ICHEOKU says the Supreme Court of the great State of Pennsylvania has finally stepped in to undo a wrong and do the right thing, for a man who was treated unfairly by a limelight-seeking and fame-obsessed prosecutor, who discarded an earlier agreement that was reached by his predecessor with Bill Cosby over his 5th Amendment rights. Everybody understands that basic constitutional right which guarantees protection against self incrimination.
Bill Cosby also understood this and only cooperated with the former prosecutor based on their agreement that his inalienable right against self incrimination was sacrosanct; and that he will not be prosecuted based on anything which he might say, reveal or "admit" in the civil deposition. It was signed, sealed and delivered upon which Bill Cosby agreed to testify and in the process, made statements which he would otherwise not have made and which the succeeding prosecutor then used to prosecute him, resulting in his conviction and sentence of ten years imprisonment.
Many unbiased minds had called his conviction for what it was, an act to destroy Bill Cosby's image at whatever cost. A government is a continuity and agreements reached by a previous prosecutor is and should remain binding on the successor. Good enough the wise Justices have intervened to end the absurdity and restored faith in dealings between citizens and the government, including reestablishing the inviolability of contracts and that contracts must be respected. It was the right thing to do in order to encourage citizens to enter contracts with government, knowing that it will be respected and honored.
ICHEOKU says is thankful that Bill Cosby did not die in prison as his traducers wanted and wished for. At 83 years old, he should be enjoying his eclipsing golden years on earth peacefully, in the quiet comforts of his home surrounded by those who love him dearly, including his wife of so many years. He does not belong in the prison nor does the six by ten feet prison cell a desirable abode for him, especially for a man who has impacted so many lives and bequeathed so much kindness on a lot of people. He worked for his good life and should enjoy it in peace.
It is a good day in America when justice is served right and the overturn of Bill Cosby's conviction and release from prison, after serving three out of the ten years sentence, is one such justice served right. ICHEOKU says thanks to the Justices of Pennsylvania State Supreme Court for correcting the injustice done to Bill Cosby. Welcome home Bill Cosby, the all time father of America and he remains same to a lot of American people, regardless of the attempted lynching through the justice system that was used to tarnish his name and destroy his character. Kudos too to his appellate attorneys for their tenacity which birthed this verdict. It is well.

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.
