ICHEOKU says if this could happen in such a public place with the world watching, imagine the number of naps he usually takes behind closed door in the White House with no camera or preying eyes watching. But taking a nap is not a criminal behavior nor a big deal at all, as even many young active people frequently steal naps whenever they can get it.
Who hasn't ever stolen a nap before in their lifetime, including during lectures, in classrooms, work places and sometimes even behind the driving wheel. The president is not an exception, he is human and as a grand father too, it was probably past his bedtime, the difference in the time zones between Washington DC/Delaware and Glasgow Scotland considered.
It was a presidential nap and might end up being the most talked about development out of the 26th edition of United Nation Organization's Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP26) summit in Glasgow Scotland, capable of overshadowing even the principal reason for the conference, the unraveling climate. He was not the first leader to ever doze off during a conference or summit, Olusegun Obasanjo regularly did and still does the same thing; and Robert Mugabe mastered the art of frequently teleporting himself out of meetings, conferences and summits during his waning days. It is not an easy task carrying millions of people's problems on one's shoulders.
However, people should not read too much meaning into the presidential closed eyes as Mr President probably was just meditating or reflecting on some burning national and world issues including how America will help the world fight climate change or simply closed his eyes to shut out the many lights that were shinning into them. It is possible too that the speech became so boring that it lulled the president to sleep. But whatever may be the reason, nobody died or was harmed as a result of the presidential nap and therefore, no harm, no foul.
Anyway, it is yet another evidence that former President Donald John Trump's sixth sense is top notch as he recognized Joe Biden's penchant for sleepiness very much earlier and truthfully called it when he branded him Sleepy Joe. But hey, he is the president of the United States of America and he can do whatever the heck he wants; at the least the world got a rare privilege, seeing the president of the United States of America in his weakest moment with his two eyes completely shut off from the many problems facing America as well as the wider world. It is a momentous historical event seeing a presidential nap because it is not common, it is rare. Now, let everybody move on and not remain fixated on it. #SleepyJoe@COP26.

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
