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.

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.

719,933 COVID-19 DEATHS IN AMERICA: WHY IS THE VIRUS MORE VIRULENT IN AMERICA?

ICHEOKU says coronavirus death toll in America has crossed 700,000 and speedily inching close to one million. Thousands more are still dying from the scourge in America today when nearly the rest of the world have moved on from the virus and back to living their normal, pre coronavirus, life. It is equally noteworthy that none of these other countries suffered as many loss of lives as America suffered and still suffering; and despite vaccinations, many people are still dying from the coronavirus in America. So, what went wrong with America's handling of the coronavirus and why is America still being pummeled by it? Why is the death toll in America far more worse than it is in the rest of the countries, including the reputedly, country of origin and purveyor of the coronavirus, China.  

Why, despite the fabled medical and technological sciences advancement of America were so many American people still lost and are still being lost to the coronavirus disease.  What exactly went wrong in America's healthcare system that brought about such a gory outcome. Why did more American people die from the coronavirus than any other people on the face of earth including in less developed countries. Is it possible that Americans were infected with a different strand of the coronavirus than the type which the rest of the world were infected with? Is it possible too that the infection rate and mortality had to do with our body type and the food we eat or our lifestyle? What caused the very high mortality and why did more Americans die and still dying because of the virus.

Could it be that our medical and hospital management is afterall not the best or as efficient as they are hyped to be; or simply that medical staff got overwhelmed by the number of the dying that they became numb to death and in the process to get it over with, no longer cared much about who lived or died. Did business considerations come into play in the thinking of how to manage the pandemic that infected people did not receive optimal care, leading to their deaths. Did such profit over care consideration impact the quality of care that were being administered that it led to such a high number of fatalities. Why did what worked in other countries not work in America, in regards to prevention and care that kept their death rates very low?

It is a very difficult thing to process, the fact that more people died from the coronavirus pandemic in America and are still dying from it than in any other country, especially for a country that prides itself as supposedly the premier country on earth. Not even third world countries fared this bad and no other advanced country suffered a fate close to what America found itself with and still going through with. America is the third most populous country in the world yet it suffered more coronavirus deaths than the first and second most populous countries, China and India, put together. So, why the wide disparity or is there something peculiar in our DNA that made us to be more susceptible to the disease than the rest of the world. 

It is not enough to mention that over seven hundred Americans have died so far or just to mourn and pray for them; there is a need to investigate the medical anomaly which manifests in this huge numbers and unravel the mystery behind it. It is inexplicable that this many Americans succumbed to the virus and so many people in America as well as the rest of the world similarly share in this concern, wondering why the almighty America could not arrest the scourge and prevent its people from being deleted by it in so large numbers. The country of can do where nothing is impossible eventually found itself on bended knees, being clobbered by the coronavirus when the rest of the world did not suffer nearly the same level of fatalities. 

Something does not feel right about the high death toll and needs a digging deep into, to find out why. Not even the change of presidents effected anything with 319,933 deaths since President Joe Biden took office. To the dead and dying, may the good Lord give them rest. To those afflicted and suffering, we decree speedy recovery on them. To the unvaccinated, please get your shots and help in your little way to help keep the scourge under control. As we continue to explore what possibly went wrong that cost this many lives, 719,933 Americans dead; and how to keep everybody safe and alive, pharmaceutical companies should double their effort at finding a permanent panacea for the virus, either a vaccine or a drug that actually works, which will finally put an end to the scourge. It is sad.
