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.


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.

JENNIFER LOPEZ: SIMPLY TOO OLD TO EXPECT TOO MUCH IN LOVE.

ICHEOKU says she missed her opportunity at a "happily ever after" when she walked away from Puff Diddy following the December 1999 New York night club shooting incident. Since then she has been restless in love, even though "love don't cost a thing", jumping from one man to another in search of the elusive happiness and affection. Those men who she has been with who we publicly know are Ojani Noa, P. Diddy, Chris Judd, Ben Afflect, Marc Anthony, Drake and then Rodriguez, her latest break up. How will she explain her unlucky in love experience to her daughter is always the question in many people's mind.

Jenny From The Block's biggest problem is that she is still expecting too much from the men who still come around her, forgetting that she is no longer a spring chicken. As a 51 year old severely overused woman, mother and even old enough to be a grandmother,  she should be grateful that some men still find her good enough to date. These men should  be forgiven if their eyes once in a while stray or they even periodically go out of the way to get some elsewhere; provided they later return home back to her. But instead of being mindful of the fact that nature has played a fast one on her as it does with every mortal, she still expects exclusive love from famous people dating her, despite their being much sort after by much younger and much more beautiful women without children, as additional unwanted attention divider. Put in another way, Jennifer Lopez should rather be grateful that some of these men still finds her attractive amidst the cutthroat competition out there with so many under 25 luscious damsels. 

She is no longer what she used to be thirty or twenty years ago when she was the it, the hottest chic around, who every man who could wanted to have beside them. So, her present "I am good enough to be your only love" and "it is just me or nothing" or "I will not share you with anyone"  attitude will not serve her very well. The temptation out there is simply too much that it will be very difficult for her to find a rich and famous, high net worth, able man, whose eyes will not be darting around or even publicly flirting with much younger women from time to time. Her all or nothing posture will not work and if she insists, she will either have to remain single and lonely for a long time or she will eventually have to settle for a less famous man who is not as rich as those she likes to date. It is a fact of life that circumstances sometimes dictates conscience and wise people adjust accordingly by settling for the available if their desirable is not available.

But what is even the derivative value in dating such a spent bullet, who so many men have been through that she could easily pass for an "In and Out" burger joint. She has had her moment in  the sun and yes, she was the it when it lasted; but not anymore. She is now too old to stay very competitive in the dating field, particularly with the type of men she would rather date and tolerate. Fifty one years for anybody is old and for a woman still in the dating field, it becomes one heck of an inhibitor. At her age and the lengthy history of men who have been through her, she is literary like a left over food which should be otherwise sour by now if not for refrigeration. But she is rich and medical and physical sciences and of course good nutrition and healthy habits have kept her looking better than she would otherwise be, but that has not diminished the fact that is a 51 year old mother of two, some of whose mates are already grandmas.

ICHEOKU says she is simply too old to still be too choosey. How many grandmothers are still out there, wagging their tail feathers, expecting a rich and famous man to look at them. What Jennifer Lopez really needs is no longer another man, but a psychiatric evaluation to figure out why she goes through men with the frequency she does; and then follow it up with a psychological counseling on how to curb her libidinous inclinations that drives her insatiable desire for men. In some other cultures, only a pensioner/widower will be looking at her way by now, so she is indeed lucky that she is still getting propositions. She should therefore learn how to make necessary accommodations for her men to sometimes use their wandering eyes and if they stray a little, just pretend as if she did not know about it. 

This is only a commonsensical solution and our mothers and grandmothers deployed it to achieve their long lasting marital experience. Men sometimes do stray and it will be foolhardy to expect a man to become an enoch just because you said so, admitted some men are very loyal when they love and really care about someone. Women, too. ICHEOKU says would have suggested that she pack it up with men and quit trying, but since she likes men as is obviously evident, she should learn to adjust her expectations accordingly in order to help her secure a lasting companionship. But hey, it is only Jennifer Lopez that will rightly advise Jennifer Lopez going forward and hopefully she will advise herself properly and also listen to her advise. Until then, best of luck to her.
