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.

ASHRAF GHANI'S APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED: ABANDONING HIS PEOPLE IS TREASONOUS.

"I owe the Afghan people an explanation for leaving Kabul abruptly on August 15th after Taliban unexpectedly entered the city. I left at the urging of the palace security who advised me that to remain risked setting off the same horrific street-to-street fighting the city had suffered during the Civil War of the 1990s. Leaving Kabul was the most difficult decision of my life, but I believed it was the only way to keep the guns silent and save Kabul and her 6 million citizens." - Ashraf Ghani, deserter and former president of Afghanistan.

ICHEOKU says the only thing the woke former president of Afghanistan, a captain who abandoned ship on the high seas with millions of Afghanis still in it and left to drown, can satisfactorily do now is to fall on his sword and commit harakiri. He was the commander in chief of Afghanistan National Army and he fled in the midst of battle, deserting his command post and left his troops and millions of Afghanistan citizens at the mercy of the invading Taliban. 

Therefore, no amount of explanation or apology will be enough to rectify the damage which his cowardly decision to run away to safety, abandoning millions of Afghanistan citizens who he took oath of office to defend and protect from all enemies foreign and domestic, caused. What exactly is he trying to explain and to who; or that the Taliban is not in power today in Kabul and dictating the policy of the state, having instituted an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan with an acute sharia law flavor. Who is he actually apologizing to and expecting to accept it?

Is he apologizing to the millions of Afghanistan women and girls who have lost their twenty year freedom to wear make up, dress up, acquire education and then hold gainful employment? Is his apology for the hundreds of thousands of people who hitherto settled in Afghanistan but who have now been forced to be evacuated for fear of the terror of the Taliban? Is his apology to the United States of America which supplied Afghanistan with $83 billion worth of ammunition, weapons, aircrafts including many helicopters, tanks and other military equipments which are now in the hands of the Taliban? 

Who is this fella apologizing to really or is it to the investors and entrepreneurs who have put down roots in Afghanistan in the last twenty years, believing that the political stage of Afghanistan is safely secured to do business and thrive? Who exactly is this man making his apology to and expect to receive it, forgive him or forget what he did, the greatest betrayal of his people and other people living in Afghanistan. But he is a liberal Berkeley California educated fellow and possessed of a mindset that thinks first about self before others, thinking that apologizing later will suffice. 

How about the thousands of Afghanistan people who lost their lives because they did not flee but chose to stand up and die fighting to save Afghanistan from the Taliban. How about the thousands of American troops and their allies who died fighting the Taliban with hope of saving Afghanistan from the Taliban? How about the trillions of dollars spent on Afghanistan in an attempt to plant and sustain democracy in Afghanistan? But no, only Ashraf Ghani's life is so precious and worth saving that he felt he cannot make necessary sacrifice, if need be, to save it. 

ICHEOKU says anybody who accepts or even thinks about forgiving this man for what he did, needs to have his or her head examined. Were was his loyalty to his people when he ran away at their hour of greatest need of him to protect them from the Taliban. He was the center of gravity of democracy in Afghanistan but decided to let democracy collapse and die simply because of his selfishness and self centeredness. He convinced himself that his personal interest exceeds the greater interest of Afghanistan when he fled and here he is now, opening his mouth to offer an apology and give useless explanation. 

For what use are they anyway if one may ask? Former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani should stuff his apology in his you know where, the darkest place in his anatomy where the sun hardly ever reaches. That is where his apology belongs as nobody wants to hear it or needs it; his apology is not accepted. He is a sad commentary to manhood and he will forever live in the shame of his deserting his people when they needed him and his leadership most. His name will live in infamy for abandoning his Afghanistan people without a care in the world if the Taliban slaughtered them all. Shame on him.
