ICHEOKU says decisions made out of desperation is often fatal, because Satan is an opportunist who lays in wait and lurks for your hour of greatest need to strike. It waits for your greatest vulnerability, during which time ANYTHING will suffice. If you are thirsty, it waits until you are completely parched and nearly losing consciousness before he offers you vinegar. If you are hungry, it will first turn you into a Somalian refugee with birds of prey tagging along every foot you put forward, waiting for your carcass to finally give up the ghost and drop, before it offers you a morsel. And remember at such a near death out of body experience junction, it will be strictly on its own terms; just like the Chinese are doing in Africa with their Greek Gift "INVESTMENTS".
Abubakar Atiku has the mastery of the serpent and made his current gamble based on his calculation that Nigerians are desperately seeking an out from the bonehead in Aso Rock. As a result he made Obasanjo an offer which Obasanjo could not refuse to purchase Obasanjo's severally, previously denied forgiveness. Then he decamped to the PDP and pulled every last stop to purchase their presidential ticket, despite not being so entitled as a returnee grasshopper politician. Now, every one of his investment is paying off as Nigerians have been stupefied by the noise into seemingly forgetting who they are dealing with; but they will be sorry if he successfully hoodwinks them into letting him into Aso Rock.
Atiku is a calculating, cold bloodied villain, who is cashing in on Nigerians desperation for a change to secure a position which he was severally denied; including in 2007 when Obasanjo bypassed him for Umaru Yar'Adua and again in 2011 when Obasanjo stood on his way in order for Jonathan to win. Like snakes which usually strike in darkness, when the victim is helplessly shortsighted, Abubakar Atiku is about springing on Nigerians, cashing in on their anguish against the other guy in Aso Rock. Atiku is fully aware that but for the despondency of the now, that he does not stand a chance in hell with Nigerian electorates, hence he must strike when Nigerians are forlornly without much option. Atiku is a predatory animal, ready to pounce due to the vulnerability of the prey, Nigerians who are desperately seeking an out from Buhari.
ICHEOKU says just ask a guy who was forced to marry a girl because he knocked her up; or a woman who had to marry out of desperation of running out her biological clock. A two complete no, no; as marrying out of sympathy or desperation is the surest way to audition for life in real hell or as Andy would put it, "Living in Bondage." But should Nigerians fall prey to Atiku, the cobra? ICHEOKU says does not think so, as the closest hour to dawn is usually the darkest; and the last miles of a marathon are always the hardest to run. Perseverance is the key, admitted Buhari has not been the president any thinking society would have otherwise imposed on themselves; but the Atiku poisonous apple is not an option, because no data or indices support that it will amount to anything of value to Nigerians.
Other than America, the world economy is bleak and dithering and Nigeria is not an exception and will not be magically transformed, the vacuous promises of "Get Nigeria working again" notwithstanding. Even if Atiku intends to build 1000 refineries, at least it takes a few years to complete them. Even if he wants to build 1000 car manufacturing plants, it will also take a few years to complete them. So, let nobody be deceived that Atiku will overnight pull a magic wand and abracadabra Nigerians problems away. It will not happen and there is no need raising anyone's expectations to a point of suffering rude shock. The unfolding situation calls for curbing one's enthusiasm and taking things in perspective. Like a chic you want to lay, you brainwash her until she spreads; and that is exactly what Atiku is doing to gullible Nigerians, who now think with their stomach and hearts, instead of engaging their cerebral cortex.
Nothing good or better will ever come out of the Atikumania or Atikulooted whirlwind, because whenever it sounds too good to be true, run to the hills. Atiku is a deceiver and Adam has not recovered from his chic's flirting with the original deceiver in chief, the serpent. Please do not be burnt by Atiku because Atiku will burn you.
ICHEOKU is just a messenger with a sixth sense and the foreboding is inspired by experience, guided by informed calculus. ICHEOKU prays that Nigerians can persevere for the next four years and punt into something entirely new, different, promising and in short exhilarating. But this Atiku thing is neither the way forward nor the answer to the Nigeria question. If the bait is bitten, it will hurt so badly that Nigerians would wish that three Buharis had remained in office instead. 1 Kings 12:11 is very instructive. May God help us all reason the situation better and remember, NO PAIN, NO GAIN. Salute.

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
