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.

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.

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.

BBC's YOUNG PRAY MORE SURVEY: WEST GONE WITH THE WIND OF WOKE CULTURE.

ICHEOKU says a recent news beat on BBC reported a survey which found that young people in the United Kingdom now pray more than their adult counterparts. But the real story is that only Muslims and Hindus were showcased and probably the only ones interviewed for the survey, but not young Christians, most likely in continuation of the war against God and Christianity. It is an inexplicable and incomprehensible absurdity that either BBC and/or the conductor of the survey, in their infinite wisdom, decided on such dichotomy and that only the two religions are worthy of their survey, but not the traditionally Western-centric Christianity.  

Christianity is the bedrock of the Western civilization but it is gradually being relegated to the background and to some extent nearly completely banished from our lives, that it is steadily being treated as a nuisance, disturbance and distraction to the Woke agenda plaguing Western countries. In its place, Islam and other religions are quickly filling the void and with active help of Western media and their talking heads, which are bent on perverting the society with their anti Christianity messaging. They are also heavily invested in teaching behaviors which are anti Christianity in their effort to further dilute Christianity's moral authority and weaken it. 

It is not only in the United Kingdom that this assault on Christianity is going on but throughout the Western world including the United States of America, where being a Christian is now considered and lumped together as "white supremacy". Everything the Bible frowns at is being shamelessly celebrated and everything the Bible teaches is being challenged, including creation. They even sometimes claim that Bible is anti science and that the believe in a higher being is simplistic and moronic, to say the least. They are doing whatever they can to ensure that Christianity is diminished to such extent that people become ashamed of identifying as Christians. 

So, British Broadcasting Corporation and whoever conducted the survey did not and couldn't find young Christians to also ask in the survey if they too are also praying more than their Christian adults counterparts? Possibly, they were afraid of finding young Westerners who they have since brainwashed into abandoning the Christian faith, and made a calculated decision not to embarrass themselves or skew the outcome of their already predetermined survey slant. They wanted a story in that line and they went for the lowest handing fruits that will give them what they desired. 

It is the game they play, set up a declared story and then find the target people to fill in the blanks. They wanted a story that conveys a message that the coronavirus pandemic made people so afraid that they embraced prayers more, clinging unto it to find solace in an otherwise pandemic distorted and disorientated world. But unfortunately, their idea of "young people who now pray more than adults" did not include young Christian Westerners, as it is apparent that only Muslims and Hindus qualified for their survey. 

One of the Muslim girl surveyed said that her faith means stability for her as it is the only thing that she knows that is stable and clear. According to her, every time she watches television news, there is always something negative going on and she feels that it is only in her prayers that she have clarity. Further, that she knows that religion is a guaranteed, stabilizing thing in life and she uses it to find some grounding and solace. In fact she said that her faith is her anchor in life, the reason she prays without ceasing. 

So, does it mean that her Christian Western counterparts do not agree with her or is it the reason there is a lot of social upheaval and disorder in the West, with a lot of drug and alcohol use, anger, suicides and bloody violence? Are Christian Western young people so far removed from God and prayers that they have become despondent and in their devastated state of self help, have become hopeless that they are seeking answers to many questions without finding them and resorting to self destruct as a means to an end. 

Being anchor-less and left adrift in the ocean of confusion without God and prayers, is this why   they cannot find solace in alcohol and drugs, leading to rising suicides and gun and knife violence. Is it time we seek God in his full glory and ask Him to come back and take control of our lives and save us from our helplessness and hopelessness, since we cannot do much by only the strength of our sinews. Could this possibly be why other religions adherents seem to have all the answers, the reason there is less suicides, drug use and gun and knife violence among them. 

Our media must help us get a handle on the steadily eroding and imploding Western civilization. They must stop the incessant attacks on God, Christianity, principles and teachings of the Bible which have helped sustain Western civilization for as long as it have lasted. For example, supplanting Sodom and Gomorrah with open homosexuality or creation with evolutionary nonsensical are attacks on the root of Christianity which has eroded faith in Christianity, admitted Catholic priests molestations of alter boys did not help matters. BBC should have made their survey more comprehensive and even if young Christians said otherwise, they would have still included them in the report for an all balanced outcome. 

They did not interview them and it telegraphed a message that either they could not find young Christians to interview or Christianity no longer matters in the Western world and have now been replaced by Islam and Hinduism. It is ominous because once the strong pedestal upon which Western civilization was founded is eroded completely, the civilization will collapse. Religion, language and culture are the bedrock of any society and to a large extent a civilization; but Western media is steadily chipping away at this foundation and filling it up with values which were hitherto considered and seen as alien. 

There is nothing that is exclusive any more in the Western world, a matter made worse because other civilizations are not exposing themselves to these incursions. What will happen the day these alien values completely submerges Western values that they replaced them. The down fall of the Western civilization will not come through a military defeat, but it is gradually picking up steam in the form of metastasizing divergent cultures, religions and languages. These erosions  might someday progress to a situation where the falcon cannot hear the falconer and the center cannot hold, as mere anarchy descends upon the earth. What we our fate be.

It is not too late to start steering the ship off the trajectory it is barreling, towards the iceberg. No one is saying not to allow others to thrive, but ours must not be allowed to die. Our young people should be encouraged and taught the values which have carried us through this far, including the believe in God and Christianity. They should not be isolated and left out in surveys about young people praying more than adults because Christianity is a religion and Christians pray and we have young Christians as well. Out young Christians are part of the young people of the world, especially in the United Kingdom where they were the subject of the survey. If we do not protect our own, nobody will do it for us.  BBC, it is a shame.
