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.

AALAFIN OF OYO JOINS HIS ANCESTORS: ADIEU HIS ROYAL MAJESTY.

ICHEOKU says he raised a harem, which, relatively speaking, nearly rivaled Biblical King Solomon's in this modern times. He was rich, flamboyant, a fashionista who also bleached his skin and dyed his hair, he had an eye for yellow skinned women and took many of them into concubinage.  

Some of these women were too young for him and some were barely old enough that they could easily pass for his grand daughters. He lavished them with money and in turn ravished them. He was also very powerful and women love men with money and power, and they flocked to him in their numbers, literally begged and auditioned to be taken into his harem as one among many Iyoris or Queens of the palace.  

Any man with power and money always became nectar to the bees and they flocked to him in large numbers. In short, he somewhat purchased many of these women, some of whom were young enough to pass for his granddaughters. But these women did not mind nor cared about the gaping age disparity between him and them. They call it culture and you wonder if a woman were to be the Aalafin whether she would be allowed to take many men as husbands?

These women also did not care that they had to share him with so many other women and they apparently did that with a straight face. What a life they lived in concubinage that even late Princess Diana's anguish that there were three of them in her marriage to Prince Charles did not deter them.

The late Aalafin was an embodiment of power, money, privilege and groin prowess. He was an evidential testimony that women sometimes do not really mind sharing a man with other women provided he provides them their needs, plus more. He was a fashionista who refused to acknowledge that time was doing a number on him as he bleached his skin, dyed his hair and was somewhat indifferent that such a day as this would come when he made his exit from this world. 

Why any person, especially a man his age still dyed his hair is simply vanity defined. He was a boxer growing up and that possibly helped him with his heart health as his sexual exploits with his many wives or more appropriately captured, concubines, was legendary. 

May the soul of the departed Aalafin now rest as the battle for his successor will soon rage on. Possibly too, some of his numerous wives especially those without personal income, will now seek another harem to join for their upkeep. What a life they chose, largely in part for the gold which they dug from him and not necessarily that they were in love with him nor would have  shared him had he been a poor man without power. 

But hey, it is what it is. Life goes on for the living as the king is now abandoned in his lonely, dark and dank cold grave to rot in order to complete his life's cycle. Aalafin of Oyo Lamidi Adeyemi was 83 years and died of old age related infirmities. Adieu His Royal Majesty.
