ICHEOKU says interesting, except that all the encomiums which he poured on Joe Biden as eruditely qualifies him for president, were all supposedly still in Joe Biden when Barack Obama advised him not to run for president. Recall the Obama's infamous, "Joe, don't do it" remark to Joe Biden when he intimated Obama about his intention to run for the office. So, what changed now or did Joe Biden's alleged promise to run with a woman vice presidential candidate, particularly one named Michelle Obama, changed the calculus. But hey, no amount of endorsements ever make a candidate president. For most part, it is still a self wrought achievement and anyone in doubt should ask Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton why she is not in the White House today, despite her gazillion endorsements.
In 2016, the same Barack Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton and campaigned for her as a sitting president with all the levers of the office, yet somebody else won the 2016's presidency. So what weight anyone attaches to Barack Obama's endorsement of his former Vice President Joe Biden is as weighty as that person wants it to be; but it is not broadly the proverbial silver bullet that will shoot down President Donald John Trump's 2020 reelection bid. Joe Biden has to literary earn it by himself. If indeed Joe Biden wants to be president, Joe Biden has to work for it; as nobody who does not want to vote for Joe Biden will now say because of Obama's endorsement, he or she will vote for him. Also there is nobody who wants to vote for President Donald John Trump who will now say because of the Obama's endorsement, he or she will no longer vote for Trump.
It is a fact of consequence that President Donald John Trump's presidency was a rejection of the Obama/Biden administration, which many Americans found wanting and did not want it to continue. The litany of reasons for their disillusion at their presidency is very lengthy, including the infamous Iran nuclear deal and the $150 billion that allegedly exchanged hands. So what changed within four years to now merit their rehabilitation with an ushering back into the White House. Anyway, ICHEOKU shall leave the full excavation of the tomb of the Obama/Biden's ineptitude for later days of the campaign, as this write up is only about the endorsement which finally came. Now the battle begins for the votes of American people on who they would rather have at the tiller of State at this time of great peril in the land, both from the Coronavirus contagion and an economy on life support.

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.
