It is not just doom and gloom that Icheoku is all about; no, when something uplifting happens -whenever there is something to celebrate in a country which has disappointed on so many expectations of many of her country men and women since her independence in 1960, we accord it the same attention! Today in far away Beijing at the Olympics, there is cause-celebre for Nigerians and Icheoku joins the teaming millions others in saying Congratulations Nigeria Men's Soccer (football) Team for your win over United States of America! Nigeria's captain Promise Isaac and Victor Obinna scored Nigeria's two goals respectively, while Sacha Kljestan gave the United States of America her only goal with an 88th-minute penalty kick. It was a 2-1 win over the United States who played with only ten men for 86 minutes of the 90 minutes game. There was an early minute red card by referee Wolfgang Stark following left back Michael Orozco's elbow on a Nigerian while jostling for position.
Icheoku says that it was a game and in the spirit of sportsmanship, both sides understands the result in good faith! Once again, Congratulations, Nigeria Men's Olympic Soccer Team!

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.
