ICHEOKU says and he is only 41 years old, a political newbie who has never held any political office in his life, but defeated an incumbent somewhat troublesome president, who has been creating needless worries between Ukraine and their brother neighbor Russia.
It is also instructive that the outgoing President Petro Poroshenko colluded with the campaign of Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton to defeat then candidate Donald John Trump and has had a frosty relationship with the White House ever since. That he is also antagonistic to President Vladimir Putin did not help matters as his Ukrainian people decided to offload him rather than continue on the path that could trigger a real armed confrontation with the much stronger Russia army.
Now, a made for television face comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky, has been elected as president of Ukraine. Hopefully, he can charm both Putin and Trump back into seeing Ukraine for what it is - a stuck in the middle friend to the West and also a brother to Russia and with it, restore peace and normalcy to Eastern Ukraine and also negotiate the lasting fate of Crimea.
ICHEOKU wishes the newly elected boyish faced president of Ukraine all the best and observes that he looks very much like former British Prime Minister David Cameron. At 41 years old, he is now the youngest world leader as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, at 47 years, is much older. What a transition he had from playing a president on the screen to now the real thing; a real president, in a real presidential mansion, with its real challenges, powers and authority. All the best President Volodymyr Zelensky. Congratulations.

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.
