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.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

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.


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.

REPUBLICANS ARE TIMID: BEING INTIMIDATED BY DEMOCRATS.

ICHEOKU says if as it has turned out the riot was planned days ahead of the Save America Speech and that the rioters did not act based on the president's urging and instigation, why again is the president being impeached and harassed? Why are Republicans not rising in defense of the president aware that what is going on is a continuation of the war which they declared against the president since 2016 just because he shamed them and their Hillary Clinton by winning an election which was 'meant" for Hillary Clinton's coronation. Why do the Republicans think it is ok to stand hands akimbo and watch a president who grew their party be shafted in this way and without them fighting back as a party of one whose interest is being destroyed by a well crafted and well choreographed schematic attacks which was perfected to get rid of the Republican Party once and for all. 

Where is the mad rage of the Republicans watching the current torment against the president or do they think that American people do not know what is going on. It is such an unfortunate sorry scene watching the Republicans feign helplessness or guilty because of what happened on January 6th. This same Republicans were around during last summer's Black Lives Matter and Anti Fascist movement grind the country to a halt with their vicious and destructive riots which saw so many cities burnt and historical monuments destroyed. Why did the Republicans not hold Democratic Party leaders accountable for all the destruction of BLM and ANTIFA but are now readily accepting that the president should be held responsible for the Capitol melee which saw a negligible number of the greater MAGA family storm the building. 

Why is it acceptable to them or do they think that they can sacrifice the president and hope to rebuild the party on the back of betraying him. When has a fiery political speech amounted to incitement and where were the Republicans when Nancy Pelosi said that the president is an impostor and not her president or was that not inciting enough? Where were Republicans when Democrats accused the president of being a Russian agent and colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election; a narration which continued into the November 3rd 2020 election? Why is it Republicans that "SHOULD" always be reasonable and must "UNDERSTAND" and now forced to jettison their president when Democrats are always united no matter the issue.

If the Democrats could make such claim which have since been debunked as the hoax which it was and forced an investigative inquisition lasting for years, why then is it not acceptable for the president and MAGA family to challenge the November 3rd election as rigged? Why the double standard of treatment and all these are going on with Republican leaders' tactic approval by not pushing back the ongoing intimidation of the president and their party's base. What is not right is not right and it is in the interest of fairness that every American be treated as equal citizens and their respective complaints and concerns be adjudicated fairly. 

There was an election where one candidate campaigned vigorously while the other stayed in his basement. We watched the enthusiastic crowds that graced the campaign rallies. Votes were being counted on election night with a particular trajectory and suddenly the counting were stopped midway and counting not concluded for the first time in history on election night. Then suddenly overnight, the tallies were changed and somebody said it was not suspicious at least? It is a trite rule of law that justice must not only be done but must also be manifestly seen to be done and applying that to a presidential election in a nation where two different philosophies are at loggerhead, it is necessary that either side be satisfied to a reasonable degree that the election was fairly conducted and the counting of votes reasonable well done. 

But to try and force everyone into a grave silence at the penalty of retribution can only send the resentment underground and like an entombed volcano, its eruption will be detrimental to America's wellness. It would have been better if the steam of the election protest was allowed to be fully vented through necessary accommodations; but the current course embarked upon by Democrats with the tacit approval of the leadership of the Republican Party to totally and completely emasculate dissenters is not recommendable. Injustice is not just and rubbing it on their noses is not a good strategy as a viperous snake might be forced to make a venomous death jab. But ICHEOKU blames the Republicans for their sabotage of the president by not fighting back an obvious targeted blackmail and they will pay dearly for what they did to the president by allowing the Democrats to get away with their traducement. It is sad.
