ICHEOKU says the Catholic Church again suffered yet another setback in its sexual abuse scandal by its clergy, which is gradually degenerating into a plague, as its highest ranking clergy in Australia and former Treasurer of the church in the Vatican, Cardinal George Pell, was convicted for sexually molesting two minors. He now faces a long prison sentence and possible defrocking by the pope and excommunication by the Catholic Church. What a shame.
When you think you have heard the last of it, the scandal which came to the shore over a decade ago has steadily continued to claim victims from the church; and has thus so degraded the church in its piety that it is going to take a miracle for the church to recover fully from its former self.
But the greatest tragedy of it all is the pretentiousness of these men in cassock, whose claim to celibacy has now been totally debunked; a matter made worse because they were raping and sexually molesting little alter boys. ICHEOKU says the panacea is for the church to deregulate its anti marriage rule and allow those clergies who want to marry to marry; while those who want to keep lovers should also have the freedom to love accordingly. There is no contradictions in serving God and also being human with flesh and blood.
ICHEOKU strongly believes that sexual activities, including molestation, is generally wide spread among the clergy in the church; only that some societies frown against going up against men and women of "God"; otherwise many more would have been outed. Anyway, ICHEOKU says is not here to pass judgment on the church or its clergy; and will neither on Cardinal George Pell, but maintains that since he did the crime, he should also do the time. What a pedophile.

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.
