TENSION IN THE PERSIAN GULF: WHO WANTS WAR WITH IRAN?

ICHEOKU says whether it is the Deep State or the Military Industrial Complex, both are the same when it comes to being agent provocateurs of wars and profiteering therefrom. Both are Siamese twins joined at the hip by an insatiable lust for money; the piston driving their insatiable appetite for needless, unnecessary and otherwise avoidable costly wars. 

it is all about profit motive. They just want to make money and war is a proven business of money making. They do not care about the havoc which these endless wars wreck on American families and treasury, the overall economy, as well as infrastructure; victims of underfunding, which could use the money being wasted on these ancillary wars. Meanwhile, other nations keep on wondering why America is such a war mongering nation, always looking for wars to fight and sometimes, even provoking one whenever possible and they can get away with it. 

It is on record that no other country in the world likes to fight or has fought as many wars as America has fought and continuing to fight till this day. Not Russia, not China, not North Korea, not any country in Europe; begging the question, WHY is America always fighting wars? These Washington DC swampers are war profiteers who are always looking for avenues to make money; hence they oftentimes cause wars and as soon as they can manufacture a reason for it. To them, only the end justifies the means, regardless of what the reason, where and when the war takes place and whose blood would be spilled, provided they make tons of money from it. 

It does not matter to them that war is such a tragic experience, because war to them is simply business and they are in the business of war making; and with war comes tons of money and a lot of profits. To these people, money is never enough and like the flower in the "Little House of Horror" which lust for blood is phenomenal, their lust for money must be constantly fed, otherwise they will not rest and the country will not know any peace time when its brave men and women are not fighting wars somewhere. They also sometimes engineer crisis just to cause war, so that they can make money. Speaking of the Blood Diamonds equivalence and in America, it is Blood Money from one conflict after another; which spells more money for the members of America's Washington DC well connected and powerful. 

ICHEOKU says but for an anti war President Donald John Trump in the White House, the American military would have since been embroiled in another conflict somewhere in the world, either in Syria or Venezuela or North Korea or Iran or even in the South China Sea. But these war mongers are not giving up just yet, as they are desperately trying to stoke another Middle East conflict against Iran that will eventually result into a shooting war. They released a grainy video of some Iranian Republican Guards in a boat detaching a landmine which they had allegedly planted on the side of an Oil tanker that was caught on fire in the Persian Gulf. It was their narrative that the unexploded magnet-mine was quickly retrieved by Iran to avoid it being traced to them. 

ICHEOKU says were this the case, why was the Republican Guard boat not intercepted right at the very minute of their said retrieval of the mine? Speaking of another "Wag the Dog" and a "convincing" evidence must be manufactured to directly pin Iran down to the sabotage and finally find the "smoking gun" evidence that will provide the excuse to engage Iran. Why would Iran with its back to the wall of excruciating economic meltdown provoke a fight with America, knowing fully well how lopsided the engagement will be, with the one and only remaining Super Power in the world. 

Why would Iran be that foolish to enter into such a gravely skewed handicap match with America by bombing oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz at such a time they are the focus of the entire world to see how they will react to the economic sanctions and whether they will lash out and take the bait of war strewn around their backyard. If Iran could not defeat Iraq in their eight years long war in the eighties, how do they plan to win a war between them and the United States of America. Except it is for a mass suicide, as the president earlier promised that any war with America will spell and existential threat to Iran, Iran will be so foolish to want to engage America in a shooting battle.

First, the pro war story was that Iran was planning to attack United States of American military bases in the Middle East; next was that Iran was planning to attack American interests in the Middle East, which led to the sending of Aircraft carriers and other battle groups to the Persian Gulf. Then within a space of few days, two Oil tankers were attacked while docked in Arab Gulf and another two other Oil tankers were actually set on fire as a result of some form of explosions in the Persian Gulf and automatically Iran was to blame. The latest in this litany of war provoking incidents is that a United States drone was shot down by Iranians; and you wonder if the same group, who are eager for a war with Iran, deliberately flew the drone into Iranian airspace just to provoke a war causing reaction. 

ICHEOKU says these coincidences, happening nearly choreographically and simultaneously, somewhat suggests that America is once again being led by the nose by a well orchestrated machine trying to start another war. It has such an eerie resemblance to the  prelude leading up to the Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction invasion, with Colin Powell, methodically demonstrating at the United Nations, what purportedly was American intelligence video of Saddam Hussein's mobile laboratories of weapons of mass destruction, which unfortunately turned out to be a manufactured hoax. Whether Americans and a very skeptical world would allow these war mongering profiteers to have their way again, is still debatable. The good news however is that an anti-war president, who ran on NO MORE WARS, is in the White House and will be very reluctant to pull the trigger.

So, the world is not a stranger to such periodically manufactured ruses, which the movie "Wag the Dog", gave a good insightful publicity on how it is done. So, could it be that the current video purportedly showing members of the Iranian Republican Guard detaching something from the beleaguered Oil tanker was from the studios of Hollywood annex of the Pentagon or the Central Intelligence Agency. It will not surprise ICHEOKU or any other critical observer if America is once again being played like a pawn in the hands of war mongers and war profiteers who are bent on forcing America into another war, by striking Iran and have Russian drawn into a conflict to defend their ally Iran, which end nobody really knows. What if China and North Korea joins the conflict, leading NATO to enter the war and Japan too, resulting in a Third World War. Such a delicate situation might snowball into a major conflagration  which could spell doom to the world and therefore should be managed with utmost care.

However, ICHEOKU will like to proffer a solution to all these incessant needless wars and forever end them; or better still, bring them within reasonableness and thus make America fight only justifiable wars, which, if not fought, will jeopardize America's overarching interests. ICHEOKU says let America REINSTATE THE DRAFT and watch all those war mongering Washington DC power brokers quit their business of fermenting troubles throughout the world. They will not like their own children to be killed and maimed in wars, period. But as long as it is other peoples' children that are in the military, fighting, losing their limbs, eyes and hearing, being mortally wounded, killed in action and dying from their injuries for America, that long will those war profiteers not care about starting wars and profiting from them. 

They are in Washington DC schmoozing with the Congress and the White House, some of them are in the Congress and some of them work for the White House. Their children are safely tucked away in elite schools or are gainfully employed in Wall Street and other top paying jobs, while other parents are being forced to bury their own children, casualties of wars, which were started by these people. Does ICHEOKU need to add that many of these wars are needless, unnecessary and otherwise avoidable. ICHEOKU says reinstate the DRAFT today and end all these American fought wars. Please say no to any more needless war in the Middle East, not with Iran and not with any other country; and not without a resoundingly convincing and justifiable reason. Enough of the lives and limbs losing and economy-bleeding atrocious wars. Dialogue is always a cheaper alternative. 

So, until there is an incontrovertible proof of Iran's belligerent actions, either to America's interest or that of America's allies in the region, Americans must SAY NO TO WAR WITH IRAN, no more wars. Lets stop the bleeding to lives and limbs, families, economy and infrastructures which these needless wars have become. Let's begin to invest all the money which are spent on these avoidable wars in America to improve America's infrastructure and Americans lives instead of allowing these war mongering profiteers to divert and siphon them through manufactured crisis and wars. Let's rebuild our country with the resources spent on these wars. Say no to wars. #NOMOREWARS. 

LET'S NOT RUSH TO WAR OVER A DRONE.

ICHEOKU says it is simply a diversionary tactics to change the narrative and force President Donald John Trump out of his primary focus to revamp the American economy and keep his attention on America First agenda. Enemies of MAGA are using whatever they can find to derail the president. Say no to war as countries are in the business of shooting down each other's drones.

A DRONE: NOT A REASON TO GO TO WAR.

ICHEOKU says the fact of the matter is that countries have been shooting down each other's drones for ages and as soon as they are sighted within their territorial airspace. So, short of the Global Hawk drone that was shot down by Iran being on international airspace when it was shot down, there is no reason to take the bait of Iran and flare up the current hostilities between Iran and America in the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Persian Gulf. American military severally shot down Iranian drones in Syria and Israel have been doing the same too; ditto Russia which have shot down America's U-2 spy planes before. 

The real question here is rather, why Iran is goading the United States of America into a military confrontation, a fight which outcome is readily known as the difference between day and night. Iran which could not defeat Saddam Hussein's Iraq in an eight years long running battle in the eighties, but suddenly now thinks that it can successfully take on the American awesome fearsome military. This is the crux of the matter, why the apparent Iranian threatening of an assured suicide by these incidences of provocation: first were the two oil tankers which they nearly destroyed, followed by another two oil tankers which their mines set on fire, to now this drone which they shot down from the sky. 

ICHEOKU says it is also baffling why those who were operating the drone did not see the Iranian missile approaching the drone and try to maneuver it out of harms way. Could it be that they are part of those who are itching to go to war with Iran and purposely steered the drone into harm's way, in order to achieve the present outcome, in their mad quest to midwife a shooting war with Iran? There are a lot of unanswered questions which if answered will help clear the fog of confusion over what indeed really happened. But if Iran has deliberately chosen to provoke America into a retaliatory response, may be they will soon have their wishes commanded and they should not blame anyone but themselves by the amount of destruction which will be parceled out to them.

ICHEOKU says hopefully the answers to these questions will eventually effervesces to the top, but nothing is beyond the conceit of those war mongering profiteers in Washington DC, as they could use any ruse and trickery to engineer an outcome that will enable them make money from wars. Therefore, the president was right with his measured calm words so far and should continue to show restraint. Like President Ronald Reagan once said, trust but first verify is the key; so the president must ensure that he is not being led into another Middle East region war by his National Security team as some of them are members of the establishment swamp and might not mean well for his presidency and its legacy. 

TRUMP2020: WE CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW.

ICHEOKU says the only surprise to be expected in 2020 is in the number of States which will vote to reelect President Donald John Trump, not whether or not he will be reelected. He still possesses the sales pitch and not 23 angry Democratic Party candidates can match him; so let the debates come and let the Democrats settle for one candidate and let the fireworks begin. 

The president won in 2016 with all the world amassed against him and now that he has the bully pulpit, plus the instruments of power, winning a reelection will not be as difficult. Moreso, he has acquitted himself creditably well, doing all he said and promised to do if elected; promises made, promises kept. American people can only do one thing now, REWARD HIM with a reelection. America can only go forward, no retreat, no surrender. KEEP AMERICA GREAT, REELECT TRUMP. #TRUMP2020.

MOHAMMED MORSI: DEAD AT 67. ADIEU.

ICHEOKU says the Muslim Brotherhood member and former President of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi is dead. He fainted inside a courtroom where he was standing trial for espionage and murder among other myriad of charges; and could not be revived and was later pronounced dead. The former Egyptian president was 67 years old. 

A hater of Israel and fundamentalist Islamist to the core, the engineer turned politician and later president of Egypt was unapologetic about his disdain for the Jewish State of Israel and at some point called it very unsavory names including blood suckers, warmongers and descendants of apes and pigs. He insisted that the Jews have no right on Palestine land and that what happened in 1947 and still continuing till today amounts to plundering and that the land belongs to the Palestines and not the Jews. The Sultanate President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in his eulogy referred to Morsi as his brother, praying that he is a martyr whose soul should rest in peace.

Mohammed Morsi was the first and only freely, democratically elected president of Egypt in more than 7,000 years of Egyptian governance by pharaohs and of course the military. But his extremism wouldn't let him govern a multi religious, pluralistic, Egyptian society, leading to more protests before the military pushed him aside and took back power. He was arrested and detained and subsequently charged for many crimes, the prosecution of which he was in the court, before he swooned and never recovered and died, despite best  effort at resuscitating him. His failed government was described by one commentator as the failure of democracy in a society that is not set up for democracy. 

ICHEOKU completely agrees that Africa is not set up for democracy and at best, is not yet ripe for democracy because of dearth of institutions which nurtures and sustains democracy; as well as the mindset of the people who are largely tribal, illiterate and overzealously religious. ICHEOKU says may Mohammed Morsi now rest and possibly get hold of his seventy virgins as soon as he makes it to their paradise. 

Air Force ONE: KEEP AS IS.

ICHEOKU says certain things are better left as they are; let Air Force One be. #SAYNOTOREDESIGN. 

AIR FORCE ONE: SAY NO TO THE REDESIGN.

ICHEOKU says if it ain't broke, why change it? #SAYTOTHEREDIGNEDAIRFORCEONE.

AIR FORCE ONE: TOO ICONIC TO BE DISTORTED.

ICHEOKU says disagrees with the president on his redesigned  Air Force One, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Why change such an iconic colors that has become a globally recognized symbol of America's presidency on wings, which represents America's enduring strength, assuredness, assertiveness and preeminent position and which also projects America's authority and wealth. Simply put, Air Force One is a statement unto itself and getting used to the new design will take some time, so why border.

ICHEOKU says there are three things that make America, America; things which symbolizes America and which should not be readily and so easily changed based on anyone's personal taste or like. To make such a foundational change, the act of the Congress should be mandatorily required, because they are so intrinsically woven into the body fabric of being American. They are what signifies America and should require the peoples representatives approval before changes can be made on them. These are Air Force One, the flag and the White House; three things which the entire world identifies America with and which represents America to the entire world. 

As a result, the president's intention to change the colors of the Air Force One is not cool with ICHEOKU and to millions of other American people; because if he does, what stops another president from also changing the colors, either because they do not like it or because it was done by President Donald John Trump and they want to erase his legacy. Moreso, the baby blue colors are known around the world and such trademark colors for a presidential plane are not easily bargain-able, otherwise which country's presidential plane is that easily know and noticeable. 

ICHEOKU says strongly believes that some things in life should be left alone as they are and not be amenable to erratic contusions and reconfigurations, especially not because one man feels like it. Institutions are institutions for a reason and the American presidency is one such institution which should never be personalized. Therefore, certain things touching and concerning it should not be left at any one single person's discretion or be allowed to float around according to his or her personal idiosyncratic mood swings. If this is not checked, Americans might wake up one day to see their White House painted in gold and their flag migrate from red and blue to gold. 

ICHEOKU says America must not be in competition with other vane glorious countries of the world, whose leaders are trying to project bogus wealth and strength with such flattering colors. The American presidency is a serious business and needs some level of staid and stoicism to it. The new colors which the president came out with, reminds ICHEOKU of when the president wanted to stage a military parade in Washington and you ask yourself what is the purpose of such flaunting of the military might of the United States of America as is done by some other little and most times, despotic countries, who are trying to impress and prove something which is not there.

The colors which the president came out with for his newly redesigned Air Force One is so ordinary that it looks like a commercial airplane colors. It is no longer outstandingly imposing and majestic; and does not stand out nor otherwise make a statement of here is America's president on wings. Even the presidential seal is not as visible as it otherwise should be. A matter of factly speaking, it looks like the president's private plane TRUMP reversed upside down, as the colors instead of being on top was placed below. It is somewhat cheesy for a presidential plane to say the least. 

ICHEOKU says the president can make the new Air Force One bigger, badder, larger, huger, bolder, longer, higher and whatever else he wants; but please let him not tamper with the colors and if it must, let it be a color that is solid and not the all over the place design which he showed on his ABC interview with George Stephanopolus. One solid color from nose to tail would have been preferred, either white or red or even blue, with a huge American flag, a balding eagle and an imposing Presidential Seal emblazoned in gold background. The president can also be at liberty to configure the interiors however he sees fit, but he must not cause or do any harm to the exterior colors. 

What if the next president does not like the president's new design, will he or she be at liberty to ask for another paint job? If the president is allowed to change the colors of Air Force One to whatever he likes, would he be allowed to someday wake up and decides that he no longer likes the blue and red colors of the flag and wants it changed to gold or order that the White House be repainted in gold and rebranded the Golden House? 

ICHEOKU maintains that changes to such iconic symbols of America should not be easily malleable or left to the whims and caprices of just one man; but should be made with a Congressional approval, first sought and obtained. But since life is dynamic and a certain former president changed what used to be the former colors of Air Force One to the present colors, it is therefore inarguable that another desiring president reserves the right to also once again change the colors. It is the same way the world no longer uses typewriters but computers, so the colors of Air Force One can also transition to something different as  the president prefers. As a result, let those who like the soon to be former colors treasure the memories and philosophically wax nostalgically about the baby blue colors that used to be; and let the president have his Air Force One in his Trump One colors. 

ICHEOKU says it is merely a cosmetic changes, as the Air Force One will not in any way be compromised in its fundamental mission of safely flying the president of the United States of America around, to and from his desired destinations. The ability and utility of the plane will still remain intact, regardless of what colors the eyes sees as its outer veneer. ICHEOKU would have liked to see the Presidential Seal logo moved up higher and near the pilots window, made larger, bigger and bolder to be commandingly visible. Also they could have incorporated the bald eagle alongside the flag and the presidential seal, if indeed Americanness was the primary motivating reason for the intended redesign. But the primary thing is that the president has the right to redesign the plane and he exercised that right, case closed.

AIR FORCE ONE: TOO ICONIC TO BE DISTORTED.

ICHEOKU wishes the color scheme can be left alone because of its preeminence recognition as America's presidency on wings. Just do the interiors but leave the exterior color scheme alone and undistorted.

NBA FINALS CHAMPIONSHIP: IT'S RAPTORS, AS THE NORTH WINS THE WEST

ICHEOKU says they rightly earned it and deservedly so; as they played very well, outplaying an injury plagued and depleted Golden State Warriors.  Their call letters "WE THE NORTH", Toronto Raptors has finally broken the jinx of Canada as they won for the first time a major sports trophy in a completion between a Canadian side and the United States of America side, defeating the Golden State Warriors 114 - 110. 

It was a thriller of some sort finals despite a Warriors' side that was heavily handicapped  as a result of injuries, with ace players Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson sidelined and couldn't play in the finals. It was overall a good NBA finals. Congratulations to the new NBA champions Toronto Raptors and to the MVP Kawhi Leonard; they both deserved their victories. To the defeated defending champions, Golden State Warriors, it was a battle well fought battle; and short of not moving to their new arena as champions, they acquitted themselves very well and will live to be champions again. Congratulations to them as well. 

AMERICA IS HERE TO STAY - PDJT

"Americans fill the world with art and music. They push the bounds of science and discovery. And they forever remind us of what we should never ever forget: The people dreamed this country. The people built this country. And it's the people who are making America great again. As long as we are proud of who we are, and what we are fighting for, there is nothing we cannot achieve. As long as we have confidence in our values, faith in our citizens, and trust in our God, we will not fail. Our families will thrive. Our people will prosper. And our Nation will forever be safe and strong and proud and mighty and free." - President Donald John Trump.

BUHARI SWORN IN: A PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION WITH A TWIST.

ICHEOKU says it could easily pass for the proverbial King who crowned himself, as every living former heads of State and presidents, except for the infamous genocidal murderer, Yakubu Jackal Gowon, shunned the event. Their action, telegraphed an unspoken but strongly loud message that it will not be in their name nor with their support, would a "stolen" mandate confer legitimacy on the president. 

It could have been much gracefully better and ICHEOKU strongly feels that the president also shared in the sentiments, had these former leaders showed up to support the president. That Gowon was there could be a result of lost in translation or that the memo which communicated the decision of the former leaders to stay away from the inauguration did not get to him on time. It is also possible that Gowon showed up in order to remain above the fray, curry favor and retain his place in the good books of the president and by extension, the Caliphate. 

Overall, the event of May 29th, 2019 was comparatively mediocre at best and lacked the pomp and pageantry, as well as the grandeur and glamour, usually associated with such presidential inauguration ceremony; especially for a president on his way out, who was being sworn in for his last and final term in office. The uneasiness was palpably noticeable; and the humiliation suffered by being abandoned by all the former heads of State and presidents was also noticeable. No president, given a choice, would like to be so shabbily treated as irrelevant, abandoned on his great day as a pariah by his predecessors in office. 

The ramification of such a national embarrassment will be consequential, as the president will see it an unforgivable sin and an affront on his presidency. In other words, those former leaders who did not honor the president's invitation to his inaugural ceremony might as well kiss goodbye to whatever camaraderie that hitherto existed between them and the president. But the good news is that, like they say in Hollywood and Nollywood, the show must go on and the show went on. The president was successfully sworn in for his second and final term in office, and it was without a hitch, leaving many wondering what these former leaders actually achieved with their boycott, other than making a statement of their displeasure at the president.

However, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Ernest Shonekan's absence could be excused as they are both medically indisposed and otherwise couldn't be available, even if they had wanted. But Abdulsalam Abubakar, Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan had no excuses whatsoever to justify their boycott of the president's special day. Theirs was a conspired absence, orchestrated to humiliate the president, but whether they succeeded, the jury is still out on that question. They were not sick and it could not have been because of any prior engagements, because the date for the presidential inauguration was literary set in stone, scheduled  several years in advance and nothing else should have trumped it, regardless. 

What the five former leaders, particularly the last three, did, was in fact, calculatedly deliberate. They intentionally wanted to humiliate and embarrass the president; so, they should be made to pay a hefty price for it. May be the president should consider taking away their pensions and other accruing privileges, including the withdrawal of their security details or even denying them access to Aso Rock, by placing them on a permanent do not visit Aso Rock list of abhorable deplorables.

Their action was probably another evidence of corruption fighting back, as some of them were involved in large scale corruption during their time in office, for which they are currently being investigated. Abdulsalam Abubakar and Olusegun Obasanjo were involved in the $16 billion white elephant power project; while Jonathan was involved in the $2 billion Malabu Oil deal scandal, for which he allegedly pocketed $450 million as his own share of the booty. So, it is understandable if the decision by President Muhammadu Buhari to curtail corruption in the country, by investigating these former leaders, led to their protest boycott of the inauguration; their way of vehemently registering their displeasure at being investigated by the president.

It is obvious that corruption is mounting a counter offensive against the president, using everything, including shunning a presidential inauguration, to make a statement that they will be unrelenting in their effort to stop the president from succeeding in his war against corruption. ICHEOKU is emphatic that corruption in Nigeria will not abate until some of these corrupt former leaders are made examples of, held accountable for their own corruption. They need to start facing consequences for their corruption, including being publicly named and shamed, paraded where necessary, arrested and prosecuted for being the criminals which they are. Once this is done, every other person below them will understand that it is no more an open season for corruption in Nigeria, because a masquerade which beat an elderly person will make a mince meat of a youth. 

ICHEOKU says that no former Nigerian leader has ever won the Mo Ibrahim Foundation Award for Excellence in Leadership in Africa is a great testament to the depth of their corruption. Their penchant for kleptomania is legendary and they stole with reckless abandonment; including the coward of Otuoke who made himself superbly rich from the office and also made out like bandit from the Malabu Oil scandal. ICHEOKU gleefully awaits the the day the president's joker on these former corrupt leaders will drop like it is hot, including putting them in handcuffs. Hopefully the president will follow through with his many promises to fight corruption to a stand still and not sparing any of these bandits in the process.

Anyway, while Atiku Abubakar is still dreaming about a phantom mandate, which was purportedly stolen; the man who actually holds the mandate has been sworn in for his second final term in office. So, while Atiku and his co-travelers to a laland presidency are still salivating about what would have been, lost in the jungle of distorted facts, President Muhammadu Buhari has officially begun his second term in office and there is nothing anyone, including 1000 Obasanjos, can do about that. ICHEOKU says congratulating President Muhammadu Buhari on his second term inauguration and also the people of Nigeria, who chose wisely on February 23rd, 2019, to reject the globally acknowledged face of corruption in Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, by sticking with the proverbial devil they know, having already adjusted to the hardship in the land, is therefore quite in order.

ICHEOKU says could care less that the president won his reelection and was inaugurated for a second term in office, despite the hardship, anger and disillusionment in the land. What is imperative here is that the president, by his election victory, stopped the gathered vultures, led by Nigeria's most crooked and corrupt person and the world recognized face of corruption in Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, who were waiting to carry on with their feasting on the carrion of Nigeria. This was the single most important factor for ICHEOKU during the period leading up to the last presidential election 2019, for which all stops were pulled to help stop Atiku Abubakar and his army of ravenous scavengers from ever again descending on Nigeria's resources and feasting on them like swarming locusts. 

The aversion and revulsion to a possible Atiku Abubakar's presidency led to the avowal to stop him by all means necessary and however possible. Such was the intensity and determination, that anyone else, including Sahara Reporters' Sowore Omole, would have been a far much better and preferred choice than Atiku Abubakar. So, ICHEOKU was indeed grateful that the president accomplished this base mission and that Atiku was stopped cold from nearing the gate of Aso Rock. With this done, at least Nigeria will have something left in its tiller for the running of the country; unlike with Atiku, where every last penny would have been looted by a band of thieves, masquerading as dopey and droopy-eye politicians, whose only motivation in politics is to steal the country blind and make themselves stupendously rich and at the expense of the masses. So ICHEOKU is grateful and thankful to God for securing victory for President Muhammdu Buhari and for stopping a threatened looting on steroid that was lurking around and waiting to begin.

ICHEOKU says does not believe in medicine after death and since God does not give second chances or an opportunity for a do over, why would anybody? Nigerians must therefore learn to adapt to their self immolating circumstances, quit whining and stop the gnashing of teeth, because of their inability to vote President Muhammadu Buhari out of office on February 23rd, 2019.  They voted him into office on March 29th, 2015 and that is the only controlling authority that counts. By voting for Buhari on March 29th, 2015, Nigerians forever lost their right to complain about any hardship as a result of the Buhari's presidency, because they knew what they were getting into when they voted for Buhari in 2015. Buhari is as constant as Mother Nature that even the Northern Star does not meet his resoluteness; he changeth not; he was the same yesterday, today and will remain the same tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. So why does Nigerians expect water out of rock, especially when they are not armed with Moses staff.

This Buhari's truism was germane in 2015 and so it was four years later in office and so will it remain in the next four years. Buhari does not change; Buhari did not change and Buhari will not ever change. So, why the hyperventilating hysteria in the land over a fully resolved man who never hid his character or who he is to Nigerians. Or were Nigerians afflicted by the repeatedly doing the same thing while expecting a different result, which is insanity defined? Therefore it is hopelessly delusional for any Nigerian to pretend that the Dracula of Daura suddenly morphed into a monster or that he is surprisingly visiting the land with great chastisement, because he is not. He did not change in 1983 through 1985 and was the same fixated individual in 2015 and continuing till this day. So, anyone expecting a different Buhari or that there will be a different outcome from the same circumstances, needs to have their heads examined for schizophrenia.

The good mantra for honest living is to always have in mind that if you do the crime, you will also do the time. Nigerians willingly invited the minstrel into their homes and must not be heard now to complain that the music is deafening. So, to all those vuvuzelas who are chest-beating that Buhari has killed them, ICHEOKU says to suck it up and pray, on the authority of 2 King 12:21, that the NextLevel will not be a more excruciating experience. Utobo, the rhesus monkey, said that the death which is starring it on the face can never kill it; but Nigerians ignored this time honored advise and invited Buhari to their governance in 2015 and should only pray he does not convert himself to a life president when his term expires in 2023. 

ICHEOKU says if Buhari decides to tighten the screws more in his second term, so be it; as it is a well deserved and rightly earned rebuke of a society which always condemns its best and celebrates its worst. If Buhari becomes the whip that would whip Nigerians into sensibleness and reasonableness, so be it; but it is definitely about time Nigerians started reasoning rationally and not remain the wildebeests which they are, who stubbornly, spontaneously charges without first thinking the ramifications of their actions through and thoroughly. What made any sane Nigerian to prefer Buhari over Jonathan in 2015 was actually what made all the difference and in fact, when the cookie crumbled; and not at any other subsequent time, including last February 23rd, 2019 when they wanted to retrieve the cup after giving an enwe water with it. 

Anyway, the deed is done and Nigerians should brace themselves for whatever happens in the next four years, including massive arrest and detention of Nigerians and their former leaders. ICHEOKU can't wait.

ICHEOKU also congratulates Nigeria on becoming a nuclear power, as the president was seen carrying his presidential "akpa nwa dibia" handbag, where the nuclear code of the country is securely tucked away. What Americans call the Football, Nigerians call the Sharia bag; but let nobody make mistake about it because it is also as deadly. Inside that handbag is a direct live communication to the Fulfude only Fulani Radio and nobody should doubt the power of issuing directives on that frequency. Its destructive yield must not be in doubt and ICHEOKU prays the president never activates that code. 

As for the Adams Oshiomhole rude awakening, if only he had read Luke 14:12, he would have been properly guided on the wisdom of not self-inviting oneself to a party; because such gate crashing always leads to unpleasant experience and other unintended consequences, including being publicly humiliated. 

The inauguration also made history as the only presidential inauguration without an inaugural address, as the president failed to inform or share with his country men and women what to expect from his administration during his second term. May be because it will be more of the same, except on a higher level or is it Next Higher Level, one may add. ICHEOKU also was not impressed by the newly acquired presidential limousine because it is not beastly enough. The best of it all is Nigeria has a president and his name is not Atiku Abubakar. So until 2023, every other agitation and vituperative invectives are but inconsequential noisy hot air. ICHEOKU says congratulations President Muhammadu Buhari for stopping Atiku Abubakar from nearing the gate of Aso Rock; and as for Olusegun Obasanjo, the president can arrest and LOCK HIM UP now for being a security risk to the country and the heavens will not fall if he does. 

QUEEN ELIZABETH MARKS HER 93RD BIRTHDAY!

ICHEOKU says congratulations Queen Eliza on your 93rd birthday celebration. May your days be longer, healthier and keeping on holding the forte for Britain. Whoever dresses the Queen is good at what she or he is doing as the Queen never failed with her fashion sense. Congratulations to Her Majesty of Britain. 

JOE BIDEN ABANDONS GOD: SIDES WITH ABORTIONISTS.

ICHEOKU says how you know a swamp dweller numero uno, a stand which he took several decades ago in 1976 and maintained out of conviction until just two days ago, June 5th, 2019, to help keep American babies out of harms way of assured death through abortions, but suddenly he somersaulted and is now in favor of killing babies on demand. 

Joe Biden, what manner of man is he? Just another flip flopping John Kerry who once voted for something before voting against it. What would men not do for power, including selling their conscience and in this case, even denouncing their faith. 

A staunch Catholic who has now summarily abandoned his long held Catholic faith and beliefs of so many decades, just because he wants to please the far left wing anarchists of his Democratic Party who are desirous of unrestrained killing of babies. But like Jesus said, if Joe Biden denies him before the world, he will also deny Joe Biden before his father in heaven. A matter that will be made worse when he finally loses both the primaries and the presidency and shamelessly seeks to return back to the Catholic Church with a pretended conviction and faith.

A 75 year old grandfather, who should ordinarily be enjoying his retirement and preparing to go meet his maker, but instead of standing firm to his “conviction” to the end, has buckled under the weight of the abortionists wing of the Democratic Party. ICHEOKU says where is Joe Biden's fortitude that he should literary just collapse and cave in, faced with these crazed out, wild eyed feminists hollering abortionists. If they could weigh Joey down and have their way with him, imagine what Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un would do to him. SAD. Please just #SAYNOTOJOEBIDEN. 

D-DAY 75TH ANNIVERSARY: WE OWE THEM OUR GRATITUDE.

ICHEOKU says for their sacrifice we have what we have today - FREEDOM and we are forever indebted. Thank yo veterans of World War II and other wars that kept us safe and protected. 

D-DAY 75TH ANNIVERSARY: WE WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR SACRIFICE.

ICHEOKU says as leaders of the free world gathered to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day Normandy landing, an appreciative world says thank you World War II veterans for your great sacrifice. 

BERNIE READS THE RIOT ACT TO THE DEMOCRATS.

“As you all know, there is a debate among presidential candidates who have spoken to you here in this room and those who have chosen for whatever reason not to be in this room about the best way forward. So let me be as clear as I can be: in my view, we will not beat Donald Trump unless we bring excitement and energy into the campaign. And unless we give millions of working people and young people a reason to vote and a reason to believe that politics is relevant to their lives, they will not vote; especially not for the Democratic Party." - Bernie Sanders, at California Democratic Party Convention, San Francisco, June 2nd, 2019.
