ICHEOKU says when Nancy Pelosi announced way back before the election that it does not matter what happens on November 3rd that Joe Biden will be sworn into office on January 20th as the president of the United States of America, nobody raised an eyebrow. Nancy Pelosi also once said in response to a question about the mayhem being visited on American cities last summer by BLM and ANTIFA that some people are going to do what some people do. Ilhan Omar also once said regarding 9/11 attacks that "is it because some people did something."
Neither Nancy Pelosi nor Ilhan Omar or other Democratic Party's leadership condemned BLM and ANTIFA and nobody ever called them out nor asked them to be canceled because of their apparent support of the destructive activities. It is also noteworthy that no Muslim nation including Saudi Arabia was held accountable for 9/11; not even Iran which regularly calls for death to America. Maxine Watters also urged her supporters to get in the face of Republicans as well as Eric Holder who told supporters to kick them.
So why is President Donald John Trump being specifically singled out and called out and accused of being responsible for what went down in the Capitol. History tells us how underground movements usually come about, when voices are silenced and suppressed; and concerns ignored and they find alternative way out of their forced muzzle. It always does not end well and Americans should be afraid of such development ever rearing its head in America.
America must avoid driving the disaffected MAGA world underground because everyone will suffer the consequences of such fallout. Britain lost most of its colonial territories when it drove every opposition underground, one of the most notable one being the Mau Mau organization in Kenya. When a people feel that they have nothing to loose, live for or look forward to, desperation sets in and it usually results to horrible consequences. It is therefore unhealthy to dismiss the concerns of MAGA world as irrelevant and irrational, hence they should not be reviewed as meritorious enough to be looked into.
If four years of Democratic Party's challenge of the 2016 election protest as a Russian Collusion outcome was accommodated and investigate, why not also accommodate and investigate the few months of MAGA challenge of the November 3rd election as fraudulent. People have their boiling point at which time, feeling completely exhausted, they become irrational and do strange things in acting out their disgust.
No suicide bomber was born that way. They become lethal from a persuaded need to redress perceived injustice fueled by none stop continuous propaganda. Afghanistan and Somalia as well as so many other hell-holes in the world used to be functioning societies where citizens dreamt dreams about a rosy future for their children and grandchildren and those to come after them. Unfortunately, America is taking for granted the lasting peaceful co-existence of her citizens that some people who rightly feel strong attachment to America are being now being antagonized and literally marginalized and pushed aside and out of what they rightly believed is their America.
These people have no other place they can call home and it will be a fight to the finish should push ever come to shove and they have to put their feet down in defense of what they see as their only home turf in the world. Mexicans can run back to their original country; ditto Africans and Asians, but these folks have no other place known to them but America and they would rather die fighting than turn tails because they have no place else to scurry to. A society functions as one when every member of that society feels equally treated under the same rule and law.
MAGA Nation strongly feels that Joe Biden did not win the last election and couldn't have won it, albeit honestly. It is the same way that Democrats believed that Trump colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 election. MAGA world see Democrats received a different treatment to their concern than what they are receiving themselves due to their own protest of an election. Suppressing their concerns or repressing those who are expressing similar concerns will not make the concern go away nor will it aid healing the nation. It can only exacerbate the hurt feelings and provoke extreme actions.
Lastly the worst mistake anybody could make now is to think that any resulting crisis will be summarily easily quelled or that it will be like the civil war where the line were clearly more discernible. If anything happens now, the whole 50 States will be the theater and there will be no markers on anybody's face to show who belongs to which divide. It is the type of thing that leads to a failed State and nobody really knows what percentage of the military is on which side.
Therefore all efforts must be made to cool down the raging temperature in the land as the alternative is not the stuff any loving American should ever wish on their beloved country. Instead of canceling and banning people who believe differently or hold different political and ideological opinions, the energy should be geared towards finding common meeting ground in order to help pull the nation back from its precipitous perch on the cliff. America is in a precarious place and only one little trigger will make the difference but defusing it should be an all hands on the deck task.

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.
