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.

BILL COSBY'S CONVICTION OVERTURNED: FREE AT LAST.

ICHEOKU says the Supreme Court of the great State of Pennsylvania has finally stepped in to undo a wrong and do the right thing, for a man who was treated unfairly by a limelight-seeking and fame-obsessed prosecutor, who discarded an earlier agreement that was reached by his predecessor with Bill Cosby over his 5th Amendment rights. Everybody understands that basic constitutional right which guarantees  protection against self incrimination. 

Bill Cosby also understood this and only cooperated with the former prosecutor based on their agreement that his inalienable right against self incrimination was sacrosanct; and that he will not be prosecuted based on anything which he might say, reveal or "admit" in the civil deposition. It was signed, sealed and delivered upon which Bill Cosby agreed to testify and in the process, made statements which he would otherwise not have made and which the succeeding prosecutor then used to prosecute him, resulting in his conviction and sentence of ten years imprisonment. 

Many unbiased minds had called his conviction for what it was, an act to destroy Bill Cosby's image at whatever cost.  A government is a continuity and agreements reached by a previous prosecutor is and should remain binding on the successor. Good enough the wise Justices have intervened to end the absurdity and restored faith in dealings between citizens and the government, including reestablishing the inviolability of contracts and that contracts must be respected. It was the right thing to do in order to encourage citizens to enter contracts with government, knowing that it will be respected and honored. 

ICHEOKU says is thankful that Bill Cosby did not die in prison as his traducers wanted and wished for. At 83 years old, he should be enjoying his eclipsing golden years on earth peacefully, in the quiet comforts of his home surrounded by those who love him dearly, including his wife of so many years. He does not belong in the prison nor does the six by ten feet prison cell a desirable abode for him, especially for a man who has impacted so many lives and bequeathed so much kindness on a lot of people. He worked for his good life and should enjoy it in peace.

It is a good day in America when justice is served right and the overturn of Bill Cosby's conviction and release from prison, after serving three out of the ten years sentence, is one such justice served right. ICHEOKU says thanks to the Justices of Pennsylvania State Supreme Court for correcting the injustice done to Bill Cosby. Welcome home Bill Cosby, the all time father of America and he remains same to a lot of American people, regardless of the attempted lynching through the justice system that was used to tarnish his name and destroy his character. Kudos too to his appellate attorneys for their tenacity which birthed this verdict. It is well.
