ICHEOKU says Vladimir Putinya is once again making threats and threatening world peace. Instead of reining in his friend and fellow despot Bashir Assad from using chemical weapons on Syrian citizens, he is busy with issuing threats. Query: does it mean that Vladimir Putin enjoys having those little innocent children of Syria gassed or likes watching them twitch as they trail off to their agonizing painful deaths. Whatever it is, it is not good and it does not look good not after the horrific experience that was the holocaust.
His latest threat, that there will be “International chaos” should another missile strikes be launched on Syria is not only inflammatory but somewhat encouraging the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian despot Bashir Assad. Why wait to unleash international chaos when he could have preempted it by asking Syria to stop using chemical weapons on her citizens. The missile strikes are predicated on Syria using chemical weapons and so is a problem with a solution. Prevention is always better than cure, so if Vladimir Putin does not want to see Syria bombed again, he should tell his friend Bashir Assad not to gas those little innocent children of Syria again, problem solved. Except of course, Putin has other scores he wants to settle and is just looking for an excuse to unleash mayhem on the world. It is such an easy problem to solve; but he seems not to get it or rather just does not want to resolve it but to remain a pain in the butt of the West, while making alliances with thuggish rogue leaders.
What a peaceful place the world would otherwise be if only Russia's Putin would agree to become a player for global good and play by the rule. But no, he is always at the opposite end and sometimes for no germane reason other than just for the heck of it. Anyway, when next Putin allows Bashir Assad to gas his people, the West, as promised, will again respond with missile strikes on Syria and thereafter he can unleash his promised international chaos and let us see how it will end. This is an avoidable problem that has a simple solution, restrain Bashir Assad from his barbaric use of banned chemical weapons on his people; but unfortunately, Putin does not appear or seem interested in peacefully resolving the issue. Rather, he is threatening world peace, forgetting that Russia is also part of the world and will not be immune from whatever he decides to unleash on the world. But hopefully, the world will not have to see whatever he has planned; believing that common sense will eventually prevail over him and Kremlin will do its job of reining in Bashir Assad. What a world fast approaching a destructive confrontation which is otherwise avoidable.

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.
