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.

#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.

From dust you were made and unto dust you shall return! And so it was that a little over two months of waiting for the miracle of 'resurrection' to take place, the Jackson family finally gave up and parted ways with their most prized child-star, turned mega super star, Michael Jackson! His remains, that is! MJ was laid to rest in his gold coffin at Forest Lawn, Glendale marble mausoleum! His family's preferred method, entombment? Icheoku proclaims, we now have a 'Pharaoh Jackson!' One thing stood out during the finally goodbyes, - the absence of scriptures, as none was read during the parting of ways ceremony? And you wonder, how the heavens will know that MJ's body has finally come home and for MJ to go claim his shipment? Michael was seen off to his final resting place by a motorcade of 31 cars, including some Rolls-Royce and Cadillacs, with the hearse bearing Jackson's body bringing up the rear? It is equally instructive that the burial party was stung by the 'African-time syndrome' bug which caused over one hour thirty minutes delay of ceremony? Icheoku says, maybe the Jackson brothers constant visit to Lagos-Nigeria has infected them with the legendary African-time virus? Or put in another way, may be they were too emotional to part ways with their baby brother, and letting go of MJ finally and forever, at last, was a thought they were not ready to yet entertain with absolute certainty? Again, Oprah Winfrey was a no-show; the second time, having been absent at the public funeral? This leads one to ask, what could the family-feud between the Jackson clan and that of Oprah to result in such a public display; or was it mere rivalry gone too far between two wealthy and famous African American families parading two world mega super-stars? As for Icheoku, MJ was bigger and larger than Oprah; admitted she may be sitting on more money than she really knows what to do with? To Lady O, Icheoku says, you do not fight or quarrel with the dead; and if you could attend Eunice Kennedy Shriver's funeral, why not Michael Jackson's? Even if you were not invited, you could have still gone as a public figure coming to bid another public figure farewell? But a twice no-show, really sends a wrong message of someone being too strung out on whatever the matter might be, that she ignored a Michael Jackson's funeral and burial? 
It will be recalled that the King of Pop died of drug over-dose on June 25, 2009; at his home in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. He was 50 and was preparing for his "This is It" tour before Dr. Conrad Murray, his personal physician, gave him the fatal cocktail of sedatives including propofol that led him to the mausoleum at Glendale. Icheoku says, MJ, now rest in peace, free from all the pains which led you to drugs, caused your addiction and eventual death! So Long Mikey!

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.
