sent there to do the peoples business has since found other more passionate and much more pleasurable businesses more attractive and rewarding than the business of the people; and they do it on the peoples time and dime. Shameful and pitiful.
