Icheoku says one of the finest movie ever made in Nigeria and from the Nollywood stable, 'Living in Bondage' appositely surmises the present state of anomie in the land. A situation where the citizens are wondering what went wrong with the president of great expectation they elected and the president is seemingly wondering too, what did I find myself in. A case of the falcon not hearing the falconer or the falconer not calling loud enough or the falcon probably gone deaf but not to the knowledge of the falconer? Which one is it or is it none of the above? Icheoku says except for the lopsided appointments PMB has so far made, in which he grossly and disproportionately favored his Miyetti Allah people of the North to the detriment of Southerners, nothing seems to have moved an inch ever since that his swearing in of May 29th 2015.
Just for the records, Boko Haram seems to have regained their momentum and now once again enjoying a free range in the country's Northeast? The staged kidnapped Chibok girls have neither been located nor released? Kidnappers are still kidnapping people and killing their victims, and just recently a Professor from the Southwest died in their hands? Armed robbers are still waylaying citizens and robbing banks (Ikorodu)? Unemployed are still praying for their promised monthly stipends while waiting for also promised jobs to fall from the skies of PMB's Aso Rock? Power is still what it was pre-his inauguration - very epileptic? Availability of petroleum products is still as anemic as a kwashiorkor victim? The almighty dollar instead of becoming tamed as promised has completely lost its mind in a mercurial climb to the stratosphere? World oil prices has not received the steroid shot that was promised? So Icheoku asks, were Nigerians sold a dummy or were they 419ed, scammed into making the choice they made on March 29? Icheoku does not know the answer off the bat, but developments thus far have only consolidated our position that a snake-oil is a snake oil and their salesmen should not be allowed with Nigerian electorates' ear shot. But hey, Nigerians made that choice and they must learn to live with it. As for those Buhari apologists who are saying that it is too early in the day to pass judgment, Icheoku reminds them that the chick that will become a cockerel starts exhibiting such signs at a very early age. So go figure!

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.
