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.

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.

ABDULWAHEED OMAR, ANOTHER JOKER IN THE HAND OF THE CABAL?

The leader of Nigeria Labor Congress, Mallam Abdulwaheed Omar, is suddenly now proactive in the Nigeria protest scene? A man who disappeared when Nigeria needed him most, when President Umaru Yar'Adua's cabal held the country hostage and for over 100 days, has now emerged from his hide-out and threatening a nation-wide strike to frustrate the coming elections of 2011, under the guise of patriotically asking for regime change at INEC? By this eleventh hour activism, Omar has demanded that the horse be changed mid-stream, with scheduled elections so close that it does not make sense to bring in a new boss to start de-novo with preparations and conduct of the 2011 elections?
Icheoku says, any Nigerian who is serious with a good outcome in 2011 would not be advocating change of batons at this stage; but rather how to make elections work for Nigerians and not just the few Nigerian power-brokers and stake-holders? Such a person would know that Iwu is not the problem but a polity that is not disciplined, where winner takes all; hence the fierce urge to win at all cost, and by all means necessary since the end justifies the means in Nigeria? What about asking for the immediate implementation of the Justice Uwais electoral reforms recommendations? What about asking that election malpractice be made a serious felony attracting not only prison term but a ban from any and all subsequent future elections in Nigeria? What about protesting against undue influence or the means of choosing leaders by selection and not election, which encourages mediocre candidates being put in offices through 'god-fatherism' instead of meritocracy and ability? What about protesting Olusegun Obasanjo who arm-twisted and strong-armed the results of the two previous elections under advisement; which does not show Professor Maurice Iwu in good colors?
Anyway, Icheoku's position is that it is too late now to bring on a new man to organize and conduct elections scheduled for early 2011. Moreover Professor Maurice Iwu is battle-tested and supposedly now more ready than in 2003 and 2007 to deliver a more convincing outcome? He also have garnered necessary on-the-job experience from conducting two elections and some by-elections in between so far! Maurice Iwu also is no longer new to the intrigues of Nigerian politicians and their cunning ways to win elections by any means necessary? He has seen influence peddlers and their tempting offers, so would not be easily swayed? Maurice Iwu should be allowed to conduct this coming election and thereafter he can be fired but to do it now, prior to the so close elections will be crisis-ridden. Icheoku is no friend to Maurice Iwu and could care less if he is even thrown into jail; but let the truth be told, he is the best prepared and equipped presently to conduct the coming elections? Moreso, he will probably use the opportunity of the next elections, to redeem his name; which has somewhat been damaged as a result of the two elections he conducted under the 'duress' of Olusegun Obasanjo? Whatever happens with his term, it is our position that Abdulwaheed Omar lacks the moral authority to now desire to protest Iwu out of the INEC; a feat which he shied away from when his voice was needed most over Yar'Adua's debacle; when he scurried and hid in an undisclosed location, only to emerge after Jonathan has been empowered as acting president to give his lame excuse that he went into hiding in order not to over-heat the situation and give the military reason to stage a coup?' Really Omar; what changed since then, one may ask?
Icheoku warns that Abdulwaheed Omar is on a mission to abort the next 2011 elections? Mallam Abdulwaheed Omar is the latest joker in the hands of the cabal to deal with Nigeria which has shoved aside ailing President Yar'Adua; and has now been deployed to nix the next coming elections; and so must be stopped, pronto! Why did this Mallam Omar not protest President Yar'Adua to resign when Nigerians wanted him so badly to do so? His labor congress looked and searched him out for leadership direction but he was AWOL? There is something definitely fishy with his attitudinal change, which somewhat supports the proposition that this sudden found activism and the planned protest are both cabal agenda-driven! So, Nigeria and the NLC, pay no attention to this mallam!
