ICHEOKU says regrettably the same European nations and the United Kingdom as well as the papacy in Rome, which excoriated then President Donald John Trump for trying to secure the United States southern border from illegal immigration gone berserk, are doing exactly the same thing now and like McDonald's, lovin it. It appears that they suddenly developed amnesia and have so soon forgotten their stand then that 'migrants are fleeing from inhumane conditions from their home countries and should be given uninhibited admission into countries where they seek asylum/refuge.' They preached the gospel of good neighborliness and emphasized that the Biblical Good Samaritan story covers such migrants; and that America must throw open its southern border to let every migrant who showed up into America, tens of thousands of them that was.
So what changed with the migrants in Europe and UK, or are they not similarly fleeing from bad situations in their home countries from where they took flight? Are there not women and children among them; and why is the marching order given to President Donald John Trump to admit all those southern border migrants not applicable to Europe and the United Kingdom? Why are their barriers everywhere in Europe preventing migrants from coming in? From Poland/Belarus border to the Sicilian Mediterranean Sea border with North Africa particularly Libya, to the strait between Spain and Morocco and now the English Channel between Northern France Calais and Southern England Dover.
Thousands of migrants have perished on these treacherous journeys to find succor in Europe and the United Kingdom in the Mediterranean Sea, the Sahara desert and now the English Channel as they try to cross the choppy waters in makeshift dinghy inflatables. Then add the many who have frozen to death in the Belarus/Polish border because of mean hearted European leaders who have refused to show compassion to these immigrants who are only seeking a better life in Europe. The fact that these leaders were not moved by the so many women and children suffering through this hardship is sufficient to brand them as heartless and very uncaring leaders who have little to no regard for human life and dignity.
If they like they can blame human traffickers all they want but the buck stops with them to ensure that those migrants do not perish as a result of their inhuman border policing, which goes against all that they preached to President Donald John Trump. It was heart rending watching those women and children being teargassed and vicious dogs set upon them at the Poland border; and cold water jets sprayed on them in this very harsh cold winter. If that is not the height of callousness, then what else so qualifies? Yet these Europeans and British people pretend to care about human-beings and the rights of immigrants fleeing degradation, but they show a bad example. They are a set of hypocrites who preached to President Donald John Trump on what to do, but refused to live by their own example.
Even the political pope in the Vatican seems to have stopped watching the news lately as nobody has heard from him preaching the gospel of free migration, at least not any more and not into his European hosts countries. Reconcile his present taciturn to the barrage of preaching he made when President Donald John Trump was trying to get a handle over the immigration run amok at America's southern border. Angela Merkel too as well as Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron are all tepid at best with their response and have been dwelling on condemning human traffickers instead of opening their borders to allow these desperate immigrants in.
If these Europeans and British people are as caring as they often times pretend and pass-off to be, what stops them from launching a flotilla of small boats into the English Channel and the Mediterranean Sea to patrol the waters and rescue stranded migrants before they meet their watery deaths. What stops them from launching an immigration Marshal Plan sort of, to admit millions of migrants into Europe and the United Kingdom. If Germany alone could absorb one million migrants, why can't the rest of Europe and the United Kingdom at least absorb as many too.
A matter made more touchy because many of these migrants seeking refuge in Europe and the United Kingdom are victims of colonization as their countries were pillaged by the same European and British colonizers, who used these countries natural resources to develop and build back better Europe and Britain. Now the deprived and denied peoples of these former colonies are desperately seeking to benefit from these countries which their resources built, but the same colonial exploiters are having none of it and are ruthlessly working to prevent these migrants from berthing in their countries.
ICHEOKU says is not an advocate of a limitless or open border immigration, but truth be told, those migrants coming from formerly colonized countries deserve to be allowed into countries which colonized them and exploited their resources. In fact they should enjoy automatic immigration visas when seeking to relocate to their colonial master's countries. It should be a beneficial consequence of the man's inhumanity to fellow man treatment meted out to these former colonies by their heartless and ruthlessly efficient colonial exploiters. Then add the imperialistic political/military adventurism in some of these countries which completely decimated their hitherto existing political and social and economic structures and left these migrants destitute and despondent, forcing them to migrate.
It is a sad commentary watching what is going on in Europe and the United Kingdom today on how they are very hostile to migrants seeking refuge therein. Why set vicious dogs on migrants or spray them with cold water jets in the middle of harsh winter or even tear gas them. What crime did these migrants commit by seeking a better life in Europe that they should be treated so meanly; or did Europeans not once seek refuge from their own despondency in the past. Ireland at one point nearly emptied out due to crop (potatoes) failure; and even as recently as 2008 due to crashed housing market. How did Europe survive after the world war if not largely in part through migration of her citizens to other places. Now they do not want citizens of other countries, facing similar excruciating circumstances, to find solace in Europe and the United Kingdom.
Europe and the United Kingdom have enough geographical territorial space to grow their population to over one billion people. They are bigger than India in land mass and almost as nearly as big as China and therefore have enough room to accommodate millions of migrants and use the opportunity to also grow their human capital. They can also provide jobs for all of these immigrants by simply bringing back home the thousands of outsourced jobs overseas in China and Asia; and that way help to grow their economy back into reckoning once more.
But their greatest fear is losing their white majority as a people, hence all the fuss about human traffickers bringing too many migrants to their shores and borders. Let the truth be told, they somehow deserve the hand which the immigration crisis have dealt them and they should accept their responsibility for it; and then figure out a more sensible way to accommodate those migrants. But until then, the blood of the thousands of migrants drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, dying from dehydration in the Sahara desert as well as the current killer English Channel, rests on the heads of Europe and the United Kingdom.
They destroyed these migrants' countries and now wont allow them, victims of their nefarious activities, a safe passage into their own countries. It is not right and it is condemnable as immigrants do not deserve to drown just for seeking a better life elsewhere. If according to these trans Atlantic fellas, allowing as many immigrants as amassed at America's southern border is ok for America, doing exactly the same on their own borders, land and sea, should equally be ok for them. End the killing of migrants in Europe and the United Kingdom and do it now. May the souls of the 27 migrants, latest drowning victims in the English Channel, now rest.

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.
