BIN LADEN'S DEATH-QUESTION NOW MOOT, AL QUERIDA CONFIRMS HIS DEATH!

At last the issue of whether or not Osama Bin Laden was actually killed has now been laid to rest; and even without disclosing his death-picture. Al Querida confirmed the death of their leader Osama Bin Laden and this conclusively renders moot the question of whether or not he was actually killed this time around. It also preempts the earlier calls for the release of Osama Bin Laden's death-picture as evidence of his actual death; which Icheoku had joined, so as to conclusively prove the fact of the stated. In a statement, Al Querida said, "The blood of Bin Laden, shot to death by a U.S. commando team in a raid on Monday on his hide-out in a Pakistani town is more precious to us and to every Muslim than to be wasted in vain. It will remain, with permission from Allah the Almighty, a curse that hunts the Americans and their collaborators and chases them inside and outside their country." Icheoku says this is it, the final answer to doubting Thomases that Bin Laden is dead since Al Querida itself has irrefutably confirmed the death of its death-merchant in chief Osama Bin Laden. So what next?

It is to be noted that the elimination of these mad dogs continues after landing of the highest anti-terrorism trophy, Osama Bin Laden; as a U.S. drone just killed 17 suspected militants in northwest Pakistan, despite warnings from the Pakistani military against the mounting of such attacks within its borders in the future and post the Osama Bin Laden embarrassment. Icheoku says but what could this banana republic military do, but to bark when they could not intercept several helicopters as they breached their airspace and with it their sovereignty? Icheoku says it also does not matter now if the Pakistani incompetent military suspends their cooperation with the US in their fight against terrorism since terrorist in chief Osama Bin Laden, their boogie-man, has been harvested. If the Pakistani military carries out their threat, those awesome drones can effectively and efficiently be used to complete whatever task that may remain as well as business that needs to be done in that God forsaken piece of arid reality. 

To hell with the incompetent and complacent Pakistani whiskey-drinking military that was so moronic and in a state of stupor, not to know when their airspace was violated and with it, the killing and taking away of their ultimate prize, Osama Bin Laden. Icheoku further states that Osama Bin Laden was not a human-being but a heartless bloody terrorist and therefore was not deserving or protected by any human rights privileges. Therefore the United Nations Human Rights commission should butt out in their call to understand the full circumstances surrounding Osama Bin Laden's elimination from this earth. Icheoku says Osama Bin Laden deserved the fate which met him in Abottabad Pakistan and there rests the matter, period. If anyone does not like it, too bad!

BUHARI'S MYOPIC VIEW OF NIGERIA MADE HIM THINK HE WON - GOVERNOR ALIYU BABANGIDA.

“I am emphasizing this fact because of what happened after the presidential election. Many of us are so myopic that we think our village is Nigeria. No, we’re a part and never can a part be a whole. Your village is not Nigeria. Your village is a part of Nigeria. So, if somebody wins or loses election in your village, that does not mean he has lost election in the country.” - Governor Mu'Azu Aliyu Babangida of Niger State taking it directly to Imam Muhammadu Buhari, on his delusional cry-baby claim to having won the last Nigeria presidential election.

THE CONFESSIONS OF A MANIAC, AREMU OLUSEGUN OKIKILEMO OBASANJO!

Finally the long awaited explanation to why the former Nigeria President Olusegun Obasanjo wanted to distort the constitution and secure a third term for himself has been provided; and by the master-mafia himself - our due respect to Kongi's Harvest for the use of that word. Olusegun Obasanjo said the fear of his possible arrest after leaving office and prosecution for Odi and Zaki Ibiam massacres, as well as numerous other atrocities perpetrated under his watch,  made him seek the failed third term to provide him a shelter from the long arms of the law as well as shield him from justice for as long as he remained in office and continues to enjoy immunity from prosecution! 


Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Cape Town South Africa, the man who took Nigeria for a long scary ride through a path of ignominy and who wanted to truncate the constitution just for his own personal selfishness said, “Unless it is absolutely necessary, I believe that any African leader, whatever mistakes he made while in office, unless it is a heinous crime, when he gets out of office should be left alone to vegetate and retire to his village, or where ever he wants to retire to. One of the things that can discourage others from following the footsteps of those who have vacated power is the fear of what will happen to them after they leave office."Icheoku says but regrettably ever since Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo was forced out of office by Nigerians who thunderously said NO to his third term agenda, he is still walking the grounds of Nigeria a free man despite committing 'heinous crimes' of genocide against ethnic minorities of Odi Bayelsa State and Zaki Ibiam Benue State? 


According to Obasanjo's doctrine of preventing 'sit-tightness amongst African leaders' and Icheoku quotes, "leaders should be left alone to rot in retirement "unless it is for heinous crime"; in which case, such a monstrous former president should not be left alone but disturbed by the law and the people. Icheoku asks, what then is the Nigerian authorities waiting before they arrested and prosecute Olusegun Obasanjo, using his standards as a guiding philosophy, or are they saying that his nearly extermination of a people is not such "heinous crime" as would subject Obasanjo under his own doctrine for culpability of a former leader? Icheoku says the crimes of Olusegun Obasanjo while in office make it absolutely necessary and imperative for him not to be left alone, but made to answer for them after he left office or rather was forced out of office. Icheoku worries that excessive executive impunity persisting in Africa especially Nigeria today, where men and women of means and power feel that they are above the law, stems from the fact of the failure to prosecute people like Olusegun Obasanjo for their blatant crimes, committed while in office or in a position of authority. 


Such impetus is now being similarly shared by the failed presidential candidate of Congress for Progressive Change and three times rejected presidential candidate, Imam Muhammadu Buhari over his engineering of the post election mayhem that engulfed some parts of Northern Nigeria. Icheoku even heard that the Osama Bin Laden of Nigeria, severally and boisterously, challenged the authorities in Nigeria to arrest him if they can; that Icheoku wishes that atypical Sani Abacha is in office to take Buhari up on his dare. 


Why would a country worth its name not subject every of her citizen under the law; and it is not as if these two were the only times people have felt above the law in Nigeria. Remember that the evil genius Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida once refused to honor an invitation to appear before a duly constituted Justice Chukwudiufu Oputa panel of Inquiry and he freely walked away from such arrogant disrespect and disregard for the law? The solution to this flagrant abuse of the law in Nigeria is simple as making an example with one of these people is all that is required to straighten things and empower the populace. Icheoku says, JUST PUT EVERY GADDAM NIGERIAN UNDER THE LAW and now that Olusegun Obasanjo has technically confessed that his crimes while in office were the reason for his wanting a third time, may be it is about time the Nigerian authorities make an example out of him and bring him to justice. 


Luckily, there is no statute of limitation in matters of mass murder. Odi and Zaki Ibiam victims of Obasanjo's brutal regime are still reeling in pain, crying and demanding for justice, so Olusegun Obasanjo should be put through the judicial process and made to pay for his crimes against the humanity that called Odi and Zaki Ibiam home. The rest of his other Nigerian victims, since possibly his crimes against them did not arise to the "heinous crimes" standard; will be satisfied with the Odis and Zaki Ibiams getting their day in court against their traducer in chief, Aremu Michael Okikilemo Olusegun Obasanjo. But no, it ain't gonna ever happen as Icheoku almost forgot that President Jonathan is Obasanjo's boy and he dare not go up against the man who made him president. The Godfather strikes with venom and vengeance and President Goodlucky Ebelesimi Jonathan do not want none of that; moreso he is not of the brave-heart genre and would rather his boat is not rocked. 


It is also quite ironical that Olusegun Obasanjo, who had eight years to but failed to fix Nigeria, is now imploring the present administration to address six key areas of 'economy, security, unemployment, corruption, infrastructure development and stability in energy generation and supply.' What a man who is both shameless and unaware Obasanjo is; otherwise with which face is he now urging that these areas be addressed urgently when he woefully failed to do so himself during his eight long years in office and with enough resources to make them happen. It is paradoxically akin to the Rush Limbaughs of America giving credit to former President GW Bush for the final "mission accomplished" in the matter of Osama Bin Laden? Like Obsanjo, Bush had eight years but could not or failed to land the trophy Osama Bin Laden; and although President Jonathan is not there yet but is directed and marching on; and soon it would be real democracy-dividend delivered to the people of Nigeria in those enumerated six areas. Icheoku's quarrel is not with the merits or demerits of the six issues raised, but that Olusegun Obasanjo is the wrong person to raise them; as he lost his moral standing to so do when he blew his opportunity to make a difference in those areas while in office. But at last Nigerians, we have a confession from the Aremu himself on why he desperately sought a third term in office that was resoundingly rejected by Nigerians. What a confession that is and when will Obasanjo be indicted for his crimes while in office since his immunity has since now lapsed? 

LEON PANETTA'S STATEMENT, A GAFFE OR INTENTIONAL EMBARRASSMENT?

Icheoku says the director of the CIA Leon Panetta almost took the shine out of the spectacular accomplishment of our government and the military in nailing Bin Laden when he acknowledged that water boarding was used to coarse the confession which eventually led to the nailing of Bin Laden. The CIA director also said that the death-photo of Bin Laden will be released without first clearing that with the White House which probably forced the hand of the president to rule otherwise? Icheoku says such conflicting utterances from such a high-up administration official, made without first checking it out with his bosses at the White House is uncalled for and smacks of a discordant tunes or messaging from the same government; and to some extent, a challenge to a constituted authority. Hopefully it is just a gaffe; otherwise his posting to the DOD should be further reviewed just to avoid any future conflicts or similar affront! Icheoku reiterates that Osama Bin Laden deserved the fate which met him - he is dead and that ends the story; and it should be tidied up there as no further explanation is needed or required, period! Anybody who does not like the plot or how it ended should just go and hang!

BIN LADEN COMMENTS, RUSH LIMBAUGH GONE CRAZIER THAN CHARLIE SHEEN?

Icheoku says radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh seemingly has now irrecoverably crossed into the realm of lunacy and now tethers at the fringes. Monitoring his reaction to the once in a lifetime event of killing Osama Bin Laden, Icheoku wonders what drives this man other than his asinine hatred of "THAT ONE NIGGER" in 'their' WHITE HOUSE; otherwise how can any sane person find fault in what President Barack Obama accomplished with the death of the master terrorist in chief, Osama Bin Laden? Rush Limbaugh's obsession against the president makes Icheoku wonder how far is too far and when will this man be called to order or even silenced and taken off the airwaves?

Rush Limbaugh's commentaries have crossed the arena of pettiness into fringed absurdity that he diminishes the feat that killed Bin Laden as a no brainier and attributed the success rather to President George Walker Bush because he set the machinery in motion; yet he could not pull it off for eight long years? But the same Rush Limbaugh blames President Obama for an economy which was already comatose when he took over the realms of power from Bush but nevertheless attributes or references GW as the author of the sagged economy. It would appear that this Rush Limbaugh has selective amnesia as to what GW did wrong and right as he blames everything headed-south on President Obama while all the positives were somebody else. In his futile attempt to diminish what President Obama accomplished in Abottabad-Pakistan, Rush forgot that the president is the commander in chief and that whatever the military pulls off is to the CNC credit. Rush also forgot too soon whose desk the buck stops at and that had the mission failed, President Obama at the same token, would have been fully responsible for the failure or bungled strike. However, now that a mission was really finally accomplished, the credit was simply too much for Rush Limbaugh to give to "THAT ONE"; hence his delusional giving of credit to a man under whose watch 9/11 happened and who could not, and also failed to find Osama Bin Laden dead or alive?

When Zakawi, an al-Queida foot-soldier and field commander in Iraq was killed in Iraq, Rush Limbaugh hailed it as one big deal achievement by then commander in chief George W. Bush; but now that the al-Qeida face to the world, the capo himself, the boss of all bosses, Osama Bin Laden was killed, it is no big deal to Rush Limbaugh just because "THAT ONE" had it accomplished? Icheoku has always said and still maintains that no matter what President Barack Obama does to propagate the interest of the United States of America and move it forward; even if he were to raise a dead president, it cannot and can never be good enough before the Rush Limbaughs of America. People who lack candor and are not decent and magnanimous enough to speak  the truth and acknowledge a meritorious effort when seen. 

It is indeed regrettable and very shocking that this man, Rush Limbaugh drives the conversation in America; especially with journalists that have turned into professional chair-warmers and arm-chair pundits, too lazy to go out into the field to hunt for news. Anyway, Americans know better; and who is on their side and getting things really accomplished and should not allow themselves to be led by the nose by the scoundrel called Rush Limbaugh and his types. What a crazed out dopey irrational jive-head this Rush Limbaugh is that spits the garbage that comes out of his mouth; yet the FCC is still waiting to take him off the airwaves? Talk about a crazed-out person and when you think that Charlie Sheen has no match in cuckoo-land, here comes Rush Limbaugh rushing to the finish line and so far ahead and in front of Mr. Sheen.

RELEASE THE DEATH-PICTURE NOW, THE WORLD CAN HANDLE IT.

Icheoku says do not believe the hype that the photograph is too gory to be released. People die everyday - in motor accidents, plane crashes, shooting, industrial accidents and other killings; some of them have their bodies dismembered too; so the argument of goriness should not be a bar for an opportunity to once and for all, confirm to the world through a photographic evidence that Osama Bin Laden was actually killed and is now finally dead and gone forever. Remember that so many news of his death and/or killing has been heard before so what makes the present any different? Good enough his body was not riddled with bullets nor was it chopped into pieces, so what is the argument here. JUST RELEASE THE DAMN PHOTO and now! 

At worst, the government can fade out his shattered cranium using airbrushing and photoshop; and let the world see his prostrate body from his eyes down. When Ahman Al Zakawi was killed in Iraq, photograph of his body was displayed. When Saddam Hussein's two sons were killed, photographs of their bodies were displayed. Even when the noose was placed on Saddam Hussein's neck, the world saw him being hung, so what is so special and particular about a terrorist's death-photo being shown for the world to see? If the world can take the news of his death, the world can as well take in its photographic evidence without going bunkers. The world is not a peaceful paradise as it is used to blood and brine and a dead Osama Bin Laden will not unreasonably shock the conscience. Icheoku therefore call on President Barack Obama to immediately order the release of Osama Bin Laden's death-picture as the world can take it, goriness or no goriness!

BIN LADEN KILLING, FINALLY IT TOOK AN OBAMA TO GET THE OSAMA!

Icheoku says the real news here and for which many people are and should be celebrating the world over is that it could be done - that America found a needle in a haystack and with a precision seen mostly in Hollywood movies penetrated another country's airspace, got to their target and took his lifeless body away as a trophy and left to safety of their ship all within a record short forty minutes. 

An operation which one commentator/observer described as being "so surreal as to merit a fantasy comparison and which reminded him of the game - 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare'  which he plays on his Xbox." Icheoku says every American as well as decent people all over the world should be proud of what was accomplished; especially the secrecy surrounding the operation despite the notorious Washington DC leaky environment where people sometimes run their mouths of top government secrets? 

The execution of Osama Bin Laden as far as Icheoku is concerned, admitted it is the crown jewelry of the war against terror's crown; is but a side story as Bin Laden was dead the day he poked his terrorist fingers in the eyes of America. Since 9/11, Osama Bin Laden became a dead man walking with a big bulls-eye conspicuously placed on both his forehead and his back, culminating in his final take-out by the American finest - the Navy Seal. Icheoku says congratulations! Icheoku wonders the perplexity and fear that descended on Bin Laden's long narrow face when he was awoken from sleep by the thunderous boots heralding the entrance of the men sent to bring justice to him, still rubbing his eyes to make sure it was not a nightmare or some other bad dream?  But unfortunately for Bin Laden, the nightmare unfolding before his dazed eyes is one from which he will never fully woke up and never did, as he never lived to tell the story; and the rest of it the saying goes is now history. Osama Bin Laden is dead as a door knob and thrown away into the sea like a piece of garbage - the human garbage that he was. Icheoku says may his cold wicked soul now suffer in Hades, vainly longing for those elusive seventy-two virgins which supposedly awaits his despicable types. Hopefully, the huge gaping hole left in the hearts of Americans as well as other peoples of the world impacted by 9/11 will now begin to truly heal and before long the Freedom Towers will fill whatever is left of the physical hole left at World Trade Center, the situ of Bin Laden's wicked strike at the soul of American financial empire. Icheoku says the completion of the Freedom Towers coupled with the death of Osama Bin Laden will make whole the broken hearts and minds and the atmosphere which was fouled by Osama Bin Laden on 9/11. 

However there are some intriguing questions arising from the successful operation to eliminate the world's most notorious mass murderer:- did the Pakistani authorities provide a safe-heaven for Bin Laden and if not or did not know about the devil in their midst, what use then is their security apparatus that a man  so badly wanted would be hiding in plain sight in a neighborhood filled with many security outfits of the Pakistani state and not get noticed? If Pakistan is not a truly failed state and a banana Republic to have had this pulled underneath their nose then Icheoku does not know which other state appositely so qualifies for that acronym? The world's most wanted criminal Osama Bin Laden took up residency among them and was living in their midst for six long years; that the same Osama Bin Laden was take out and his lifeless body which can no longer cause any harm to anybody taken out to its watery grave, without the Pakistanis having a whiff of it? Yet they call themselves a "state" with nuclear weapons when they cannot provide ordinary security to ensure their country's territorial integrity  and safety of its residents including a fugitive from justice Osama Bin Laden?  Secondly, why was Osama not demobilized and taken alive; but this question appears to be now mute as the explanation that it would have resulted in a spectacle of great proportion is plausible. So a dead Osama is as good good as captured Osama as the objective of the whole war on terror was to get him and he was got, so case closed. 

The other issue that drew Icheoku's particular attention is the none release of Osama Bin Laden's dead photographs to serve as closure to his saga? This was the argument made when the two killed sons of Saddam Hussein, Uday and Qasay's bullet ridden bodies were shown both on television and on the pages of newspapers. Icheoku would like Osama's dead photographs to be released to finally shut-up all those conspiracy theorists who still doubt that Osama Bin Laden was finally got this time; despite repeated rumors of his demise in the past; some of which dated as far back as 2001? Please show us the evidence - OSAMA BIN LADEN"S DEAD PHOTOGRAPH! Further why the rush to bury him and in a watery grave? If according to the story, it is to honor his Islamic Muslim tradition, why in the water and not in the sandy earth of the Arabian desert? Again the explanation not to give his fanatical supporters a place of Mecca styled shrine is plausible and acceptable. Icheoku also hopes that his quick dispatch was not to prevent him from spilling the beans on 9/11 as some conspiracy theorists had it that the government might have something to do with 9/11 and just used Bin Laden as a handy-tool and now would not permit him to testify and implicate them? 

The killing of Osama Bin Laden shows that you do not necessarily have to invade a country to get at a terrorist hiding or living among them as Osama Bin Laden was killed and his body spirited out without invading the country which was providing him a place of abode, Pakistan. It is also instructive that several presidents have tried but failed to nail Osama Bin Laden including President Clinton and GW Bush throughout his eight years in office but President Obama finally did and within two and half years in office. But hey, it got done eventually and this is what is important and for which America should be very proud of her accomplishment. Icheoku also hopes that when the men sent to get the King's ransom met Osama Bin Laden, they borrowed a leaf from Godfather the movie and told him that "America sends her greeting"; before firing that shot that became his one way ticket to hell. Now that the snake's head has been finally cut off and the man who allegedly gave Islam a bad name dead, let us hope that militant Islam will come to an end and the world can once again enjoy the peace which eluded it since they were violated on 9/11 by Osama Bin Laden and his hateful Islamic thugs. 

Once again, let the gist of the celebration should not be lost on some people as America is not celebrating the death of a puppy dog terrorist but the feat of our boys that brought about that end - they successfully pulled off one of the biggest human-heist ever recorded in history and for this we all should walk ten feet taller and be proud of our heritage and the country we have grown to love and call home. President GW wanted him dead or alive; but President Obama got him both alive and dead but let us not find closure that the job was finally done and it was an America bullet, an American gun and America special forces that dispatched world terrorist numero uno to the world beyond. If there is ever a time when revenge is sweet, this time is that time and Icheoku joins the rest of Americans and decent people of the world in celebrating a feat that was accomplished by our special forces with our dear President Barack Obama presiding while his national security team provided all the support and cheer leading. Bravo America; this is what the real shock and awe looks and feels like. The dispatch of Osama Bin Laden is another fine feather just added to President Barack Obama's national security credentialed cap. It took an Obama to get the Osama, how about that for rhyme; their similar sounding names notwithstanding. Viva America! Long Live the Republic and may God continue to bless America!

FYI:- Osama Bin Laden was killed in a house where he lived in Thanda Chuha area of Bilal Town in the garrison town of Abbottabad and for the past six years; a house which was less than a kilometer away from Pakistan's Military Academy at Kakul some few miles from Islamabad Pakistan.

BIN LADEN KILLING, MONITORING OPERATION NAIL GERINOMO LIVE!

 Picture they say is more than a thousand words and so did these faces especially Hillary Clinton's confirm the exact time and manner terrorist kingpin Osama Bin Laden was expelled out of this planet. What a picture, taken by a photographer deserving an award for the best picture of the year that captured both the essence and the story of the moment when Osama Bin Laden became history. Icheoku says, ladies and gentlemen, you are seeing the men and woman who run America as they sat in front of monitors, watching an action-hero play out, but this time it is the real thing and not some Hollywood make belief. 


President Barack Obama and his inner circle security team are glued to the screen, watching as the brave and courageous men of the Navy Seal Team Six take justice to Osama Bin Laden in his hideout in Abottabad, Pakistan. The world most wanted terrorist is gone and will never hurt the world again, not any more. Icheoku says it is good that Osama was finally got 'both alive and dead'; admitted his dead body was the preferred mode of delivering the news. What a feat, America; congratulations to the men and women who facilitated this feat!

OSAMA BIN LADEN, DISPATCHED TO MEET HIS TEN VIRGINS?

The message is clear - no one messes with America and goes scott-free! It might take ten long years or even much longer, but so long as you have not left planet earth, Americans gonna get you somehow, somewhere. If in doubt, just ask the lifeless body of fugitive extra-ordinaire and world's most wanted criminal, Osama Bin Laden who eluded capture for a decade but just met his waterloo in the hands of America's justice dispensers - the Navy Seal Team Six! What a proof beyond doubt that American justice has a very long arm and extensive reach that could reach Abottabad to hand Osama Bin Laden his justice check which he cashed immediately. 

Cornered in a mansion where he was hiding in Abottabad Pakistan, possibly with the help of Pakistani security agencies, a marksman put a bullet in his temple and there concluded the saga of the "wanted dead or alive" master terrorist who brought down our twin towers and with it over 2000 dead Americans as well as other citizens of the world. Icheoku says for those who still think that President Barack Obama is weak on national security, there is no proof better than a dead Osama Bin Laden? Congratulations Mister President; it took years but finally, you got it done! 

Icheoku asks, now that the mission has become accomplished, will America withdraw its forces from Afghanistan? Further, with a recovering American economy and the America's most wanted fugitive KILLED, Icheoku says the road to 2012 election seems more smoothly paved for President Barack Obama! America, this president is deliberate and methodical and he gets the job done; so let us easily renew his presidential contract with America in 2012 - four more years for Obama. So let us just hand him four more years - icheoku echoes four more years to President Barack Hussein Obama! Also what a parting gift to Leon Panetta the CIA director who leaves the agency for the Pentagon in a few weeks as the new Defense Secretary. Congratulations also to you, Leon - good job! Icheoku prays that as this notorious terrorist rendezvous with Satan in hell that other more satanic hell-residents shall terrorize him as he did the world, what a piece of shit this lunatic was!

A PRINCE MARRIES A COMMONER!

William Shakespeare once said, some people were born great and some other people have greatness trusted upon them; and so it is that the ancient prophesy of William Shakespeare, once again, came alive with the royal wedding of the British Prince William to a commoner, named Kate Middleton. Icheoku reiterates, what the heavens have put together, let no man put asunder commoner or no commoner and prince or no prince. All that matters is love and since both unequally yoked partners have found love with each other, let everyone butt out and allow the newly wed to enjoy each other. 

Icheoku says congratulations to the newest wed-couple of England and may they find the bliss that eluded the marriage of the Prince's mother Lady Di to his father, Prince Charles. Icheoku is hopeful that they will have a happy marriage and this is bolstered in the fact that this very particular couple found themselves, unlike the arranged and/or imposed marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Di. Icheoku asks, does anyone know if Kate was still a virgin when William met her, since according to tradition, a prince is not supposed to purchase a used vehicle? Just asking since it probably does not and should not matter any longer especially to a modern Prince, whether or not his bride is still wholesome; so please spare Icheoku your lynching stones - just curious!

TUNDE BAKARE, A FAKE AND FALSE PROPHET?

Icheoku says accursed be that man using the name of the Lord in vain and in pursuit of personal and selfish objective not meant to glorify God. A man who hitherto condemned a candidate for being part of a decaying brigade but only to now make a u-turn and accept to run with that same "decaying brigade" as his vice presidential candidate. A man who once said, “Let me tell you the truth by the spirit of God, neither OBJ, Atiku, IBB and this tall one, Buhari, are part of the new. They are part of the old that is decaying. That old one is passing away. The new is emerging and these ones are not part of that new.” 

Icheoku said the self-styled “apostle of Jesus Christ by the Will of God and the Serving Overseer of The Latter Rain Assembly", Pastor Tunde Bakare, is guilty of using God's name in vain in the pursuit of a hidden agenda with Muhammadu Buhari. Otherwise how could he reconcile his interview with the PUNCH Newspapers, October 2, 2006; with his latest failed adventure into Islamic politics of Muhammadu Buhari? Icheoku read a riveting article by one Remi Oyeyemi on a fake pastor called Tunde Bakare. According to Remi Oyeyemi, "for those people who cherish reasonable, rational and logical explanation of actions, Pastor Bakare’s acceptance of Buhari's vice presidency offer was and still is, very confounding.' Icheoku agrees that this commentator nailed the absurdity of  Pastor Tunde Bakare's somersaulting position right on the head. It is as unexplainable and inexplicable as it is very convoluting that a supposed man of God should be so conniving and contriving. 

Continuing, Oyeyemi wrote, "If Tunde Bakare's revelation was authentic and correct, that God revealed to him that Buhari CAN NEVER be elected president of Nigeria, then he has not only engaged in a perfidious act against God, but he has clearly disobeyed God by still joining the condemned ticket from Hell despite his supposed revelation and trying to challenge God's already ordained will. Pastor Bakare has for some time now lied in the name of the Most High and deceived his followers with purported visions and revelations, claiming to see what God did not show him. He is an exposed fraud, a dubious, a dishonest and dangerous character, a deviant whom those who cherish integrity and dignity should stay away from. 

Pastor Bakare is a loser both on the spiritual and temporal realms - his prophesies are false and his visions fake, otherwise he would have foreseen that there is no way in HELL Muhammadu Buhari could have won a Nigerian presidential election and rejected his vice presidential offer. But no, as the fake pastor and false prophet he is, Pastor Tunde Bakare had an earthly agenda to wield power and with it, the spoils of office. No one with knowledge of Nigerian politics and who knows the horrific history of Muhammadu Buhari needs a vision from hell to tell him that Buhari is unelectable; yet Tunde Bakare agreed to be Buhari's vice president." 

Icheoku asks, what changed or was the fake pastor promised a miracle by his God that God will change Buhari's electability status once he picks Bakare as his running mate? Oyeyemi continued, "Tunde Bakare is either dishonest and fraudulent or is an anti-Christ in the garb of a prophet or better still, both of them; otherwise how does anyone try to explain a supposed prophet's acting in diametrical opposite to what his God revealed to him? How could any true man of God ever accept to be on the same presidential ticket with an election reject like Buhari, all his antecedents considered; and  despite already being divinely rejected as Nigeria's president, according to Pastor Tunde Bakare's own typhoid-fever induced vision from HELL. May be Pastor Tunde Bakare is a prophet of convenience and sees his vision as he deems fit? "

In conclusion, Icheoku says instead of this fake pastor and his anemic presidential candidate contesting some perceived election irregularities, they should sit down in a dark room and beat each other silly for not taking the opportunity when it called with the ACN alliance. The failed alliance is the culprit and not a hallucinatory election malpractice; which leaves Icheoku wondering why Pastor Tunde Bakare did not also see the vision that a failed alliance will spell doom for their party? And just for the purposes of argument, how on earth does this fake pastor who could not even win in his own polling booth, now argue that his CPC would have won in South East and South-south when both areas were Jonathan's turf from inception of the campaign? 

Icheoku says that any smart person in Pastor Bakare's shoes, would have been making the argument that his Opebi Ikeja constituency was rigged and not that another man's territory was rigged when he was not there to know for a fact and is thereby acting like the proverbial hen that instead of bending its neck for the knife that killed it choose to bend it for the pot that cooked it? Icheoku says to the fake Pastor Tunde Bakare, President Goodluck Jonathan worked hard for his votes and there is no law limiting the percentile of votes receivable as his people could have given him 101% of their votes for all that Icheoku cares. Pastor Tunde Bakare, why not concentrate your energy on explaining your lack of political utility to the Buhari campaign and how you could not bring any state in Yoruba land to the CPC winning column instead of bothering yourself wasting your energy with what obtained elsewhere.

FETISH GOVERNMENT CHASED OUT, GODFATHER HUMILIATED - WOLE SOYINKA!

Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka has commended the people of Ogun State for taking the path of honor by voting out the government of Olugbenga Daniel which he described as a fetish government. He also applauded the humiliation suffered by Olusegun Obasanjo, whom he described as the master-mafia and political godfather of Olugbenga, in the hands of Ogun State people during this election. It will be recalled that none of Obasanjo's sponsored candidates, including his daughter Iyabo won any of offices they contested.  Icheoku also agrees that this total rejection by the people of Ogun State, of the deity of Otta, is a good omen both for the people of Ogun State as well as the greater Nigerian polity. It has now dawned on the third-termer and master-mafia, 2003 and 2007 election rigger in chief that he is a political leper untouchable, who no body wants nor loves in Ogun State and Nigeria in general. 

On the Imam Muhammadu Buhari's instigated post presidential-election violence in Northern Nigeria, Professor Soyinka said it violated the rules of our mutual existence as a country and called for a code of common behavior, which prescribes distinct punishment for those elements as carried it out and those who engineered it.  While congratulating President Goodluck Jonathan on his election victory, Soyinka said, "despite the hiccups, including under-age voting and improper accreditation of voters, the polls were declared free and fair by domestic and foreign observers. It is my view that the presidential election was won by President Jonathan, based on figures collated." 

The Nobel Laureate also called for downward review of salary and allowance being paid to Nigeria legislators and implored them to consider sitting on part-time basis. Icheoku supports Soyink'a call for Nigeria to have part-time, adhoc and as at need-based legislature like India; composed of people only willing to really serve their fatherland and not who are motivated by the unholy constituency allowances and other incredible take-homes that they collect. This legislators should be paid compensable sitting allowances only when they sit.

OLUSEGUN OBASANJO HUMBLED, CHASED OUT OF YORUBA SOUTHWEST?

 

Icheoku says, from the just concluded Nigeria elections 2011, has emerged the biggest political loser of our time. Olusegun Obasanjo, the self-styled 'do or die' area-boy politician from Otta, whose failed third-term bid, permanently consigned him into Nigeria's most despicable political personalities wasteland won the award. 

The deity of Otta and chicken-farmer, was three times beaten and four times shied in the election. First, his sponsored candidate, Speaker Oladimeji Bankole lost his reelection bid back to the House of Representatives; then his own biological daughter Iyabo Obasanjo lost her Senate re-election bid as she could not sail to victory on her father's supposed mighty wings of destiny. Lastly, came the mother of all loses, the failure of his sponsored governorship candidate, Tunji Olurin, to emerge victorious as the next governor of Obasanjo's home State of Ogun. The result of a house divided among itself that was bound to fall as the fight for control of PDP machinery between Obasanjo and Governor Gbenga led to splinting of the party in Ogun State and thus further weakened an already fledgling party pummeled by an insurgent Bola Tinubu led ACN. This loss by Obasanjo's Tunji Olurin to ACN's Amosun was the biggest slap on the face of Olusegun Obasanjo and Icheoku asks with what face would this man still appear in Ogun State and in Nigeria, after being so politically decimated in his own home turf? 

Icheoku bemoans that Olusegun Obasanjo and Governor Olugbenga Daniel lost Ogun State chiefly by their infighting as neither of them, standing alone was a match to the now confirmed and crowned political successor of the late CHief Obafemi Awolowo in Yorubaland, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Gbenga will now say blame Obasanjo for not letting me win Ogun State for the PDP while Obasanjo will be saying blame that rascal Gbenga for refusing to take my dictation. Icheoku asks how is the mighty OBJ fallen or was this a confirmation that he rigged his party into power in the Yoruba Southwest during the previous elections of 2003 and 2007?  Anyway, the playing field has now been leveled and Obasanjo has once again been rejected by his own Yoruba people of Southwest Nigeria. 

So with the ACN sweep of the five states in Yorubaland, the party has now succeeded Awolowo's UPN as the bona-fide Yoruba regional party with Asiwaju Bolaji Tinubu presiding. Bola Tinubu who, like his predecessor Awolowo, shall never make it in national politics because of certain peculiarities of Yoruba politics of not trusting anyone else but themselves.  Moreso the North will never forgive Bola Tinubu, who they blame for sabotaging Buhari's prospective presidential election; and the Igbos may still have the problem of establishing trust on another Yoruba leader after their experience with Awolowo and Olusegun Obasanjo, whose policies burnt them badly. It is equally instructive that Nuhu Ribadu is still dazed and confused at the treachery he suffered in ACN controlled Yoruba Southwest when he lost woefully in the last presidential election. It is possible that the mallam is smarting to take his vengeance on Tinubu for leaving him high and dry midstream. Icheoku says but who blames Bola Tinubu for taking his revenge on Nuhu RIbadu after the later branded him the worst financial criminal in Nigeria and still dreams of becoming a presidential candidate in the formers political estate, ACN. Anyway, so long OBJ as Icheoku and the rest of Nigeria believes they have heard the last of your scorch and burn politics; 2015 might be too long for a bad man so aged to still be around and relevant. What an election this has been!

DONALD TRUMP'S BIRTHER PARACHUTE, BURSTED MIDAIR!

 

He thought he was running away with the Tea Party Republican presidential nominee ticket; taxing for a take-off and was gradually picking speed when a debris he brought unto the tarmac boomeranged and ruptured his fuel tank. The result, a flight aborted! Icheoku asks, but will that do now? The answer is NOPE, as questioning his place of birth is just the mask of Zorro hiding their real racists motivation and intent. If only the site where Obama's white mother's water broke, as she labored to deliver the boy who later became president, were the case or the real issue here, this released birth certificate would sure do. But unfortunately, there is much more to it than these racists are ready to admit - their actions are largely in part driven by the sight of a "NIGGER" in "their" White House, period. 

Already some of them are saying that the released certificate notwithstanding, that the president inherited his father's place of birth by devolution and so he still remains "THAT ONE" - an outsider and not one of us? Icheoku says these raving cuckoos, in their raging fixation on the president, selectively forgot that so many American women are single-mothers, some of who does not even know who their baby-daddies are or their whereabouts. Icheoku asks, does this unknowns now disqualify their children from being Americans or is there something subliminal being telegraphed by this coded birther-message regarding a unique circumstantial president with an "Arab terrorist" sounding name? So, why the selective sitting in judgment on President Obama over the issue of his place of birth and/or that he supposedly inherited his father's Kenya place of birth?

To these racist birther-crowd, Icheoku says, it is un-American for you to be seeing red just because a black-man is your president and in your White House. For you, it does not matter what the president does, he can never do right by you; and even if the president produces his placenta, with born in Hawaii stamped on it, or even a video recording of his mother giving live-birth to him, it will still not matter as something else is maniacally driving their attempt at a cheap short-sale. For these people, the only way President Barack Obama can satisfactorily prove his "American-ness" is to resign from office and leave "their" White House for them. But so long as they are continuously confronted by the president's "unsightly" presence in their White House, that long will they continue to manufacture stuff after stuff to try and damage a man with a wholesome stellar records that powered his meteoric rise to power. It is racism, it is envy, it is jealous and it is all the bad intentions put together that is providing the energy which powers these people who are fond of preaching tolerance to the rest of the world? Just do what I say but never judge what I do myself. 

It is akin to someone asking another person to provide him with a snake's hind-legs or better still to give him palm-oil to enable him eat palm-fruit. No matter how you try, it cannot happen and if it happens, it is not good enough. It is just impossible to satisfy them within any reasonable conduct or act other than turning cold forever. These birther-mob just want to rid "their" White House of the "infestation of a NIGGER", period; as any other thing or attempt at explanation of different motive is an untruth. The fact of the matter is that America is still full of racist people despite the coats of "equal this and equal that" sloganeering paint they layer on themselves; so it does not matter what the president does or produces now to put paid to their 'silliness', these people will always invent one myth or another to try to denigrate President Obama. His sin is his skin-color and as far these loonies are concerned, no black man is good enough for anything, talkless of occupying their White House! And they are as loud as humming birds and as chirpy as crickets, so you cannot ignore them even if you wanted; so the president was right in throwing their downer back at them and lets see what they will pull out of their magic hats next.

Icheoku prays that these birthers, who recently found a new cheerleader in Donald Trump, will now cease and desist from further exhibition of their ignorance and lack of a comprehensive education to understand the age-long message that the president is an American-born American. Unfortunately, Donald Trump has intentionally shouted himself hoax with misleading statements, questioning the burial site of the president's umbilical cord as well as his foreskin or did Icheoku hear him question if the president was even circumcised? Some analysts opined that the real reason why the Donald Trump led birther crowd grew so loud in recent weeks was to bait the president into releasing his original birth certificate to see if his religion was listed as ISLAM so that they can run with a war-cry that the president is a MUSLIM? Yet America is supposed to be the land of the free and home of the brave where religious freedoms are respected and is no inhibition to any pursuit? Finally, with the president's birthplace-myth now conclusively laid to rest, Icheoku and the rest of the world will be waiting to see how Donald Trump's egotistic ambition survives without his birther-parachute.  A hitherto lifeline to a campaign that was DOA, now shredded midair; and you wonder how much longer The Donald will still provide some comic relief to endangered news-houses and their lazy arm-chair journalists who thrive in frivolities rather than hard-core news reporting. Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia is burning and all you hear and see is Donald Trump flying the kite of birther and you wonder why you still subscribe to your television service. What a dupe this Donald Trump is, that deliberately misled those Tea Party Jim Crows into believing that at last, their knight in shinning armor has come to prove that the president's long suspected "deceit" of the American people that he was born in America is indeed false and that the president is a stranger from Mars and ineligible to be president.

BUHARI MARS AN OTHERWISE GOOD ELECTION, VOTERS APATHY REPLACED BY UNDERAGE VOTERS?

 

Reports reaching Icheoku from motherland has it that so many voters stayed away from the polling votes in the governorship/state assembly election, with less than 15% of registered voters showing up in some precincts. It was so abysmal in some areas that underage teenagers were freely handed voting ballots just to fill in the gaps. 

The low voter turnout was blamed on the violence perpetrated by Imam Muhammadu Buhari incensed almajiri-miscreants, who maimed and killed hundreds of fellow Nigerians just because their chief mullah lost the presidential election. Also the low voter turnout was caused in part because the election was fixed so close to the Easter holidays when so many people traveled out of their registered areas to be with their families for the holidays. Icheoku queries why the election was fixed so near the holiday and not a later future date to ensure a good turnout? If elections were postponed in the past, common sense dictates that the gubernatorial/state assembly election should have been similarly deferred to make room for traveled voters to come back as well as for spooked voters to come out of their shock and get a handle on Buhari's instigated violence, before coming back out to vote. 

Icheoku asks, would the result of such election conducted under the prevailing fear circumstance, with very low voter turnout hold as the true representation of the people's will? Icheoku says, we do not think so; and hereby call on INEC to consider cancelling the governorship/state assembly elections and reschedule them for a later date if that will help solve the credibility question. Lastly, Icheoku says that Imam Muhammadu Buhari should be held responsible for spoiling an otherwise good election. Buhari has by festering post-presidential election violence damaged the psyche of an otherwise enthused Nigerian populace, eagerly appearing at every past election to chose their preferred candidates. Buhari and no one else should be held responsible for the low turnout in the gubernatorial/state assemblies election and be extension, marred an otherwise peaceful, free and fair election just because he was rejected by Nigerians and thereby prevented from implementing his Islamic Sharia agenda in Nigeria. Muhammadu Buhari, Icheoku says, shame on you!

TAKE BUHARI OFF THE STREETS NOW - PASTOR AYO ORITSEJAFOR

 

"People like General Muhammadu Buhari and others like him should not be allowed to roam the streets of this country because they are part of the confusion that has enveloped the nation today. The problem the nation is currently facing is as a result of the inciting utterances of certain individuals including Buhari who, for example, called on his supporters to protect their votes and lynch anybody attempting to rig the elections" - Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. Icheoku says Nigeria has found yet another manly-man in this Pastor Oritsejafor and prays that credible men of God like him do not falter; unlike the fake Pastor Tunde Bakare who got blinded by the smell of porridge and is following evil to doomsland. Way to go Pastor, speak up and Icheoku concurs that Imam Muhammadu Buhari caused the mayhem in the land and should be punished for that!

DONALD TRUMP IS A JOKE CANDIDATE - KARL ROVE.

Icheoku the GOP presidential wanna-bes' arena has suddenly turned into a circus, featuring another clown named "The Donald" - a political clown that is. Never in the recent history of American politics especially the Republican Party presidential selection/nomination process has personal ego been this boisterously, blatantly and vagrantly in display. A man who could easily pass for a business equivalent of a con-artist, now wants to be president of the United States of America? Wonders shall never end that made Mr. "Weird-Hair" to dream of also becoming a GOP presidential nominee in 2012. Icheoku says if Donald Trump is all that the right wing Tea Party and their greater Republican Party ally have for the 2012 presidential contest, may the election be fast-forwarded and brought forward now. Let the battle for the White House begin today! 

The irony of it all is that The Donald is hobnobbing with the extremist Tea Party wing of the Republican Party and his liberal antecedents considered, one wonders when The Donald developed enough conservative and right winger credentials to covet their presidential ticket? The 2008 Republican Party's loss to Democratic Party's President Barack Obama was blamed by the Rush Limbaugh wing of the Republican Party on Senator John McCain's RINO credentials? Their theory is that the then presidential candidate John McCain lost to Barack Obama because he is not conservative enough but merely republican by name only? His not being conservative and republican enough made it impossible for him to attract enough republican party faithfuls and their followers' votes to defeat Barack Obama. Icheoku wonders if such a party as is still nursing its loss in the 2008 presidential election will again make the same mistake of nominating a "questionable" conservative as their nominee going into the 2012 presidential election? If Arizona Senator John McCain is a RINO, then this New York City big fish and socialite extraordinaire must then be a "RINO squared" and Icheoku does not think that they will settle for such a gamble.

A twice divorced and three times married; three times corporate bankrupt and a pro-lifer wanting to be the Tea Party Republican Party's presidential nominee in 2012 is rather a wishful thinking as his chances are rather long fetched. Icheoku wonders what then would be left of these conservative right-wingers values should "The Donald", with such a liberalizing credentials, ever secures their presidential ticket. The good news however is that the word conservatism have to first change its meaning or be standing on its head before a man who have severally failed in both his family and business life would be allowed to fly the flag of conservatism into the 2012 Republican election battle.  Icheoku is however assuaged by the fact that The Donald does not stand a chance in hell among other more conservative credentialed prospective candidates, talkless of ever being allowed by the Republican Party establishment to fly its flag in the election; so Mr Loudmouth can trumpet his candidacy to high heavens but he is going no where. Icheoku says Donald Trump will not be the nominee of the Republican Party in 2012 and if, will not even win one state as he will be the final undertaker of the Republican Party's election victory funeral as we know it. 

To compound matters more, The Donald is flying a time worn 'birther-kite' that has long since been so discredited that even Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, herself a former birther, has since had her epiphany and realized that those birther-crowd are hovering on the lunatic fringe and refused to sign into law a birther bill that was recently sent to her desk. Icheoku says this is the cesspool where a presidential wanna-be is suddenly jumping in and wants to be taken serious? According to Governor Jan Brewer, "I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for president of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their 'early baptism or circumcision certificates' ... This is a bridge too far;" yet Mr. Trump is barreling along, headlong, on a course so discredited and so cliched that its apostles look more insane than insanity; and this is despite facts of consequences to his knowledge that the alleged is a falsity. 

A loan defaulter who had filed successive business bankruptcy and was once on the verge of personal bankruptcy  now wants to be president of the United States of America or is it the proverbial American Dream on steroids? A man who was barred by creditors from having any role in the day-to-day operations of his then bankrupt Trump Plaza Hotel because of debt issues, arising from poor management skills now wants to be president of the United States of America? The Donald who once owed a $900 million personal debt wants to be president of the United States of America, touting his business and financial acumen as his selling points? A man forced to pony up his Westside yards parcel of land because of money issues now wants to be president of the United States of America? A man who SEC in 1999, filed a financial reporting case against, for several "misleading statements in earnings" wants to be president of the United States of America? A man who was forced out of his CEO position in his Trump Hotels and Casino because of his mediocre-styled management wants to be president of the United States of America? A man who once avoided making payments on a loan from Deutsche Bank and who was referred to as "no stranger to overdue debt" by the creditor wants to be president of the United States of America? 

Anyway, Donald Trump's presidential run appears dead on arrival as he has already been rejected by the Republican Party establishment, with Club for Growth summarizing his candidacy thus - "Donald Trump for President? You've got to be joking." The architect himself, the oracle of Republican Party politics and the man who made a dumb, president; a highly skilled political operative who once told a Senator wanna-be witch to better remain in her coven, has opined on The Donald's plan as a huge joke. Bush's brain, Karl Rove, a man, love him or hate him, is a political genius, has given his summation on the planned presidential run of The Donald and it is not good news for The Donald. Karl Rove simply put, called The Donald a "joke candidate" and who is better to know a viable presidential candidate than the man who made GW, president against all odds?  When such an oracle speaks, those who have ears listen and fall in line; otherwise they get themselves roasted alive politically. Icheoku believes The Donald's bloated ego will not prevent him from seeing reason and listen to the candid word of advise from the man who knows what it takes to get someone elected president of the United States of America. Karl Rove said that The Donald does not have what it takes and Karl Rove is always right, especially with Republican Party politics. 

While Icheoku and the rest of America wait for this Mister Weird-Hair to finally make up his mind and pull that hare out of his stringy hair, we beg of him to stop his malicious, intentional and deliberate misleading of the American right wing Tea Party dumbs and dumbers; regurgitating a time-worn out fable that the president is a starry-eyed stranger not born in America but in some distant land somewhere in the Africa's outback. Icheoku says it is so disingenuous of The Donald to still be flying the kite of birther-theorists in 2011 three years after it first debut and was debunked, knowing same to be false and misleading, but only in his vain dream of becoming the Republican Party Tea Party nominee.  Icheoku says it is about time Mister "You are Fired", fires himself from contention by not entering the race or he will have the American people do the firing this time at the polls or even during the party's primaries. However, Icheoku strongly believes that Donald Trump is just teasing Americans with his presidential run and enjoying the attendant publicity, but will not run! But just in case he is so freaky and delusional enough to carry on and march on into the battle field, Icheoku advises the Republican Party to look for a more viable candidate but not the "joke candidate" to fly their elephant flag in the 2012 presidential election except they want to hand President Barack Obama a golden parachute to cake-walk and sail into his second term.
