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.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

"There is too much hate in America because there is too much anger in America." - Trevor Noah.

WORD!

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

WORD.

"If you cannot speak the truth when it matters, then nothing else you says matters.” - Tucker Carlson.

#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.

"COUNTRIES OF INTEREST", NIGERIA NOW OFFICIALLY A TERRORIST STATE?

Regrettably, the Northern Nigerian Fulani Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab has succeeded in tarnishing Nigeria's image further, adding another dishonorable epitaph to it, - a terrorist country? Yes, A terrorist country; regardless of the subterfuge of a "country of interest" it has been branded by the United States Transport Security Administration, TSA. We all know when a person is suspected of a crime, he is initially branded a 'person of interest' while evidence is being gathered with eyes kept on him/her, only to be arrested as soon as warrant is perfected; thus a person of interest most always, graduates into a suspect. So cutting through the chase, Icheoku laments that Nigeria is now a terrorist country!
It is for all intent and purpose, practically speaking, FINISHED for the Nigerian travelling public; especially the innocent youth that desperately need to escape the hardship in the country for a better life anywhere, a hardship brought about by series of inept leaderships which the country has been cursed with and for so many years. Henceforth, many countries will be very reluctant to take in a Nigeria as no country wants to take in a potential terror-suspect; and added to the existing bad raps which Nigeria already have as a country of 419ners, drug-traffickers and epidemically very corrupt; this additional appendage of terrorism will be just too burdensome to grapple with.
The American Transportation Security Administration just announced that it will begin enhanced screening procedures immediately on any U.S.-bound air passenger traveling through "state sponsors of terrorism or other countries of interest" such as Pakistan, Yemen and Nigeria!
The implication being that anyone from or originating his trip from any of these countries will automatically trigger 'enhanced screening' of that person's body before he/she could board any United States of America bound flight. Who knows what 'enhanced screening' will entail, but suffice it to say, it may be very intrusive! The other countries in this league of 'terror-nations' include Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Somalia. Icheoku says, what an unholy alliance and a despicable club of detestable countries for Nigeria to also belong; at a time when one thinks it is already very bad for Nigeria, now comes the whammy of terrorism, the mother of all things bad and loathsome! May God damn this Umaru Farouk Abdul Mutallab for bringing this global odium on Nigeria with his Christmas day terrorism, which has been described as "a Christmas gift to Nigeria which nobody wanted."
Anyway, a quick fix and possible way out of this very bad situation would be for travelling Nigerians to denounce their citizenship immediately and take new citizenship elsewhere? They should try and lose the green passport and take their newly adoptive country's as fast as possible; and also route their subsequent future trips through Ghana, Benin, Togo, Cameroon, South Africa or just any other country that does not sound Nigeria? They should as a matter of utmost urgency, avoid originating their flights out of Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt? That way they will be spared the impending, demeaning and possibly very dehumanising "strip-search" they will encounter at any airport in the world, assuming they are lucky enough to secure a visa to even travel henceforth. Alternatively, the Nigerians authorities, since they cannot deny complete liability, should instead petition the American State Department to nudge their TSA to streamline the 'enhanced screening' of Nigerian travellers and confine it to people from the Islamic sharia Northern Nigeria only. These are the people that gave the world, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab and the same people who have suffered Nigeria with so many terrorist religious riots over the years since 1960? Nigeria as a country has suffered enough in the hands of these Hausa-Fulani terrorists from Northern Nigeria, through their usually unprovoked religious riots which have killed and maimed thousands, destroyed properties worth billions and which have terrorised millions of people of southern Nigeria. Icheoku asks, why must the people of Southern Nigerians and Christians alike, now suffer as a result of the Islamic North's infamy of terrorism?
Traveling as a Nigeria has now taken on an added burden of being a 'potential terror-suspect' or a 'terror-person of interest?' It is no longer advised to travel as a Nigerian to any part of the world, all courtesy of the Northern Nigerian Fulani diaper-bomber, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, who has by necessary implication, damaged every travelling Nigerians as a terrorism persons of interest? What a tag of shame! Cry thy beloved country, Nigerians; if only Alan Quaterman knew better and designated his work on Nigeria? Icheoku says, it shall not be well with you, Umar Abdul Farouk Mutallab.
