The eighty (85) years old, longest serving Republican in the Senate, who came into politics long before Alaska became part of the Union as a state, has been ousted; thanks to a working democracy! Hurrah to democratic ideals where the wishes of the people are respected! Senator Ted Stevens, the convicted felon, was defeated by Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich by 146,286, or 47.56 percent, to Stevens' 143,912, or 46.76 percent. This is a double-whammy for Ted who in addition to his federal conviction for lying under oath, has now lost the only thing he has known for most of his life - being a US Senator from Alaska! It will never be the same for Alaskan wild politics without the colossus of Alaska, Uncle Ted Stevens! So long Ted! Ted Stevens turned 85 last Sunday, November 16th, 2008 and baring any success with his conviction appeal, will be spending the rest of his golden years in Uncle Sam's big house!

TED STEVENS, OUSTED!

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.
