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.

JUMMAI NACHE: A COVID-19/PFIZER VACCINE DOUBLE AMPUTEE NEEDS HELP.

ICHEOKU says is an advocate of vaccination and continues to urge people to get vaccinated against the coronavirus disease. The vaccines are largely safe and millions of people have already got their shots without much side effects and in the very few exceptional cases where side effects resulted, they are comparatively, small. However, this is not to discountenance that some few people had serious adverse reaction to the vaccines, and now suffering from all manners of health issues including uncontrollable body quaking, trembling and convulsion, hearing loss, impacted vision and in some extreme cases, the loss of limbs. In some rare cases, some people died following vaccination as their body reacted so violently to the vaccine and could not handle it. 

Although the instances of this extreme adverse effects is relatively negligible compared to the millions of people who did not react to the vaccine adversely, but one death or one adverse reaction, is still one too many as nobody expected to die or lose their limbs following a vaccination. It should not be a case of running away from the frying pan and ended up inside the fire as people want to be inoculated against the Chinese killer virus and not be killed in the process. Such an outcome was not the bargained for benefit that motivated their presenting themselves to be vaccinated. Therefore the government in conjunction with the pharmaceutical companies involved should set up a fund from which compensation could be paid to those people who got the opposite of their bargain and were left holding the short-end of the stick; or worse still ended up in the grave yard, sent there not by the coronavirus but by the vaccine which was meant to prevent such an outcome.

The government and vaccine producers can easily undertake this as the insured and insurable risk will be drastically limited to only those who suffered loss of limbs and/or death as a result of taking the coronavirus vaccines. Such beneficiaries should be strictly limited to only those who did not have coronavirus disease prior to getting their vaccination and subsequently developed such a life threatening or compounding problems such as amputations of their legs and/or arms. The number of such sufferers will not be too many and such a step will also help incentivize and encourage those who are still squeamish about getting their shots, to take that leap of fate, fully aware that should anything happen to them as a result, such as incapacitation or even death, that their loved ones will be compensated.

Life as we know it is hard and it becomes even harder when loved ones, due to no fault of theirs, suddenly become incapacitated or even die; leaving behind a lot of hurt and un-fillable void. Worse still if they are the breadwinners of their household and their family is left foraging for sustenance and survival. Many people, if given the option to die from the coronavirus or die from the vaccine, would readily go for the former; a  matter made even worse when their demise is preceded with long suffering hospitalization, intubation, amputations of all their limbs and all other things done in trying to prevent the inevitable, which they eventually ended up succumbing to. Why would anyone want to go through all the problems first before getting there, instead of just getting it over quickly by getting there as speedily as possible. It does not make sense, not at all.

The case of the Minnesota woman Jummai Nache is so heartrending that nobody would wish it on their worst enemy. A loving wife, mother, medical worker and a Christian who went for her second shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine on February 1st only to be rushed to Urgent Care on February 6th following complaints of chest pain. A day later on February 7th, she tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus disease and her condition took a turn for the worse as it deteriorated so quickly, leading to intensive care hospitalization and oxygenated intubation,. Her two legs were subsequently amputated as a result of irreversible damage to circulation to her lower extremities. She suffered massive blood clotting, respiratory difficulties, weakness of heart muscles, reduced red blood cells and inadequate blood supply to her body organs and organs  inflammation. 

Although she is out of the intensive care but her medical woes are not over yet as she will soon also lose both of her hands which are set for amputations as well. Imagine a life of a quadruple amputee, all possibly because of COVID-19 and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. However, since she did not react adversely to the first shot of the vaccine and did not have coronavirus then or during the two weeks waiting period soon thereafter, it becomes arguable whether it is still plausible to attribute her adverse condition to the vaccine? But since she still got infected after completing her vaccination with the second shot and then reacted this badly, what possibly could have caused it? ICHEOKU says it must be a case of someone being extremely unlucky because were it due to the vaccine, she would have been struck immediately upon getting her first shot. It therefore must be as a result of complications from COVID-19, but why was she still infected after getting her two shots?

Anyway, she is one very unfortunate lady as she did everything right by getting her shots, yet ended up getting COVID-19 and suffering such devastating health complications. It is people like her that makes the need to set up a compensation fund imperative in order to assist people who due to no fault of theirs ended up with such debilitating health issues. The government in Washington DC as well as in Minnesota and also the city of Minneapolis should give this woman all the assistance which she needs paying her medical expenses as well as life going forward. Her case is where her representative Congresswoman Ilhan Omar should be in the forefront  soliciting for help on her behalf. Their church Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention have already taken a good step by setting up a GoFundMe page for her and hopefully many people will be touched by her story to surpass the set goal of raising $500,000 towards her medical bills and upkeep. Please visit her GoFundMe page today and help as much as you can - #GoFundMe for Jummai Nache.
