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.

AHMAUD MARQUEZ ARBERY'S KILLERS FOUND GUILTY.

ICHEOKU says once again there was a video of the incident and it was not controvertible as it captured the very moment that made all the difference in the returned verdict. The video showed an unarmed black man jogging through a park, was confronted and struggling with his killer before he fired shots into him taking his life and at such a youthful young age of only 25 years.

There was no apparent provocation by the victim, and there was no noticeable self defense issue that could have triggered the shooting. It was a clear cut case of extreme prejudice gone awry and resulted to the death of an unarmed black man, shot simply because the killer can(could); deluded that there will be no consequences for his action because it is Brunswick Glynn Country Georgia State and black people are not allowed to jog in their town.

But unfortunately for them, the jury saw it differently and they were also disciplined enough to be guided only by the evidence and not their skin color which majority of them share with the now convicted murderers. It was the same thing with Kyle Rittenhouse's case, which incident was also captured on video and showed that Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self defense. While the jury in Ahmaud Arbery saw the wantonness of his killers on the video, the jury in Kyle Rittenhouse saw a helpless and threatened Kyle Rittenhouse act to defend himself from imminent bodily harm and possible death. They saw the self defense themselves and decided to allow shooting in self defense survive their verdict. 

Both cases were meritoriously decided solely on the weight of evidence presented before the jury, which were largely aided by videos which captured the crucial moments in time that encapsulated both cases. There were no biases and there were no other extraneous influences that came into play to berth both verdicts. The verdicts in both cases were the right and correct decisions; and it does not matter your politics or social ideology as both cases were decided based on ascertainable and verified evidences and video which even a Steve Wonder can attest to.

ICHEOKU says if there is anything worthy of celebrating from both verdicts, it is that they were rightly and correctly decided and American people should be happy and proud of both outcomes. But the far left, in their always usual selective righteous indignation, choose and pick what is a good verdict and bad verdict. They are celebrating the guilty verdict in Ahmaud Arbery's case, but protested the not guilty verdict of Kyle Rittenhouse just because it was not the outcome they wanted, regardless of the evidence. 

The far left nut-jobs is the root cause of the trouble in America, as their position is frequently dictated by how they feel. Their emotions drive the pistons in their engines and their very thin skin does not allow them to make dispassionate decisions, at least not too often. Imagine if others begin to imitate them what upheaval such will stir up in the society. These lunatics forget that they are not the only ones living in America and that there is a reason a uniform law exists and is equally applied across the board.

Anyway, as the three convicted murderers now spend the rest of their natural lives behind bars, let other would be such racist hotheads, who still think and behave as if America is still stuck in the 1950s, have a serious rethink. Let the now sealed fate of Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and their neighbor/friend William Roddie Bryan be a lesson that killing of black people just because you can comes with stiff consequences. Hopefully the message has now, by this verdict, been reaffirmed and resent loudly and clearly that we are no longer in Kansas and that such malice murder comes with life in prison.

May the soul of Ahmaud Marquez Arbery now rest. To his bereaved family, especially his indefatigable Amazonian of a mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, may she begin to finally find some healing from such a tragic loss of a son. It is a pain that will definitely linger on for a long time and most likely accompany her to her grave. She should find some solace and consolation in the experience of Holy Mary the mother of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, whose son was similarly lynched by the Jews. 

Although the verdict will not resurrect her son nor bring him back, but the fact that his killers did not go unpunished should be a form of consolatory "prize" for her unrelenting quest for justice for her slain son; admitted nothing was in fact actually gained by anyone in the outcome, speaking in the real sense of it. Lets hope that the verdict will now bring some closure to the divisiveness in America and lower the temperature on both sides; and also help put a bandaid to polarizing Americans who are gradually finding themselves on extreme parallel sides. Adieu Ahmaud Marquez Arbery, may he now rest on.
