Icheoku advises the Governor Rick Perrys of America, including their Joe-Plumber, to get over it and instead plan for the next 2012 election! Alternatively, they should all proceed on self-imposed exile to the Australian-outbacks and wait-out this President Barack Obama's administration. It is called protesting the government which you cannot tolerate? But for you to remain within the United States shores and be very unruly and/or try to intimidate the will of the majority will not work. Hopefully a crazed-out lunatic amongst you will not rise to try something stupid, as such will not be acceptable and may be the beginning of the end for every ongoing frustrations within the populace.

NIGERIA, NEITHER CHECKS NOR BALANCES? - an article by Chinedu Vincent Akuta
In Senegal , the opposition defeated the president’s party in the local elections in the capital Dakar and other key cities. The son of the president of Senegal (Karim Wade) lost election as a result of this defeat. In Kenya and Zimbabwe , the opposition has made a serious in road into the government. Active opposition parties are an essential part of every democracy. In Nigeria , it appears the opposition parties do not have any bite on the ruling party. The minority leadership at both houses (Senate and House of Representatives) are supposed to be the arrow head of opposition. However it appears the opposition parties are not in existence. Even though the opposition party members are only small in number, their impact should be felt in the National Assembly and the nation at large.
Thanks to the Nigerian judiciary for some of their checks on the executive arm, including all their efforts at saving the nations democracy. They have done us proud, especially with the installation of the rightful candidates that won various elections. Nigerians would wish that the legislature could borrow a leaf from the judiciary and provide enough checks and balances on the executive. More of these checks should be provided by the opposition parties. The essence of every opposition is to form a shadow government. That is a government in waiting. They opposition parties in Nigeria should be able to speak the minds of the masses since the PDP (Peoples Destruction Party) has compromised itself.
The Nigerian press (print and electronic) has done marvellously well too, for without them a lot would have gone wrong. We are grateful to them for exposing all corrupt politicians. Nigerians are also happy for their own checks and balances on other arms of government. More is needed from them. The government at all levels need to be checked. This will help avoid excesses on the executive, the legislature or the judiciary. The extent of the decay in our polity requires that many Nigerians should get involved with the checks and balances. The condition in Nigeria is critical. Therefore I suggest all and sundry to start the process of checks on our government. Nigerians can do this in some many ways.
I suggest a coming together or a coalition of all the opposition parties, all related NGO’s, Civil Organizations, Trade Unions, Students Union, political activist(s), patriotic Nigerians, and Regional groups etc. with their combined skills and strengths, they can help in putting back Nigeria in the right track. I was glad when I saw the former governor of Lagos State , Lateef Jakande forming a coalition of about 30 opposition parties. I suggest all the groups mentioned above to unite and rally behind this coalition. There is an urgent need to work together at this critical stage in Nigeria politics. Please let all the groups mentioned above set aside their ideological differences and unify to provide a strong support base and lifeline to the minority parties/minority leadership at the National Assembly, including the states Houses of Assembly.
More Nigerians should start to speak out or send petitions to the authorities. Writing letters/petition can change policies. The pen is mightier than sword. Amnesty International members’ worldwide uses letter writing to lobby for improvements in human right conditions. More Nigerians need to start doing this. Send a petition to whoever is representing your constituency at the House of Representative or your Senator. If for some reasons some people cannot speak or write, I suggest they should identify themselves with NGO’s, groups, civil organisations etc which will project their views to the authorities. Non participation is the worst. It’s better for us to try and fail than not making any efforts.
All capable hands need to be on deck in reshaping Nigeria . The task of doing this will be too enormous for a little few to do. No changes can take place except Nigerians work for it. We should not expect a miracle without making efforts. With our combined efforts, the present leadership will have no choice but to yield to popular demand which are, electoral reforms, passing of freedom of information bill, removing immunity clauses, regular power supply, etc. May God bless Nigeria .

SLOW DOWN, LIFE IS TOO SHORT! - a poem by a dying girl!

UCHE EKWUNIFE, AN OBASANJO MISTRESS?
According to Uche Ekwunife, “Obasanjo was a noble President and one of the best Presidents this country has ever had". Icheoku says the head that arrived at this benumbing conclusion deserves a special observation at the intensive unit of a psychiatric ward? Such a person as vomitted this sacrilegous contemptible praise of Olusegun Obasanjo needs an emergency head-intervention by a shrink; and because of this, Uche Ekwunife has now joined issues with Icheoku.com, and how it will be resolved might as well be anybody's guess? Our conclusion is either this woman is mental or her assessment of the worst leader ever to walk the earth in Nigeria is beclouded by certain perculiarites which no other Nigerian understands? Madam Obasanjo-Mistress, Icheoku asks, what is the basis or road travelled to reach the conclusion that Olusegun Obasanjo is both "noble" and the "best"? Such fanatical assessment of Olusegun Obasanjo is evidential of an obsession of a raving lunatic romantic; and Icheoku asks, is this "whore" the only person in Nigeria who have not heard that Olusegun Obasanjo is corruption personified? What is noble in a person who sleeps with his son's wife and daughter-inlaw? The people of Odi and Zaki-Ibiam also disagree with Uche Ekwunife that Obasanjo is the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria? Olusegun Obasanjo ceded Bakassi Nigerians to Cameroon, so Uche Ekwunife tell these Nigerians from Bakassi that your Olusegun Obasanjo is it? Uche Ekwunife, tell Nigerians that Olusegun Obasanjo, who spent $16 billion dollars on electricity and all Nigeria got was darkness, is the best president they ever had? Uche Ekwunife, where did your "noble" Olusegun Obasanjo get the capital to resucitate his moribound Obasanjo Farms into its present multi-billion naira conglomerate? Uche Ekwunife, take your gospel of Olusegun Obasanjo to Bola Ige's family and tell them that Olusegun Obasanjo who had their Attorney General Bola Ige killed, is the best thing to ever happen to them? Icheoku needs a suspension of disbelief to agree with Uche Ekwunife that Oulsegun Obasanjo, under whose presidency over 20,000 Nigerians perished, including the bomb victims in Lagos, is the best president Nigeria ever had? And if these forgoing criminalities of Olusegun Obasanjo were not enough to otherwise persuade the opinion of this Uche Ekwunife, what about Olusegun Obasanjo's imposition on Nigeria of the deathly sick weakling from Katsina, President Umaru Yar'Adua? Madam Towncrier-Obasanjo, what are the facts or basis for your forlorn praise-singing of the deity of Otta, Olusegun Obasanjo? Were Nigeria to be Pakistan, where family's honor is forcibly maintained, this lying daughter of Anambra would have met an entirely different fate for such a ridiculous and shameful misrepresentation of a bold-faced lie? Hopefully she will retract her odious statement before it becomes her nemesis in the next election; except her people of Njikoka/Dunukofia/Anaocha Federal constituency of Anambra State are in tandem with her assessment of the monster of Otta? The people of her contituency must disavow this woman's vile statement and have her recalled or vote her out of office to put a distant disclaimer that she spoke under the influence of her love for Obasanjo and/or may be some other substance; but definitely not on behalf of their constituency. Our searchlight on this woman, shows that she is the deputy chairman of the public accounts committee, in the Nigerian House of Representatives? What perfect fit in a congress known for its rancid corruption? According to this lecherous daughter of a goon, the House of Representatives should not have indicted the former president for the $16 billion dollars power contract corruption; but should take a second look at the indictment of President Olusegun Obasanjo by the Report of the Ndudi Elumelu-led Committee on Power? In her own butt-naked shameless words, “ the Committee (on power) shouldn’t have indicted Obasanjo, because the projects were not directly handled by him. Obasanjo, instead of being indicted for what he didn’t handle directly, needs to be commended”? Icheoku says, this woman must be in a hallucinatory cocoon where the reality around her is warped otherwise what efforts did Olusegun Obasanjo make to advance the fortunes of the country, for which Nigeria should be grateful to him? Nigerians do not need to learn to appreciate such a village headmaster as Obasanjo who caused more calamities than any good during his eight years of infamy in Nigeria. And assuming Obasanjo did his best according to this Madam Obasanjo Mistress , Icheoku says, his best was not good at all, talkless of being good enough? Uche Ekwunife is also, borrowing a phrase from Rush Limbaugh, a Femi-Nazi " to the core! According to her, at the rate women are going, very soon the men would surrender to them. I believe that women are more articulate and coordinated? Icheoku asks, does this woman have a real-man or a girlie-man house-boy for a husband? Uche Ekwunife believes in the mundane and the superstition. According to Uche Ekwunife, the people of Dzuma Town should undertake serious prayers and fasting in order to avert future occurrence of the fire-spitting volcanic eruption? If such heart that speaketh on this lowly terms merited her position, it must be for lack of any competent and capable opposition? But no, as the area in Anambra State has a reasonable qualified manpower which adds impetus to the snippets that Olusegun Obasanjo had to approve her candidacy, in the manner which only Olusegun knows how? Like Olusegun Obasanjo's advocacy to use African Black magic (Juju) to fight then apartheid government of South Africa; Uche Ekwunife now advocates unorthodox means, prayer, as a panacea to ward off volcanoes and stop future occurrence of the phenomenon ? She spoke against the backdrop of the volcanic eruption in Dzuma Town in Hong Local Government of Adamawa State? And this slot represents some people? Icheoku asks this woman to please throw more lights on how anyone can stop such a mother-nature's rage? Uche Ekwunife is also an anti-gay federal legislator in Nigeria! She was a co-sponsor of a bill outlawing homosexuality in Nigeria, which the then president Olusegun Obasanjo had sent to the National Assembly to prohibit same-sex marriage in Nigeria! Uche Ekwunife also co-sponsored House Bill 150,( A BILL FOR AN ACT TO PROHIBIT MARRIAGE BETWEEN PERSONS OF SAME GENDER, SOLEMNIZATION OF SAME AND FOR OTHER MATTERS RELATED THEREWITH). Uche Ekwunife is also a no-respecter of the law, judiciary or judicial process? Reacting to a court notice to cease and desist from further action on the Elumelu Power sector probe, a matter pending before the house, Uche Ekwunife said, "the House was not aware of any injunction and no court injunction can stop us from considering the report even if there is one”. And this is the woman serving as a federal legislator when she has absolutely no regard for the rule of law, which laws she was "elected" to make? Uche Ekwunife also supports Maurice Iwu, the election-truncator? She wants the INEC chairman's stay in office to be elogated ? Anyway, this would appear understandable as she is felicitating with the hatchet man who facilitated her "selection" into the House of Representatives in a quid pro quo fashion? Icheoku wonders how many federal presence and developmental projects she has so far attracted to her constituncey ever since she was "selected" to represent them in Abuja? In fact this woman's reality is so strangely different from that of the majority of rational Nigerians that she deserves to be confined to a lunatic asylum.

FEDEX 419 SCAM, WATCH OUT!
2. The amount purportedly ready to be sent to you in this parcel, pictured right, is stated at $2 million dollars bankers check and you wonder why you?

5. Their grammar is puerile and should be enough to raise the red-flag as they could not even spell customer in "customer service hours" above correctly? Also their unceasing request for the $190 dollars will tip you off, of some weird desperation by these folks in Nigeria. A reasonable person would expect, if you have $8million dollars with you to give away, why are you demanding for a "paltry" $190 dollars from someone else? Why not just keep the largess to yourself or give it to your family member? But that is the spam, they just want to fleece you of your $190 dollars, period!
Now a little read of the offensive 419 scam letter,

Now, so many things are wrong with this criminal Nigeria 419 scam mail, but suffice it to say that the real Fedex charges shippers upfront fees for their services, before taking delivery of any parcel for shipment. Real Fedex do not second-guess the cost of freight as they have measures and scales to weigh the parcels correctly for shipments. In other words real Fedex provide to a shipper the actual cost of shipment which is normally paid upfront before receiving and shipping such parcel. But these criminals are so desperately looking for your $190 that their air-heads forgot this cardinal policy of Fedex! Also if it were the real Fedex, whatever money they ask or receive should be payable to their corporate account and not to one faceless criminal somewhere in Lagos Nigeria?
You have now been put on notice, so do not let these Nigeria 419 criminals get hold of you as there is no parcel to be sent to you from their "Fedex"? They are fraudsters and like virus are hiding under a look-alike Fedex name to try to scam you. Give them a bloody nose, delete any such received mail from FedexExpress Nigeria or simply forward them to abuse@fedex.com. Do not fall prey to their mediocre scam tactics, Icheoku has warned you!
YOUR SUNDAY WITH PROPHET MKO TIBETAN!

SOMALIA PIRATES, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S 3.00AM RED-PHONE CALL?
The president was calm, cool and collected as he took the red phone; and was briefed on the developing story. President Barack Obama is presently working with his national security team to find the best possible solution to resolve the crisis; as their options may be limited by the presence of a hostage. Icheoku wishes the president, a King Solomon's wisdom in finding the most effective solution to the crisis as well as a safe return of the captain of the ship, Richard Phillips of Vermont, who has been taken hostage by the Somalian criminals. According to inside sources, President Barack Obama is getting regular updates on the situation and the United States will take whatever steps are needed to protect U.S. shipping interests against pirates in the Somalian waters or other waters anywhere? However the good news is that the US crew members have since recaptured their ship but the captain is still being held hostage by the attackers. The pirates with their hostage are currently adrift and floating in a life boat on the Indian ocean within the perimeters where the Maersk Alabama was assaulted.
Like 9/11, the Somalian pirates have bitten more than they can chew as their days of carefree hijacks of ships off the Somalian coast has now come to an end. This particular hijack is a finger-pointing in the face of America and as always, America stands tall and proud not to be pointed at by little Somalian rascals. There will be consequences for this thoughtless act of hijacking one ship too many. No one messes with the Americans, ask Bin Laden and his thugs! However it ends, the outcome will make these pirates think twice before trying to seize any other ship; especially when that ship is an American registered ship!
Somalian pirates usually go to sea in open skiffs with outboard engines, working in concert with larger ships that tow them out to sea. Using satellite navigational and communications equipment, and with very intimate knowledge of their local waters, the pirates, usually armed with AK47s, clamber aboard ships with ladders and grappling hooks to foment their hostage-taking and ransom trouble? Icheoku concludes that these pirates might have taken their last ship in life; as their lives may end with this or they will forever be put out of commission as a consequence! Either way, they deserve their fate, as they brought the mighty American searchlight to beam on them menacingly.

ALBERTO FUJIMORI, A PRESIDENT CORNERED AND CAGED!
Alberto Fujimori, once hailed as the president who extinguished Peru's brutal guerrilla conflict, was found guilty of waging a dirty war against insurgents, kidnappings and massacres. Presiding Judges dismissed his claim that he had not known of extrajudicial killings and persecutions during his ten-year war against Maoist guerrillas? Icheoku says, this lame defense is akin to despots all over the world, who suddenly become naive and ignorant of their dealings while in office, once they fall from power. Like Nigeria's Olusegun Obasanjo who now claims that he did not know that his then vice president Abubarkar Atiku and others took bribes from Halliburton?
At 70 years old, the same age-range with Obasanjo, Fujimori is no longer a springs' chicken and with a possible 30 years sentence for his crimes, his life is now definitely over. Alberto Fujimori's campaign of “policy of pacification” against Shining Path during his 1990-2000 presidency, claimed the lives of more than 70,000 Peruvians? Icheoku says, how many Nigerians Obasanjo took their lives, directly or indirectly, is indeterminate; but suffice it that the well publicised Odi and Zaki Ibiam bloody suppressions are more than enough to put this monster of Otta, away for good? Fujimori's "I did not personally do it" defense fell flat as the prosecutor argued that his failure, as commander-in-chief, to stop the killings amounts to personal responsibility. Icheoku concurs with this valid legal argument of vicarious liability; as president, the bulk stopped on his desk! Fujimori was specifically found guilty of murder in the 1991 killings of 15 people, including an eight-year-old boy, at a barbecue in Lima, the Peruvian capital; as well as the 1992 raid at La Cantuta University that left nine students and a professor dead. Their charred bodies were found a year later after the incident. Like Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria, Alberto Fujimori was seen as a strongman with little respect for democracy and rule of law. What an act of fate that this two former presidents shared so much in common and should invariably be made to partake in the same fate, - a trial and jail term also for Olusegun Obasanjo? It is noteworthy that Fujimori is already serving six years in prison for abuse of power in relation to some bribery scandal and still faces two corruption trials, the first of which is due to begin next month in May. Human Rights Watch applauded the trial verdict as the first time that a democratically elected president had been brought to justice in his own country; and such promises to end “the tendency that has existed in Latin America for many years of impunity in the face of these type of crimes”. Icheoku adds, if only Nigeria could summon the courage to engrave her name in such a historic way by applying the full letters of the law to every citizen, including an errant former President Olusegun Obasanjo!

KEVIN GARNER, WHO STILL WANTS A DIVORCE?
Icheoku says this animal, Kevin Garner, pictured right, deserves the hottest place in burning hell for dispatching God's children to earlier graves, especially during this Holy week of Easter? A popular word of wisdom says, 'what you cannot afford to loose is not worth having' but this selfish mass murderer, it would appear never advised himself accordingly? With what happened in Alabama today, FGA Law Firm should find alternative areas of practice, or better still change their marketing campaign advertorial. Enough of this lunacy!
