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.

SACRIFICING UKRAINE WILL NOT PLACATE PUTIN: THE WEST SHOULD ENTER THE WAR NOW.

ICHEOKU says the West might be thinking that once President Vladimir Putin takes Ukraine that he will be pacified into contentment and abandon his current military expedition in Eastern Europe. But the West is mistaken because when the Russian strongman is done with Ukraine, he will direct his "fired up" army to head West and replicate what they did in Ukraine in all the other former Soviet countries. The unleashed Russian red army is not returning back to Russia until a new Berlin Wall is erected in Germany.

He had the effrontery to invade Ukraine because he is convinced that the West has lost the appetite for fighting wars due to their new woke-centric political-cultural disposition. It is an opportunity which he waited for a long time and having assessed the too level-headedness of the present crop of leaders in the West, decided to strike now while his iron is still hot. He will use the opportunity, enhanced by the apparent lack of interest in the West for war, to take everything back: all the former Soviet countries and he will expend the entire Russian military force, if need be, to accomplish the objective. 

Unless the West is counting on taking on a "tired and war-weary" Russian military by the time President Vladimir Putin shifts his focus on NATO countries, it is better for the West to enter the fray now that Ukraine has not yet fallen. Ukraine is the biggest and strongest of these former Soviet countries and if it falls, other smaller ones will be a mere walkover for the rumbling Russian war machine, with or without NATO resistance. The Russian Red Army is on the march, on a mission to recover Soviet territories and having been unleashed, will continue rumbling until they accomplish all their given military objectives or are violently stopped and humiliated in defeat.

It is regrettable that the West which prides itself as defender of the bullied and protector of values dear to the West, including democracy, is still pussyfooting around and second-guessing itself about sending troops into Ukraine. A little country is being pounded into the ground by Russia and the West is hedging whether to assist the little country defend itself from the unprovoked and premeditated, atrocious, ferocious and scorch-earth bombardment, being wrought on them by Russia. It is a common saying that when your brother is in trouble, you render assistance or is the West saying that Ukraine is not their brother or that Ukraine is not white enough to be deserving of such help. 

All the weapons and equipment belatedly being sent to Ukraine by the West will amount to nothing if Ukraine falls. All the resistance being shown by Ukraine will also amount to nothing should President Volodymyr Zelensky unfortunately lose his life. He is the indisputable arrowhead and global face of the resistance, and the reason Ukrainian people are giving it their all and trying everything possible to defend their country. They have held the Russian invaders off for over one week and have proved themselves a worthy adversary to the Russians. It is about time the West acknowledged their great peril and sent in troops to help them.

The West will have on their hand the blood of Ukrainians being slaughtered and slashed to pieces by Russian bombs and shrapnels. The West will also share in the blame for all the destruction which Russia is levying on Ukraine, in their attempt to wipe out all the beautiful structures dotting the landscape of Ukraine. What cogent excuse will the West give for not helping Ukraine, watching Ukraine pounded into smithereens despite putting up a stellar resistance and eventually falling? The "Ukraine is not a member of NATO" excuse is no longer germane nor acceptable; at worst, the West should make an exception for Ukraine based on humanitarian grounds in order to prevent further carnage and loss of human lives.

Will President Vladimir Putin go scot-free or be put in handcuffs as a war criminal? Will the world ever forgive him for the wanton destruction he is causing in Ukraine? Will the world still deal with him when these hostilities finally end? Why has the Russia military not overthrown Putin yet or just put a projectile into his cranium and get the Putin trouble over? Why are Russian generals still tolerating this madness, obeying his unlawful orders to attack, kill, maim and destroy their innocent Ukrainian brothers and neighbors? The West must seize every Russian asset and monetary reserve anywhere found around the world and hold them in trust for the eventual reconstruction and rebuild of a post war Ukraine. 

Ukraine could use more snipers and sabotages and change their war tactic from conventional to a guerrilla hit and run warfare; and incrementally wear the Russian invaders down. Lacing all the vodka in Ukraine with cyanid should also be on the table as such will help reduce the number of those murderous, cold blooded Russians and let their body bags mount. Lastly, no matter the cost, in losses in human and materials, President Vladimir Putin must never be allowed to declare victory in Ukraine and at best, a pyrrhic victory. The experience of the USSR army in Afghanistan should serve the Russian army in Ukraine and let Putin be forced to eat his humble pie as a sore loser. Hopefully, he will die a completely isolated, sad and most loathed man in the world. What a pitiful vermin, a little elf of the Kremlin with Bonaparte syndrome.
