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.

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.

RUSSIAN JOURNALIST FAKED MURDER: SIMPLY PATHETIC.

ICHEOKU says not even the fake news CNN would have pulled off this farcical nonsense, albeit so convincingly that thousands, if not millions, of world media, including ICHEOKU wrote about the story. To so deceive the world with such a heinous and macabre staged incident, especially one implicating a sovereign neighboring nation Russia and their president Vladimir Putin, Ukraine overreached itself. This is the height of recklessness and a needless propaganda attack, capable of generating an international incident. 

ICHEOKU says what Ukrainian authorities did is condemnable and should be condemned by everyone, especially those concerned with objectivity and fairness and the need to always speak truthfully, especially in this days of so much fake news that it is hard to distinguish which news is real and which one is fake. ICHEOKU hereby condemn Ukrainian authority and Arkady Babchenko for perpetrating and partaking in this extremely provocative evil plot.

By lying to the world about a murder which never took place and the alleged victim being still alive, this fake news now makes Ukraine an official State sponsor of fake news. They owe the world, especially Russians and their President Vladimir Putin, an unreserved apology for maligning him and making him look bad before the civilized world. ICHEOKU had earlier written to condemn Vladimir Putin for this barbaric act and hereby apologizes for same, as the information available then which elicited the position taken then has now been proven to be false. 

Whatever is going on and whoever is trying to goad Russia into war should thread carefully because sometimes, what someone wishes for, often does not turn out to be exactly what was primarily desired. First was the Syrian gas attack in Douma; then the Skripals nerve agent attack in Salisbury England and now this Ukrainian nonsense in Kiev. Enough of all these hair-raising needless and avoidable provocations. Ukraine should be made to offer a public apology and possibly sanctioned for creating such a needless tension in a world which is already bursting at the seams, nearing a boiling over and which can use some real peace presently. 

What Ukraine achieved by the fake murder is beyond ICHEOKU's comprehension, because with the revelation that the Arkady Babchenko is still alive, his would be assassins will still try to track him down and eventually whack him. So what use was this hoax afterall. There is a reason people do not shout lion, lion, all the time because eventually when the real lion appears and is devouring the livestock, would be helpers would just dismiss the shout as the usual false alarm. So what if he is finally killed as is most likely to be the case now, at least to avenge the maligning, how would Ukraine explain it and expect the world to believe it and extend sympathy.

Simply put, it is just an inexplicable and inexcusable stunt, so shockingly convulsing that the whole incident is just nuts, stupidity to the highest order. And for the journalist, Arkady Babchenko, he is a pitiful denigrate to have signed up on the plot; especially without even disclosing it to his wife. What if she has had a heart attack watching her husband in his own blood on the floor in their home? The incident  is, as Susan Henchard,  wife of Michael Henchard in Mayor of Casterbridge would say, a joke is a joke but once  too often. It is as nauseating as it is tasteless; and it rather, further complicated an already worsening situational relationship between President Vladimir Putin's Russia and Ukraine. It is definitely in bad taste, no excuses or justification whatsoever.
