ICHEOKU says despite the hardship and still obstinately unyielding coronavirus disease which is still taking much toll on Americans, with as many as nearly two thousand American people still dying each day as a result, there is still some room to be thankful. At least, for life and the fact that we were not part of the nearly eight hundred thousand Americans who have so far already perished in the pandemic.
The ravaging inflation is also hovering over this year's thanksgiving like an unwanted eerie fog and will definitely take some shine out of it. There are many people who wanted to travel to go be with family and friends during this thanksgiving but who cannot afford the cost of gasoline required to make the trip. Then add their unimproved economic situation coming out of the pandemic lockdown and you find a perfect storm of unhappiness.
Millions of American people are still hurting financially, economically, politically, socially and of course from the defiant coronavirus disease. But we have to be stoical about the situation and find a way to still count our blessings and be thankful that we are still here; exactly one month to Christmas.
Happy thanksgiving celebration to you all out there; and please remember not to binge too much, because if you pack the pounds be prepared to pound them off. Also remember the many people who are less fortunate and who have no capacity nor ability to put food on their own thanksgiving tables under the Joe Biden woke economy which is strangulating America in so many ways. It is a mixed blessing for so many, so count yourself lucky if you are in the clear.

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.
