KIM DIVORCING KANYE: ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD CONTRAPTION BITES THE DUST.

ICHEOKU says the shocking thing about the announced divorce filing, if any, is that their union even lasted this long without any major drama or salacious scandal whatsoever. It was a faulty union at best, which arose from infatuation based on sheer shallowness rather than on real solid foundation that would have ensured an everlasting love. She was restless in marriage and went through a few successively; from Damon Thomas, to Chris Humphries then to jumping on the Kanye West marriage train which they rode for nearly seven years; a life time for many marriages especially a Hollywood marriage.  

ICHEOKU says if only Kanye West had listened to his bosom friend Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce, may be he would have saved himself the heartache of marrying a woman who is so invested in her family that she would rather Kanye became a subsumed member of the Kardashians clan than forge their own independent West family, separated from the Kardashians. So, without mincing words, it is obvious that control was an issue which plagued the marriage as Kim is the type of woman who does not do what she does not want to do and will not yield to anybody's preferred interest. Kanye West also has a strong will, thus their union ensured that two captains were placed on the same deck and navigating the same ship which led to it now running aground. 

ICHEOKU says had Kanye's mother been alive she would not have approved of their union. But unfortunately, her sudden death devastated Kanye so much that his behavior raptured into the erratic fella which he turned into and it largely influenced his decision to jump the shark and got entangled in the Kardashian's family web. A matter not helped by his soon to be former mother in-law who did not provide him with the motherhood comfort nor filled the mother vacuum which was created in his life by the death of his mother. But instead, the Kardashian matriarch is still playing the game of spotlight chasing and competing fiercely with other members of the clan for the front row seat and not taking a back seat and managing the family as would any unselfish mother. 

So the absence of Kanye West's mother was very much an issue as there was no mother to which he can easily run to for advise and counsel whenever an issue arose that bothered him about his martial life. ICHEOKU is not saying that he is not old enough to manage his life, but he was not matured nor prepared enough when he lost his mother and it haunts him till date. He still nurses the pain of his mother's sudden exit as they were very close and he relied on her for so many things, especially life advise; which is not the strongest suit of his mother in-law who is fiercely competitive herself. A good mother would have seen and listened to his cry for help on time and did the needful to properly equip him on how to handle family business; ditto Kim.

ICHEOKU is even surprised that Kanye West withstood the situation as long as he did, being always outnumbered. So many men would have since signed off and ran away but he persevered probably because he was afraid of not having a family to call his own. Anyway, ICHEOKU wishes both of them the best of luck and pray that they will learn to live without each  other and eventually find someone they could be at ease and at home with. Their values definitely significantly changed and maintaining two homes and different lifestyles seems no longer an option. Now they want to move on and go their separate ways and an amicable divorce is the best way to do it. They have commenced the process and hopefully it will be quickly settled so that the parties can be free and at rest independent of one another.
