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

DO YOU?.

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

Never get in bed with a woman whose problems are worse than yours. - Chicago PD.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

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

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

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.

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.

CORONAVIRUS: INJECTING DISINFECTANT NOT RIGHT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

ICHEOKU says the president has gotten away with so many things over the years, but the suggestion or insinuation that disinfectants could be introduced internally into the body to cure coronavirus is to say the least ignorant and a lack of basic knowledge about toxicity. Anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of biology, knows that human organs are so fragile that acidic compounds easily corrode them, resulting in death by poisoning. It is the same result whether you inject or ingest them as with those who drink chemicals including Sniper rat poison. 

ICHEOKU says there is nothing to defend the president in this circumstances and the fact that he tried to explain it away as a sarcastic comment made the matter worse, because the seriousness of the coronavirus and the untoward loss of human lives and destruction to economy it has caused does not warrant any humor about the disease or its cure, especially not at this time. It is okay if the president misspoke in which case a withdrawal of statement will be in order; but to try to parry it away as a sarcastic comment is a diminishment on the part of the president and also an insult on the intelligence of the rest of society who watched the president say what he said. It was clear and bereft of any interpretation or subliminal innuendo that the president seriously put the suggestion out as something worth looking into. 

ICHEOKU says has been recommending for some time now that the president remove himself from the daily briefings and allow the man he appointed chairman of the Taskforce on coronavirus, his Vice President Michael Pence and his team to do the job. What is the point of putting them in charge of the coronavirus effort when the president still micromanages them and wants to always be the one staging the show, when he is not involved in the day to day detailed work which the task force is doing. If the president does not want the task force to continue to function, he should disband them and absorb their duties; but it is inconceivable that he out-stages them in the manner he does. 

Also, the fact that many people love and listen to the president should make it imperative that he first checks his utterances and recommendations very well with the experts to avoid unintended consequences. What if some people have already injected lysol or bleach after hearing the president utter those words. Tweets are different from statements made on the pulpit of the presidency, which are weightier and the president should be guided with much level of seriousness when so situated. It becomes more problematic at the same time he is excoriating the World Health Organization for their wrong information to the world about the coronavirus, yet he was similarly giving wrong information about cure for the coronavirus himself. 

What the president said exposed him to unimaginable ridicule and goes on to buttress what his detractors has been saying that the president is empty and does not know much. Why give his enemies a loaded gun one would ask by saying such idiotic thing that somewhat adds credence to what they have been saying that what a basic knowledge would have imbibed the president is lacking. It was a jaw dropping pitiful moment watching the president say that and this should be time for the president to lay low and let the experts deal with the science behind the coronavirus. He can always periodically make appearances, may be once a week to take some political questions, but always defer the science and medical questions, especially the trap questions, to the medical people in the task force. 

Enough of this shooting on the foot which the president often does to himself, creating too much jobs for his handlers deal with in cleaning up afterwards. Many of the presidents supporters including ICHEOKU are not happy when the president makes such otherwise avoidable faux pas, especially in an election year, thus providing the Democratic Party with a lot of ammunition for their campaign videos. There are a lot of things being a wise guy bequeaths on somebody, but ingesting or injecting a corrosive disinfectant into the body is definitely not one of them. It is shameful that the president even entertained such thought in the first place and very embarrassing he uttered it out publicly. Please Mr President, kindly take a backseat on the daily briefings and let Mike Pence do his job alongside the experts in the coronavirus task force.
