The likely disavowal in some quarters that this commentator sounds like a sell-out taken under advisement, Icheoku says to President Good(BAD)luck of Nigeria to hurry up and invite the Americans now to rid Nigeria of Boko Haram infestation or forever regret his inaction. It is obvious to any impartial observer that the security agencies in Nigeria have failed to live up to the billing of their offices and have also shameless refused and/or failed to resign as should be expected. Therefore, any similarly challenged president, privileged of some survival skills, would urgently look elsewhere to provide security for both himself and the people under siege; as a vote of no confidence on the local security apparatchik. President Jonathan therefore should immediately proceed to Washington to plead his case for help and assistance from the top-shelf security operatives the world has ever known - the Americans. Icheoku admonishes that no president or head of a family would stand by, hands akimbo, and watch helplessly as some maniacal Muslim terrorists incessantly kill, maim and destroy the citizenry without throwing his best punch forward and forcefully to help stop such wanton destruction of lives and properties. The level of the devastation, alarmingly, makes the president's signature speeches sound too hollow; now is the time to bring out the big sledge hammer and with it give those bastards hell. So President Jonathan, when would your red-line on the sand be deemed to have been crossed or are over one thousand Nigerian lives so far wasted not enough to say enough, never again?
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
DO YOU?.

#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.
