"I THINK I WILL CALL THE WHITE HOUSE" - ONYANGO OBAMA.
Yes the piling up continues and the snare continues to lie in wait to get "That One" as an inebriated Kenyan, living in Boston and linked to President Barack Obama as half brother to his father was arrested by the police in Framingham Massachusetts for driving under the influence. He blew 0.14 against the legal limit of 0.08 and when asked what he intend to do to secure bail, blurted "I think I will call the White House."
Icheoku says this is the problem with some people not knowing that America is not Africa where who you know gets you a free pass for virtually everything. The drunken Onyango Obama, 67, thought that because he has some genealogical lineage linking him to the President of America, that alone suffices to cut him some slacks for infringing the law? Give Icheoku a break.
But does anyone really blame him since were it in Africa, the cop that dared where the eagles tremble would not only lose his job but would probably be arrested, tortured and jailed for bringing the president's name to ridicule, causing him some hurt feelings and stepping on some sacred toes. What a land of the free where the rule of law is supreme America is regardless of who Mr Onyango knows or does not know, notwithstanding that he is somehow related to the president. Yes Mr Onyango Obama SIr, the law is the law and the cop was just doing his job.

UNITED NATIONS BOMB BLAST, IT IS NIGERIA'S TURN - PRESIDENT JONATHAN
Once again Mr Incompetent President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria has punted responsibility for the riveting insecurity in the country by explaining away that the shameful bombing of the United Nations office in Abuja Nigeria was 'merely a thing which is due and whose time has come?' According to the president, who has failed to arrest the insecurity situation in Nigeria and who is not brave enough either to do the heavy lifting needed to have the situation under control by first firing the also incompetent Inspector General of Police Hafiz Ringim, 'terrorism-insecurity is not peculiar to Nigeria but is a world-wide problem which just happened to be "Nigeria's turn this time around?"
Icheoku says Mr President it is about time you resigned from office and make way for a more competent person to man the tillers of the ship of state and solve this insecurity plaguing the land. This your continuous passing of the buck with every situation in Nigeria and trying to explain them away in your kindergarten manner is very disturbing. It is your duty to prevent the loss of lives in Nigeria and if Boko Haram says yes, why didn't you say no, not under my watch? How dare you say it was Nigeria's turn to be murdered and slaughtered alongside their guests, working at the United Nations and by extension giving Nigeria a black-eye as a high risk terrorism state? Yet this is a country trying to woe foreign investors? In the president's words, "Nigeria is not an isolated case. Many countries have suffered from terrorist attacks, maybe it is the turn of Nigeria."
Icheoku says it is no longer cool, acceptable or sufficient for you to continue to make excuses each time these Northern mallams successfully carry out their treat to make Nigeria ungovernable should you win the last election. A competent and brave president would have rounded and locked them up before the saliva that conveyed the threat had dried up and if it leads to war so be it. Until President Jonathan becomes man enough to stare down these Northern Nigeria Islamic mallams and their foot-soldiers - Boko Haram, it is going to remain one heinous bombing mayhem after another; and a confused and dazed president scurrying down to the crime scene or the treating hospital to blow hot air on how he is going to show them pepper. The president like in similar past bombings situation, also boasted that his government is on top of the United Nations bombing? Icheoku however is afraid that the government of President Goodluck Jonathan may have dozed off on top of the entire security situation in the country? Icheoku says, President Jonathan please get off the top of the situation and just do it - solve it and stop the jiving turkey syndrome currently afflicting you because talk is cheap.

"I AM NOT A MAGICIAN" - OKONJO IWEALLA.
Icheoku says the petite but mighty Amazonian is already preparing a soft-landing for herself just in the event of coming to fruition of the most likely fate which awaits her most patriotic and best intentions for the Nigeria economy. The system will sabotage her best intentions and there is nothing anyone can do about it until it is first sanitized.
The problem with Nigeria, especially the seemingly impossible task of growing her economy, is not lack of good and sound ideas; no, it is a society infected with cancer of corruption which hounds every lofty idea ever dreamt up to help Nigeria take needed baby-steps to eventual maturity. These pestilence of society will force cracks to develop through which Madam World Bank ideas and plans for Nigeria will fall through while leaving intact their goose that lays the golden eggs. Until corruption is tackled and somewhat reduced, all or any government's plans to move the economy forward will always sputter to a stop before it ever take steam.
Icheoku, while wishing Lady Little the best of luck in her new task to engage the Nigeria economy in gear one, says that NOI has a Mountain Everest of a task ahead of her. Unfortunately however either she can't really seem to fully appreciate the enormity of the problem starring her down the face or she is naive that Nigerians are such good followers. She is convinced that all that is needed is for her to show the way out of the economic woods and Nigerians will follow and magically the shattered humpty-dumpty is whole again? However and luckily for her, she is not the only one dreaming about a functional future Nigeria of endless possibilities as even President Jonathan and millions of other Nigerians share in this Utopia.
If Icheoku were President Jonathan, the mantra shall be first things firsts and let the rest fall in their respective places. It is three first things - discipline, discipline, discipline! Icheoku would reestablish WAI and MAMSER and implore Muhammadu Buhari or Nuhu Ribadu to lead the agency to help solve Nigerians problem numero uno - LACK OF DISCIPLINE or indiscipline. With this problem out of the way, most, if not all the problems of Nigeria will dissipate as an undisciplined mind is capable of just anything and everything. Icheoku's greatest fear and for good reason is that Nigerians will sabotage Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla's best effort and very good intentions for the comatose Nigeria economy and Icheoku wishes to be wrong on this.

TO THE FIGHTING GENERALS, A NOTE FROM MAGNOLIA.
"We may be through with the past, but the past is not through with us." - a line from the movie, Magnolia. Icheoku says whereas Obasanjo and Babangida thought that they are done and finished with Nigeria, it would seem that Nigeria has just said, wait a minute, not that fast. I am not through with you just yet; instead I am about coming after you and you both better be ready. And contrary to William Shakespeare's admonition through Mark Anthony in Julius Caesar, the evil that both men did refused to wait until after them but has chosen to now stare them down right in their eyes! The gods are wise and no man born of woman should try to redirect or in anyway possible, try to interfere with God's ways. What is happening between the two generals have the hand of God written all over it and who says salvation is not possible in Nigeria - wait until God finishes with this two men..

WAR OF THE GENERALS, PRESIDENT JONATHAN SHOULD BUTT OUT.
Icheoku says once again President Jonathan is displaying his naivety by wadding into the fight of the generals and expecting a good outcome. His plea for both Obasanjo and Babangida to "settle the matter between themselves as they are friends and have access to each other" is not only puerile, but misses the point.
The fact of the matter is that President Jonathan has what Babangida wanted and still covets, and for which he took that jab of desperation at Obasanjo. So a proactively thinking President Jonathan should have known that what was entrusted to him is the reason the two generals are now feuding; so if he truly wants peace to reign between the two fighting generals, he should relinquish the presidency to Babangida and settle the rift once and for all instead of pretending to be a peace-maker between the "Complete Failure" and the "Fool at Seventy." President Jonathan also forgot that both men are not friends and do not have any true friends either. They were merely conspirators and business partners for running aground Nigeria Plc.; and like the late MKO Abiola admonished, "with a friend like IBB no one needs an enemy" and OBJ is not too foolish not to have absorbed that advice. Icheoku says may the war of the generals never ends or ceases; but continues until they spill the gory details of their adventure into the Nigerian political scene!
PIUS ANYIM, THIS IS SO GAY?
In some countries a man holding another man in this manner would be interpreted as an indication of being "born that way?'" However this is Nigeria's Secretary to the Federal Government in a brotherly show of expressive love, common among many African countries where same-sex body contacts are normal and innocent too. But hey, Icheoku has no reason or basis to believe otherwise or to suspect that Pius Anyim is a "born that way" or goes both ways or swings? So all you horny bastards with ribbed bodies waiting to pounce and devour, please back off because this guy is as straight as the arrow and goes all natural.

THE KING OF AFRICA HAS LOST HIS CROWN, GADDAFI'S REGIME ON THE BRINK.
Latest report out of Tripoli has it that the regime of Moummar Gaddafi is on its final lease on life as the NATO backed rebels have taken control of the popular Green Square; having earlier taken into custody his two sons. But the where-about of King" Gaddafi of Africa is not presently known; except the speculation that he probably had already burrowed himself into a rat-hole in a copycat fashion as the late Saddam Hussein of Iraq.
Hopefully the Libyan people would have the civility to put principals of the moribund regime on trial before hanging them, possibly in the same Green Square where the "King" once strode in his majestic splendor as he lorded it on the Libyans with maniacal depravity. Anyway, what a tragic fate for the once "strongman" of Libya or was that of Africa; - a great lesson to all those other dictators of this world that a day of reckoning is always lurking around the corner. But only if they would listen and learn from such examples as Libya's former strongman Moummar Gaddafi, except that power makes them completely deaf and dumb and enslaved till death do them apart.
BABANGIDA NOT A GOOD MUSLIM, DID NOT QUOTE THE KORAN?
At least Olusegun Obasanjo quoted the Bible as a basis for calling the evil genius " A FOOL." According Olusegun Obasanjo, “if Babangida had decided on becoming a septuagenarian that will be a fool, I think one should probably do what the Bible says in Proverbs chapter 26, verse 4. It says: ‘don’t answer a fool because you may also become like him.’ When you go to the same Proverbs chapter 26, verse 5, it says, answer a fool so that he will not think he’s a wise man. So, I am now torn between which of the two verses I should follow in this respect.” So Icheoku asks Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida to quote an authorizing verse in the Koran to back up his allegation that Olusegun Obasanjo is a "Complete Failure" and/or "A Greater Fool." Icheoku says until IBB provides the necessary empowering Islamic verse to back up his allegation, Icheoku says Nigerians should just agree with OBJ; at least he produced an authority for his assertion. Now Nigerians, are you not loving the "Things Fall Apart" in the land of these despicable duo that have held Nigeria hostage and for such a long time.

STRAUSS-KAHN WALKS FREE, A CASE OF JUSTICE MISSED?
Admitted that the veracity for truth of the African immigrant who Monica Lewinskyed Dominique Strauss Kahn is practically none existent; but since when has that reason alone become the sole ground and only basis for discontinuing or dismissing carte-blanche an entire gamut of a criminal proceedings against an accused defendant? The prosecutor in this case should not act in a way suggestive or that could draw the inference that he was by necessary implication, doing the job of the defense for them.
It is the defense's responsibility to attack the character of the accuser and should have been the party moving to have the case dismissed based on lack of probable cause but not the prosecutor. If the accuser and principal witness for the prosecution is not a credible person, the onus lies on the defense to establish that her allegation in this case is not believable and therefore should not be believed. Nothing in law however precludes the prosecutor from bringing such a motion to dismiss at any time suo-moto in exercise of its discretionary powers of nolle prosequi. However Icheoku believes that justice would have been better served, at least on the appearance, if the prosecutor had proceeded with this case until such a time the defense moved for its dismissal; with no objection coming from the prosecutors. That way, the watching public, not versed in the intricacies, fine-lines and workings of the judicial process will be more persuaded that the case was not cavalierly dismissed just because of the caliber of person being accused and the little lass from the dark continent of Africa who is accusing him of sexual assault.
Icheoku had previously written extensively on this case and the glaring lack of credibility of the accuser, whose account of what allegedly transpired in that hotel suite was at best a concocted story of a woman of easy virtue whose "Client No. 9" did not fulfill their pre-rendering of service bargain and then decided to claim sexual violations. It was our position then and it still remains our position now that her account of what happened between DSK and her fell flat of a typical without of consent sexual assault. Our only additional comment now that the case has been dismissed is that the prosecutor should have been mindful of the old standing rule of fairness which says that "justice must not only be done but must be seen to be manifestly done by the watching public!" But in this case they have their hands on their heads with dropped jaws and mouths wide open, wondering in awe how this French rapist and sexual deviant Dominique Strauss Kahn walked free despite mountain of forensic evidence which fixed him to the alleged crime scene and the very act complained of.
Also DSK's veracity for truth which is highly suspect was not questioned but glossed over by the prosecutor. He initially denied any encounter with the "dirty-Diana" African immigrant hotel maid until his seminal fluid was extracted from the rug where the BJ service-provider had spat it out. Icheoku notes that this case was not the first time an accuser or prosecution's principal witness ever lied about an account of what allegedly happened or is someone with a chequered history of tall-tales, yet the accused was prosecuted to the fullest - only to be set free or convicted by a jury of his/her peers. The late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was once unjustly prosecuted for child molestation despite a plethora of evidence of incredulousness of the "victim's" mother and prosecution's chief witness. The only difference this time is that the accused is a white Frenchie and was accused by a black African immigrant; so what if she was privileged of acquainting herself with DSK's highly priced white phallus?
In judicial proceedings where a hostile or incredulous witness suddenly surprises the prosecution, the natural reaction for the prosecutor is to proceed with the case as if nothing happened to jolt the trial only to rehabilitate such witness later in the course of the proceedings. Also the prosecution could have tried to separate Nafissatou Diallo's past penchant for lying from her truthfulness in the present case, emphasising that "truth can sometimes also come from imbeciles or liars." Anyway since the case against DSK has now been summarily dismissed without any opportunity whatsoever to either establish his guilt or innocence through a trial for the crime of sexual assault charged and for which Dominique Straus Kahn lost his job at the IMF; Icheoku asks, isn't appropriate that he should get his job back or same returned back to him with full apologies tendered for embarrassing such a highly placed white Frenchman? And for Nafissatou Diallo, Icheoku says next time you do your part-time side job, servicing guests if your employers or former employers, please collect the money up front before going down on your knees to polish their knobs. Who says KING MONEY does not talk anymore and Dominique Strauss Kahn got a sack load of it and with it he purchased the finest criminal defense lawyers in New York and like the bulldogs they are, they extricated DSK from an assured prison gate.

OBASANJO IS NOT A REAL LEADER - FANI KAYODE!
It would seem that there is no longer any safe place for Olusegun Obasanjo as even his former minister and and a man from his Southwest Nigeria turf has now switched sides and is piling on the Otta Deity too! His former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani Kayode said that Olusegun Obasanjo is a fake leader and possibly an alien from Mars? According Fani, “The truth is that the loyalty and support that an individual gives to any leader must be reciprocated and any leader worth his salt knows this. A leader that takes his followers for granted and takes pleasure in the destruction, humiliation, travails, shame and political persecution of his own loyalists is not a real leader but something else. On the other hand the leader that stands by his loyalists through thick and thin and that reciprocates the commitment, love, support, compassion and loyalty that he receives from them is a true leader. As far as I am concerned that is the difference between OBJ and IBB. Babangida recognizes these things and is loyal to his own whilst Obasanjo does not.”
Icheoku now asks, when was the chalice poisoned between Fani and his former mentor Baba Iyabo or did the Evil genius make an offer Fani could not refuse that forced him to switch sides? The problem with Nigerians is that virtually everybody is sycophantic and pleads your case according to their pocket books, the reason why corruption is endemic in the society. Look at Fani Kayode speaking in this pedestrian language that Olusegun Obasanjo should have condoned the looting of the state by people like him by shielding them from the EFCC just because they were loyal to Obasanjo, if Icheoku understands him correctly? Yet this SOB forgot that they were called or chosen to serve the country diligently and not to loot it blind because their leader would or ought to get their back; and he is supposed to be a lawyer and speaking legally? What a shame that a man who have paraded himself thus far as being above board should now condescend into the cesspit to protest the none-protection policy of Obasanjo of people who commit some criminality of looting state's treasury?
Ironically Fani Kayode contradicted his apparent pay master, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, and by necessary implication called Babangida a liar by holding opposing views on the performance of Obasanjo in office. Babangida graded Obasanjo's eight years in office as a "complete failure" while this talking-drum here says that the same Obasanjo's "record of performance between 1999 and 2007 is first class and second to none." Icheoku says may the real Fani Kayode please stand up and state truthfully whose side he is on, instead of speaking from both sides of his mouth, trying to perform the impossible task of serving two masters at the same time. How can the same Obasanjo government be both a "complete failure" and at the same time, "first class and second to none" yet Babangida is right and the one injured by Obasanjo's hurtful remarks?
Fani Kayode also took umbrage at Obasanjo for "making a grave mistake and inflicting a deep spiritual wound on himself by insulting Babangida in the way that he did." But the same Fani Kayode cleverly forgot to mention that Babangida first stoked the flame by messing with a sleeping lion when he said that Baba Iyabo's government was a "complete failure." Icheoku refuses to accept that Fani Kayode does not appreciate such uncomplimentary statement by Babangida to be a 'grave mistake which inflicted spiritual wound on IBB" and that such comment qualifies and rises to an insult?' Icheoku hopes that we are not losing our faculty here trying to decipher this Fani Kayode's hydra-headed equivocation; except he is trying to be clever by half because no one individual has mastered the art of successfully serving two masters at the same time and it is not going to start with this Fani.
Understandably, Babangida's ability of staying with his loyalists should not be newsy as that is what every corrupt dictator and survivor the world over deploys to stay alive. Compromise them and make them dependent on your handouts and as a trade-off, they will take the bullets and put their hands in the blade, protecting the goose that lays their golden eggs. So where is the rocket science here for Fani not to understand why IBB is pathetically loyal to his loyalists as any endemically corrupt and compromising dictator is - people who share the same traits with mafia dons of the yore. Their trick is keep their loyalist in a short leech of permanent dependence and lengthen or shorten them depending on how they lick their behinds like the lap-dogs which they are, period! But conversely, the area-father himself is well versed in the art of surviving street fighting and does not particularly need anyone to fight his wars on his behalf. Obasanjo can personally take care of his business and does not need to keep the Fani Kayodes of Nigeria on a short leech of permanent dependence in order to maintain their purchased and induced loyalty.
The only sane truth in Fani's Punch Newspapers published diatribe against Obasanjo is that he acknowledged that Olusegun Obasanjo was "installed but not elected" president of Nigeria in 1999 through Babaginda's evil machinations of compromising anyone and everyone that stood in the way. In Fani's own confessional words, “President Obasanjo has to be eternally grateful to General Babangida because had it not been for the latter he would not have been released from jail, pardoned, rehabilitated, funded and installed as President in 1999.
Lastly, if according to Fani Kayode, Obasanjo's government was "second to none, making Obasanjo the greatest president Nigeria ever had;" Icheoku asks where does that claim then leave Babangida but in the dust of "second-rate none performed and worst president Nigeria ever had? Icheoku acknowledges that wrapping a hand around Fani Kayode's prevarication is rather an arduous task if not impossible at best; but if he intended to defend Babangida, he only succeeded in insulting him further by stating that Babangida's regime was left in the dust behind Obasanjo's government in terms of performance. If on the other hand he wanted to defend Obasanjo, Icheoku says calling someone "anything else" is not words of endearment at all; a matter made worse when he went a step further by categorically calling Baba Iyabo an ingrate and a fake leader from outer Space or did Icheoku hear someone yell "from MARS?"

ICHEOKU AND NIGERIANS AGREE WITH OBASANJO, BABANGIDA IS A FOOL!
Icheoku says the evil genius is a sore loser who like a jilted bride is now throwing tantrums because Obasanjo used and dumped him in the gutter of political irrelevance. If Babangida is not the fool Obasanjo said he is, why did he fall "muuguu" to Obasanjo who agreed when Babangida imposed him on Nigerians in 1999 to return the favor by handing Aso Rock keys back to Babangida in 2007 but later reneged. For allowing himself to be so outsmarted, used and dumped like a cheap $10 whore by the Otta deity, Icheoku affirms that only a fool is that thoughtless not to have a plan B or a water-tight agreement prior to checkmate OBJ and have him live by their bargain.
Babangida is only mad as hell because he never knew that someone is capable of dribbling the dribbler and Obasanjo has taken away the shine in his gnome genre Maradona! Now that everyone is in agreement that Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida is a fool and a greater one for that matter, Icheoku says may Nigerians now pivot to place a curse on anyone who shall ever try to interfere with God's plan for Nigeria - to expose two evil persons that held Nigeria hostage for too long, by either calling for a truce or trying a mediation. Icheoku calls on Nigerians to back off and stay out of the way of two moving freight trains that are heading at each other. When two elephants fights, the ground will take it and survive but both elephants will hear "nwii". It is about time God used both men to destroy each other one since other Nigerians have failed or are incapable or too afraid to take on either man.
The Gods are wise and not asleep; and the hour of reckoning is here. Good enough Obasanjo is an area father street-fighter, well seasoned in long protracted down and dirty, do or die brawl and since Babangida provoked the feud; he Babangida should have consulted Atiku Abubakar or Gbenga Daniel prior to understand that Baba Iyabo never backs out of any given fight. So Nigerians shall one day see a prostrating Babangida at the hilltop mansion in Abeokuta, begging for forgiveness before too long. What an early Christmas present for Nigerians and like McDonald's advert, Icheoku is loving it. Eventually both men will confess some hidden secrets as well as crimes they committed against the Nigerian people. Rumor has it that Babangida plans to implicate Obasanjo in the plane crash that killed the former Sultan of Sokoto and some Northern Nigerian political leaders while Obasanjo plans to implicate Babangida in the Ejigbo military plane crash that killed over 300 young military officers, drug dealings as well as the parcel bombing of Dele Giwa etc? Icheoku will not be surprised if Babangida throws in the murder of Attorney General Bola Ige? But whatever happens, Nigerians will be better off if both men self-destruct. What a jolly day it shall be and Icheoku will throw a big bash to celebrate the departure from this earth of two vile and demented human specimens whose coming to power in Nigeria was a curse rather than a blessing to the country.
So to "Complete Failure" and "A Fool at Seventy", with round one now over, when is round two coming? Nigerians are excitedly waiting and praying that the fight goes a full 12 rounds. Two former "statesmen" now turned into market women, publicly throwing mud at each other. Icheoku predicts that Baba Iyabo will win this fight; he never backs down in all his all is fair style of street brawling. While Babangida on the other side, assumes certain air of sophistication, though unmerited, which will prevent him from going full throttle at the Otta deity? But who knows whether IBB is part of Boko Haram suicide bombers on a suicide mission to Otta or Abeokuta otherwise how does any Nigerian explain Babangida's provocative "Complete Failure" outburst and he forgot the admonition that he lives in a glass house should not throw stones or that he who is with sin should not throw the first stone.

OBJ AND IBB BATTLE OF THE GENERALS, HOW THEIR COOKIE CRUMBLED?
Latest available information has it that a somewhat innocuous statement, a response to an inquiry sent the once cozy conspiratorial relationship between Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida to the cold doldrums. According to sources, the cataclysmic statement "it is not going to be possible" threw the spanner in their relationship which has so much deteriorated that they are now calling each other names and publicly. The story has it that during the ill-fated third term fight with his gods' attempt at elongating his presidency, Obasanjo reached out to Babangida for support. During their telephone call in respect of the agenda, Obasanjo allegedly said to Babangida, "You know, these people here have been asking me to extend my tenure, so what do you think? And tell me the truth." Babangida allegedly answered "Sir, it is not going to be possible."
Subsequently, when Babangida wanted to run for president in 2007, he reached out to Obasanjo over the telephone for his support and approval? So during a telephone call Babangida placed to Obasanjo, Babangida said, "Sir, people have been asking me to come out and contest the presidential election, what do you think?" Obasanjo true to type, sarcastically and dismissively replied Babangida in his exact own words, "Ibrahim, it is not going to be possible." So today, this two conspirators are trying to strangle each other just because of their respective "it is not going to be possible" responses to another's attempt to gain an illegal and criminal support? Icheoku says, it is good for the wind to sometimes blow to reveal the arse of the chicken; otherwise how could Nigerians have ever confirmed what they have always suspected all these years that there is a pact from hell between the Otta deity and the Minna fairy-toothed prince; which pact damaged Nigeria so badly it still stinks and sucks. The good news however is that the gods are wise and the chapter on Obasanjo and Babangida has now been opened by the good Lord himself and there is no escaping judgment for both men. Icheoku says, let the battle of the Generals take a turn for the worse!

OBJ AND IBB WAR OF THE WORLDS, THE FIGHT OF THE GENERALS!
You have heard about how bad it gets when two elephants fight, but the fight of two generals is as ferocious if not more kill-him-quick jugular-directed. Icheoku says it would appear that God has finally answered Nigerians prayers and now wants to expose the two most evil men in Nigeria, who messed up Nigeria so badly? Between them, they ruled Nigeria for 19 years out of her total 40 years of existence. Put in another way, IBB and OBJ put together ruled Nigeria for half of Nigeria's life. But what did Nigerians gain from their unfortunate journey to leadership, nothing but abject despondency, sorrow and tears; they left in their trail a country where nothing seem to be working as it is supposed to and where availability of power is an exception rather the norm and a damaged economy in near comatose. So it is about time they exposed their "yash", for all Icheoku cares!
Icheoku asks, could Ibrahim Babangida have been so mad at Obasanjo to lose his cool because of his investment in imposing him on Nigerians in 1999 as "elected" president which did not pay off as gambled? That Obasanjo went rogue and stopped Babangida cold from his planned reentry into Aso Rock as Nigeria's "elected" president should not surprise anybody including Babangida, so what then is the real beef? It could make some reasonable and honorable person mad, except that Babangida is none of that and was too foolish to think he is the only one with Maradona's tendencies or who could easily betray his friend. Remember that the murdered Chief MKO Abiola once admonished that "with a friend like IBB no one needs a an enemy" and so Icheoku is flabagasted that Babangida expected Obasanjo to honor their agreement to toss Nigeria around like a ping-pong between themselves? Or is it a case of the Igbo saying that "he who kills with the knife never allows someone with a knife to come behind him?" Here is a very treacherous and contriving man who never kept faith with his friends and even killed his best man at his wedding, Mamman Vasta; now throwing fit because another of his type reneged on an illegal contract to hand Nigeria back to him?
But whatever the case, Icheoku is loving this fight between the two Generals and pray that it never ends, there should never be a truce nor mediation of any kind until they confess their mortal sins against Nigeria. The gloves are finally off, now is bare-knuckles time and this two old and near senile men are going at each other like killer bears. What a scene they are creating in Nigeria similar to two bandits fighting over their loot. Icheoku would like to know if any of them is ready to divulge information on how Chief MKO Abiola was murdered or Dele Giwa parcel-bombed or Attorney General Bola Ige slaughtered in his dinning room while eating dinner? Nigerians are all ears to hear more from both "A Complete Failure" and "A Fool at Seventy" and no one including President Goodluck Jonathan should attempt to stop God's plan for Nigeria from being fully realized with the unmasking of this two depraved men of shit. President Jonathan must endeavor to stay out of the affray and resist any attempt to goad him into acting a peace-maker between this troubled men; and also should remember that what he has, Babangida wanted? Finally, Icheoku asks President Jonathan to avoid by all means necessary stepping between the front of this two fast moving freight-trains coming at each other on a single track and allow them to self-destruct and go to hell before they cause another civil war in Nigeria. Like President Jonathan stayed out of Ogun State's Obasanjo and Daniel's war of turf, he must also try and stay out of the unfolding OBJ and IBB war of failed expectations and let the good Lord take care of this men.

IBB TAKES A JAB AT OBJ, AS THE NORTH PILES ON THE OTTA DEITY!
Icheoku asks is it a case of a kettle calling the pot black or just a sore loser taking it out on the only man who could stop his ambition cold in Nigeria? Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida is a man Icheoku loathes so much because of his arrogant self-righteousness and inability to ever take direct blame for any of his numerous foibles. Several years after he annulled the freest and fairest election ever held in Nigeria, the evil genius is yet to take full responsibility and make a sincere mea culpa for that atrocious decision that is still convulsing Nigeria.
Yet in his usual holier than thou attitude, the criminal coup plotter, instead of accepting responsibility for his Northern Nigeria's imposition of Obasanjo on Nigeria in 1999, is here castigating his choice-candidate Olusegun Obasanjo in bad light as a failure? Quoting the toothy fairy Prince of Minna who has recently been leading the Islamic Northern Nigeria call to free another mass-murderer Major Hamza al-Mustapher, “If I had been lucky like those in the recent past, I would have done more than we did. In my eight years in office I was able to manage poverty and achieve success while somebody for eight years managed affluence and achieved failure.” Icheoku asks Babangida to please enumerate these alleged successes of his for the benefit of history and also explain to Nigerians what he did with the $12billion Iraqi oil windfall? Until then, Icheoku maintains that Babangida's single most important or notorious legacy is tied to the annulled June 12th presidential election of Chief MKO Abiola, period.
GOVERNOR RICK PERRY OF TEXAS, DOES NOT BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING?
The cowboy governor of the Lone Star State of Texas, the man who want to take Texas out of the Union by secession and belatedly a Republican presidential candidate nominee wanna-be, Rick Perry, has denounced global warming as a big hoax and denied that it was man-made. Governor Rick Perry also said that he would not have signed the recently compromised debt ceiling and would rather America defaulted, sending the world economy down the drain for all he cares?
Icheoku says when it comes to the type of people coming out of Texas and their intelligence quotient, America need not look any further but recall the past eight years of the other Texan, former President GW Bush. So little wonder that this latest entrant to the already choked-off Republican Party's presidential nomination race is just being a true Texan. Icheoku asks Governor Rick Perry to please explain the ongoing mother of all droughts currently afflicting his state of Texas, as evidenced by this picture of a partially dried out lake in Dallas (footprints are areas covered by water before). Or may be, it is a curse from On High for all the blood that Texas sheds by executing people? But in Texas, they are as loud as it gets and Icheoku wonders why a man who want to secede from the Union now wants to be president of the same union he hates to remain part of - the United States of America? Governor Rick Perry wanted his state OUT of America! Oh Rick Perry!

PAWLENTY CRASHES OUT OF 2012 GOP PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION BID!
It is now one less of Republican Party presidential candidates wanna-be as the once hopeful Timothy Pawlenty of Minnesota has been forced to withdraw from contention due to his abysmal performance so far and apparent rejection and unacceptability by the American people. The Iowa Straw poll did it for him and he recoiled back into his shell faster than a startled tortoise. Icheoku says, simply put, Tim is not man enough to soldier on and lacks the guts required of an American president!
Icheoku says a wish-washy Tim and a man who could not even take on Mitt Romney, the Mormon, should not expect to be allowed to fly the banner of the Republican Party into the 2012 presidential election. Now with Tim out of the way, the wanna-be numbers are not even thinning down as should ordinarily be the case - his place has been filled by the Texan secessionist Governor Rick Perry, who has thrown his hat into the ring? But America will not allow a man who wants to secede from the union to ever enter the White House, so no shaking. May be Tim Pawlenty can now leave politics alone and become an ordained pastor or a classroom professor where he perfectly fits and let politicians do their thing. But is America ready for a woman and a Bachman president; except that the 'good ole boys' Republicans will not let America decide that as they would knock off Michele before it gets to that decision time.

NIGERIAN KIDNAPPERS, RELEASE MIKEL OBI'S DAD AND FACE POLITICIANS!
Icheoku hereby call for the immediate release of the kidnapped father of Nigeria's soccer ambassador Mikel Obi. Nigerians in Diaspora are not the problem and are merely trying to provide for their families similarly tranded in the Nigerian State marooned economy like those kidnappers. Therefore it will be a great disservice to them and a debasing of their effort for those understandably frustrated Nigerians, forced into kidnapping for survival, to now vent their anger on the wrong people. Icheoku says the economic malaise in Nigeria was not caused by Diaspora Nigerians but by rudderless leadership of politicians and military men who are and were rather busy feathering their nests instead of doing what it takes to fix what is broken both politically and economically in Nigeria.
Please Nigerian kidnappers, stop this madness of kidnapping; but if you must, take a look at the people who brought the hardship on Nigerians - those leaders past and present who are not keen at solving Nigeria's multitude of problems. Also note that In Britain, following the recent riots, Prime Minister Cameron has promised to fix what is broken in the British society; and other ongoing and already successful revolutions in Africa should provide you a guiding compass as to where to direct your criminality. May be it is about time the energy being wasted in kidnapping innocent hardworking Nigerians, who are similarly frustrated as you, is channeled at the appropriate quarters. Take your grievances to where it ought to belong - Aso Rock, National Assembly as well as to your state governors and members of the various states house of assembly?
You have the wrong guy in Mister Obi senior as the president's mom or dad could have fetched you all the money in the world that you will ever need and possibly create in addition, a "Kidnappers Amnesty Fund and Program?" No one ever knows what criminality could truly fetch for a Nigerian until you ask a coup plotter like Ibrahim Babangida or those erstwhile Niger Delta oil-terrorists or their copycat Northern Nigeria Islamic Boko Haram terrorists, now being courted by the Federal government? All it takes is just an audacious and brazen grab of one top government official's parent and it is all good; as talks to find a lasting peace and resolution on kidnapping in Nigeria will commence immediately? Icheoku calls on Nigerian terrorists-kidnappers to please leave families of very hardworking Diaspora Nigerians alone. In their place, they should "bravely" go to Aso Rock and grab the president or his dad or mom and they are in business? What a madness that no one is now safe anywhere in his own country; and someone please tell Icheoku it is okay?
