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

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.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SUPPORT OF TWITTER BAN IN NIGERIA: RASH AND HARSH.

ICHEOKU says President Donald John Trump just lost a lot of supporters with his endorsement of a very unpopular anti people's ban of Twitter in Nigeria. It shows that the president is ill advised and ill informed and often times does not necessary first do his homework very well before reacting on issues. What in the hell was he thinking when he made this pronouncement, regardless of how he feels personally about Twitter and for a good reason. How can the many Nigerian people who empathized with him and have been boycotting Twitter since he was banned by Twitter in solidarity with him, now feel, finding out that the president selfishly cares only about himself and not for what is good for other people. If he was not banned by Twitter, will his opinion on the ban of Twitter in Nigeria have been the same or would he not have said that it was a vagrant abuse and a censorship of the rights of Nigerians to freely use social media unimpeded. 

What is wrong with him or must he completely alienate the rest of black people of Nigerian decent who still supports him. It was the same Nigerian government of Muhammadu Buhari which slaughtered over two hundred and fifty Nigerians who were celebrating Trump's triumph over Hillary Clinton and his election as president in 2016. Their death sentence offense was simply because the Nigerian government had wanted Hilary Clinton to win and had donated heavily to the Hillary Clinton's campaign using all manners of proxy contributors including the Chaugori Lebanese Nigerian family. The Nigerian government also gave as one of their reason that Trump was an anti Muslims Christian fundamentalist who will not tolerate the Muslim Fulani quest for total and complete domination in Nigeria. 

It was the same Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari who allowed his Fulani ethnic group to continue their wanton slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, burning of churches and destruction of Christians properties which has so far claimed more than ten thousands lives in Nigeria as well as billions of Naira in lost properties. When Muhammadu Buhari was confronted by the same President Trump, he lied that it was just mere farmer and herder crisis and the Trump's government believed him without fully   investigating the wantonness and arbitrariness of the Buhari government in Nigeria. It was the same Nigerian Buhari government which forcefully dispersed joyful Nigerians who took to the street in Lagos to celebrate Trump's victory in 2016. Needless to add that Aso Rock celebrated on November 3rd 2020 and January 20th, 2021 when President Trump was finally shoved out of the White House. 

So this support for a very unpopular action by a man who hates President Donald John Trump shows a gross irrationality as majority of Twitter savvy Nigerians from Christian Southern Nigeria loves President Donald John Trump dearly as opposed to their Northern Islamic section, including thousands of them in the United States of America who constitute a large portion of blacks who voted for President Trump both in 2016 and 2020. ICHEOKU says will not mince words in condemning what the MAGA leader did by this endorsement of such a violative act of depriving millions of Nigerians access to Twitter. It conveys the message that the president is in it just for what is good for him alone and inconsiderate of other people, including millions of his Nigerian supporters. The expressed support for the Twitter ban in Nigeria was wrong and ill conceived of the president and therefore condemnable. 

So because Mark Zuckerberg was dinning with him, he did not ban Facebook assuming he could since the court would have reversed him anyway. So how about Twitter, why did he not ban them or was Mr Rasputin Jack Dorsey also being dinned at the White House secretly without our knowing about it. How about the millions of other people who use Twitter or should they, as far as Trump is concerned, be collectively punished just because the president is currently a persona non grata on the platform. It smacks of selfishness and at this rate, the president is bleeding his supporters and with it, their votes should he ever nurse an ambition of a second coming in the White House. Such utterances and active support for a maniacal Islamist fundamentalist dictator in Nigeria will work against the ambition. 

President Trump offended millions of people, the so many different nationalities battling for survival in Nigeria under the anvil and hammer of the Fulani government of Muhammadu Buhari. He has thus alienated them by this openly expressed support for their nemesis who cut them off from the world of Tweeting and they have thousands of fellow country men in the United States of America who vote in elections. It is a big disappointment that the President Donald John Trump who they love so much could be this callous over a matter which affects them severely. Nigerians could use an apology from President Donald John Trump for being anti Nigerians and siding with a dictator disguised as a democrat. A peoples president for Americans now turned anti people's personality for Nigerians or is it because Nigeria is a shitholey country and President Trump does not give a damn. It is sad.
