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.

#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.

WHAT THEY TOLD ME ABOUT BUHARI - OBASANJO?

Icheoku says Olusegun Obasanjo is a very despicable person who is up to no good. As with his pattern of conduct, his current romanticization with President Muhammadu Buhari will not end well and will sooner than later, fizzle out and peter out. Nigerians have seen this before and will soon watch a sequel that affirms the Ota Deity does not believe that anyone else knows anything other than him or better than him; and in any event that every person must see the world through the Obasanjo paradigm and prism in order to be considered good enough to be in his good books. Would President Muhammadu Buhari indulge him, massage his ego and for how long? 

Olusegun Obasanjo is once again singing the alleluia and praises of another Nigeria president, President Muhammadu Buhari, and the gullible Nigerians are listening to him. A Nigerian people who so easily forgot that it was just a few short years ago that he similarly sang the praises of the late President Umaru Yar'Adua; and just few months ago, that of the now voted out of office Jonathan of Otuoke. Icheoku says whether the current unofficial spokesman-ship for President Muhammadu Buhari will last depends on how much control of his government the president is ready to cede to the former president and Baba Iyabo of Nigeria. The latest of his antics is his claim of what former United States of America President Bill Clinton and former dull Prime Minister Gordon Brown of United Kingdom allegedly told him about Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari. According to Obasanjo's narrative, these former leaders gave President Muhammadu Buhari a good thumbs up, of so far so good; having been favorably impressed thus far by him. 

Icheoku says no one was there who overheard the alleged conversation to collaborate what was said, by whom and to whom? So no one is in a position to effectively doubt the tale of the man who told of how he easily killed the lion. Olusegun Obasanjo is known to embellish stories; Olusegun Obasanjo is known to make it up as he goes, all in his vainglorious attempt to paint a picture of an Obasanjo different from the very Obasanjo known to Nigeria and the world. Olusegun Obasanjo is also known to have his own peculiar facts which however is usually free of real facts. Admittedly, Olusegun Obasanjo is not the first or only Nigeria public figure known to make up stories or who has been caught making up a feel good story. The zoo-candidate in Edo State government house in Benin, Adams Oshiuomhole, similarly once told of how an American official confided in him that a former President Jonathan Goodluck official stole six billion dollars. However when he was confronted by the American State department to validate his claim by naming the official who so told him, Adams Oshiomhole coiled back into his shell in shame; having been caught pants down trying to sell a dummy as no one ever met or told him anything about the alleged fraud. 

But regardless of the validity or lack thereof of the latest claim by the Ota Deity, Icheoku says of what use is it anyway that men who are out of power in both the United Kingdom and the United States of America are the ones giving testimonials about Nigeria's President Muhammad Buhari? What use are these testimonials anyway when the current men in power in both countries have not vouchsafed for the Nigeria president. One wonders what Olusegun Obasanjo is trying to achieve by telling Nigerians that one of the worst Prime Ministers Britain has ever known, the dull and uninspiring Gordon Brown, who himself could not even win a reelection, gave comforting assessment of President Muhammadu Buhari? Now a Bill Clinton too, who could not even give a convincing and acceptable impact statement to the American people in order to help save his wife's floundering campaign, is also one of those allegedly  vouching for President Muhammadu Buhari? Icheoku says a more credible validation would have been the one Obasanjo got from President Barack Obama and/or David Cameron; but not those two former and out of power leaders of Britain and America. 

So of what utility is this names droppings, one may ask? Therefore, until Olusegun Obasanjo is allowed access to 10 Downing Street and the White House, in audience with both David and Barack, his latest attempt to assert himself as a personality whom world leaders come to when they want to communicate something to Nigerians, should be ignored and dismissed as simply an effort at egotistic self gloating. 

Icheoku says one of the most important validation of President Muhammadu Buhari which Obasanjo would have communicated to Nigerians would have been the one from his estranged daughter Iyabo Obasanjo. What did Iyabo tell her own disowned father about President Muhammadu Buhari's integrity, but regrettably, Olusegun Obasanjo is not telling? What did the Nigerian Diaspora tell Olusegun Obasanjo about President Muhammadu Buhari's style of governance, except that opinions of these Nigerians do not matter to this supposed Nigeria leader? What did home-domiciled Nigerians tell Olusegun Obasanjo about President Muhammadu Buhari's crawling government, except that Olusegun Obasanjo does not care what these home based Nigerians have to say? What did the people actually in power as opposed to those two people who are out of power in those two countries, United Kingdom and the United States of America, tell Olusegun Obasanjo about their impression and opinion of Present Muhammadu Buhari, but Olusegun Obasanjo is rather dumb on this question? 

Icheoku says it does not matter whether or not Bill Clinton has favorable impression of Muhammadu Buhari or that Gordon Brown has a good impression of President Muhammadu Buhari, what is important is the impression the  president will leave with the Nigerian people, his primary constituency. So until President Muhammadu Buhari makes believers out of Icheoku and millions of other Nigerians who do not believe he is the messiah Nigerians are looking for, whatever alleged impression of the president which this fading world leaders may or may not have about the president is indeed immaterial and irrelevant. Until President Muhammadu Buhari so convinces his naysayers and critics alike, nothing will change. They will remain pessimistic in the outcome of his governance, regardless of whatever opinion Gordon Brown and Bill Clinton might have or express. As for Olusegun Obasanjo, only a demented slimy society accommodates such a decrepitude person and still listens to whatever the f++k he wants to or has to say. So President Muhammadu Buhari, the jury is still out on your presidency and the onus is on you to prove the naysayers wrong.
