BURQAS IN FRANCE, PRESIDENT SARKOZY SAYS NO!

Icheoku supports wholly, the stand of French President Nikolas Sarkozy, rejecting the Islamic dress-code for women, burqa, in France!

It is man's inhumanity to man and debasing of another human-being under the subterfuge of religion. It is dehumanising to force a fellow human being to be under a perpetual cloak of body-covering, irrespective of the searing temperature of her operating environment. Worst still, many of these peering eyes long for some allowance to express themselves and show-off their beautiful figures, but which the mullahs will not tolerate under their warped, subjugated interpretation of the Koran? We have researched this dress-code in the Koran, but came short of any masquerade-like, head to toe, total covering prescription for the women folks? The necessary question is, why hide beauty beneath the mask? Why put a light under a bushel? Why not glorify the creator with exhibition of the wonderful art of nature, usually hidden beneath the layers of covering?

While branding the face-covering, body-length gown known as burqa, a symbol of subservience that suppresses women's identities and turns them into "prisoners behind a screen, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, declared the Islamic burqa is not welcome in France! Icheoku says, hurray, the way to go Mr. President and hopefully your weighty voice will empower all Muslim women all over the world to forcefully kick out the clothing enslavement? In Sarkozy's very own words, "In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity. The burqa is not a religious sign, it's a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement — I want to say it solemnly. It will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic." Icheoku says, good speak President Sarkozy; it is about time somebody spoke out against a practice, which time has come to be junked into historical artifact.

Why cover a light? Let France be for the French and anyone who does not want to comply with 'French dress-code' or is so infatuated with the burqa; let such a fanatic return to her country of origin in the Middle East. There she can be as enslaved as she might wish; but to remain in France and wear scary garbs is unacceptable and this is the gist of President Sarkozy's speech? Where in the Muslim world would a woman be allowed to wear bikinis or revealing outfits, yet they will not respect Western civilization and its dress-code but chose to scare the daylight out of our kids, completely masked and parading our streets and shopping malls?

Icheoku says, whether such a ban would create tensions or not is irrelevant as when in Rome, do like the Romans? In France, all must strive to be French, period! Has anybody in the Western hemisphere ever thought about women wearing micro-minis in the Middle East or even considered possible conflict or tension? Their draconian laws on dress-code is total and absolute; and does not have any room for consideration of tension or conflict; so why must it always be the west being called upon to make accommodations? Our take is that if anyone is so interested in entombing herself while still alive, let the person move back to the Middle East but should leave the French alone?

It will be recalled that the French just went a step further from the Dutch government which last year described the burqa and other clothing that covers the face, as "undesirable," but stopped short of a ban because of concerns of possible religious discrimination? Kudos to the French, whose president is continuously proving to have the desired balls, needed of a leader. Once again, Icheoku affirms the righteousness and correctness of the French President Nikolaz Sarkozy's courageous position on a divisive and scary outfits!

NEDA SOLTANI, THE FACE OF IRANIAN DEMOCRATIC STRUGGLE!

As Neda Soltani pays the supreme sacrifice with her blood, protesting the emasculation of democracy in Iran, Icheoku says, the Iranian people must not allow her death to be in vain. She is the stuff, heroines are made of and we hope she is accorded that recognition with some form of immortalization?

Irrespective of how the current political imbroglio is eventually finally resolved, Ms. Neda has proved with her life that certain things are worth dying for; and having died for democracy in Iran, she will forever be remembered by democratic enthusiasts world-wide particularly in Iran as that brave lady who laid down her life for the sake of democracy.

Did she die well? You bet! Did she lay down her life for a just cause? We think so! Everybody, including all those mullahs of Tehran will someday die including the trigger-happy rogue state-agent who surreptitiously fired the shot that took the life of Neda Soltani. To die is to make that needed transition, so let her family not grieve so much as she has now moved on to the next realm. For the grieving family, we say, please accept our condolence and know that Neda died for a worthy cause. Icheoku says, it shall not be well for all those 'leaders' of this world who use brute force to maintain their stranglehold on power; and even kill their people just to remain in power. Should Neda have died for peacefully protesting what she believed to be a sham election? No, but in a tyrannical society where brute force rules, anything goes?

Icheoku condemns the Iranian government's refusal for the family of Neda Soltani to publicly mourn the loss of their daughter, as a vindictive act of aggression on a dead Iranian person. She is dead already, killed by her Iranian government, so why deny her a right to a public funeral as desired by her family? The issue of public security or safety should have not triumphed the need to accord respect to the dead; so the Iranian authorities would have saturated the funeral cortege with their security operatives and allow Neda to be buried as pleasing to her family and not hamstring it. To the new face of Iranian democratic struggle, Icheoku says, Adieu brave lady and may your Allah receive your gentle soul in paradise!

HALLIBURTON BRIBERY, TODAY IS OKILO'S DATE WITH HISTORY?

Eight weeks ago, the Nigeria Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro, promised to publicly name the corrupt Nigerian officials implicated in the gut-wrenching $180 million dollars Halliburton' bribery scandal? IG Mike Okiro had spoken in his capacity as head of an empanelled commission to investigate the bribery scandal?

Today June 22, 2009 is the last day in the promised eight weeks period and marks the day of the promised disclosure. Icheoku says, if by the end of work today, no such disclosure is made by the Inspector General of Police in keeping to his promise, then there is no hope for Nigeria? Barring this disclosure, Nigerian officials including this Inspector General of Police Mike Okiro will henceforth be seen as shriveling lying scum-bags, whose words means nothing.

Their silence will be interpreted as an effort to cover up the scandal and protect the big guns who were neck-deep in the bribery, including several former heads of state and government, presidents and ministers and legislators. What will this do to the already sullen image of Nigeria but sink it deeper into the pariah state which it is accelerating into. Nigeria deserves better and the world will like to know what became of the anti-corruption effort of the current government?

Icheoku therefore calls on President Umaru Yar'Adua to compel the Inspector of Police, Mike Okiro to disclose these bribe-takers in the name of re-branding Nigeria! It is imperative and the right thing to do as nothing less will be satisfactory!

SWINE FLU WEDDING, LOVE CONQUERS EVERYTHING?

What love has put together, not even the deadly swine flu can put asunder; and so is it that this infected couple had to say their "I do" behind surgical masks? In their wedding on June 14th, in North Suburban Synagogue Beth El, Highland Park, Illinois, Ilana Jackson and Jeremy Fierstein told swine flu to go to hell as they proceeded to tie their nuptial nuts not minding the grim diagnosis they had received earlier? Their own was flu or no flu, the wedding must go on?

About 48 hours to their wedding, their doctor called to report the diagnosis of a swine flu test they had taken following symptoms of vomiting, achy limbs and burning fever. It was positive! Undeterred, the couple deferred their hospital check-in but instead proceeded with their life-changing event, their wedding ceremony. Icheoku says, the way to go lover-birds, as we cannot live our lives in perpetual fear; afraid of all that life could throw at us including swine flu? To Ilana Jackson and Jeremy Fierstein, both 26, Icheoku says congratulations of your wedding and may the bravery of your defying swine flu guide your marriage into its golden years? The husband, Jeremy Fierstein, suspects he had contracted the swine flu while traveling to Chicago from Boston?

The professional hairstylist and makeup artist Jackson had hired refused to touch her? The couple stayed 10 feet away from all guests at all times? Instead of walking down the aisle, Jackson and Fierstein walked farther distance around the guests? They were not allowed the normal bridal/wedding dance? They wore surgical masks and latex gloves throughout the wedding ceremony and so did some of the guests? No guest was brave enough to hug either of the couple? It was definitely a little different than a normal wedding but Icheoku says, a wedding is a wedding! Once again, congratulations swine flu couple, Ilana and Jeremy Fierstein!

PROPHET M.K.O. TIBETAN, WORDS OF WISDOM!

Today, Sunday June 21, 2009, the topic for our meditation is "THE SEED IN YOUR HANDS"? I am your pastor and prophet, Marcus Koredele Oluwatosinmi Tibetan and I come to you today from Dublin Ireland.

I want the whole church to open with me to the biblical book of Luke 8:11-13, because we are picking our topic from there today, titled 'the seed is in your hand'! The almighty God has planted the seed in you, therefore you need not pray 24/7 to get anything because the man has put the seed in your hands. When you look at the world today everybody want to be rich and go to heaven but no one wants to work for it. Even the people in Nigeria want to go to America for a better life and people in America want to go to Nigeria to get hold of abundant oil and possibly monopolise it? They know the right thing to do but yet have failed and/or refused to do so because they don’t plant the good seed; rather they plant the deceitful seed that can take them to nowhere.

When you look at the bible passage, the seed is the God massage, the word of God; so if you fail to allow it to germinate then how can you say you are a good Christian? See Joshua 7:1-8, Jeremiah 1:1-10, 5:20 to end, Haggai 1:1-10, Isaac 28:18? How can you advertise it before devil, if you look at the life of David before the gentiles and the wild animals, he advertised the seed and became victorious; he was therefore tagged with the title “the friend of the Lord Almighty” 1Sam 15,16,17,18 and 19 all pointed out that David planted the seed in the right place and it was well with him. See Genesis 37, 38, 39,40,45,47 and 50:19. Also in the life of Daniel, Shadrach, Messiah and Abednego they sow their seed at the appropriate place and at the right timing. See Luke 5:1-10, when the comptroller of the world met, (the fisher men) he asked them to turn back to the high sea and they accepted his words and it was well with them because he planted good seed into their lives. In the life of Saul and Barnabas in the Act of Apostles 11, 13, 27, 10, 15:12 to the end, and 16, these people in the above passage sowed good seed and it was well with them, so stop complaining because the Lord have started a good thing in your life; he knows all things, therefore sew good seed which he has given to you. In the book of Matthews 25:1-13 the parable of the ten bride maids, the 1st five sowed wisely while the other five sowed stupidly and it was recorded of them. Sow your seed now before it gets contaminated because the weather of tomorrow may not be conducive for the seed. Until next Sunday, remain blessed!

NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT, ETHNIC CLEANSING IN THE NIGER DELTA?

For a starter course, please click Watch how the JTF killed the Boma Brothers in the ...! What other evidence does anybody need to conclude as Icheoku did, that the Nigerian government is carrying out a systematic extermination of the people of the Niger Delta; just to covet their oil? Theirs is the curse of the black liquid, petroleum?

Watching the gory video of Nigerian army murdering two innocent brothers in the Niger Delta sent shock waves down our spine. It is particularly so because the victim's only known crime was coming from a particular section of the country? The Nigerian army officer that pulled the trigger could be heard in the background, interrogating one of the brothers, who was then still alive; trying so very hard to find out his ethnicity? As soon as he answered, a gun-shot crackled and he slumped in death. Another was fired to finish him off and this is happening in 2009 Nigeria with the whole world watching, hands akimbo?

If this is not ethnic cleansing going on in the Niger Delta, Icheoku doubts if any other thing so qualifies and the war criminals in Abuja, President Umaru Yar'Adua and Vice President Jonathan Goodluck must be held accountable for this ongoing carnage in the Niger Delta of Nigeria? Icheoku says, luckily this shameful episode was caught on camera; which leaves one to ponder the quantum of blood-letting which have been going on therein that were not known to mankind? Icheoku calls on the world criminal court/tribunal trying Liberia's Charles Taylor to make room for the duo in Abuja as their unleashed mad-dogs are fermenting atrocious mayhem in the Niger Delta of Nigeria, for which they must and should be held to account?

Pictures do not lie; more-so when that picture is a motion picture - video? It is audible enough to hear the soldiers making a spectacle of their quarry, with one already killed while his brother was seen patting his dead brother's arm, in a gesture of mourning? What followed was as eerie as it was unbelievable as he was murdered in broad daylight, in cold blood, with people watching just for who he was? No gun was found on him? He had already surrendered, was laying faced-down beside his killed brother and had only raised his head to answer the soldier who was interrogating him about his ethnicity? Then, lo and behold, he was executed by Nigerian soldiers under the command and direct order of President Umaru Yar'Adua? This was not a case of unknown soldiers as these murderers were captured on video-camera, with their voices clearly discernible. These scoundrels of our time must and should be prosecuted to the full letters of the law for the murders of these two Boma brothers.

In trying to defend his government's violence against a defenseless people of the Niger Delta, the Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ojo Maduekwe said, "We do not tolerate human rights abuses. We will investigate this video and if crimes were committed participants will be punished"? To which Icheoku says, tell that to the marines as Nigeria not only torture people, they abuse peoples' fundamental human rights and has killed before, is killing now and will kill tomorrow! What is there to investigate in a clear cut case of recorded videography? What a hopeless group of gendarmes, who running Nigeria aground?

In the same token, Icheoku says, whether the Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) and other militant groups in the region are "existential threats to Nigeria" is irrelevant, as their demands could easily be met were the government in Nigeria sane enough to separate fact from their illusion?

How can someone, for example, from United States of America state of Maine go down to the state of Texas and take their oil and then turn around to shoot the Texans who are agitating or complaining about their oil being stolen from them? Then immediately turn around to accuse the resisting Texan of causing trouble? What does that Maine expect? For the Texan to simply roll over and watch the worst debasing of his people taking place before his eyes and do nothing? What then does the word 'honor' mean? It defeats every logic and this irrationality is what the Nigerian government is trying so desperately to sell to the world; but happily enough, no one is buying this piece of deceit anymore.

Icheoku says, this mind numbing video must be in compliance to Alhaji Bala Ibn Na’Allah recent call for the extermination of the over 20 million Niger Delta inhabitants to make way for the rest of other 120 million Nigerians; who will then live happily forever after?

ATEKE TOM, DO NOT SURRENDER, REJECT AMNESTY!

Tom Ateke, Icheoku says, whatever you do, do not crawl on your knees to genuflect before your oppressors! You must not surrender and be taken prisoner by your oppressors; otherwise what you stood for and fought for, with so many peoples' lives sacrificed and some now dependent thereon, would have been in vain. Remember Biafra and what the Igbo man is forced to deal with in today's Nigeria because of that single mistake of an unfinished, inconclusive war? Why not cultivate a different fate for yourself and your people of the Niger Delta and persevere in this struggle? Please reject President Umaru Yar'Adua's amnesty, it is an omnious trap!

Remember that the North does not keep her promises; and if in doubt, ask what happened with the promised three Rs of of Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction by Yakubu Gowon at the end of the civil war? Remember the promise of federal character principle which was the pivot of all federal postings and appointments; and check for yourself how far President Umaru Yar'Adua is keeping to that promise? Remember Umaru Yar'Adua's promised power emergency declaration and see how fast he had declared that much needed power emergency in Nigeria? With Umaru Yar'Adua there is no honor in his dictionary, so he will at the convenient time, once again, renege with his promise to grant you unconditional amnesty when his minions find a convincing reason to eliminate you. If truly you have worked for the State Security Service, then you know exactly what that midnight police escort out of the cell portends? Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida conducted the freest election ever in Nigeria but when the time came to keep faith with the result, he reneged and annulled it? Sani ABacha would not even entertain dialogue and hung Ken Saro-Wiwa without any justification whatsoever, except to remove him from his opposition to injustice of the Hausa-Fulani?

Tom Ateke, only cowards go to their captors in chains, so be a brave man and think about Ken Niweigha and do the right thing. If you surrender now, when what motivated your militancy has not been resolved or addressed, the whole world will see you as an opportunist, waiting to be acknowledged and possibly rewarded? Such a u-turn will show, you do not have a core and that you are an unprincipled man who would abandon his followers mid-stream; once convenient? Think about all the boys who call you leader and laid their lives pushing through your agenda? Is it fair to now tell them that you were wrong all this while?

Instead of your surrender, if the Fulani-Hausa North is serious, let they convene a sovereign national conference to iron out all the issues afflicting Nigeria including the Niger Delta? At best if the JTF's heat is too much for you, go under and lay low or even leave Nigeria for the time being, like your compatriot Tompolo; but to surrender to these feudalistic lords is simply sacrilege as it will show that you never had convictions in the first place? The Hausa-Fulani North made their kinsmen both the Petroleum Minister and Managing Director of the NNPC and they want to talk amnesty with the owners of the oil? My question to you Tom Ateke is, what makes you believe that this time, they will be different; more-so since your freedom activities had claimed some lives and disrupted so much ever since? What makes you think that they will not shoot you and blame armed robbers for so doing? Did you ask what happened to Ken Niweigha who was shot at the back and killed in cold-blood? Icheoku wants you to know that with the Hausa-Fulani, they only know one thing, and one thing only, conquer and plunder?

Please Mr. Ateke, Icheoku asks you to think through the ramifications of this purported move of yours to capitulate and go prostrate before your Hausa-Fulani tormentors. It does not matter the term of the surrender or how finely it was couched and worded as a presidential amnesty; the real question should be, what has changed since you decided to pitch battle in the struggle for the emancipation of the peoples of the Niger Delta? If you believe in something and you are not prepared to die for it, then an opportunist might as well be your other name. The Hausa-Fulani has not shown any serious interest at a genuine reconciliation. They are still holding Okah captive; they are ravenously looking for Tompolo? They have killed Ken Niweigha? Several other Niger Delta youths, women and children have died since the struggle as a result of their scorch-earth aerial bombardment of the Niger Delta? Several palaces of traditional rulers have been decimated in the Niger Delta, a thing you cannot imagine with the emirs or sultans yet it is ok with Niger Delta royals?

So what makes you think that as soon as you surrenders, that the events of the Niger Delta will change for good? Please do not be fooled by these empty promises of amnesty, because if President Umaru Yar'Adua does not kill you on direct orders, someone-else somewhere would, may be someone who may feel betrayed by your defection or even the feeling of it? Rivers State's Governor Amechi is already raising objection about your amnesty, so you can now tell that some freedoms are not worth the free in them?

Tom Ateke, please do not surrender your manhood; it is cowardly to accept this amnesty! Look at Biafran-Igbos who are still suffering in Nigeria almost four decades after, because of a similar mistake which Philip Effiong led them into in 1970? If you must know, the world is putting pressure on President Umaru Yar'Adua to end the Niger Delta invasion; and he is trying to placate them with this his rushed offers of amnesty to quickly end the struggle of the brave youths of the Niger Delta? So why make it easy for him now when a little perseverance is all that is needed for a third party's conciliatory proceedings? If Umaru Yar'Adua is serious and sincere about the plight of the Niger Delta, why is he not addressing the issues fueling the activism? Why would he appoint both the minister of petroleum and managing director of NNPC from the north and not the Niger Delta that owns the oil? Instead of a slavish surrender, demand for talks/conference and condition the amnesty thereon; it is more productive than accepting a condescending amnesty like a beggarly person. Tom Ateke, Icheoku says, there must be no retreat and no surrender! The nearest hour to dawn is always the darkest but your daylight as well as the greater Niger Delta peoples', is nearer today than it was yesterday and you must not capitulate now! Aluta continua, Tom! The people of the Niger Delta appreciates your bravery!

SPOOKY, PLANE FLOWN BY DEAD PILOT?

If the phraseology, 'Dead on arrival" ever had meaning prior; it amplified today at Newark Liberty International Airport New Jersey when it really came to live! A plane with 247 passengers on board landed safely at about 11.47 a.m., without the passengers having any inkling that their pilot was dead as a door knob and stretched out cold, hurdled out in the crew section of the plane? Sounds spooky, you bet; especially when this is not a Halloween fable but a real life event which unfolded today over the Atlantic Ocean en-route Newark from Brussels, Belgium.

According to the story, the pilot of a Boeing 777 Continental Airline, Flight 61 collapsed and died mid-air over the Atlantic Ocean; and was eased out of the pilot's seat before the co-pilot and relief pilot took over controls and managed the aircraft for the rest of the flight and landed it safely at the airport. But unbeknownst to the 247 passengers in the belly of the airplane, their plane had landed without the pilot who took them airborne being alive; as he had died some hours into the eight hour trans-Atlantic flight while on the controls?

Efforts to revive the pilot by a Belgian physician, Dr. Julien Struyven, 72, a cardiologist, who was aboard the aircraft failed and he was later pronounced dead. His dead body was moved into an empty seat in a crew rest area, while the co-pilot and relief pilot respectively took turns for the remainder of the flight; with the dead captain watching over their operations from the land beyond? The deceased pilot, Craig Lenell, 60, of Texas, had been with Continental Airlines for 32 years and was said to have died of natural causes of a possible massive heart attack/failure.

Spooky as it may sound, but this was not the first time, a pilot had given up the ghost mid-air while flying an airplane? Two months ago in Florida, a passenger with some pilot training took the controls of a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air B200 heading to Jackson, Mississippi, with four people on board after the pilot died, and the passenger landed the plane safely with help from ground controllers. And in 2007, another Continental pilot, who was 57, died shortly after taking off on a flight from Houston to Mexico, but a co-pilot and private pilot safely landed that plane with 210 passengers on board. In May 2000, Taiwanese airline China Airlines was forced to turn back shortly after take off when the pilot suffered a heart attack. The copilot returned the plane to the airport and the pilot died shortly after arriving at a hospital. In March 1997, a Gulf Air Airbus A-320 skidded at Abu Dhabi airport after a pilot had a heart attack right at take-off.

Icheoku says, thank God for co-pilots otherwise the fate of the 247 passengers would have certainly been different. With what happened today, is it possible that Air France Flight 447 suffered similar fate regarding its pilots, that no mayday or any distress call was made and/or received? But with hope of the black-box recovery almost forgone, the world of aviation may never resolve what it was that dealt the devastating blow to Air France 447. Icheoku congratulates the crew for professionally bringing the airplane to a safe landing without panicking or spooking the passengers. To the family of Craig Lenel, our condolences; and to Continental Airlines, sorry for the loss of your captain.

THOMAS PRUSIK-PARKIN, RESURRECTS HIS DEAD MOTHER?

Wonders shall never end and the smarts shall always be out-smarted! And so is it that a Brooklyn New York man impersonated his dead-mother for about six years and collected her accruing benefits of Social Security, rent subsidies etc worth over $115,000.00?

Mr. Thomas Prusik-Parkin, 49, pictured right, posed as his dead mother and with the help of an accomplice Mhilton Rimolo, who acted as "her" care-provider would visit social security and rent subsidies offices to sign and collect her checks. Rimolo helped his "ailing aunt" get around town, cash government checks and assist in property transactions? Clever, isn't it?

Thomas would wear a wig, nail polish, heavy makeup, fake identity card, dress and a cane while impersonating his dead mother and what a near-perfect act he was until he was nabbed just last Monday, June 15, 2009. He was arraigned on Tuesday on grand larceny, forgery and conspiracy charges linked to a deed and mortgage fraud scheme?

In his statement, following arrest, Thomas said, "I held my mother when she was dying and breathed in her last breath, so I am my mother". Icheoku says, such a statement provides Thomas with the much needed defence of insanity as only an unhinged person would make such an irrational statement of delusional state of being?

Thomas' mother, Irene Prusik, died in 2003 at age 73. It would appear that Thomas had his act pre-planned as he had given his mother's funeral director the wrong Social Security number and date of birth which made it impossible for a proper and correct death records of hers to reflect in government databases which would have forestalled this schematic fraud. He continued collecting her $700 a month in Social Security, filed for bankruptcy under her assumed identity so "she" would be eligible for $39,000 in city housing subsidies to help pay rent on "her" apartment.

He even fooled the district attorney's investigators who came to interview 'Irene Prusik' last May 2009, when they encountered an elderly "woman" in a red dress and dark sunglasses who answered all their questions, with Rimolo by 'her' side? Thomas was eventually busted following a tip-off! Icheoku says, a case of every day for the thief, one day for the master!

JOHN ENSIGN, ANOTHER REPUBLICAN SHAMELESS HYPOCRITE?

Senator John Ensign has just proved himself, the republican he is? Do what I say but not what I do? His confessional admission of adultery of last few days is in tandem with the pattern which have developed of the republicans, - masquerading hypocrites, who live double-life?

Like so many of them who have been outed in the recent past, Senator John Ensign now joins the rank of people doing by night, under the cover of darkness - sheeps by day and wolves by night? Icheoku says, this is the same man who nearly chopped off the head of President Bill Clinton for his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky; and who is now found to be equally cheating on his wife of christian marriage! While condemning Bill Clinton, Senator John Ensign forgot the injunction of Bible's Matthew 7:1 of "Do not judge so that you will not be judged"? Also he forgot what the book of Romans 2:1 said, therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. Our US Senator from Nevada did not advise himself that Jesus Crucified was right after-all when he said in Bible's John 8:7 that he who is without sin should cast the first stone? It would appear that the Senator from Nevada will hear none of that and today, Icheoku says, who is now the lying hypocrite?

We usually do not give a darn about what anyone chooses to do with his/her body, and as a necessary concomitant, his private life in general. But when that person is a republican party member/official, those holier than thou group of sanctimonious Americans, then their shortcomings make our day; and so it is with the admission by United States Senator John Ensign of Nevada that he has been a philandering, lying husband; cheating with his campaign staffer who is also married to one of his campaign staff? Should Senator John Ensign resign for his lecherous misbehavior? Icheoku says, we do not think so as what he did was not too egregious to warrant the demise of his political career; he simply grew weak and fell for a daughter of Eve who probably seduced him into compromising his marital vows to his wife? We must emphasis though, if only people stopped judging others and rather try to understand them!

Icheoku says, if only the people of the world would learn how to be good Christians and not the pharisee-type and live their words. If somebody wants to be anything, just leave the person alone but do not be like the other republican senator from Idaho, Senator Larry Craig who was criticising gays while at the same time soliciting gay-date in an airport bathroom stall? To the John Ensigns of America, Icheoku says, please stop living a double life and be all you can be and in the open. Unlike Las Vegas where everything remains in Vegas, this adultery is making the news, including Icheoku.com because of the hypocritical nature of the leading adulterer, Senator John Ensign, otherwise who cares the object of love and affection anyone may chose to have? If anything, it is for the fellow's spouse to deal with the fallout; so Mrs Ensign, now you know!

NIGERIAN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, CASTRATED? - an article by Paul Barthlomew.

Power they say corrupts, while absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is a popular refrain among political science students. This is the main reason why in a democratic setting, there are three arms of government that operate as co-equals and serve as a check and balance on one another. The result is an effective checks and balances on the activities and operations of each government tier.

That Nigeria has spent ten uninterrupted years of civilian rule is not in question. The argument has been whether these years of civilian rule can be equated to ten years of democratic governance? Many commentaries had been made on this subject; while some argue that we have had democracy these ten years, others believe we had only had the change of uniform as the same clique of undemocratic elements had been in control of the national affairs these past ten years. That was why in 2007, when a so-called unblemished, true civilian and a university graduate - "Umaru Musa Yar'Adua" was 'selected' by the PDP and later imposed on the 'nation' as a civilian president, not few were optimistic that things will no longer be the same, hoping that we are in for better times? But with several events since his inauguration as president, President Umaru Yar'Adua had proved the optimists wrong while the sceptics had been proved right. Not a few had been taken aback with the level of corruption in all segments of national life, exhibition of ineptitude, lack of direction, unwillingness to change the status-quo especially with recent events in Ekiti and President Umaru Yar'Adua's strong commitment to the Northernization and Islamization of Nigeria?

However, my anger goes to the National Assembly, the so-called representatives of the people - both the senate and house of representatives? These people are supposed to gauge the feelings of the 'electorate' (though none of them were elected but selected, in the first place) and make laws to assuage these feelings and fears. These so-called 'distinguished' senators and 'honourable' representatives are expected to serve as a check on the excesses of the executives and defend the constitution of the 'Federal Republic'? They are to remind the executive of any actions that serve as a breach to the constitution and ensure that the interest of the generality of the masses is defended, at least let there be a semblance? They are supposed to scrutinize the actions of the executive and various parastatals to ensure that they are in consonance to the dictates of the constitution. However, what we observe now is a legislature that had become an extended arm of the presidency, not even the executive. Actions of the executive are now approved without recourse to constitutional requirements. They are only interested in their allowance and had abandoned the responsibility bestowed on them to 'at least' show that they have separate but equal powers, running Nigeria. I am persuaded to concur with those who term them 'rubber stamp' legislature.

The recent appointment by the presidency and the so-called screening and approval by the Senate of Mr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria is appalling and negates every sense of decorum and legislative responsibility? Mr. Sanusi just assumed his last office as the Group Managing Director of First Bank of Nigeria in January 2009. From all indications, Mr. Sanusi is not qualified to head the nations apex bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria. His educational background completely disqualifies him. This is a man that would formulate policies that is supposed to drive this national economy in this period of global economic recession and lead us to the so-called Vision 2020? From all indications, he is not properly equipped for the task of the present global economic meltdown and his masters degree in Islamic Studies, a course that has nothing to do with Economics, or Banking or even Political-economics does not help matters, at all? Sanusi also lacks the international clout or exposure to lead the nations banking sector to the desired Eldorado?

If the North desires to appropriate the CBN governorship position now, my question is ' Is Sanusi the most qualified candidate the whole of the North can produce?' If that is true, then they have a fundamental problem because they are and will remain for many decades, very far behind in Nigeria. During the so-called Senate screening of Sanusi, this his incompetence was not commented on by any of the so-called Senators? What a shame? Mr. Sanusi comes from a region, North Western Nigeria that already has appropriated the positions of the President, Economic Adviser to the President, Minister of Finance, Minister of National Planning, Minister of Energy, GMD NNPC etc. This completely negates the principles of the constitution of the 'Federal Republic' of Nigeria as it appertains to federal character principle in allocation of offices in the land? During the jamboree called screening, the so-called senators were busy listening to a fable prepared to deceive the gullible men that the question of federal character was no longer an issue in federal appointments? The worst case displayed by this inept senators is that they acquiesced that even the affirmation of his clearance should be done by voice votes? Which triggers the question, which clime are we operating here in Nigeria?

I recently read a babbling by one Northerner that the reason for not giving Prof. Chukwuma Soludo a second term was to pave way for a Northern who has a primary responsibility to reshape the policy of the operations of the Bureau De Change. They complain that the policy of Soludo affected the Northerners negatively without considering the effect on the national economy. It goes to show how myopic, sentimental and tribalistic that President Umaru Yar'adua is and by such, a person with his traits has completely demonstrated his incompetence to be president of any country in this world. No wonder some of his former associates had complained that President Umaru Yar'Adua has no national agenda, had no friends outside his locality and thus his mentality is completely local. I am afraid for Nigeria especially with recent calls for a so-called second term. What we have got from the so-called National Assembly had been probes that got nowhere. Noises were made, emotions evoked and all of such nonsense. The conclusion is the enmeshing in corrupt practices by those who are supposed to perform oversight functions. Nicholas Ugbane, Ndudi Elumelu et al will tell better. Many others abound in both chambers with their atrocities covered by the EFCC and their presidency collaborators. We wish Elumelu will open up and squeal the beans in his case as it concerns the so-called young Turk, Mr. Speaker. We all know about it and are waiting for the details.

The National Assembly, during Obasanjo's regime made some noise about impeachment. However, in the name of executive-legislative collaboration and political stability, the interest of the masses is constantly subsumed to the wishes of a cabal that has been holding Nigeria hostage since independence. In the so-called hallowed chambers, rot, disappointments, shame, election riggers and thugs, criminals, 419ers, fake contractors, ritualists, womanisers, sponsors of kidnappings and all sorts of evil abound. It shows that this nation is doomed. Our democracy is doomed. The future of our youths is doomed. They are not National Assembly but National Ashamed? They are not honorable people but dishonorable people or what is honorable in a bunch of thugs, fraudulent criminals, 419ners, SIEMENS bribe-takers, NITEL looters etc? What a disgrace these bunch of hooligans have brought to the office as well as Nigeria?

IRANIANS, FIGHTING TO PROTECT THEIR VOTES!

Like Nigeria, the institutionalized authorities in Iran are denying the people the choice they made at the polls last Friday, June 12, 2009; but unlike Nigeria, the Iranian people are not taking it and are fighting back, protesting what everyone suspect was the grandest election rigging and mother of all election frauds in recorded history? Icheoku says, kudos to the Iranian people for standing up to the mullahs of Tehran to preserve your honor and votes! We hope that Nigerians will learn from your example, to become brave-enough to fight back and not turn tail, each time the cabals of Nigeria choose to railroad their wish through and against that of the Nigerian people.

As the world watched the built-up momentum that led up to the Friday's election and the apparent support which the opposition candidate had; it becomes very difficult to comprehend what happened and how the incumbent won with such a chasm of a margin, 62.6%? This puzzle would be solved with the understanding of the magical counting of about 40 million handwritten paper ballots in a matter of hours and the declaration of a winner so soon thereafter voting ended? This becomes more complex in the face of the logistical nightmare posed by collating these votes, spread across vast Iranian territories and these were not electronic ballots but hand written paper ballots? To understand how this feat was made possible is to understand what actually happened with the votes of the Iranians. Icheoku says, until these Siamese twins are successfully separated, Iranians might have to deal with four more years of apprehension and bellicosity of Iran, pitted against the entire world under their President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's 'landslide victory' is suspect and the endorsement of his 'victory' just few hours after the votes closed by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei further fuels the suspicion of a grand concert by the powers in Iran to rubbish the efforts of the people and maintain one of their own inside Teheran's seat of power. But will Iranians accept this? Icheoku says, we don't think so and if the developments ever since last Friday is an indication, then all hopes are not lost; provided the mass action does not abate. It is encouraging that the supreme leader has now been forced by development, to order an investigation into the alleged election fraud? The leading reformist challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi 33.75% election votes is rather too modest for what should have been following reasonable expectations. This shows that these election-riggers of Iran were not that smart, otherwise they would have made the result to be within a reasonable margin of about 51% to 48%; in which case everybody would have said, oh it was as close as expected and would have moved on? But no, they were as dumb as the thieves they are and the percentages were rather too loud and is now eliciting the present outcry in the streets of Tehran?

The bone of contention was how about 40 million paper ballots could be counted so easily by hand and final results tallied and announced by authorities in Tehran in just about 12 hours; in utter difference to past elections which took at least twice as long? So what changed or did the Iranian authorities suddenly learn some art of magical number tabulating, not previously known to mankind? What genius could have counted, by hand, about 40 million ballots, entered same data into the computer, aggregated and transmitted same to the Interior Ministry in Tehran all within just 12 hours? Icheoku says, except that genius is the authorities in Tehran and the existential logistical nightmares suddenly vanished, in a disappearing act? According to one observer, "If they're still using hand counting, that would be very speedy, unusually speedy" indeed?

Finally, Icheoku says, while the world awaits in heightened expectation to see how the election snafu in Iran is finally resolved, we pray that Iranians will maintain their tenacity in demanding that their votes be counted correctly and not allow the oppressors of Iran to hijack the election and debase their effort at having a say in who governs them. Once again, congratulations to the people of Iran for your courage against all odds and intimidation, protesting what is rightfully yours - the votes you cast last Friday.

SAVANNAH BANK, LESSONS LEARNED?

It is with utmost gratitude that Icheoku welcomes the lifting of the siege of vindictiveness which the macabre Olusegun Obasanjo government had levied on an otherwise very solvent Savannah Bank. It is on record that Savannah Bank as it then was, had a liquidity in excess of that required for operation of any bank in Nigeria? In essence, it had a positive net worth of N1.8 billion Naira as well as substantial foreign currency reserve, when it was cramped down, notwithstanding, on the orders of the ape of Otta, Olusegun Obasanjo?

Even the then Minister of State for Finance, Senator Jubril Martins-Kuye, acknowledged that Savannah Bank was liquid when its license was revoked? While the then acting Managing Director of Savannah Bank, Mr. Thompson Onwubiko, saying that only “evil intention” of Olusegun Obasanjo caused the CBN and the NDIC to shut down the bank"? Nigeria we hail thee, where a lunatic-fringed individual like Olusegun Obasanjo was tolerated for eight agonizing long years in power? Icheoku says no one but the demon of Otta, Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo could explain why he shut down Savannah Bank; as the varied reasons bandied around did not cut it, ranging from the mundane to the absurd and the laughable? "It was under-capitalized? It was insolvent? It committed unethical conduct? It was regulatory misconduct"? Icheoku says, which one then was it? It was rather incredulous that a government which should have saddled itself with job creation was busy annihilating existing companies due to personal animosity, thereby forcing millions of her citizens into joblessness?

A known vindictive-person, Olusegun Obasanjo fell out with Chief Jim Nwobodo and get him, he must and he went for his jugular? But unbeknownst to this madman of Otta, it was not just only Jim Nwobodo that was invested in Savannah Bank; no, as they were several thousands of employees sourcing their living from the bank's 140 branches throughout Nigeria? That Savannah bank meant something to so many other share-holders, investors and directors was of no consideration to the masquerade of Otta? That so many business transactions were dependent on the bank for their day to day operations; as well as several other international financing transactions were irrelevant to the moose of Otta, Olusegun Obasanjo? But why should the monster care, after-all he was part of the Nigerian army that adopted 'starvation as the best instrument of warfare' against the Biafra nation, without regard to the numerous women and children that perished from malnutrition-induced Kwashiokor as a result? Icheoku says the re-birth of Savannah Bank Nigeria PLC is a thing of joy for all Nigerians except the Olusegun Obasanjos therein, those devil maycare Nigerians who has been rebuked with the re-opening! To Savannah Bank PLC, Icheoku says, welcome back!

At the re-opening ceremony, the bank’s promoter and former chairman, Jim Nwobodo, said the bank would rebound as a world class financial institution, notwithstanding past distractions? In retort, Icheoku says, eight long years is not a just 'distraction' but a concerted attempt by a maniacal pimp, Olusegun Obasanjo, to strangulate an Igbo-owned institution, in furtherance of his mental-continuing genocidal war against Biafra? Luckily though, light triumphed over darkness and Olusegun Obasanjo was humiliated and ashamed by the rise of the phoenix, Savannah Bank, from Obasanjo's ashes of oppression! Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo, Icheoku says, only the truth shall set you free; so please stop hating the Igbos that you may die a peaceful death? FYI: Savannah Bank has an Interim Chairman, Mr. Richard Abraham.

According to the story, the Central Bank of Nigeria revoked the licence of Savannah bank on February 12, 2002 on the ground of unethical practices, insolvency and inability to meet its financial obligations? Savannah Bank went to court, to contest the revocation of its operating licence based on such unfounded allegations because of its sound financial position. The court of first instance, Federal High Court Abuja, in a judgment delivered on October 20, 2006, upheld the action of Olusegun Obasanjo's tele-guided CBN; which decision, the bank appealed. The Appeal Court refused to be influenced by Olusegun Obasanjo, reviewed the evidence before it and found Savannah Bank was in good financial standing. The Appeal Court then rescinded the lower court's decision and ordered the bank's re-birth. Central Bank of Nigeria, now freed from the shackles of Olusegun Obasanjo, and fully aware of what conspiracies led to the bank's initial closure, decided not to appeal the judgment but to restore the operating licence of the bank. In an attempt to save face, CBN said it took the decision in the interest of the bank’s depositors in particular and the banking system in general? To this bare-faced lie, Icheoku asks, were depositors and the banking system not in existence at the time it shamelessly shut down an otherwise innocent viable bank? What a pathetic apologists, instrument of cohesion in the hands of Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo, the then Central Bank of Nigeria was? A bunch of pity-parties!

Now to the main grain of this commentary: - what lesson/s did this yo-yo game with Savannah Bank teach the Igbos of Nigeria? What is the moral lesson of this Olusegun Obasanjo's criminal closure and attempted strangulation of Savannah Bank? Icheoku says, the main lesson of the closure and now re-birth of Savannah Bank, after its fallowed 8 years of forced shut down, is to appreciate what really happened and how to avoid such a repeat occurrence in the future? Failure to understudy this sad event properly and guard against any future repeat occurrence would otherwise bring the pomp and pageantry of the re-opening to naught? What happens, should another despotic anti-Igbo element loony like Olusegun Obasanjo, weasel his way to power and decides to once again visit the Igbos with another round of vicious economic pogrom? Icheoku asks, how does the Igboman plan to insure his place and secure his business in Nigeria under the very harsh hellish condition of their existence in Nigeria? How can the Igbo-man guard against such a vindictive, forced closure of his business in Nigeria by such men as the Satan of Otta, Olusegun Obasanjo, in the future? These are the pertinent questions that need urgent answers, immediately and now! These are the questions thrown up by the travails of Savannah Bank, these past eight years; and the victimized Igbos of Nigeria should take the bull by the horn and fashion out some answers thereto. Is Oha-n-eze still relevant as the vanguard of the Igbos? This is the time to prove it. Is Oha-n-eze still the champion and defender of Igbo interest? The time to claim that honor and glory has come. What can they do? Icheoku says, Oha-n-eze should call an urgent meeting of other stake-holders of Nigeria and demand to know if the Biafra-Nigeria war is really over? Oha-n-eze should find out whether the Igbos are still an integral part of Nigeria or not? Oha-n-eze should find out whether the Igbos lost their status by defending their honor and right to peaceful existence, when they defended themselves from the genocidal onslaught by other Nigerians? Oha-n-eze should demand in the alternative to be allowed an honorable separation that they may go and pursue their destiny in an environment devoid of these acrimonious barrage of attacks in their supposed Nigeria? Oha-n-eze should, in the alternative, find out what security assurances are there for the Igbos, to make them feel like they really belong to Nigeria? Finally, if they want to accept the Igbos as Nigerians, then it must be unconditional, total and complete; with full rights and privileges like every other Nigerian, without these incessant heart-wrecking discriminatory practices being carried out against them.

Icheoku says, there must be a real push back by the Igbos of Nigeria to actually find their footing once again, and never to recoil each time and every time as if they are second class Nigerians? What Savannah Bank achieved is one such push back, admitted it took a whopping eight long years to get result? The Igbos must become more assertive in Nigeria to improve their lot and not allow the likes of melancholic Olusegun Obasanjo to tell them otherwise? Regrettably the timidity of the crop of Igbo men and women who pretend to be leading the Igbos now, leaves much to be desired; especially the "elected" national assembly members? All girlie-men and sissied-women who could not stand toe to toe, eye-ball to eye-ball to their fellow legislators from other parts of Nigeria to negotiate a fair term for the Igbo nation? Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo craftily castrated the Igbos, when he handpicked his errand boys and girls to represent the Igbos in both national houses; while weeding out the mavericks and patriots among them? What he thereafter foist on the Igbos are a bunch of cowardly people who cannot stand up and be counted, their balls having been since removed?

At least, if only these people would open their mouth and say something, that will suffice; but to keep silent in the face of such tyranny that is being visited on the Igbos is to have the men in these people die.What happened to the fighting spirit of the Igbos? The days of effective Igbo representation in the national political sphere seems a long forgotten blimp on the radar; as what the Igbos are now left with are Judas-tic men and women who look at their checking accounts to see the returns on their political sell-out of the Igbos? This, as a trade-off for their disgraceful silence while the overall Igbo interest is left to suffer untold humiliation in the hands of despicable people in leadership positions in Nigeria? But who shall mourn these so called Igbo leaders when their sun finally sets? Who shall remember these bunch of self-centered piece of Igbo humanity? What will their epitaph read? What impact would they have left behind to immortalize their memory or as signature of their passage through the Igbo landscape? Icheoku was even surprised to learn that deputy senate president is an Igboman and yet what has he done for the Igboman since? Ike Ekweremadu, Icheoku asks, any legacy yet? Also whether our beloved Uche Chukwumerije is still in Abuja or he too has been de-plumed, we do not know; but suffice it to say that his voice has also become silent. What we do however know, is that the breed of Igbo true blood like Nnamdi Azikwe, Dennis Osadebey, Mbazulike Amechi, K O Mbadiwe, Dr. Mike Opara, CC Onoh, Dee Mbakwe etc, are forever gone and in their place are people handpicked by non-Igbos from Igboland and for the Igbos; by non other than a desperate Otta gorilla, Olusegun Obasanjo? To these Igbo-Esaus at Abuja, who would sell their Igbo people for some oil wells allocation, Icheoku says, you will die alone and lonely; you shall not be missed and there will be no collective effort to mourn you. If brain does not work, why not resort to brawn or are you just cowards of the country? The Igbo nation, weepeth because of you!

It will be recalled that as at the time of its forced closure, Savannah Bank was one of the top 10 banks in Nigeria with 85,000 shareholders, 750,000 depositors and a work-force of 3,000 people? Therefore, in view of this enviable position then held, Icheoku says, how can Savannah Bank ever be compensated for the trauma of these past eight years of its forced closure? The profits it would have made; the growth it would have recorded, the innovations it would have achieved and the numerous down-turns goes on and on? As it battles with the new information technology, depositors’ confidence and harmonization, recruitment of new hands and composition of the management and board and more importantly getting the confidence of Nigerian banking audience back will prove one heck of a daunting task. Icheoku says, now that the atrocities committed by Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo have seen the light of day with such a rebuke of re-opening his closed Savannah Bank PLC; may he now hide his weird-looking face in a sack-cloth and with ashes thrown on his head, take a walk into the evil-forest and never look back! As Savannah Bank once again takes its baby-steps, Icheoku says, the endangered Igbo species in Nigeria should understand that it is not yet UHURU for them and their business and therefore should gird their loins for the challenges ahead as the Obasanjo anti-Igbo elements in Nigeria are probably at work, plotting again where and how to strike at the heart of Igbo business success! Once again, congratulation Savannah Bank, it is a new day!

FYI:- Former Governor of CBN, Professor Chukwuma Soludo once told the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and other Financial Institutions that “the bank’s licence was revoked on the 15th of February 2002 as at which time he had not come into office.

LAKERS, 2009 NBA CHAMPIONS!

Finally, Kobe Bryant proved that without Shaquille O'Neil, that the Los Angeles Lakers are equally as good; and champions they are, the 2009 National Basket Association champions! Icheoku says, congratulation to Kobe Bryant and his team for putting up such a stellar run leading to their 15th NBA title!

Lakers finished the 2009 NBA season with a 99-86 win over the Orlando Magic in Game 5 to win the 15th NBA title in franchise history with a 4-1 victory in the series. Prior to Sunday's finals, Lakers had played against Orlando Magic, 100-75 in Game 1; 101-96 in Game 2; 104-108 in Game 3; 99-91 in Game 4; crowning it with 99-86 in Game 5.

With this 2009 NBA champions win by Lakers, Coach Phil Jackson, has now become the coach with most NBA title wins at 10 championships. Once again, savor your victory Los Angeles Lakers and let Shaquille O'Neil do another rap song, singing 'He can win without me'? Congratulations the boys from the City of Angeles!

MKO TIBETAN, GOES SCRIPTURAL!

Your prophet is back after a little indisposition, praise God! Notice that 'YOUR SUNDAY WITH PROPHET MKO TIBETAN' has been changed and now reads accordingly above.

The topic for today, Sunday June 14, 2009 is "DON'T ALLOW YOUR DREAM TO DIE"! For further reading, see Daniel 2:24-31; Jeremiah 1:4-10. Brethren in Christ, lend me your ears this morning; because the good Lord has planted a dream within the entire creature under heaven:- the trees and fruits such as mango, oranges, grapes with each producing sweet or sour taste. The Lord has warned us in the book of Jeremiah 29:11 that his thought for us is a thought of peace and happiness and not evil. He ask us to always obey his commandment. Note that when you obey the commandment of a king he will be your friend and when the king calls upon you, you will never be afraid to respond.

We humans beings today have broken the law, even right from the book of Genesis 3:8-15 i.e. the garden of Eden and Genesis 6:1-10,4:6-14,11:1-5, Proverb 6:1-10, Joshua 7:20-to the end, Deuteronomy 28:15-19, 31:29 - End. In Genesis 3:14-15, the Lord said automatically if you want to actualize your dream on earth, you should stop praying like hypocrite, who like saying their prayers on top of the roof and then we should stop behaving like the African people who belief that there’s someone behind their door of their house who is responsible for their problems, this is the curse to the black race, but that we should learn the habit of the white man who never believe that there is someone behind, responsible for his/her ailment or problems because what they know right from their tender age is to fear the law of their Land and keep away from Lying tongues. Galatians 5:16 – End.

Church can’t change any individual, nobody can change another person, but each person must change him/herself, a car can be change, house can be renovated but have you planned to change yourself? Therefore, brethren in Christ try and work on your dream in order for you to actualize your dream. You need to obey the rules and regulations of God and surrender yourself to God.When you look at the life of Moses in the bible, how he was born, raised and made a decision to help his people, in fact he also refused to eat at the King’s palace when he realized he was'nt an Egyptian purposely because he wanted to actualize his dream see Exodus 1:`1-10, 2:6-11, 3:1-10, 4:4-11, also in the book of Deuteronomy 31:26-End, for this reason, he gave them the law and wrote the ten books of Moses known as the Petra to mention but few when you look at the life of Joseph, he refused to fornicate to actualize his dream and also refused to be rude to his brothers and also sleep with the Kings wife nut today, where are you? As regarding Joseph and as stated above, see the book of Genesis 37:14–End, 39: 13-End, 41:42-43 and 45:1-6. With the whole of this, what are you doing as regarding your dream today? In the book of Daniel, in his history, he was in a foreign land with his friends and he refused to eat at the Kings palace and also worship their god in order to actualize his dreams in the book of Daniel 2, 3 and chapter 4. See also the life history of Shedrach, Messiah, and Abednego. In the Act of Apostle chapter 6, 7, and 8, you need to be firm with the Lord and be straight forward with yourself because if there is light in you then you can give to other people.

Brethren in Christ, if you are still walking, you can make a change, please advice yourself before people start advising you because you maybe in a wrong place and in a wrong hand and your motive may be wrong. Know for sure that if your cloud is not filled up for water you may not have rain.

BEYONCE KNOWLES, BOOBS SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE?

Just follow those roving fixated eyes and you will arrive at where this man's heart is? Peradventure, not only had he arrived Israel but has also since entered Jerusalem, - all in his longing, wondering mind? A peeping Tom, that is?

As he giraffes down the forbidden territorial pathway, an exclusive Jayzey's preserve; Icheoku ponders what manner of a libidinous he-goat of a man, will ogle a woman's natural endowment so unabashedly? Imagine, while innocent Beyonce was oblivious of the man's thieving eyes, and posing for photographs, a fast-acting lens caught her 'companion' shooting straight where others feared to glance? But who is this man?

The 'trespasser by sight' of JayZ's private property is none other, than a Nigerian man? His name is Nduka (ND) Obaigbena! He is a billionaire in Nigeria's local currency, the naira; and with astronomical conversion rate would be a millionaire in American dollars? He is a publisher of a Nigerian Newspaper, called 'Thisday', which has somewhat very high local readership. He also engages in one business venture after another and is highly connected among the Nigeria high up/s. This breast-fixating 'mogul' from Nigeria, also enjoys the acquaintance of former President Bill Clinton as well as some other world's notables like former Australian Prime Minister, Howard?

Anyway, pictures do not tell lies and ND should learn how not to undress a set of fine-boobs in the public? Icheoku says in any other event, let everyone reserve their judgment to themselves as the man merely admired a set of all natural, well-rounded and pampered piece of creation? If Picaso were alive today, he will paint those pumpkins!

The "All the single girls" velvet-voiced super-star got it! For Beyonce Knowles, the milk ad/commercial 'Got Milk' makes no sense and is not applicable with her as the fact of this picture speaks volume for itself? Icheoku wonders if Nduka Obaigbena has yet received any nasty 'get-off my property, you MF, phone-call, from JayZ? Imagine JayZ raving over the phone, "Mr. Whatever your name is, keep those f***ing Snowball's eyes of yours to yourself"! If I catch you messing with my woman, am gonna pluck them eyes for your sorry ass"? But where were JayZ's dem boys when this man stole what is exclusively, JayZ? Nduka please do not mess with the Don!

BUSH, JUMPS AGAIN FOR HIS 85TH!

A warrior is a warrior, always and forever; and so it is with President George Herbert Walker Bush!

Once again this brave American jumped off an airplane at 10,500 feet altitude in the sky to mark his 85th birthday! What an adrenalin junkie this Bush Senior is; at 85 still cherishing and re-living the experience of his famous rescue off the coast of Japan; when his plane was shot down over the Pacific in 1944 during World War II, after a bombing mission over ChiChi Jima.

Unlike many of his living contemporary, some of whom have since vegetated, this guy loves and lives life; that sometimes, one thinks he is just a brother to his two famous political sons? According to the elder Bush, "Just because you're an old guy, you don't have to sit around drooling in the corner. Get out and do something. Get out and enjoy life." Icheoku says, what a word of advise for the aged and by one of their own? One excited commentator added, "Age, the number, should never stop somebody."

Luckily for this skydiving octogenarian, all his five children, including former President George Walker Bush Jr. were there, along with 14 grandchildren, two brothers and a sister to cheer the patriarch of the Bush dynasty? His wife Barbara, and other daughters in-law were equally there to lend their support and celebrate his birthday with him. Icheoku says, happy 85th to the brave one, President George H.W. Bush.
