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.

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

#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.

HONDURAS, THE IRONY OF 'DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE CHARTER'?

After reading once again, the American 'Declaration of Independence', we have come to the conclusion that the people and army of Honduras did the right thing by stopping an emerging, prospective despot in their midst! The removal of former president Zelaya was in order and duty bound.
The referenced document stated that 'to secure these ensconced rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Icheoku says, this is exactly what the people and army of Honduras did; they were right in altering or abolishing and stopping their former President Manuel Zelaya from destroying their constitutional government; which action, if allowed would most likely have effected their safety and happiness? This is a man who wanted to prolong his tenure by all means necessary and unconstitutionally, despite the objection of the Supreme court, the attorney general, the army and the people of Honduras? Icheoku says also, that such intended illegal and drastic change of Honduras Constitution by former President Zelaya is not such a 'light and transient causes' for which the declaration of independence forbade rabid change of governments? Constitution is the basic fundamental backbone of any society and anything detrimentally impacting it, is very egregious, for which the people should rise up and defend their manhood! Hondurans did exactly that and should not be penalized by anybody, including governments of the world.The people of Honduras have chosen not to suffer such evil but to do right for themselves by abolishing the form of government intending that evil.

Continuing the Declaration of Independence stated 'but when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government! Icheoku says, again the people of Honduras have answered this call, they rose up to the occasion, exercised their right and duty and threw off such government of President Zelaya. The whole world should encourage them but not despise them.
During last Iranian election, President Barack Obama said it was the internal affairs of the people of Iran to determine their destiny as to who governs them? So Icheoku asks, what changed with the people of Honduras who are now being harangued for taking their own destiny in their hands as well, by saying 'NO' to an emerging despot? If we recall correctly, Panamanian President Noriega was once removed by America so there is nothing wrong in the people of Honduras removing their errant president? Icheoku says nothing is wrong in the action of Tegucigalpa, in rebuffing the attempt to reinstate the deposed despot-in-the-waiting former president and supports them fully. Congratulation Hondurans!
If suspended from the Organization of American States as threatened, Honduras should not panic but take solace in the fact that Cuba survived for over 40 years without its membership, so what? Icheoku says the world should butt-out and let the people of Honduras determine who governs them, instead of waiting to see another Robert Mugabe enthroned in Telgacigalpa? The present row could have been avoided by the new men of power had they, instead of flying the deposed president to exile in Nicaragua, put a bullet in his head? Guinea Bissau and Gambia just did that and heavens have not fallen; perhaps, the Honduras military were disciplined enough not to covet the presidency; but installed a civilian head, the former president of Congress, Mr Roberto Micheletti pictured here right, to midwife the next November election.
Why must Zelaya push forward a referendum on constitutional reform, thinking that he knows more than the Supreme Court, the attorney general and Congress who had all said such action was illegal? Icheoku hates despots with acid-passion and their arrogance rubs us on our very sour side. If the person such despot succeeded was such a despot, how on earth could they ever have had the opportunity to assume power? Zelaya, for tilting the way of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez was becoming a despot in the making but he forgot that Hondurans are not Venezuelans; that the people of Honduras were smarter than that as they nipped his plans in the bud.
Today they have saved their country from becoming a fiefdom of a maniac, just like Venezuelans who are now subjects of 'Emperor' Hugo Chavez! Should they be punished for this proactive measure of protecting their constitution by sending away former President Manuel Zelaya pictured left, to exile? Icheoku says, we don't think so; not in the least!
Instead of penalizing Honduras for their brave action, the world should support them provided an election is called very soon to formalize and legalize the new order. But to impose trade blockades, cut aid, halt joint military operations and recall ambassadors is not productive? Why not bless the people of Honduras nipping the crisis in the bud now, before an over-bloated egomaniac civilian-dictator emerges in Honduras? Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe is enough reason d`eter for the world to back the people who removed a creeping dictator in Honduras. To Hondurans, Icheoku says, BRAVO!
