The alcohol-loving former Japanese finance minister finally did it, - he took his own life amidst a painful heart long yearning for attention, but was simply over-looked and ignored in a society, moving at the pace of meteor! His manifestations of cry for help went unanswered and today, he is no more! Like all suicides, he was unheard and he "jumped!" He tried to drink away his painful sorrows, but no, his demons still tagged along with him until they finally forced his hands. He possibly could not shake off his monkey of alcoholism! Icheoku says, he probably died a very long time ago, judging from his moody-looks, which suggests a man in deep pain caused by a troubled heart. What was it and was it worth taking one's own life? Shoichi Nakagawa was found dead by his wife on Sunday morning, in his home at Tokyo residential district of Setagaya. He was lying faced down, on his bed, in what appears to be an apparent suicide? The late minister had no external injuries which suggests he may have ingested some substance, to end a life, which as far as he was concerned has since lost its meaning? His death is strongly tilting towards suicide as it would appear that suicide runs in their family, his father who was also an LDP heavyweight, committed suicide in a hotel room in 1983. Icheoku says, Shoichi Nakagawa, most likely took his own life! The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are investigating the death of the 56 year old, troubled and drunken former finance minister; who was forced to resign his office over a drunken misbehaviour at the G7 meeting in Rome, Italy, last February 2009! He subsequently lost his seat in parliament during his party's abysmal election performance, last August 30, 2009. Mr Shoichi Nakagawa was a former lawmaker from the northern island of Hokkaido for more than 25 years. A heavyweight in the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), in an election speech he made to his constituents in the town of Obihiro on the northern island of Hokkaido, during his failed re-election campaign last August, Shoichi Nakagawa said, “For the sake of Japan, for the sake of all of you, I shall renounce alcohol.” Icheoku says, this guy would have been a good commercial for any alcoholic beverage company as their spokesman; but he died before they could discover his talents?
A former LDP rising star and potential prime minister candidate, late Shoichi Nakagawa held several Cabinet-level positions including agriculture minister and trade minister before becoming the finance minister in September 2008. He once called for Japan to consider developing nuclear weapons in response to North Korea's ratcheting its nuclear capabilities? He was also pro-Taiwan, a position which angered China which sees the island as part of its territory. Icheoku says, while the Tokyo police works to confirm the suicide, may his soul now find the peace which eluded his physical body. Adieu, Shoichi Nakagawa!

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.
