MAY QUITS IN MAY: THERESA DOES NOT KNOW THAT BOYS DON'T CRY.

ICHEOKU says British Prime Minister could not deliver on her promised pulling out of Britain from the European Union and succumbed, surrendering her office in the process. So, effective June 7th, 2019, Theresa May will no longer be occupying 10 Downing Street as her office another shall take. A prime minister whose ascension into office was heralded with fanfare as Margret Thatcher 2.0, but she failed to sizzle and wow; and has now floundered out of office. 

A victim of the Brexit boondoggle monstrosity which has no end in sight and has so far defied every solution thrown at it. But it was not for lack of trying that did her in; as she did all she could possibly do within her powers to herald an outcome that is in consanguinity with the wishes of her British people, who voted to leave the European Union. But unfortunately, her best was not good enough and facing an inevitable push, she decided to jump instead, in order to save whatever was left of her face. 

However, it seems that Theresa May forgot to read her feminist manifesto that boys don't cry as she proved herself a gal. She lost her voice, becoming emotional as she broke down while rounding off her resignation speech. Her teary and trembling voice betrayed her deep emotions as ICHEOKU wondered whether it was because she failed in her job to accomplish Brexit or that she was being unfairly forced out of such perks-laden office by the men of Britain that induced her emotions. May be nobody told those men in the British House of Parliament to be nice and kind to her because she is a female, especially in the now gender-neutral society where everybody is just a human being, without any distinctions. ICHEOKU says could it be that Tessy's emotions were just another indication that certain things are still better left with the boys. 

Theresa May started off well with great expectations and the world was excited at the prospect of a Margret Thatcher 2.0, but her maiden flight was not successfully taken airborne, it was hounded by Brexit which has now claimed her as its latest casualty. ICHEOKU likes her fashion sense, admitted the British people expected more from their Prime Minister than well accessorized, color coded and coordinated nicely tailored outfits, fancy handbags and tasty shoes. She also commanded a stage presence that equates or rather should have equated well with effective leadership, but she failed to launch. 

However Theresa May was part of the globalists conspirators that wanted to stop President Donald John Trump from being elected president. Her British Secret Service participated in the coordination of the Russian Collusion nonsense with other conspirators in Washington DC, which the soon to be classified documents will surely show. ICHEOKU therefore is not sympathetic for her ouster and prays that everyone who participated in the Russian Collusion attempted coup will yield their own stages long before President Donald John Trump completes his second term in 2024. 

ICHEOKU says not withstanding the complicit, still wishes her well with any future endeavor which she decides to try her hands on. ICHEOKU and the rest of the world, especially those who call Britain home, awaits her successor to emerge and hopefully it will be Nigel Farage, admitted Boris Johnson will also be a good alternative. So long Tessy; all the best.

ALABAMA ABORTION LAW 2019: ABORTION IS A CHOICE: CHOOSE LIFE.

ICHEOKU says the biggest shocker coming from all those anti life, pro abortion feminist females, who are mad at the recently signed Alabama State Law restraining abortions, is their love for illegal immigrants' children coming from across the Southern borders. How could they love other peoples children, while at the same time, aborting their own children. What an irony. 

If they indeed truly love those illegal immigrants' children, who they advocate should not be put in cages and should be allowed free express entry into the United States of America, because they are beautiful innocent children; why then do they not have their own babies by carrying their own pregnancies to full term. But they have no compunction flushing their own babies out of their wombs through abortions on demand, while they continuously pretend to love other peoples' children. How could they do this convincingly and with straight faces, love other peoples' children but hate their own smooch as to kill them through limitless abortions on overdrive? 

If all those illegal immigrants mothers had emulated them and similarly aborted their own babies, which babies coming from across the Southern borders, would these feminists females of America, who just love sex without the responsibility of pregnancy, be loving. 

ICHEOKU says having sex is not a constitutional right, but a choice. Also, having sex without condom is not a constitutional right, but a choice. Further, having unprotected sex and not taking birth control pills, are both not constitutional rights either, but choices which these American women volitionally make; admitted they have refused to accept their responsibility in the whole pregnancy narrative. It is not just men who have sex with these women that are to blame as these women share greater responsibility in preventing pregnancies and there are available tools for that. 

So, whenever a woman makes that conscious decision to spread her legs or bend over, however the preference; and without properly reading her monthly cycle of fertility, with no contraceptives or other protection, she assumed the risk that she might get pregnant. Her decision not to be careful not to get pregnant should equally carry with it, the responsibility not to make an arbitrarily decision on what happens to the innocent life incubating inside her. The baby has a life too and it's right to be carried to full term and given birth to must therefore also be respected as well. When the child is born, if she does not want the baby, she has the option to give the baby up for adoption, as there are so many childless married couples looking for babies to adopt in America. So, instead of these couples traveling to Russia, China and sometimes to Africa to adopt babies, they will have a choice to adopt them right here in America. 

But it would seem that these heartless babies killers do what they do simply because they see pregnancy as an inconvenience, which will distort their bodies and therefore it must be terminated forthwith. They do not want all the stretch marks or the protruded stomachs or added body weight, including the many years it takes to raise a child, as well as the expenses involved. To this end however, the government should consider paying baby-subsidies to some of those women, whose only reason for resorting to abortion of their babies is economic hardship. But in any other event, any woman who cannot carry her baby to full term must learn to be proactive about it by not getting pregnant in the first place, case closed. 

ICHEOKU says therefore supports the Alabama Abortion Law 2019 which seeks to put reasonable restraint on abortions on demand, as it is a good effort at ending the out of control ceaseless babies slaughtering in America through abortions. It is a sensible government intervention that will help reduce the number of the 340,000 babies killed each year in America through abortions. America needs her babies born alive, as babies are the future of any society. We all were once babies and had our mothers aborted us all, there will be no us here today; including those babies killers, who are now depriving their own children their right to live by aborting them. ICHEOKU says killing of babies is not good and this is what the Alabama State new law seeks to curtail and therefore is a reasonable measure by the government to promote life. Choose life.

KANO EMIRATE BALKANIZATION: GOOD FOR DEMOCRACY.

ICHEOKU says every lover of democracy and people who abhor the concentration of too much powers in just one person, especially someone who was not elected by the people, should rejoice and felicitate with Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State for his bold audacity in whittling down the powers hitherto held by the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi III. 

ICHEOKU says by carving up Kano emirate into five emirates, the governor has reduced the powers once commandeered by the Emir of Kano and he can no longer be the it all of Kano State. A State with such a large population of nearly ten million people, spread across 44 Local Government Areas, which also is always a must win State for any presidential candidate in Nigeria who wants to enter Aso Rock and only just one man held sway there until now. Simply incredible ad incredulous.   

Anybody can call it whatever they like and they can also hate the governor all they like for doing what he did; but history will write him well for being such a revolutionary. That it was under his government that Kano Emirate became ordinary, just like any other chiefdom in Nigeria; and that no more shall only man be the demigod, exercising authority over such a large State and a population of that size. The beneficiaries of this great move by the governor, in addition to those people who have now been liberated through this carving up, are those Southerners who will run for office of the president in the future, who the Emir of Kano might not be favorably disposed to their candidacy. All they will now do is to try and sway at least two or three out of the now five emirs and they will become competitive in Kano State. 

Morseo the God-like status of the Emir of Kano has automatically been removed now, as he can no longer be a "God" with only 8 out of 44 Local Government Areas under his jurisdictional authority. A matter made worse because the Emir of Kano will no longer report directly to the Governor, but to the Local Government Chairman of Kano emirate. 

ICHEOKU says any such humbled Emir, who is worth his weight in gold, is expected not to accept such a humiliating diminishment and to resign from his office in protest, but will the egotistic corky Sanusi Lamido Sanusi yield the office or with him, the proverbial half loaf better than none made a great sense afterall? ICHEOKU says if Sanusi chooses to hang in there despite the whittling down of his powers and drastic reduction of his sphere of influence, the Governor should immediately commence proceedings for his removal and banishment from the emirate. 

This is the only sensible thing to do in order to effectively empower the newly installed emirs of the newly created emirates, so that all the emirs can start on equal footing, not beholding to Emir Muhammadu Sanusi III or trying to win his favor by needless servile genuflection and conspiratorial gang ups against each other. It is called a level playing field and this is imperative. It will also prevent the recreation in Kano State of the scenario of the once Ooni of Ife and Alafin of Oyo intractable feud of supremacy in former Oyo State. Kano State government must therefore take immediate step to dethrone Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Emir of Kano and appoint someone in his stead, who is loyal and who together with the other newly appointed four emirs, will grow together under the new reality of a Kano State with five emirates. 

But for corruption, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi would not be the Emir of Kano because he is not the naturally arising heir to the throne, not with a direct son of the past late Emir Ado Ibrahim alive and fully grown up. A similar thing happened in Sokoto State Sultanate when Sani Abacha was forced to correct the misdeed of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida who had appointed Ibrahim Dasuki to succeed late Sultan Abubakar Siddique, who had living direct heirs, who were bypassed to install Dasuko as the 18th Sultan. Abacha, by naming Ibrahim Muhammadu Maccido dan Abubakar, the son of the late Sultan, the 19th Sultan and banishing Dasuki from the Sokoto Sultanate, Sokoto regained its peace. Kano State needs a similar full sanitizing by removal of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Emir of Kano. 

ICHEOKU says in the interest of Kano State and in order for the newly created four additional emirate councils to have a smooth take off, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje must remove Emir Sanusi Muhammadu III from office and banished him from Kano State forthwith. In the interest of consolidation of the newly created emirates, it is imperative that this is done; it the only thing that remains to be done urgently and it is the only thing that makes sense under the circumstances, as it will help nurture the now five emirate council status of Kano State. 

Failure to do so and in view of the soon to be constituted Kano State council of Emirs, the Emir of Kano will aspire to become its permanent chairman and by so doing recover his lost territory and powers by proxy of his chairmanship of the council. There is a need to completely sever the head of the snake and only his dethronement and banishment on a forced exile will do the magic. Governor Ganduje must quickly act now and forever close that chapter of a once was, Emir of Kano named Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Muhammadu III. Away with SLS and do it now!

TRADE WAR: IT IS GAME ON CHINA.

ICHEOKU says a no nonsense business mogul turned president, who understands how deals are made; the man who authored The Art of the Deal, President Donald John Trump, has once again shown that he does not usually bluff. That he always says what he means and always means what he says; and that whenever he makes a promise, he intends to keep the promise. 

The promise maker and promise keeper, has once again kept his promise to make China either negotiate an acceptable trade deal or it is tariffs all the way.  President Donald John Trump, tired of Chinese foot dragging in making an acceptable trade deal, has imposed tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese exports to America. 

ICHEOKU says definitely a case of he who has the gold determining the tune and China has little to zero choice in the matter. It has a bludgeoning 1.6 billion people to feed and also provide employment for and will need all the markets it can find, including the American golden market for its products, in order to keep its factories humming and food on the tables of her citizens who are working in those production lines. So any disruption to the chain of production as a result of reduced demand because of increased prices, will surely take a serious hit on China's overall economy. 

But will the even cunning China find a way to wriggle its way out of this tariffs or be forced to come to the table of negotiation with a sincerity of purpose or completely call the bluff the United States of America? Only time will tell as China now has a choice to make as it sees fit, either to play ball or remain obstinate. 

ICHEOKU says fully and completely supports the move by President Donald John Trump to hold China accountable and force its compliance to acceptable fair trade practises and business relationship. It will also curb Chinese everlasting cutting of corners and taking undue advantage of a once skewed trade relationship with America. Enough of the cheating and enough of allowing the Chinese to get away with nearly everything they wanted, just to help them get somewhere; a privilege which they have continuously abused until President Donald John Trump came into office to say enough is enough. 

Anyway, as ICHEOKU, alongside the interested world, wait to see what happens following the newly imposed tariffs; hopefully, China will realize that their game is up and that they have only one choice in the matter, to negotiate in good faith an acceptable and fair trade deal with America, period.

PROBE THE EMPEROR.

“If Obasanjo gets away without being investigated, the bigger loser will not be Obasanjo, but Nigeria. What Obasanjo did in office, and the reason that people are calling for him to be probed was done with arrogance, indiscipline and impunity. Not to probe him is to protect him. To protect him is to betray the constitution and the people of Nigeria in favor of yet another privileged citizen, called Olusegun Matthew Okikiola Aremu  Obasanjo.” - Sonala Olumhense.

ICHEOKU says completely aligns thought with the position above and adds that such  feeling of invincibility and a mentality of untouchability is the bane of the African leaders, especially one who prides himself as the demigod of Nigeria. 

OUTRAGE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX: MUELLER'S CASE IS CLOSED - MCCONNELL.

"It's now been more than six weeks since special counsel Bob Mueller, the former FBI director, concluded his investigation into Russia's interference in our 2016 election and delivered his findings to the Justice Department. It's been two weeks since Attorney General William Barr made the 450-page report public. This investigation went on for two years. It's finally over. 

Many Americans were waiting to see how their elected officials would respond. With an exhaustive investigation complete, would the country finally unify to confront the real challenges before us? Would we finally be able to move on from partisan paralysis and breathless conspiracy theorizing, or would we remain consumed by unhinged partisanship and keep dividing ourselves to the point that Putin and his agents need only stand on the sidelines and watch us as their job is actually done for them? 

Regrettably, the answer is pretty obvious. So that's what I want to discuss this morning. Russia's interference in American elections, the work of the special counsel and the attorney general, and how we can finally end this Groundhog Day spectacle, stop endlessly re-litigating a two and a half-year-old election result and move forward for the American people. Now, Madam President, it bears remember what this investigation was actually supposed to be about: Russian interference in 2016. For many of the president's opponent opponents had quickly morphed into something else. The last hope that maybe they'd never have to come to terms with the American people's choice of a president. 

In some corners, special counsel Mueller came to be regarded as a kind of secular saint, destined to rescue the country from the inconvenient truth that the American people actually elected Donald Trump. For two years many of the president's opponents seemed to be hoping the worst conspiracy theories were actually true. They seemed to be hoping for a national crisis for the sake of their own politics. Now look, I will say it was at least heartening, heartening to see many of my Democratic colleagues and the media abruptly awaken to the dangers of Russian aggression. An awakening to the dangers of Russian aggression. Remember not long ago Democrats mocked, mocked Republicans like John McCain and Mitt Romney for warning about the dangers posed by Putin's Russia. 

Remember President Obama's quip back in 2012 when then-governor Romney emphasized his concerns with Russia. Here's what President Obama said when Mitt Romney emphasized his concerns with Russia back in 2012. Direct quote: "The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back." That was President Obama in 2012. 

Well, look, I think many of us now see that President Obama's approach to Russia could have used some more of the 1980s, more Ronald Reagan, and less Jimmy Carter. We would have been better off if the Obama administration hadn't swept Putin's invasion and occupation of Georgia under the rug or looked away as Russia forced out Western NGOs and cracked down on civil society. If President Obama hadn't let Assad trample his "red line" in Syria or embraced Putin's fake deal on chemical weapons. If the Obama administration had responded firmly to Putin's invasion and occupation of Ukraine in 2014 to the assassination of Boris Nemtsov in 2015 and to Russian intervention in Syria. 

May be stronger leadership would have left the Kremlin less emboldened. Maybe tampering with our democracy wouldn't have seemed so very tempting. Instead, the previous administration sent the Kremlin the signal they could get away with almost anything, almost anything. So is it surprising that we got the brazen interference detailed in special counsel Mueller's report? A concerted effort to divide Americans through social media campaigns, hacking into the e-mail accounts and networks of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party. Thanks to the investigation, we know more about these tactics. Thanks to the investigation, 13 Russians, three Russian companies, and 12 more Russian intelligence officers have been indicted. 

These are the people who really did seek to undermine our democracy. Yet curiously many of our Democratic colleagues and most of the news media don't seem to really care about that. New insight into defending America, Russian nationals indicted doesn't seem to interest my colleagues across the aisle. No interest. Just like there's been little interest in the steps this administration has taken to make Russia pay for its interference and strengthen America's hand. Election interference was just one part in Russia's strategy to undercut the United States. And this administration has taken the problem head-on. 

We have a new coherent national security strategy and national defense strategy that actually take the threat seriously. We have new sanctions. We've provided Georgia and Ukraine with weapons to better defend themselves, capabilities the previous administration denied our partners -- now listen to this -- out of fear of provoking Russia. We've worked against pipeline projects like Nord Stream Two that would further expand Putin's influence. We strengthened and reformed NATO so the alliance can present a united front. We improved Russia's compliance with the I.N.F. and walked away from a treaty that Moscow had turned into a sham. And the Trump administration has over Russian objections twice enforced President Obama's red line in Syria after Assad's use of chemical weapons. 

Now with respect to election security, Congress appropriated hundreds of millions of dollars to state governments to shore up their systems. The administration increased information sharing from the Department of Homeland Security in cooperation with the states. And according to press reports, the Department of Defense has expanded its capabilities and authorities to thwart cyber threats to our democracy. No longer will we just hope, hope Moscow respects our sovereignty. We will now defend it. 

These are just a few examples, Madam President, and there's already evidence they're having an effect. We just had the 2018 mid-term elections. Thanks to this administration's leadership, all 50 states and more than 1,400 local election jurisdictions focused on election security like never before. DHS provided resources to localities for better cybersecurity and private social media companies monitored their own platforms for foreign intelligence. Thanks to efforts across the federal government in 2018, we were ready. That clearly is progress. 

The Mueller report will help us. So will the upcoming report from the Select Committee on Intelligence, these threats and challenges are real. Our responsibility to strengthen America is serious and it requires serious work. 

But speaking of serious, seriousness is not what we've seen from the Democratic Party in recent days. Not serious. What we've seen is a meltdown, an absolute meltdown, an inability to accept the bottom line conclusion on Russian interference from the special counsel's report, which said the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities. That's the conclusion. Two years of exhaustive investigation and nothing to establish the fanciful conspiracy theories that Democratic politicians and TV talking heads had treated like a foregone conclusion. 

They told everyone there had been a conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign, yet on this central question, the special counsel's finding is clear: Case closed. Case closed. 

This ought to be good news for everyone, but my Democratic colleagues seem to be publicly working through the five stages of grief. First stage is denial. Remember what happened when the attorney general released his preliminary letter describing the special counsel's bottom line legal conclusion? Denial. 

Immediately, totally baseless speculation that perhaps Attorney General Barr hadn't quoted the report properly. But then, madam president, come stage two. Anger. Anger. Welcome to Washington in recent days. The Democrats are angry, angry that the facts disappointed them. Angry that our legal system will not magically undo the 2016 election for them. And they've opted to channel all their partisan anger on to the attorney general. They seem to be angrier at Bill Barr for doing his job than they are at Vladimir Putin. This is a distinguished public servant whose career stretches back almost 50 years. He's widely respected. Nobody claims he has any prior personal allegiance to this particular president. 

And why are they angry? Why are they angry? Did the attorney general fire the special counsel? Or force him to wind down prematurely? No. Did he sit on the Mueller report? Keep it secret? No. He reported out his bottom line legal conclusions and then released as much as possible for the world to see. Did he use redactions? Did he use redactions to mislead the public? No. Working with the special counsel team, he released as much as possible within standard, standard safeguards. 

So it's hard to see, Madam President, the source of the anger. Maybe our Democrat colleagues are thinking of some strange new kind of cover-up where you take the entire thing you're supposedly covering up and post it on the internet. The claims get more and more utterly absurd. Baseless accusations of perjury, laughable threats of impeachment look, we all know what's going on here. This whole angry barrage the Democrats had prepared to unleash on President Trump, except the facts let them down. 

And so the left has swung all these cannons around and fired them at the attorney general. Not for any legitimate reason. Just because he is a convenient target. So look, Madam President, there is this outrage industrial complex that spans from Capitol press conferences to cable news. 

They are grieving. They are grieving that the national crisis they spent two years wishing for did not materialize. But for the rest of the country, this is good news. Bad news for the outrage industrial complex. But good news for the country. So now they are slandering a distinguished public servant because the real world has disappointed them. Instead of taking a deep breath and coming back to reality, our colleagues across the aisle want to shoot the messenger and keep the perpetual outrage machine right on on going. Even undermining the institution of the attorney general itself in the process. 

So remember, Russia set out to sow discord, to create chaos in American politics, and undermine confidence in our democracy. But on that front, given the less total fixation on delegitimizing the president, the president Americans chose and shooting any messenger who tells them inconvenient truths, I'm afraid the Russians hardly need to lift a finger. Hardly need to lift a finger. Well, madam president, the last stage of grief is acceptance. For the country's sake, I hope my Democratic friends will get there sometime soon." - Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader.

IT'S A BOY: CONGRATULATIONS!

ICHEOKU say hearty congratulations to the new mom and dad, Duchess Meghan Merkel and Duke Harry of Sussex, as they welcome their new baby boy, the newest princely addition to the British Royal Family. What an epochal development as history is continuously being made by the maverick British Prince and Duke of Sussex Harry, who has thus far, broken so many records of long held British traditions. 

First he married a foreigner, a black, a non virgin, a divorcee and a woman who is older than him and now has produced a black prince and possible heir to the British throne. This is such a trail blazing developments that, with a black prince now added to the British Royal Family, Britain might some day wake up to a black King, courtesy of Meghan and Harry fairly tale crossing of paths. 

ICHEOKU says the yet to be named prince is now 7th in the line of succession to the British Throne. Although his chances of ever mounting the throne is a distant and remote possibility, but miracles do sometimes happen, so, it is still possible that Britain could one day have a black King. The new prince and his mother, Duchess Meghan are doing well, according to an elated dad and husband Prince Harry. ICHEOKU says congratulations to the family.

FACEBOOK CENSORSHIP OF FREE SPEECH: NOT PROGRESSIVE.

ICHEOKU says Mark Zuckerberg is increasingly acting like a despot who hates to hear differing opinions and by selectively banning some people from his portal, has made it clear that he is averse to people holding opinions which he does not agree with and therefore deemed unacceptable. 

It is the stuff despots are made of, the reason journalists are killed and imprisoned all over the world, including in Malta, Africa, Russia and China, simply because they wrote what despotic governments did not want written. If Mark Zuckerberg could do this, wield such absolute power with his Facebook, imagine what he will morph into, were he to ever become president; may be turn America into an autocratic society with him as the absolute maximum ruler. Exactly what an abuse of power really looks like, that were Facebook a public utility, many would have since rushed to court to challenge such an overkill. 

But what is free speech anyway if people are not allowed to freely express their thoughts themselves and hold contrarian's opinions. How would Marck Zuckerberg have felt if when he was starting his Facebook, he was banned by mainstream media, as a threatening contrarian, who will not only disrupt their business, but will also hold different opinions and introduce different ways of disseminating news. Query, who determines what constitutes unacceptable opinion for purposes of not invoking the wrath of Mark Zuckerberg and meeting his Facebook threshold? For example, it is not everyone that agrees and likes views expressed in favor of homosexuality, abortions and illegal immigrations; yet nobody who is advocating and championing these viewpoints was banned by Mark Zuckerberg for disseminating "dangerous viewpoints"; but others are banned for expressing viewpoints which Mark and his group does not like. Really?

What makes a society rich and free is the diversity of opinions, especially a society like America with diverse human beings. Therefore ICHEOKU says Mark Zuckerberg, by banning Louis Farrakhan, Alex Jones, Paul Nehlen, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer and Infowars, have introduced a new dimension of censorship into American free society and a sure threat to American free speech. It is condemnable and it should be condemned by every freedom loving individual, who does not want to live or exist in a gulag society, where only what Mark Zuckerberg wants to see on his Facebook is what is written or allowed and permitted on Facebook. 

Such banning is petty and quite belittling of a man who has such a huge profile and is capable of becoming a real world leader and should be able to live above board of petty partisanship and crass intolerance. Who is he to decide what is good for the world and what parameters did he use to determine that, afterall one man's meat could be another man's poison. How will Mark Zuckerberg feel if the government decides to ban Facebook or the Internet administrators decide to unhook and take Facebook off the World Wide Web net. 

As always, anybody could be a demon depending on who is doing the judging and making the assessment. Mark Zuckerberg forgot that the people he banned from Facebook have millions of people who are their followers and who could no longer get their version of news and entertainment because Mark Zuckerberg made a determination that what are offered to them is not kosher and good enough for them. Meanwhile, by so doing, he is assuming that these people lack the capacity to make their own decisions and decide what is good for them. 

Nelson Mandela was once deemed a terrorist by white South African apartheid government and their British, European and American supporters; but to his people of South Africa, he was and remains a hero. Ditto Martin Luther King Jr who the then FBI director John Edgar Hoover considered an enemy of the State, but who black Americans saw as a liberator and savor. Mahatma Gandhi was similarly once seen by British colonialists as a terrorist, but he liberated India from British occupation and entered the annals of history as an Indian heroic figure; and the story goes on of so many such people who were viewed differently, depending on who was doing the viewing. 

Mark Zuckerberg should have remained above the fray of snow flakes partisanship and see himself as an impartial arbiter, sort of a father figure of the social media world, and not take sides in the battle of ideology and allow the superior argument to win. Why ban people for speaking their minds, instead of defeating their opinion with superior counter opinions. It is like the court, you go there to argue your case and a judge does not ban a party to the case because the judge disagrees with their case, rather the judge listens to both sides of the argument and rule for the superior side to eventually win. 

ICHEOKU therefore calls on Mark Zuckerberg to review his decision and unban the banned. It is called fairness and those contrarians' were not even given the opportunity to defend their opinions before the ban. No justice, no peace. Such differing opinions enriches Facebook more than it diminishes it, because without them, content of Facebook will be too generic and too boring and its growth would have been stunted. 

Anyone who cannot stand a differing viewpoint should please not read the differing viewpoint, period. They should just turn to another WALL and read whatever makes them happy and comfortable. ICHEOKU has never visited any of those fellas' WALLS nor is a fan of theirs; but fairness and justice demand that they too be allowed on Facebook and their opinions, no matter how seemingly reprehensible, be allowed to fertilize the minds which savor them. For example, CNN is not a good news network and suffers abysmal viewership rating, but nobody has banned CNN from conducting its business. It is called change the channel. If you cannot stand the heat in the kitchen, take a break, walk away and go to the living room or patio or backyard; but do not turn off the stove, otherwise dinner will not be served.  

Enough of this lingering pandering to the leftist snow flakes because they do not own this world, admitted many of them are having their moment in the sun with the Internet driven social media. But before them, were the Ford, the Edison, the Vanderbilt, the Carnegie, the Waltons and none of these pioneers ever dictated who bought their products or was allowed into their business premises to conduct commerce, so why now Facebook? Every person must not first live a life of conformity to the snow flakes peculiar idiosyncrasy to be acceptable. We are not all the same people and therefore our thinking must not be forcibly synchronized into a chorister. Variety is vitality and without these supposed "horrible" people, the world will not appreciate the good people. 

Evil exists for good to be appreciated. God did not ban evil, but allowed a co-existence of both evil and good so that people could appreciate the good and thereby glorify God. If one has never been poor, he will never appreciate richness when he gets there. You get hungry in order to appreciate food, otherwise it will lose its value. Mark Zuckerberg must therefore be able to tolerate people who are not like him nor thinks like him and who express different thoughts. 

Anybody who cannot stand or tolerate contrary opinions has some complex problem, as a "my way or the highway" is a mark of despotism by those who lack self confidence and who cannot stand a challenge to their authority. Such intolerance leads to dictatorship and eventually foists a group think and is dangerous for innovation, as it is inimical to adventure of thoughts. North Korea, China and Russia as well as a lot of African dictatorships have such constrained thought syndrome; and unless Mark Zuckerberg is telegraphing a message that there is now a full blown Facebook dictatorship, this ban is BAD and dangerously so and must be undone.

Therefore Mark Zuckerberg must prove himself to be above all these pettiness and allow contrarians to also exist on Facebook. The diversity of thought is good for a complete and well rounded exposition. Mark Zuckerberg cannot be advocating for a diverse American society, while simultaneously muffling diversity of thoughts within the same American society. Anyone who does not like what those contrarians say, should steal their thunder by saying their own better and louder, in order to override and eclipse them; but not through unfair action such as banning them. Facebook rose to where it is today because of competition; they gave the world what the world likes and the world accepted them; otherwise where is MYSPACE today? 

Imagine if Facebook was banned then because it was contrary to MYSPACE or expressed viewpoints considered not good for society, will there be a global phenom known as Facebook today. How can Facebook be preaching bringing the world together and yet pushing millions of people out from the world of Facebook; and away from the expressed desired unity; or is Facebook's idea of a unified world only for the adherents of Facebook religion of Mark Zuckerberg an this gospel of only acceptable viewpoint doctrine. It simply does not make sense wielding the big sledgehammer on a few people on a platform that has billions of people. It is petty and it is an overkill and therefore avoidable. Mark Zuckerberg should be bigger than this and therefore should immediately unban the banned. 

MUELLER FOUND NOTHING, CASE CLOSED - PRESIDENT TRUMP.

"Everything he wanted he got; no expenses was spared and no cap to his spending was fixed, even though I didn't have to. All the witnesses he wanted to interview, I let him even though I didn't have to. I also did not invoke any executive privilege either, even though I had it but did not use it. I gave him 1.4 million documents, even though I didn't have to. I let him interview White House counsel for over 30 hours, even though I could have not allowed it, but I didn't. 

I did all these not because I am foolhardy, but because I am convinced of my innocence and have nothing to hide. I did not do any of the things which I was accused of doing and I know that there was nothing there for them to find and they did not find anything. A full and complete exculpation, no COLLUSION and no OBSTRUCTION, case closed. Now, it is time to get back to work, doing what we have been doing for the American people since January 2017 inauguration; making America Great Again. Great job numbers." - President Donald John Trump.

EMPEROR NARUHITO: VERY REGAL

ICHEOKU says may his reign over Japan, steering the Yamoto Dynasty, sitting on the Chrysanthemum Throne on his Reiwa Era, last long. ICHEOKU says congratulations His Majesty, Emperor Naruhito of Japan.

JAPAN HAS A NEW EMPEROR: HURRAY!

ICHEOKU says a country steeped in traditions dating back thousands of years and still proudly holding on to them, has transitioned into a new Reiwa era with a new emperor. Emperor Naruhito takes over from his retired father and former Emperor Akihito as the 126th Emperor and successor to the Chrysanthemum Royal Throne of Japan, founded in 660 BC and reputedly the world's longest lasting hereditary monarchy that has remained unbroken for more than two thousands years. 

He is 59 years old and ascended to the throne following his father's abdication due to failing old age. This now leaves British Queen Eliza as the oldest monarch in the world who has refused to yield the crown, thus left Prince Charles wondering what he did wrong. Even Pope Benedict abdicated the papacy to make way for Pope Francis to step in. 

The new Emperor said that he will follow in his father's foot steps and make the pursuit of peace and staying close to his subjects his cardinal aspiration. According to him, a leader should always be praying for peace and sharing joys and sorrows of his people, while also showing compassion. In his own words, Emperor Naruhito said, "When I think about the important responsibility I have assumed, I am filled with a sense of solemnity. I sincerely pray for the happiness of the people and the further development of the nation as well as the peace of the world. 

Japan a purely male dominant society, where masculinity exemplified in the Samurai warrior tradition, still reigns supreme; the reason their society is efficiently run and functionally top notch. His wife and daughter, Empress Masako and daughter, 17-year-old Princess Aiko were not allowed to witness his investiture ceremony, which only adult male members of the Royal Family participated in. He was given a mirror, a sword and a gem as symbols of his new authority; centuries old ritual empowerment symbols which has not left the Japanese Royal family since its inception. 

The new Emperor has no son of his own and by extension has no direct heir apparent; making his younger brother, Crown Prince Akishino, 53, and the brother's 12-year-old son, his nephew, Prince Hisahito, both line successors to the Chrysanthemum Throne. His daughter, 17 year old Princess Aiko is out of luck. 

The new Emperor will now carry on with the Japanese monarchy as the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people, becoming His Majesty in the Imperial House of Japan, traditionally known as Yamoto Dynasty. ICHEOKU wishes him well and prays, may whatever he believes in provide him guidance and protection as his Reiwa era now gets underway.

BERNIE SANDERS: ALREADY RIGGED OUT AGAIN?

ICHEOKU says for a man who just entered the race for nomination of the Democratic  Party's presidential candidate for 2020, to assertively be campaigning against a sitting president, without first demolishing the 19 other Democrats seeking the same party's presidential nomination is either the height of a condescending arrogance or the fix is already in, to rig the primaries in his favor. 

And yes, former Vice President Joe Biden is as an insider establishment candidate as it can get; as no other person currently marshaled out and running for the coveted flag bearer position of the party is as entrenched as a man who has spent 44 years and counting in Washington DC. Now, instead of first fighting to survive the Democratic Party's nomination primaries, Joe Biden is talking as if he has the nomination already securely tucked away in his pocket and only looking forward to taking on President Donald John Trump. 

ICHEOKU says once beaten, twice shy; and as former President George W. Bush once reminded Americans, 'fool me once, shame on you; but fool me twice, shame on me'; begging the question, will Bernie Sanders accept to be had twice by the Democratic Party establishment without a fight? The last time, it was against Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee rigged the primaries against him and in favor of Hillary Clinton. This time, it is looking like a repeat of what happened then is likely to happen again and you ask yourself, will he accept the same DNC rigging of the primaries against him and in favor of Joe Biden? This is the $64,000 question and unless Bernie Sanders is prepared to display his usual ever loyal party man attitude and agree to step out of the way for Joe Biden, there will be trouble in paradise as Bernie Babies will not accept it, at least not this time and not after what they suffered in 2015/6. 

Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders was given an opportunity on Anderson Cooper 360 to react to what is apparently a gathering conspiracy against him which pushed Joe Biden's candidacy upfront, but he shied away from it. Instead of answering the question he became coy about it, saying that beating President Donald John Trump is paramount and more important than any other thing. It was the same way he blew an opportunity for a lifeline in 2016 when he was asked about Hillary Clinton's emails and instead of taking the lead and running with it, dismissively said that Americans are tired of hearing about the emails and that everybody should move on from it. That was the day he unofficially lost the nomination to Hillary Clinton and it seems a similar loss is now threatening him by his not standing firm against a Democratic Party that is bent on not allowing him to fly their presidential ticket flag come 2020. 

Why the Democratic Party which is supposed to be democratic as their name suggests do this to Bernie Sanders is beyond ICHEOKU; except to guess it is possibly because he is not a member of the Democratic Party, but an Independent who caucuses with and votes alongside Democrats. Moreso, Bernie Sanders is rather too extreme left wing for the mainstream Democrats who do not want to stay idly by and watch as Bernie Sanders drags their middle of the centre party off the cliff and into a full blown socialism cum communism. So, call it the fear of Bernie Sanders if you like, but there is something about Bernie that indeed scares the Democrats so much that they are not prepared to risk their presidential candidacy with him. 

ICHEOKU says but watching Joe Biden's first campaign stop today in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and hearing him say "folks, if I’m going to be able to beat Donald Trump in 2020, it’s going to happen here", suggests that he has already obtained the assurances of the party honchos that he will be the party's nominee in 2020. He steadily speaks and acts like a man who has been told not to worry about Bernie Sanders and the other wanna be presidential candidates; and should concentrate his attacks on President Donald John Trump. ICHEOKU says how could this be possible without him first vanquishing other contenders including Bernie Sanders, before fixing his eyes on the president, except he has been assured of the nomination of the party. A guy who is playing fairly and within the same set of rules, should by now be talking about taking on the other candidates who are also gunning for the ticket and explaining why he is the best of them all. But instead, he is already talking and acting as if he is the CHOSEN ONE and that Bernie Sanders and others do not exist or are no contenders and stand no chance whatsoever at clinching the nomination. 

Anyway, Joe Biden will definitely present the least resistance to President Donald John Trump reelection 2020 effort. He is frail, tired, old and looking so worn out and will not withstand the rigors of a nearly two year long running presidential campaign. Also, he is part of the Barack Obama lackluster presidency which dug America into the hole which President Donald John Trump is laboring to dig it out of. So, with nothing new under his belt, except the rehash of what Americans have since rejected and moved on from, it is going to be another Hillary Clinton experience come November 3, 2020. ICHEOKU says the question now is whether Bernie Sanders will allow the Democrats to once again shaft him by denying him his moment in the sun to fly the Democratic Party's presidential flag; otherwise head or tail, Biden or Sanders, Trump wins 2020. 

The president succinctly captured this essence when he tweeted “I’m only here because of Biden & Obama. They didn’t do the job and now you have Trump, who is getting it done – big time!” Further, Trump defeated the person who defeated Sanders in the primaries, so both silver haired grandpas are very weak candidates and they will stand no chance squaring up with President Donald John Trump come 2020. Why they are running is beyond ICHEOKU, but at least Bernie Sanders has a strong motivated base and he has more energy than Joe Biden and is in all fairness a better candidate than Joe Biden, the two compared. But Bernie Sanders must strive not to allow the Democrats National Committee to once again steal the nomination by pushing him aside again. At least not this time, definitely the last chance he will ever get at running for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, his advanced old age considered. Go Bernie.

RUSSIAN COLLUSION DELUSION IS OVER - TRUMP

ICHEOKU says agrees. Only that the Democrats and their media hordes have not accepted that they ran on fumes for nearly two years and only came out clutching the wind of their obsession. What a pitiful wastage of time, resources and energy. #MAGA2020. Salute.

MEULLER REPORT: A RUSSIAN COLLUSION ILLUSION, SIMPLY DELUSIONAL.

ICHEOKU says no group of people have been as shamelessly dishonorable as the extreme far left wing of the Democratic Party. A people who have refused to MOVE-ON from the November 8, 2016 presidential election, which their Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton lost, fair and square, despite it being hers for the grab. A group of maniacally dysfunctional nut jobs, who have refused to accept the result of an election, which they once cried wolf that the then candidate Donald John Trump was threatening America's democracy by saying that he will not "accept" the result of the election, if it is not fair. But now, they are the ones still holding out, nearly three years after, and have been inventing all manners of indescribables just to continue to protest the result of an election which their very incompetent and much loathed candidate lost. 

It is also incredible to note that it was the same people who formed the MOVEON.ORG back in the 1998 to urge Americans to move on from the then President Bill Clinton's Monica Lewinsky sex scandal. But they will not themselves and have refused to now MOVE-ON, in a like manner, from a non existent Russian Collusion and Obstruction of Justice allegation against President Donald John Trump, which the Robert S. Mueller's investigation has conclusively ruled did not occur. What an irony. A case of the hypocritical Pharisee who preaches "do what I say, but not what I do", as leadership by example is not their strongest suit; otherwise why won't they concede that an election was held and that they lost it. That there is a duly elected president of the United States of America and that his name is Donald John Trump and not Hillary Clinton. 

They cried foul when then candidate Donald John Trump conditioned his acceptance of the election result on it being fair; with their former President Barack Obama chiding Donald John Trump for saying that he will not accept the election result if rigged. It is on record that then President Barack Hussein Obama assured Americans that American presidential election is rig-proof and cannot be rigged by anyone, including the Russians, due to the staggered nature of the election which is primarily controlled by individual States respectively. Following which, every manner of curve balls were thrown on the path of Donald John Trump to derail his campaign and make him unelectable. His campaign was spied on, with findings possibly being fed to the Hillary Clinton's campaign. Bill Clinton was also caught meeting with the Attorney General Lauretta Lynch in Arizona and against all acceptable practice standards, while his wife and then Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was being investigated by the FBI for deleting and bleach washing 33,000 thousand emails. 

The world media led by American media piled on candidate Donald John Trump, alongside the Democratic Party, a sitting president and his government, the Never Trumpers wing of the Republican Party led by the Bush family, some world leaders including then president of France and even the pope, in their collective bid to stop Donald John Trump from the White House and save their new world order. But against all odds, his message percolated and resonated among real American people and they rose up in unison to usher him into their White House and saved America from an erosion which threatened its foundational existence. Defeated and ashamed, and without any meaningful explanation for their humiliating defeat, they had to shamelessly invent a narrative that the Russians helped Donald John Trump win the election; and without any evidence, went ahead to set up the Robert S. Mueller investigation to find a Russian Collusion nonsense which never existed. 

After nearly two years of uninhibited access to whoever witness and whatever documents they desired and wanted, including reviewing over one million documents from the president's White House, his campaign and the Trump Organization, they came up empty, because there was nothing there to find. But to every decent human being's chagrin, the same Mueller that conclusively determined that there was no Collusion with the Russians, refused to rule decisively on whether there was Obstruction of Justice by the President. A matter which he further complicated by adding that his investigation could not exonerate President Donald John Trump either, leading to the question, when did a criminal investigation in America become an exonerating of the accused exercise? 

ICHEOKU says America's Criminal Justice system is designed to prove a crime beyond reasonable doubt; hence any investigation leading up to a charge must establish and collect evidence with which this threshold will be met in a court of law. This is the reason  an accused person is presumed innocent until proved guilty and for a conviction, the guilt must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, once the accused is not proved guilt as required, beyond reasonable doubt, regardless of whether or not the accused might have committed the crime, the accused walks. The accused is not deemed guilty until proved innocent nor is he or she required to prove his or her innocence before they can be set free. That will be an inquisition and America does not practice that; rather America prosecutes, based on evidence, aided by fair hearing, before an accused can be found guilty. 

So, ICHEOKU says which offense or "sin" was Robert S Mueller unable to exonerate the president from; or did Mueller already conclude that the president was guilty of something, before setting forth to find the evidence to support it; and failing which, he was still possessed of the mindset that the president was guilty of something, only that he could not find the evidence of it. Such arbitrariness is exactly what inquisitions are made of and such wandering off the justice system straight and narrow path by the Robert Mueller investigation team should give every good human being a cause to be wary. If it is President Donald John Trump today, for who will the bell toll tomorrow and may be a person or even another president who might not have the strength to fight back as President Trump successfully did.  

Such an abuse of prosecutorial powers should not be treated so cavalierly or dismissed as no big deal because it is. It should also not be addressed as a partisan issue because what goes around comes around and the table could turn tomorrow. It could be a Democratic president that will be sitting at the firing range of such a biased inquisition by a set of angry Republicans investigators. This is the reason, what happened with the Mueller's report, especially its veering off the prosecutorial track should be reined in immediately. By the prosecutor exonerating or not exonerating a person, it presupposes that the person was presumed guilty at the onset of the investigation from which he was finally exonerated, which unfortunately, is not the way our criminal justice system operates. The reaching of a verdict of guilty or not guilty and not "exoneration" is reserved for the courts, either the judge or the jury. It is the court and not the prosecutor that determines the accused's culpability, either guilty or not guilty; but cannot exonerate or not exonerate them because they are primarily innocent, until the verdict says otherwise. 

But regrettably, Robert S. Mueller and his team of Democrat investigators wanted to change the standard rule just because it is President Donald John Trump that is involved, without regards to the fundamental criminal prosecution standards governing America. They tried for nearly two years, spent more than $35 million of taxpayers money, had access to every documents and witnesses they demanded and asked for; no executive privilege was ever invoked to stop their prying eyes and members of the investigating team were largely Democrats, people who with beef to grind with President Donald John Trump. But at the end they could not find any evidence of Collusion with the Russians by the Trump's campaign or Organization. If there was something to find, they would have found it; but did not find because there was nothing there to find. So, without the foundational crime of Collusion, every other thing built on it automatically collapses, but they had to put the suspense of "couldn't exonerate" the president just to continue the narrative. 

They could not find that the president obstructed the investigation because Mueller was generously uninhibited in doing his assigned job; and the investigation of a crime which never generally existed cannot be obstructed. Collusion was the alleged crime and for obstruction to be present, there has to be a real crime under investigation, which was not the case here. Nobody can obstruct an investigation of a crime which did not exist. But rather than so stating and calling off the hound dogs, the Robert S. Mueller Report went rogue to add that they could not "exonerate" Trump from the "obstruction of justice" crime. ICHEOKU says if Mueller could not exonerate the president, why did he not incriminate him; since criminal prosecution is a black and white and/or situation, as opposed to the equivocated sitting on the fence conclusion by the Mueller team. Their mandate was to find evidence of the crime of obstruction and recommend prosecution accordingly, but not to act as a judge or jury or even an "exonerator." 

It was definitely a too far gone frolic by the Mueller squad and every right thinking American, regardless of party affiliation, should be afraid that some people are heralding such an overreach, as worthy of a second look. If they couldn't reach a decision on the crime, it means that they did not find evidence of the crime; therefore the criminal investigation was unsuccessful in finding evidence of the alleged crime and should have ended the process pronto. But the wandering off the reservation of what is allowable leeway of the the criminal justice system by offering opinion of equivocation is what is troubling to ICHEOKU and is condemnable; and is hereby condemned as an overreach. It is not good for our criminal justice system.
