So, Mr Walrus should have respectfully maintained a dignified silence as he packed his personal belongings out of the Office of the National Security Adviser to the president and not become just another disgruntled former employee who is lashing out and trying to "put the records straight", as nobody is interested in the journey traveled since the destination is clearer definitive. As is with such cases of failed romance, each party always tries to paint the picture in their best light; but the bottom line is clear, the man on top stays and the squealing minion is out.
The sequence of events is therefore irrelevant as the result speaks for itself and voluminously:- JOHN BOLTON, OUSTED. The semantics and terminology deployed to codify what happened won't a thing change as John Bolton is no longer the National Security Adviser to the president, period. John Bolton is a hawk and deeply entrenched in the Washington DC's Military Industrial Complex, war profiteers, who always force wars on presidents so that they can make billions of dollars through military contracting. But they met their match in President Donald John Trump, a man of peace, a dove, who had promised Americans that there will be no more wars under his watch and is following through on that promise. A man who keeps his promises and has become a promise keeper and who is determined to fight off these war mongers and has now fired their agent in the White House.
ICHEOKU says imagine how many wars John Bolton would have drawn Americans into, if not for a president who is tough and courageous and has swathed every move, ploy and plot hatched by John Bolton to force his hand into war. From Iraq to Afghanistan and Syria and you wonder why he does not want America to end all the endless wars. Then add Iran, North Korea, China and even Russia, which if John Bolton had his way, America would have been simultaneously waging multilateral wars right at this very minute. Meanwhile, none of John Bolton's children, if he has any child, is in the military fighting; yet he wants other peoples children, who bravely enlisted to defend America, to continue to die in needless and endless wars throughout the world, so that his defense contractors buddies can continue feeding fat on American resources.
Imagine too the progress which America could have made on nearly all these flash points if only they had engaged some of these adversarial countries in round table discussions. But John Bolton said no, as his loyalty lies with his friends in the Military Industrial Complex and to the chagrin of a man of peace, the president who appointed him National Security Adviser and woke up to the fact that he has had it with John Bolton and had to let him go. Whether fired or resigned, the most important thing is that for the sake of giving peace a chance, John Bolton was relieved of his duties at the White House and when he wakes up tomorrow will not be entering the White House to occupy his desk as the National Security Adviser to the president.

Now, let Americans watch and see how progress will be made on all the simmering fronts, since the sword of Damocles which has been hovering over the necks of these "enemies of America" has been removed. ICHEOKU says no man, especially a leader, negotiates under the duress of either you take what is on the table or we will unleash the awesome fearsome might of the United States military on your country. So, to all peace loving peoples of the world, John Bolton's offload is a good riddance; admitted the hawks and war mongering war profiteers of America will be brooding their loss on an ally inside the inner sanctum of the White House. Mr Walrus, ICHEOKU says so long and enjoy your next appointment at fake news CNN.

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.
