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

DO YOU?.

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

Never get in bed with a woman whose problems are worse than yours. - Chicago PD.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

'The best way to keep peace is to be ready to destroy evil. If you Pearl Harbor me, I Nagasaki you.' - Ted Nugent.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

"Birth is agony. Life is hard. Death is cruel." - Japanese pithy.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


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.

NIGERIA'S THREAT TO CUT TIES WITH AMERICA, VERY SUICIDAL!

Unfortunately those marauders in the Nigerian senate have once again shot themselves on the feet and will surely this time, drag every Nigerian with them into the abyss of suffering irrelevance. Icheoku says, their unguarded utterance that Nigeria will sever diplomatic ties with the United States of America over the December 25, 2009 terrorist attack is very provocative! Instead of taking full responsibility for what happened and pledging to do whatever it takes to fix what is broken, which saw a Northern Nigerian Fulani terrorist Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab wearing a diaper-bomb unto an American airline, in a botched attempt to blow same up and kill hundreds of people, they are busy throwing gasoline into a burning fire? Does it mean that this people are so daft to understand the ramifications of the act of their countryman or are they foolishly trying to sweep what happened under the carpet, treating it as a none issue as with so many other thing in Nigeria?
America which has observed recurring terrorist religious riots in Northern Nigeria, had their own security breached by a Northern Nigerian terrorist on Christmas day December 25 is taking every step necessary to prevent such happenstance in the future; and the offending country is busy huffing and puffing? If only President GW was still in power, may be some marines would have already been air-dropped into Abuja to kick some butts and tell Nigerians how not to produce and harbor a terrorist in their midst? What a bombshell from an unthinking mind and a cholera stricken mouth of Senator Ayogu Eze of Nigeria, supposedly speaking on behalf of the David Mark led Nigerian Senate? Nigerians, say it ain't so that in the present 21st century someone in Nigeria is literally interpreting the biblical tale of David and Goliath and expecting to come up tops in a duel with the only remaining super power in the world, the United States of America? Whoever thought out and spoke this possible diplomatic row is certainly under the influence of something very hallucinatory; which clouded his brain into an unthinking stupidity!
America, which has its hand in virtually every pie in the world and with solid control of the levers of such financial institutions like the World Bank and IMF is being challenged by a country which cannot even feed its citizens? But like they say, Nigeria should beware of what they wish for as they might as well get it; and pray that the hawkish republicans do not force President Barack Obama to accept the thrown gauntlet? Why now for any thinking country, at a time when all nerves are frayed and America is still hurting with the experience of December 25, 2009 tragedy when a sharia Northern Nigerian Fulani terrorist nearly blew up their airplane with several hundreds of passengers and 11 crew, mainly Americans returning home for the holidays, and in their own Detroit? Instead of apologising and asking for forgiveness, these band of Nigerians are flexing their lizard-sinews, threatening diplomatic face-off with America for calling them out on an age-long known terrorism in Nigeria which was only exported to America by a sharia Northern Nigerian fanatic from Funtua, Katsina State?
This is the height of senatorial-drunkenness, coming from a rudderless country, tethering on the precipice. It is rather very unfortunate to throw this type of challenge to Americans knowing fully well that they do not shy away from challenges or any face-offs; and at this particular time of heighten tension in the land with Americans asking their president to do something firm about this Christmas day attempted terrorism. Nigeria may eventually be the sacrificial lamb on this current alter of anti-terrorism effort in America, except something is done fast by whoever is in charge in Nigeria to numb the drawn-dagger of the Nigerian senate and douse the said provocative utterance immediately. Admitted that Nigeria's President Umaru Yar'Adua is MIA sequestrated in an undisclosed location somewhere in the Arabian peninsula, someone of some authority should disavow the offensive statement as not the government's position, period! If it means sending Ojo Maduekwe and crew to Washington for damage control, so be it but this provocation must be laid to rest without further delay. Nigeria should also be warned that in any ensuing fight between her and America, that Britain, France, Italy, Russia and China will not side with them; and would rather stay neutral, than antagonize America. Nigeria, it is your responsibility to pick up the mop and clean your mess otherwise, let us watch and see where your thoughtless threat will lead everyone; but be assured that Nigeria stands to loose most, should any diplomatic row ensue.
