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.

PUTIN HAS TO GO: RUSSIANS WANT HIM GONE TOO.

ICHEOKU says it cannot remain business as usual for the dictator of Russia, regardless of how the current hostilities he brought on Ukraine finally concludes. The West condoned and tolerated him for far too long, to the extent of literally cuddling him, in their attempt to mollify and pacify him. His ego is simply too big for his petite stature such that the more the West tries to massage it, the more his head gets bigger. Now he is madder than he already is and has started breaking things up in Ukraine, a prelude to what is yet to come in Eastern Europe. 

President Vladimir Putin has held forte in Russia for 23 long years and this aberration was accepted by the West just because it is Putin and they are afraid of his choler. Now he has finally removed his mask of Zorro and is attacking an independent sovereign country without provocation, killing many and destroying a lot of stuff. His unprovoked attack must come with consequences and they must go to the root of what he is and what gives him the impetus to do what he does, his power must be taken away from him. 

The Ukraine war presents a golden opportunity for the West to finally cut Putin to size and consign him into the garbage heap of history where he rightly belongs. He must be removed from office and cannot be allowed to remain Russian president, going forward. If he refuses to go, the world should withdraw their recognition of him as the president of Russia because he is no longer a fit and proper person for that office. Power intoxicates and absolute power corrupts the unhinged absolutely, and President Vladimir Putin has shown that he is not totally in sync upstairs. 

Russia should be sent back to the cold where they belong and from where the West has been trying to drag them out of. Everything Russia should be boycotted and prohibited from the West, including barring their national airline Aeroflot any landing right in every Western country; boycotting their products, if any.There should be a total embargo placed on every Russian government official from traveling to any Western country and their children, wives, families and dependent relatives in the West should be immediately mass deported back to Russia. 

Put in another way, there should be a total and complete boycott of Russia: economic, social, sports and diplomatic to put unimaginable pressure on President Vladimir Putin and force him to end the war which he unleashed on Ukraine. Let Russia be isolated and left alone in the dark as the uncivilized people who still believe in acute dictatorship and wishfully trying to rewind back the hands of time. Like Dorothy said in Wizard of Oz, we are no longer in Kansas but President Vladimir Putin still thinks that the world is still stuck in 1990's Soviet era, when everyone in Eastern Europe had to be dictated to, clobbered in a union of the unwilling but cowered people, the defunct and never coming back Union of Soviet Socialist Republic.

President Vladimir Putin's Russia must also be made to pay for all the damage which its army is inflicting on Ukraine. They must repair every destroyed building and structure in Ukraine as well as pay compensation for killed Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. The seized Russian assets and money should be commandeered to pay for these costs. Russia should be expelled from the United Nations Organization and other world bodies, such as FIFA, as a means of punishing Russia for what it is doing in Ukraine and making it known to him that his arbitrariness can no longer be tolerated. 

If Russia does not want to conform its actions to modernity, then there is no business having it among the comity of civilized and modern nations. Enough of Putin's madness. President Vladimir Putin must be held accountable for his unprovoked aggression in Ukraine. He has to go; removed from office or in a worse case scenario, eliminated. His hostility to Russia's neighbors and constantly keeping the world scared and guessing what he might do, should no longer be accommodated and must cease forthwith. 

ICHEOKU says President Vladimir Putin's idiotic despotism has gone on for far too long. Like Kenneth Kaunda's Zambia, Russia shall be free, freed of Putin's acute dictatorship. He has gotten away with so much and with the apparent consent and approval of the West. Now is the time to coral the wild bronco and lasso him to order or as a war criminal which he has morphed into. His problem, the Putin Problem, should be finally and permanently solved for good, by engineering his exit from office. #RemovePutinFromPower.
