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

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.

RACISM AND RAPE HAUNT OFFICIALS: AS THE DRAMA IN VIRGINIA UNFOLDS.

ICHEOKU says never in the history of any State in America has the stakes been so compounded and convoluted as is presently in the Commonwealth of Virginia, where the three highest ranking officials of State are embroiled in various scandals, ranging from racism to rape. First it was the governor of the State Ralph Northam who was caught in a medical Year Book wearing a black face alongside another friend of his who was garbed in a KKK white hood. 

Calls for him to resign triggered a revelation of a sexual molestation scandal involving the Lieutenant Governor, Justin Fairfax, who would have ordinarily succeeded him, thus making him ineligible to serve as governor as well. As if that was not enough headache already for the Commonwealth of Virginia, the third highest ranking State official, the Attorney General, who would have stepped in as governor were both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to resign, is himself involved in a black face scandal as well. Then the fourth State official, the Speaker of House of Assembly, also was involved in another black face scandal as editor of a magazine that published various pictures of white people wearing black faces. 

ICHEOKU says only in Virginia, the capital of KKK and the State which first introduced slavery in America and even went to war leading the confederacy in order to maintain and keep slavery going. The ground zero of the "good ole boy" entitlement culture of white superiority, where the Charlottesville melee took place and where it is still so cool to be white because of its immeasurable pecks, so it is little surprise that that many racist people exist in Virginia.  Now, their inner lining has been exposed for the whole world to see how deeply entrenched racism goes in Virginia and by extension the entire United States of America. But the governor, a man who called for the legalization of infanticide, must be a very mean fellow and must have done so many bad things, that painting his face black would be among the least of horrible things which he probably did. 

However, with the sexual molestation and rape accusation leveled against the Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, a definitely more heinous crime than being a racist, it would seem that the racist governor is going no where, at least not any time soon; since he now appears to be a saint compared to his deputy who sexually molested and raped women. The fact that he is black and in Virginia make his matter more troubling, as he will never get a break until he resigns his office. He will not survive such a career killing allegation, particularly in this era of Me-Too Movement, where incensed feminists are gun-ho mad and seeking revenge from men, who they see as predators and who has had their way with them for far too long. They have smelled blood in the water and will go for the kill of; their pound of flesh they must take, which makes Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax a toast. He will not survive the scandal and will eventually heed the call to resign his office and if he doesn't go voluntarily, he will be forced out, either through indictment or impeachment. 

Sexual molestations of any kind, including rape, is a complete no, no; and has become    such a lightening rod in America that it nearly torpedoed the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, even though the allegations against him were all trumped up, made to just prevent his ascension to the Supreme Court. If feminists were that mad that they manufactured false witnesses, imagine what they could do in the case of Justin Fairfax; except that he is a Democrat and black, and appears to belong to the genre that must be handled softly and gently; otherwise where is CNN and MSNBC going wall to wall with the coverage of the scandal and calling for his head on a platter. Where are Democratic Party leaders jostling for camera space to chime in their condemnation and demand that he resigns, with some even calling for his arrest and trial? Where are Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamara Harris, Dianne Feinstein and other Democratic leaders swooning over each other to make their voice heard in condemnation. But no, it is only when it is a Republican or there is a vacant seat to be filled in the Supreme Court that their holier than thou pretentiousness rent the airwaves. 

Anyway, regardless of how the Commonwealth of Virgin drama concludes, one thing is certain and that is, that what happened in Virginia, unlike Vegas, will not stay in Virginia as the whole world has been invited into their dark historical past of racism which is still continuing till this day. Whether the governor eventually resigns or the Lieutenant Governor is impeached or the Attorney General steps down or the Speaker relinquishes his Speaker-ship, it is a high noon drama playing out in Virginia and it is indeed very tragic. ICHEOKU hereby calls for all the four State officials to simultaneously resign and their offices, let others take; except if it is a case of Sodom and Gomorrah where Lot could not find any honest person in order for God to spare the city. What a pity.
