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

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.

SHOOT AT SIGHT OF ELECTION RIGGERS ORDER: ICHEOKU APPROVES.

ICHEOKU says corruption is the only reason "do or die" politics thrives in Nigeria. People run for offices, kill and maim innocent Nigerians in the process, in order to get elected just because of what they can steal from Nigerians, using the instrumentality of their "elected"  offices.  As a result, criminals and bandits, as well other heartless people who have no business being in governance, who have no compunction whatsoever, dominate the Nigerian political scene. Some of them cannot even read or write, talkless of having the capacity to follow legislative process of law making; and if they are governors, are just interested in revenue allocation and pocketing same, alongside bribes, which sometimes ends up in their dashiki dress pockets. 

These munchkins have no scruples about fermenting trouble and visiting bodily harm and injury on anyone who dares stand in their way or challenges them for the office. By so doing, they scare away from politics, decent civilized men and women, who actually know what needs to be done to right the path of Nigeria and make it competitive amongst comity of nations. This fraudsters, thugs, thieves, bandits and prostitutes' domination of the political terrain is the reason Nigeria is stunted and stagnated, because a Steve Wonder cannot effectively fly an airplane; and Nigerians are bleeding as a result 

Therefore, it goes without saying that any effort to drain the Nigerian swamp of these swampy nincompoops, who would have all been behind bars were Nigeria a civilized functional society, is a step in the right direction. The fact of even trying to stop their brigandage, by stopping their thugs and urchins from snatching ballot boxes during elections, should be commended, applauded and supported by all men and women of good faith, who has no bad intentions for motherland. It is to this effect therefore, that ICHEOKU supports the order by President Muhammadu Buhari, to treat anyone seen or caught tampering with the will of the Nigerian people, by rigging the forthcoming election, as a criminal and summarily dealt with. 

These bastards and their sponsors are messing with our general well-being by tampering with our collective decisions. They are depriving Nigerian citizens their legitimate choices, as made with their votes; which unfortunately, previously, usually did not count due to the nefarious activities of supplanting real votes with manufactured votes by these bottom dwellers. Enough is enough and if summarily wasting these deviants' lives is what it will take to restore sanity to the political process in Nigeria, so be it. Voting is a civic duty, so if you don't want to be shot, cast your vote and return to your house or your legitimate business and let the electoral officers do their job, under the close watch of accredited party's precinct workers and poll watchers. Anyone seen loitering around any polling Station should be affixed with bad intention and either shot or arrested for prosecution, period.

Ever seen anyone volunteering to help a truck pusher push his load up the hill? If not, why then do these bandits always pretend that they are trying to help Nigerians solve their problems by seeking their votes and will go all out to secure victory at all cost, including killing and maiming opponents, fellow citizens, as well as rigging elections and you call this just to have an opportunity to "help" Nigerians? ICHEOKU says the only reason they do what they brazenly do, is to amass stupendous wealth and steal themselves dumb from the public treasury, period. 

This proclivity to turn a simple electioneering process into a real war has succeeded in keeping honest and decent people out of politics and it is about time it stopped. Just take a look at the National Assembly, the Senate, governorship houses, as well as all tiers of political offices in Nigeria, and you will count several of the occupants who were once 419 kingpins, kidnappers, armed bandits, fraudsters and people of very questionable characters. A situation which succeeded in turning the political class in Nigeria into a gathering of vultures who are feasting on the carcass of Nigeria. Olusegun Obasanjo once called them out on their questionable characters, as well. 

They all went into offices through political thuggery and banditry, with some of them engaging in ritualistic human sacrifices, just to get into their power holding positions. This is the reason they do not feel obligated to the citizens, hence they do not care about doing things for the people in order to earn a reelection nod from the people. So if President Muhammadu Buhari sincerely means his order to the army and the police, and fairly exercises it throughout the country, without selectively targeting it at some opponents, then it is a welcome relief and let the tree fall where it may. Let the right people be elected by the people and that way, the people can hold them accountable if they fail to perform. 

ICHEOKU says it is about time decent people entered politics in Nigeria and put an end to all these useless and ruthless blood suckers, many of who has blood of Nigerians on their hands, just because they want power. A people who could care less about how many people they trampled upon, killed and sacrificed just to grab power are a people who shouldn't be anywhere near power. Their unconscionable activities of rigging elections have robbed Nigerians, their legitimate votes; and deprived them the free exercise of their enshrined right to freely choose who shall be their leaders. By skewing the electioneering process, they successfully hijacked our collective destiny; and by putting decrepitudes who were not elected by the people in power, they kidnapped our common will. 

ICHEOKU says desperate times calls for desperate measures, so whatever it takes to achieve this objective of sanitizing the political process in Nigeria is a fair game, as extirpating this menace of election rigging is a thing whose time has since come. Therefore President Muhammadu Buhari should be commended for checkmating this idiotic nuisance or at least for trying, so that elections in Nigeria will no  longer be a competition amongst only those who can terrorize the citizens the most. Politics should not be left for only those who can pay more to motor park touts and street urchins and feed them with drugs and alcohol, as well as supply them with weapons with which to ferment trouble and cause mayhem in the land. Why must electioneering campaign in Nigeria be a bloody battle fought with real weapons, with real resulting casualties; instead of the battle of ideas which politics is and ought to be. 

But be that as it may, ICHEOKU is emphatic that the PDP missed a glorious opportunity to excel when they accepted the cancellation of last Saturday's election; as nothing is assured going forward. The APC controlled Aso Rock has tested their waters and sized them up and have reached their conclusions. So let no body fret around or needlessly hyperventilate, when the APC goes all out to achieve a predetermined outcome next Saturday, and the heavens will not fall. It is politics and polls do often get it wrong, otherwise Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton will be in the White House today. And yes, tens of thousands may have showed up in some campaign rallies, but over 70 million prospective voters were registered by INEC and these people are yet to vote. 

Therefore, the votes on Saturday could, against all odds and permutations, somehow tarry differently and in favor of a dry bone which magically rose again. It is the magic of voters turnout and which party was able to motivate their base the more. Recall what the Lord said in Ezekiel 37:5 that dry bones shall rise again; so surprises wear different shades and forms; and might stun Nigerians on Saturday. Power is powerful; and a lot of bad things as well as good things can be done with power, the reason so many have died fighting to secure and acquire it. But hey, let us prayerfully hope that the election will hold as rescheduled on Saturday February 23rd, 2019 and that votes will actually count. May the better strategist win.
