MADE IN NIGERIA WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION, ARMS DEALERS WANTED?

Icheoku says this is what transfer of technology looks like in a country, which did not sustain the gains recorded in Biafra during the civil war with Ojukwu buckets (ogbunigwe) as well as other milestone innovations like crude oil refining etc. Now in the 21st century, this "pistol" is all that is possible and you say to yourself, seriously? Icheoku must remind visitors that the cartilage was manufactured elsewhere otherwise it would have equally been of a crude quality.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, NOW AN IRISH TOO?

Laughable, laughable, laughable; indeed, absolutely laughable. Icheoku says what a fluky and fickle world that we live in where people shamelessly make bogus claim to what is not theirs, just for the appearance of belonging? The latest of this fantastical nonsense being the claim by the Irish that President Barack Obama is one of them - yet the president does not relish the bottles? This insidious claim has once again buttressed the saying that a beggar has no town's man or kindred; but for a prince, the generational affinities are infinite. 

Now it is the Irish that have magically and mysteriously established a generational link and heritage to American 44th President, Barack Hussein Obama; claiming that his great, great, great, great, great and great grandfather is from Moneygall, County Offaly, Ireland? Icheoku asks, were the president a panhandler shivering in the cold on a corner-street of Washington DC, begging for some quarters or "any change", would the Irish or Dick Cheney or even his known biological siblings ever identify with him? But what a phony world we live in that suffers fools greatly and where everyone want to identify with the successful, rich and famous while the bums of the world can go on pining away in their lonely, forsaken and forlorn world and you wonder if they just dropped off from the skies. Maybe President Obama should consider changing his name to O'Bamaly, except that the Kenyan Masai warriors will go to war to retain their own claim to the president! Icheoku says, don't mind the latest Irish myth or should Icheoku say, the great HOAX of the century!

ONLY THE MENTALLY DISTURBED QUESTIONS BIN LADEN'S FATE - PRESIDENT OBAMA!

"Anyone who questions whether the terrorist mastermind, Osama Bin Laden, deserves his fate needs to have their head examined." - President Barack Hussein Obama on CBS 60 Minutes, Sunday May 8, 2011. Icheoku says, be-eeni; and adds such people should in addition to the psychological examination, be investigated for supporting terrorist activities and providing comfort for the enemy!

JONATHAN IS SERVING SOUTH-SOUTH'S TURN AT THE PRESIDENCY - OBASANJO.

"My party, the PDP, believes in what is in the country’s constitution, which indicates that there must be federal character reflected in all appointments and elective positions. What the PDP said was that for now, where there is a president from one section of the country, who has had his term, whenever the term ends, either by himself through resignation, by the constitution through impeachment or by God through death, the next president should come from the other part of the country". - Olusegun Obasanjo. Icheoku says any correct interpretation of what Olusegun Obasanjo said concerning what amounts to a section's term at the presidency of Nigeria seems to suggest, by necessary implication, that the death of President Umaru Yar'Adua effectively brought to an end the Northern Nigeria's turn at the presidency; hence the rightful rotation back to President Goodluck Jonathan's South-South section? 

According to Obasanjo, any section of the country which has had its term, whenever that term ends either by act of God such as death, then the next president should come from another part of the country. The implication is that President Umaru Yar'Adua died with Northern Nigeria's turn at the presidency hence the rotation of the presidency back to President Jonathan of the South-South? So assuming that as Chairman Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party that Obasanjo candidly spoke on behalf of the PDP, it would mean therefore that it is not the number of years each section serves as president that is the controlling authority but the presentment or appearance of service, no matter how trivial and ephemeral? If this were truly the case, Icheoku asks, where then is the justice and fairness that one section of the country stayed in power for eight long years and the other for less than three years and that is it? Or that a moribund weakling that practically had few years to live on this earth was imposed by a contriving Obasanjo as that other section's candidate, knowing fully well that he will not live long enough to serve out that section's full eight years in office and effectively provide sectional representation for that section. 

Icheoku thinks something is not right with this interpretation of the PDP's constitution as rendered by Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo; otherwise it will be susceptible to frequent abuse as an outgoing president can easily engineer the emergence of a dying incompetent from the other section to succeed him in order for power to quickly rotate back to his more favored section. This skewered interpretation of the PDP constitution as given by Obasanjo is fraught with danger of abuse and a rightfully frightening resistance by any short-changed section. The provision should be more properly re-worded and amended, to expressly state and specifically provide for a term definite and not a person, as the controlling authority of a sections's term at the presidency. The new provision should read "every section of the country is entitled to eight full years in office" and not otherwise construed or interpreted. So in case of a 'banana-peel syndrome' or any other intervening circumstance such as death that frustrates a particular candidate from completing his/her section's eight years term, that section should still be able to complete it through one of their own person and not to have their allotted term fly away to another section. Even if a section prefers or chooses to have an eight person-presidents during their eight years term of office, to serve one year each respectively, so be it; but equity, justice and fairness demand that there should be equal time at the presidency for each section. Alternatively, let such an entitled section, which will produce the incoming president, be allowed to chose or nominate their own candidate of choice and not have it done by the outgoing president or the proxy of some other impostor who does not truly represent the section or their interest. Fairness demands that if every section should produce the president, that every section should also be allowed an equal amount of time to sojourn at the presidency; and this should not in anyway be shortchanged by any technicalities or such unforeseen event as an act of God - the death of the president. 

But be it as it may, Olusegun Obasanjo has once again thrown a new spanner in the wheels of Nigeria political question 2015 and is now either calling President Goodluck Jonathan a liar when he declared that he will serve only one term or there is an undisclosed hidden agenda by Obasanjo's cabal to make President Jonathan continue in office after 2015, under the guise of serving out South-South's eight years turn at the presidency. Political fork-speaking and manoeuvring is not peculiar to Nigerian politicians and the fact that politicians say and do anything to get elected notwithstanding, it will be in the best interest of justice and peace that parties stick to their pre-election 2011 talking-points when 2015 arrives and not unnecessarily overheat the polity or unreasonably disturb the peace of the land with their pursuit of their selfish interests. The Igbo South-East is anxiously waiting to produce the Nigerian president in 2015 and as a bargain, did not field any candidate but supported President Jonathan's election 2011 wholly and therefore must not be dribbled again come 2015. But whatever happens, Icheoku says, that Nigerians particularly the Igbo South East are primed and waiting; and will react accordingly  when 2015 comes. Until then let Nigerians be vigilant and wary of Obasanjo, neither completely ignoring nor too seriously taking his antics; admitted the man Olusegun Aremu Okikilemo Matthew Obasanjo is capable of always causing great mischief!

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!
