Eight weeks ago, the Nigeria Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro, promised to publicly name the corrupt Nigerian officials implicated in the gut-wrenching $180 million dollars Halliburton' bribery scandal? IG Mike Okiro had spoken in his capacity as head of an empanelled commission to investigate the bribery scandal? Today June 22, 2009 is the last day in the promised eight weeks period and marks the day of the promised disclosure. Icheoku says, if by the end of work today, no such disclosure is made by the Inspector General of Police in keeping to his promise, then there is no hope for Nigeria? Barring this disclosure, Nigerian officials including this Inspector General of Police Mike Okiro will henceforth be seen as shriveling lying scum-bags, whose words means nothing. Their silence will be interpreted as an effort to cover up the scandal and protect the big guns who were neck-deep in the bribery, including several former heads of state and government, presidents and ministers and legislators. What will this do to the already sullen image of Nigeria but sink it deeper into the pariah state which it is accelerating into. Nigeria deserves better and the world will like to know what became of the anti-corruption effort of the current government? Icheoku therefore calls on President Umaru Yar'Adua to compel the Inspector of Police, Mike Okiro to disclose these bribe-takers in the name of re-branding Nigeria! It is imperative and the right thing to do as nothing less will be satisfactory!

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.
