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.

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

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.

ARCHIE EVERSOLE: 'WE READY' RAPPER SHOT AND KILLED BY HIS OWN BROTHER.

ICHEOKU says when the Bible story of Cain and Abel was told, many people wondered how a brother could possibly kill his own brother. Although God summarily punished Cain for killing Abel by making him a fugitive and a vagabond, it did not serve as the deterrent which God had intended as brothers are still killing their brothers to this day. Cain becoming a mentally challenged hobo did not stop this hideous from happening. So, why does it happen and what on earth would drive a brother into committing such a hideous crime of killing his own brother?

Jealousy, hatred and uncontrolled anger are some of the leading factors that cause brothers to sometimes kill their own brothers. ICHEOKU recalls an incident many moons long ago when a brother in the heat of an impassioned argument with his brother over their father's proposed property settlement while he was still alive, took a screwdriver and stabbed his brother to death. There was also another incident when a brother from a polygamous family who had traveled home from his America base for his father's funeral was killed by his step brother before the funeral of their father even took place over some family dispute. 

Such killings do happen with some degree of frequency that it could easily pass for a regularly occurring phenomena for which many people, including this writer, are no longer too aghast by such development. Therefore, this article is not necessarily to harpoon the fella in Atlanta who popped his own rapper brother, but to highlight the case as another example of such incidents. Instead of celebrating the success of his brother whose hit music "We Ready" became a somewhat anthem for Atlanta sports clubs, he became envious, jealous and hateful and plotted for his brother's demise; and when the opportunity presented itself, he shot and killed him.

Now his brother is dead and buried and rotten in his grave. He died in his hands through well placed gunshots on the temple. He has been arrested and charged with his murder, bail denied and and sitting in jail. Upon conviction, he will surely get a very long prison sentence handed to him by the jury  in Atlanta. Then you ask yourself, what did he end up achieving by allowing his demon of envy to take hold of him, killing his brother in the process. It is sad that it happened and even sadder that a family have now lost two young men of their family, one to gun violence and the other to the justice prison system. 

ICHEOKU says was the fate which befell both brothers avoidable? Yes, you bet they were. But the devil, even though he is a liar, still controls a lot of stuff and has again made an example out of this evil brother. Shame on the killer-brother whose name ICHEOKU will not glorify here by mentioning it. Although Archie Eversole sang 'We Ready', it sure looks like he was not himself ready to go when his demonic brother forcibly dispatched him to the world beyond through gun violence. May the soul of Archie Eversole now rest. Adieu Mr We Ready. #SayNoToGunViolence.
