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

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.

9/11 ATTACKS: WE SHALL FOREVER REMEMBER.

ICHEOKU says as yet another year rolled by, like birthdays, we remember the horrors that was visited on America by evil Islamist terrorists from Saudi Arabia on the orders of  Osama Bin Laden. It was on the eleventh day, of the ninth month, at the hour of eight forty five in the morning, in 2001, that Americans woke up to a nightmare which played out on their television, as they watched planes flying into buildings and destroying them. A shocked nation  and the world at large, saw up close, how evil, some religious fanatics could be and that image is forever permanently ingrained in our memory. 

Instead of the customary firing off of missiles from fighter planes, commercial planes themselves were used in lieu of missiles, to attack America's important institutions. Targeted and struck were the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and one other intended target, which did not come to fruition because Americans on board Flight 93, with a battle cry of "Let's roll", decided to preempt the attack by wrestling the hijackers for the control of the plane and successfully crashed it in Shanksville Pennsylvania. What a group of heroes and heroines those passengers were that saved more American from losing their lives, as well as another national landmark from going into ruins.

It was traumatic for everyone and with it, America lost its innocence and the confidence that the two oceans were enough to protect it from foreign aggression. But 18 years later, Americans are still fighting in defense of their freedom from this lunatic fringed Islamists terrorism and recording great successes as they go. As a result, Osama Bin Laden is today sleeping with the fishes somewhere in the Indian ocean, thousands of terrorists have been dispatched to go meet their 70 virgins; and for America's three thousand murdered, many of their own have also since been dispatched to eternity. America is on top of the game, dictating how things goes, moving forward and winning bigly. 

Those terrorists however, achieved some level of successes as they permanently defaced the Manhattan skyline as there is no more a towering Twin Towers standing imposingly therein the horizon. They also caused to be instituted the "stripe and search" that travelers go through in our airports till today; in addition to the hyper vigilance pervading the nation. And for those who actually lived the experience, the trauma is permanently etched in their brain and will stay with them until the end of their time. So, to Congresswoman Ilha Omar, 'some people did not just do something', Islamists terrorists brought war to America and America is answering the challenge. We shall never forget; we shall never falter or flounder, and yes, America shall never turn tail or shy away from the defense of their freedom. America strong, will forever endure.
