ICHEOKU says the main reason politicians fight for power is to be in control of the decisions-making process of their society. They want to be in charge of this authority to enable them tailor and influence the direction of any given society and in this case, the American society. Emotional outbursts are not welcome in politics, nor are they accommodated in the struggle for political power.
Politics is a ruthless dirty game which has been described severally as war where bullets are substituted for words. It is not for the fainthearted or people with proven empathy as the objective is to wield authority over the society. It is devoid of sympathy, notwithstanding its periodic display just to confuse and beguile the gullible public. Were politics an emotional thing, the president would have since given up the presidency for the crying whiny Hillary Clinton to step in, but it is not so, never was and never will.
Therefore the gift of RBG's departure from the Supreme Court must be accepted as a sizzling golden gift from On High. The president must proceed full steam to nominate and confirm RBG's successor without any further ado, care or delay because it is the right thing to do and were it the Democrats that are similarly gifted, they would do the same in a whiff. They impeached the president just for a mere innocent telephone call in order to gain some political advantage and would not have batted an eyelid in choosing RBG's successor immediately, faced with the same circumstances.
ICHEOKU says appointing a Supreme Court Justice is also a political power play and the president must exercise it on behalf of the American people who elected him. They desired a conservative Supreme Court and the opportunity to grant them their wish just availed thereby tying the president's hands. He has no choice in the matter as he is president to serve American people. The vacancy happened now under his government for a reason and the season should be exploited maximally in the interest of the reason which is to consolidate the conservatives hold of the Supreme Court, case closed.

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.
