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

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.

R. KELLY: BLOWS OFF TOP GASKET ON GAYLE KING INTERVIEW.

ICHEOKU says he succeeded in furthering the stereotyping of American black male as angry; the default remark of white people who often refer to the black American male as an angry black man. But then you ask yourself, who wouldn't be enraged if wrongly accused of committing crimes which could translate to your spending the rest of your life behind bars. So Robert Kelly reacted as anyone forced in his pickle would; and until you are a victim of demeaning falsehood, you never can really appreciate the impact nor understand what made R Kelly to lose his center.

It was quite a moment of awe, watching R Kelly stand up and pour his hearts out, amidst sobs, while protesting his wrongful accusation during his interview with Gayle King. It was akin to watching Baby Boy, Tyrese Gibson, who similarly once broke down on national television because his baby mama would not let him see his daughter. Now, it was R Kelly's turn to put on his own show, of a man being wrongly accused of, among other things, kidnapping and statutorily rape of underage girls. He did what he had to do to make his case of innocence and American people should understand that it is possible that he is a victim of a society which builds people up and takes gleeful pleasure in bringing them down as well. R Kelly is not the first nor will he be the last time, some high profile person, the rich and famous American, was targeted and marked for elimination, the hard thud pull down. 

Michael Jackson did not survive his own persecution and spiraled down from it until he finally killed himself with drug overdose. Mike Tyson also did not survive his own accusation of rape by Desiree Washington and it ruined him, admitted he is still hanging in there. Tiger Woods shares in the same fate of bringing him down syndrome,  admitted his was somewhat self inflicted and proved. But one thing is clear, American people will not hesitate to drop you like a hot potato once you give them reason to make a u-turn on you, meteorically going from their love to hate of anyone. ICHEOKU says but with R Kelly's case, nobody really understands the beef here since the two girls, now young ladies, who actually triggered his current tribulation, have repeatedly defended him, proclaiming his innocence and affirming that they are with him out of their freewill volition. 

These ladies, at 21 years old, are  fully grown women and of age of consent and capable of making their own decisions, including who to be with. So, why then is Mr Kelly being persecuted based on allegations by some disgruntled former flings, who kept mum for this long, only to now suddenly suffice to allege what, aware that so many people have been lynched based on false testimonies. Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ was not spared of this false testimony and he was eventually executed as a result. But it is a Me-Too crazy time in American sociology and any inkling of a man abusing women is treated as a truism and without giving any benefit of the doubt to the accused man. 

It also does not matter to the Lynch mob, that some of the women, who recently bore false witnesses against Justice Brett Kavanaugh, have since recanted their stories of falsehood. Why does the American society not err on the side of caution by seriously questioning the truthfulness of the current traducers of R Kelly and giving reasonable doubt benefit to Mr Kelly. It is a dangerous trend and a real mortal fear in present day American society that a woman merely saying it is so, makes it automatically so. It is deja vu 1600s and hello Salem Witch trials reincarnated in America. It is regrettable and it is condemnable and ICHEOKU hereby condemns the rush to judgment and lynching of people, whose only crime is that some vengeful and vengeance seeking, sexless and sex starved, angry feminists want to take them down. 

Consent should be ordinarily dispositive in this matter and operate to absolve R Kelly of any wrong doing, taking into consideration the statements issued by the two sisters that their parents are shakedown artists seeking to obtain a pot of gold from the R&B singer by a blackmail. But ICHEOKU is not necessarily holding brief for R Kelly, only that precedents abound that suggest that some women often times compose stories and some of these women probably fall into such group; all geared in search of the proverbial ticket to stardom and riches. But hey, ICHEOKU will defer to the authorities and hopefully R Kelly will be let go, found not guilty of these allegations. However, if he did the crime, he should be held accountable and made to do the time. But how what he did is any different from what Hugh Hefner did, is still debatable; admitted it would now seem that  black males in America are not allowed such Hefner's privilege of cavorting with so many young beauties.
