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

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.

HAITI STILL MISSING THE POINT: HOW COULD SUCH A THING EVER HAPPEN?

ICHEOKU says Haiti is still not getting it. The issue is not the effort they are making to solve the assassination of President Jovenel Moise. Rather, the issue is how the president was killed that so easily in his bedroom inside his own home. Put in another words, who allowed it to happen? Who signed off on it? Where was his presidential protection unit and even assuming they faced an overwhelming firepower, why did they not call for support from the presidential guard, wing of the military; and if they did, why were they not dispatched quickly enough, and if they did, what was their response time? 

Why were surrounding points of entry and exit around the president's home not cordoned off, with police controlling and checking vehicular movements in and out of the area and some on stationed at mounted roadblocks. What was the level of security provided for a Haitian president, especially the roiling insecurity problem in their country considered, such that a band of "mercenaries" came in and assassinated a sitting president and now the Haitian authorities are trying to convince the world that they are working to "solve" the assassination, having arrested many and killed some of the perpetrators and now have found a "doc" from Florida who sponsored the assassination. What a story.

How could such "gang" of assassins so easily infiltrate Haiti, penetrate the home of the president and kill him on his bed without being discovered, confronted and possible neutralized much earlier. How could they even easily planned everything without a whiff of it being captured by Haiti security and intelligence agencies. It is a sad commentary on them really. It was not only the president that was killed by this assassination, the entire Haitian security apparatus were also "assassinated" because if they could not protect the president, who else is safe in Haiti. What use are they anyway? How was it possible to violate Haiti in such a manner and to the level of assassinating their president inside his own home and on his own bed. 

It is not as if presidents have not been assassinated elsewhere before including in Egypt, Nigeria and even in America. But to carry out such a dastardly act inside the president's home and not it being a somewhat "crime of opportunity" tripped by movement outside the president's abode, his fortress, have just topped every imaginable possible such scenario of presidential  assassinations. How many were these "gang" members or rather mercenaries and what caliber of weapons did they come with to have easily overpowered the president's security and protection unit. An issue made more concerning because Haiti has not told the world if any other person was killed, other than the president. So, how many of the president's protection details lost their lives trying to protect and defend the president? 

From the bullet riddled walls and vehicles seen on video, it seems that so many shots were fired and the operation possibly lasted for at least thirty minutes; so where was the reinforcement and where was the backup rushed to the president's home following the invasion. But instead of explaining what everybody wants to understand, the Haitian authority or whatever is left of it, are busy now introducing yet another "DOC" in their lexicon. This time, an "Adult Doc" from Florida who they just told the world was the mastermind of the assassination, triggering a flashback of the harried memories of Baby Doc; and you wonder whether "docs" nightmare will ever end in Haiti and what has "docs" got to do with Haiti. 

So, as the world continues its wait for the unfolding tragic drama in Port-Au-Prince to fully give up its contents, ICHEOKU says the authorities in Haiti should concentrate their effort more on the inside baseball of the assassination and not dwell too much on who the players are that allegedly carried it out, admitted they are indispensable in the whole equation. It is not about who wanted it to happen but who allowed it to happen. Who among Haiti military and security outfits participated in the assassination since no "doc" whether from Florida or not, adult or baby, could successfully kill the president unless Haitian security signed off on the plot. If there is a name worse than "third world country" and "banana republic", Haiti has earned and now richly deserves such a moniker. What happened in Haiti has topped every madness ever possible in a failed State and which now puts Haiti on a life support.  #WhoKilledPresidentMoise.
