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

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


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.

WUHAN CORONAVIRUS: THE ATTACK OF THE MICROBES, WORSE THAN 9/11.

ICHEOKU says if it were a massed army, the government can send the Marines to deal it a fatal blow. If it were terrorists, the government can track them down and knock the hell out of them and out of this world. But a virus is microscopic organism and dealing with it is rather a much more complex scientific endeavor. 

Scientists have to understand its culture, isolate and split them and eventually find a remedy for its infection such as vaccination. So patience is what it will take to find a solution to the affliction, but unfortunately, American people are not a patient people, hence all the media assisted panic in the country which has led to America gradually shutting down before our own very eyes. 

Without societal interactions, shopping, dinning out, sports, events, ceremonies, schools, gatherings and entertainment, America as we know it is gone and America gone, is the objective of the Chinese Wuhan disease aka Coronavirus or those behind it. As a result, America must see itself as the primary target of the virus outbreak which intention to knock it off its pedestal as the hottest economy on planet earth; completely stop it economic run and entirely wipe out the gains of the last three years plus. It seems that this disease and those possibly behind it are succeeding as America is shutting down before our own very eyes as all those institutions and activities that make America uniquely great are shuttering their doors faced with a threatening Coronavirus. 

It is easy to run away from the arena of conflict by quarantining, but what will happen if the virus decides to follow us into our respective homes and houses. Where will society then run to in order to escape its scourge. Is it not better society man's up and do not allow the microbes to ruin it for everybody, resume their activities and in the process develop immunity for it. 

Running away restaurants, shops, trains, planes, theaters, classrooms and other places which society gathers is a recipe for disaster as not only is the economy hurting, but society is gradually falling apart and picking up the pieces later, might be difficult to say the least. Society needs to return to its basics and let the tree fall where they may and that's the only thing that will help take society back from the grip of the Chinese Wuhan disease aka Coronavirus. The streets have thinned out, deserted by fear stricken citizens who do not want to contract the disease nor die; but when has running away from problem ever solved a problem.

It is possible that a rogue operator in the Chinese communist party's security forces, who was tired of the biting tariffs and trade war being waged by America on China, decided to put an end to President Donald John Trump's tweets on how well the American economy is doing and how it has become the envy of the entire world. It is possible too that the Chinese government watched as America's Stock Market index shot through the roof, reaching nearly 30,000 points, while the Chinese economy is tanking and decided to bring America down to its level and on her knees by releasing the  Coronavirus. 

But whether the virus was man made, created in a laboratory somewhere and introduced in Wuhan; or it escaped from a badly managed Chinese biological war laboratory near the wet meat market in Wuhan, it is now irrelevant. The who did what and the pointing of accusing finger on one another as being the source or origin of the virus should now take a back seat. What the world needs right now is to get that genie back into the bottle before it translates into an apocalypse for mankind, assuming the prognosis is right and correct that the virus is ten times more lethal and very contagious than regular seasonal flu disease. The relevant question which now urgently needs an answer is how does the world fix the bad bitch.

There will certainly be a time in the future when it will be a right time to investigate the origin of the contagion and then squarely place the blame for it where it lies. Many people believe it is China who caused the virus to escape from its biological laboratory, despite Russia's Vladimir Putin's allegation that COVID-19 was a CIA manufacture "agent-orange" which the America government tested in Wuhan to determine its broader efficacy. The Chinese government seems to have bought into the Russia's conspiracy theory  misinformation, which was intended to sow discord between America and China, as it appears the Russians have succeeded as China has now accused America of being the source of the virus. 

One medical doctor told ICHEOKU that Coronavirus was an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) discharge from 5G high impact Internet and not any of the suggested organic virus out of the middle of nowhere. He claimed that the governments of the various countries in the world were aware of this electromagnetic pulses from 5G, but are reluctant to switch it off due to its monetary value and the potential enormous wealth creation expected from it. His argument was that Wuhan and Milan are the most 5G saturated cities in the world and that the cruise ship Grande Princess was recently fitted with 5G Internet capabilities which is the reason it was also effected by the virus. 

ICHEOKU does not know how credible the 5G theory is, but it is still a theory worth looking into, as everything humanly possible should be done to zero down on the spread, contain and defeat this plague. Therefore cooperation among countries is highly needed to find solution to the virus and hopefully, the world will solve the problem timely to avoid the collapse of many countries and their economies. 

ICHEOKU says if only China had manned up and admitted to the existence of this virus on time, may be the world would've since found some remedial measures to help impose itself over this virus. But the usual Chinese reluctance to share things with the rest of the world and repression of voices in China has worked grave disservice on the rest of the world and prevented it from finding a panacea to this dreadful disease. A timely disclosure by the Beijing authorities would have bought the world a much needed time to do something about the virus before it turned pandemic. 

Anyway, on a lighter note, if there is ever going to be an end of mankind, such a global affliction is what it will take, as a hopeless world will watch helplessly in vain as drugs immune microbes eat away at its humanity. Also, if there is ever going to be an alien invasion, they will come in the form of microscopic organisms which will make it impossible to defend from and fight back. Lets hope it has not come to that and that the world will find a solution to the pandemic very soon, so that life as we know it can restart. 

With the closures of so many places of public converge and banning of public gatherings, many people have heed the call to hunker down, making many cities begin to look like a scene from Will Smith's movie, "I Am Legend." But the good news is that the virus have been identified and the government is on top of the situation; and provided the fear induced panic is allayed, the virus will be contained and eventually fixed, so that the wheel of civilization can resume its turning and in full speed, otherwise we are doomed.
