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.

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.

BOLA TINUBU: WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA.

ICHEOKU says like the other abhorable, despicable and detestable fella before him, Obafemi Awolowo, the new effant terrible of Yoruba land, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, will never be president of Nigeria, as is presently constituted. It will not happen and it will never happen; not in 2023 and not any time thereafter, as long as Nigeria remains as it is, one united Nigeria. This absolutism is not amenable to the case of "never say never", because it will not happen. As long as Nigeria still remains one country, with all other components parts of it still in it, Bola Tinubu will never become president of the country, all his clandestine stealthy maneuvers notwithstanding. 

Bola Tinubu has damaged his reputation so much that he will end up only as a Yoruba regional lord of manor, whose area of influence never crossed the River Niger, either going North or to the East. He is over ambitious and he is ready to do whatever it takes to find himself on that seat, admitted it is an (un)accomplishable tall order. This unsettling trait of his was discovered so early in the game, that he is no longer an acceptable, detribalized Yoruba man in whom Nigerians can trust with their presidency. So, it will be  extremely difficult, if not impossible, to allow such a scheming personality to get into a national office, in a multi plural society like Nigeria, such as the presidency of a united one Nigeria. 

It does not matter his current schemes, ploys, deceitfulness or otherwise tactical deployments to outmaneuver other competitors, but he will be checkmated when the time eventually comes for Nigerians to choose their president post Buhari's presidency. Such will be the unison of the opposition marshaled against him that he will be shocked beyond his imagination and right to his bone marrow. ICHEOKU is emphatic that Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu has successfully burnt all his bridges, especially across the Niger to the East, that repairing them will be utterly impossible. He has also wronged and alienated nearly everybody in the South by his maniacal scheming to secure a vantage position, that all those people will come to haunt him at his hour of greatest need of their support. Calling Olusegun Obasanjo an expired milk will not help at all either. 

The Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi Muhammadu III does not like Tinubu and has severally written many oped against him. Bukola Saraki will also move the earth to stop Tinubu, all the undercutting of Saraki by Tinubu taken into consideration. The midget Kaduna State Governor El Rufai have no love lost with Tinubu either. Overall, Bola TInubu is seen and perceived by the core North as another over ambitious Obafemi Awolowo who must not be allowed near the seat of power; and like they once told MKO Abiola that the presidency is not for sale, so shall the ears of TInubu tingle with that pronouncement when the hour comes for them to tell him how truly they feel about him and that he repulses them beyond words could convey. 

Like Awolowo before him, Tinubu has earned a pariah status in the Southeast Igbo land; and Ndigbo hardly forgets nor forgives anybody who messes up with them and will readily remind Bola Tinubu of his intransigence when the time comes. Tinubu has literary insulted every Yoruba top heavy, including the Ota Deity, who he recently referred to as an expired milk. Then add the fact that he gave Nigerians President Muhammadu Buhari and any recovering Nigerian, who was Buhari fatigued, will think twice before rewarding Bola TInubu with the presidency. Further, the North does not trust the Yoruba man to be fair and would rather an Igbo man succeeds Buhari than to allow Tinubu anywhere near the presidential seat at Aso Rock. 

Further, Bola Tinubu's conviction for drug dealing in the United States of America, which established a permanent criminal record for him, will square up with him at the gate of his presidential ambition, as Nigerians, although skewed in some things, will definitely not accept a convicted criminal as their president. In other words, Nigeria still has some few descent and honest men and women, and they will not idly stand by, hands akimbo and watch a convicted felon, Bola TInubu, move into Aso Rock as their president. It will not happen in this life and neither in the life hereafter. So, Bola TInubu can do whatever he wants with Lagos State and if he likes too, let him confiscate every property belonging to the so called "foreigners" from other parts of Nigeria. But at the end, grief will be his portion and his lamentations will make the lamentations of Gomorrah look like a child's play. 

Nobody takes on the Igbo Nation and goes Scott free. Gowon tried it and till today has not recovered from the karma which hunts him since then and continuing till today, the reason, no sire of his is relevant in Nigeria after more than 50 years of his rule as Nigeria's Head of State. Awolowo tried it and today, he is hardly remembered through his sires, none of which is politically or otherwise relevant in Nigeria. Who could it be told that a whole Obafemi Awolowo, has no offspring wielding political power anywhere in Yoruba land, despite what he sacrificed for his Yoruba Nation and at the expense of other Nations that make up Nigeria. Muritala Mohammed tried it and met a cruel fate and none of his children is anywhere today following up their father's name recognition to get somewhere in Nigeria. Such a post live sad story of irrelevance awaits President Muhammadu Buhari, if he doesn't mends his way and reconcile with the Igbo Nation. So, Bola Tinubu is a none starter with his anti Igbo posturing, because he is too small a fry, compared to other heavy weights who have ventured in the past but met odious generational ending. 

It is therefore with full authority and confidence of an articulator that ICHEOKU says that Asiwaju Ahmed Bola TInubu, the Jagaban of Borku Land, will NEVER be elected president of Nigeria; and if elected, he will not serve; and if he serves, he will have the shortest stay in Aso Rock ever. Tinubu has never held any nationwide office nor sway or power in Nigeria and for a reason, he is not trustworthy. He is alienating more Nigerians, especially the Southeast Ndigbo, who did him no harm, an dit will certainly be his Achilles heels in his maniacal quest to get into Aso Rock. If Bola Tinubu thinks that his current antics, back stabbing and newly found servile (love) relationship with Muhammadu Buhari will be enough to put him into Aso Rock come 2023, he must be delusional. He is on a Mission Impossible as it will not happen and not in a Nigeria as still presently constituted.
