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.

BOKO HARAM, AL-QUEIDA IN NIGERIA, BLOWS UP FORCE HEAQUARTERS!

BOKO HARAM, AL-QUEIDA IN NIGERIA, BLOWS UP FORCE HEAQUARTERS!Icheoku hereby and without any equivocation or mincing of words, call on Nigeria Inspector General of Police Hafiz Ringim to do the honorable thing under the circumstance - fall on his sword. He has failed in his primary duty and responsibility both to the president and the Nigerian people to provide security and protect them from harm and as a result his office let another take. Former Inspector General Ogbonnaya Onovo was dismissed or forced to retire because according to the government of President Goodluck Jonathan, he failed to stop the incessant kidnapping then afflicting the country. Now the current IGP Ringim has failed to stop the Northern Nigeria terrorist organisation, Boko Haram, from continuously maiming and killing innocent Nigerians and destroying properties on a scale never before seen; and should therefore resign or be forced out of service. 

There is simply no other option; especially with the latest brazen attack on the very turf of the IGP, the Nigerian Police Headquarters in Abuja. Icheoku says if this Al-Queida franchise in Northern Nigeria could be so audacious as to take their war of terror to the very doorsteps of the IGP himself - his own force's headquarters, then no Nigerian including President Jonathan is safe from the reach of this terrorist organisation. It therefore will be foolhardy for the government to wait for Boko Haram to assassinate a very prominent top official or inflict a monumental catastrophy before it showed the IGP the exit door in order to make way for a more capable and competent hand to take over the reigns and eradicate this terrorist organisation. Increasingly, it has been shown repeatedly that IGP Hafiz Ringim cannot secure the country, hence there is no business having him still at the helm of the Nigerian police force. He should go or be forced to go; either way, IGP Hafiz Ringim is not the right man for the job and this is the problem with Nigeria where patronage as opposed to competence dictates who gets what appointment. 

Enough is enough President Jonathan - either you lead with the best or just get out of the way for a real man to take the reins. This time calls for President Jonathan to man up and show his resolute-resolve that he is the real Commander in Chief and that every federal government official including the IGP works at his pleasure. Icheoku maintains that all circumstances considered, there is no longer any pleasure for Mr President in keeping IGP Ringim in office as he has failed in his primary responsibility to provide and ensure security for Nigerians and other nationalities living or visiting Nigeria. Ironically, the IGP recently proclaimed that the days of Al-Queida in Northern Nigeria is numbered and in response the same Al-Queida took the war of terror directly to him, at his head-office, to prove that they are not going anywhere soon and by necessary implication seem to suggest that if anyone's days are numbered, it is the IGP's? Icheoku wonders if the IGP is tough enough for the job and has what it really takes to punch back at those madmen who nearly took his headquarters down. Icheoku says if revenge would ever be so good, now is it; and it does not have to wait to be served cold - just as hot as the bombing and NOW!

Unfortunately, Nigeria is fast becoming the Pakistan of Africa in its failure to provide security for the people and properties therein; and the promise of Northern Nigeria Elders Forum to make Nigeria ungovernable should President Jonathan win the election does not help matters either. This makes it highly suggestive that the present apparent near-total security breakdown and anarchy in the country may be somewhat connected or is with the tacit support and approval of some very high-up Northern Nigerian politicians and military officials both retired and serving. Icheoku says President Jonathan must do all he can and should not also be too proud to beg or accept the American government's offer to assist in getting rid of these blood-thirsty mongrels. Admitted Al-Queida in Northern Nigeria learnt from President Jonathan's kiths and kins in the Niger Delta, but they seem to have learnt too much and must be stopped NOW before they plunge the country into another avoidable civil war of all civil wars that might well serve as the last straw. Enough!
