A popular aphorism has it that those the gods want to kill, he first make them mad; and so it seems with Tehran which apparently does not get it that their cup is almost full. As if they have not provoked the world enough already, their President Ahmadinejad just told the entire mankind to go to hell for all that he cares and that Iran can tough it out alone? Instead of apologizing and atoning for its undiplomatic misbehavior, either tacitly or overtly, of invading yet again another country's embassy in Tehran, it is mouthing off its braggadocio. According to Ahmadinejad, Iran will stick to their revolution's ideology at all cost and it does not matter if the entire universe rose up against them? In his exact own words, Ahmadinejad said, "We will stick to our revolution's principles and values with all our power even if the entire world rise up against us." Icheoku says the entire world rising up against any country should be a very frightening situation which no sane country should ever brag of not caring about. With Iran's current unwise stand, it now seems more likely than not that the lighted fuse would certainly make contact with the mother-load.
Unfortunately though, Iran seems oblivious of this freight-train headed their way and will be made to pay a stiff price in the event a military confrontation results. Iran will be made to answer for all their intransigence over the many years including the hostage taking of the seventies; and they failed to realize that the West hardly forgets or forgives such thumbing of the nose. But it is not yet too late for an about turn mea culpa to starve off an impending payback; but the decision is Tehran's to make.

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.
