#METOO: A WEAPON OF FEMINISM.

ICHEOKU says it is obvious that the #MeToo movement has been weaponized against men, so it is about time men started fighting back by resisting and refusing the call to resign their offices based on unproven and unsubstantiated clam of sexual assault of several past decades. Harvey Weinstein warned men about the unfolding #MeToo crisis which is threatening to swallow up men link a sinkhole. But unfortunately most men did not listen as they thought it was just a Harvey Weinstein's problem and that it will never get to them. But how wrong they were afterall.

Since Harvey was sent to 23 years imprisonment, so many men have fallen victim to this feminist anarchists's accusations. While New York Governor Andrew Cuomo stood firm and seems to be succeeding so far in rebuffing their attack, another man, City of Windsor in Northern California Mayor, Dominic Foppoli, has come under their crosshairs.  But it seems that he has taken a page out of Governor Cuomo's page in refusing to resign as well. ICHEOKU says kudos to the Mayor.

ICHEOKU says is for the prosecution of any man who sexually assaults any woman, but will not stand the apparent weaponization of the #MeToo accusations, especially for sexual encounters of so many decades old. In the California's Mayor's case, one of the allegation was for a drunk encounter of over 15 years old and the woman is just coming out now when the guy has an election to win and you wonder what took her so long if in fact she truly felt violated. Although women should be believed, but Tara Reade is a woman and her alleged encounter with Joe Biden was ignored. 

It is about time a legislation is passed specifically limiting the time within which such matters should be reported or forever forgone. 5 years following its occurrence should be a good period after which it will be statutorily barred from either investigation or prosecution or the now fashionable demand that somebody resign an office as a result. Enough of using the #MeToo movement as a hammer against targeted men. Men should stand up to fight or risk continuously being held hostage and afraid that even a previous consensual sexual encounter might be dredged up and used against them. 

QUEEN AND PRINCE PHILLIP'S LOVE WAS EXEMPLARY: SHE WILL MISS HIM MUCH.

"You will wear the crown of the people and I will wear the pants/trousers of the family. That way we will have a cordial, mutually respectful, long lasting relationship. You will be the Queen of England and I will be your husband and the man of the household." ICHEOKU says accordingly to the story, this is what Prince Phillip said to his  wife Queen Eliza when she was coronated Queen of England and it seems to have worked out so wonderfully well for the extraordinary coupe who spent 73 years of marital life together. 

Exactly the secret recipe for any successful marriage, definitive expectations; and each spouse respectfully maintaining their respective lanes of power and authority. Such leaves no room for confusion or the constant bumping into each other's sphere of responsibility due to muddled up terms without clarity. The Queen and Prince Philip's marital longevity is a testament that such clearly stipulated expectations really works. Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburg, was originally from Greece, a nation which understands how best a marriage works and he proved that he mastered the art of matrimony with the Queen of England. His wife, the  Queen, on her part is a good woman who respected her husband as the head of the household, despite being the head of all England and the Commonwealth. ICHEOKU says their union and longevity should be a recommended text of study for people wishing to enter into a marital relationship.  

ICHEOKU says you can easily decipher partners' love for each other by the way they look at themselves. There is this intense look of admiration, like you are looking at some precious beautiful work of art of inestimable value and cannot seem to ever have enough of it. A feeling of, is this real or am I in a dreamland wondering if I am this lucky to have the privilege of being with the person. You easily breaks out a smile for no apparent reason in particular, any time you are with the person or looking at the person or even thinks about the person. You are never tired of sharing your space with the person and every moment together is treasured and you wish it will last forever. It creates a lot of bubbles of joy in the heart and you desire the person's presence around you unceasingly. This was what the Prince and his Queen had for each other, which presupposes that a hole which cannot be filled has been left in the Queen's heart now that her soulmate has gone to rest.

It is a true definition of love which seldom obtains these days. She was richer than him when they met and remained so throughout their 73 years together, but that did not diminish him in her sight and estimation. She respected him as her husband. So, his money or lack of it did not buy her love which gives credence to the saying that money cannot buy love. They had a wonderful companionship too and of course their fair share of fights behind closed doors as couples do, but what held them together was greater and that was what exactly counted. But that is not to say that money cannot buy you a person or the company of a person, but it cannot ever buy you true love and real companionship, the type that pulls on the heart strings. Simply put, love is indescribable and you only feels it to know it. Queen Eliza loved her man and he loved her back; and they stood by each other right to the end. It was a thing of beauty to behold.  

ICHEOKU says is very impressed by their example and hopes the world of marital couples will be similarly impressed by the power of their example too. The only downside of such heartily bonding is that at such a time like present, when one of the spouse departs, it is hellish for the surviving spouse who will become literally lost without her companion and confidant of so many years. It leads to inconsolable grieving and a feeling of a cascading darkness rushing in to envelope your now empty world. So, it is understandable how empty the Queen must be feeling right now without her Prince Phillip; but nature called and nobody lives forever. They had a wonderful long life together and he will live in her memory as long as she too shall live. May the soul of Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh and the late husband of Queen Eliza of England now rest and may God provide her Majesty the fortitude to cope with his departure. What a couple. 

BUILT FOR BATTLE AND NOT GOING ANYWHERE - MATT GAETZ.

ICHEOKU says totally backs and supports Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz in his resolve not to surrender to the cancel culture seeking to cancel his legislative presence in Washington DC. They feel threatened by his ever growing effectiveness and towering stature in MAGA nation and they are desperate to cut him down to size, effective immediately and/or even kill him off politically, for good. So, it is good that the political firebrand is fighting back, will not resign and will not cower down and beg for mercy before his traducers.

ICHEOKU says the whole shenanigan might be a political hit job orchestrated by his detractors, including some from Wyoming who are out to get him because he is taking on Liz Cheney, the political scion of one of their political icon, Dick Cheney. It is politics and everything is fair game in politics and his current tribulation might as well be politically related too. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo did not go anywhere, California Congressman Eric Swalwell did not go anywhere and South Carolina Governor Northam did not go anywhere either, so why should Matt Gaetz go anywhere? If none of these Democrats went anywhere following the allegations against them, it is unfair therefore for Matt Gaetz to go anywhere since what he is facing is still mere allegation, which has not been proved yet. Therefore, it will be presumptuous to demand that he resign his membership of the United States Congress now as that will be abdicating his responsibilities owed to the Florida people who elected him to Congress. 

Everyone must take a chill pill and allow the authorities to complete their investigation into what he allegedly did. If and when he is found guilty of the alleged, then it will be time to call for his resignation, indictment and prosecution. But until then, all the hollering of resignation is mere hot air which the Congressman should continue to ignore and not treat them as relevant enough to force his resignation. It is in the same vein that ICHEOKU has been defending the right of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo not to yield to the #MeToo nut jobs and to stay in office as he committed no crime to warrant his resignation. Allegations are what they are, allegations; but they are not evidence of a crime. So, until they are proved, people accused of anything are victims who equally deserve the protection of the law and the shielding of the public. Matt Gaetz and Governor Andrew Cuomo therefore remain innocent until then and for that long will ICHEOKU remain their defender in chief and unapologetically too.

It is obvious that some people want both men out of the way: Governor Cuomo in order to clear the way for the 2024 Democratic Party's presidential primaries which his participation will make it much harder for their preferred candidate to secure the ticket. Matt Gaetz on the other hand, possibly because of his rising profile in the Republican Party and his ardent support of President Donald John Trump. They want to punish him for his loyalty to the president and to preemptively end his very promising future prospect in the Republican Party. It is also possible that there is the Cheney factor out of Wyoming in play here as well, with some very powerful people taking a revenge on him, on behalf of the powerful Dick Cheney political family, for daring to take a stab at their Liz Cheney by asking her to step aside. 

These people could have said to themselves, who the heck is this newbie politician from Florida, who is rising so fast in the Republican Party and now feels that he is such a big shot to take on the Dick Cheney family and decided to take him out first. Anything could be why the hound dogs were released on him to force him to retreat and back off or better still, crush him. Conversely, he may be guilty as well; but until the investigation is completed, ICHEOKU will remain on the side of caution as both men enjoy the benefit of doubt as every American is entitled under the constitution, innocent until proven guilty. Therefore, Governor Cuomo and Congressman Matt Gaetz are innocent and should be left alone to continue discharging the duties for which they were elected by their people. They should not resign but fight on and ICHEOKU unreservedly supports them. It is a good politics to never surrender the people's mandate to cancel culture.

ADIEU DMX.

ICHEOKU says another black celebrity lost to drug overdose. It is sad. 

REST ON DMX: GONE TOO SOON.

ICHEOKU says may he now rest. Adieu DMX.

DMX'S SUICIDE BY DRUG OVERDOSE: NOT COOL, GETS NO SYMPATHY FROM ICHEOKU.

ICHEOKU says after what happened to Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Prince as well as so many other black celebrities in America, that another black celebrity, a hiphop guru, should just end his life in this manner, by reason of another drug overdose, is simply not acceptable. Earl Simmons aka DMX took his own life and as with suicides, does not deserve much sympathy; such is simply a too little too late post incident pretensions. A serious intervention to wean him off his addiction would have been a far better approach than the present wailing because he killed himself and at just 50 years of age. He is now gone and no longer with us; that is sad and it is particularly more painful because it was a death that was otherwise avoidable. 

The worst part of his death, as well as all those who have died in similar circumstance before him is that they were victims of their supposedly inner circle who helped them engage in their drug habit. These celebrities usually surround themselves with only the people who hopelessly cheer them on, who allow and encourage them to indulge in whatever they like including drugs. These hangers-on are fully aware of the eventual deathly destination of these druggie celebrities but being too compromised because of the lucre of their close association, they just egg them on. They see them as cash cows to be milked, without really loving them or caring about what becomes of them as a result of their drug habit. For them it is business and as long as they make money out of them, they could jump off the cliff for all they care.

We have lost enough of them already and all effort going forward should be to prevent further loss of these people. Such action demands tough love and everything possibly within human powers should always be deployed first, proactively, before the camping outside their hospital room windows and praying for the miracle of their recovery from drug overdose ever begins. Such is a solution based grieve and not the after the fact cry me a river superfluousness, as many are not indeed sincerely sad that he died but they have to join the bandwagon of the Jones of the grieving just to participate and be seen as mourning the loss of DMX. 

If DMX had been shot like Tupac and Biggie Small, the world of his fans, including ICHEOKU, would have mourned uncontrollably. If DMX had died in a plane crash or a helicopter crash like Kobe Bryant, he would have received a Kobe like general outpouring of grief. Even if he had died in a car crash or in his sleep, it would have been far much better and easier to absorb. But to die from a voluntarily ingested drug overdose is neither understandable nor acceptable and should be condemned. It is sad.  Now that his enablers have killed him, unto their next victim they will migrate with their fake praise singing and hollering and the cycle goes on. 

Prince Phillip of England, the Duke of Edinburgh and husband of the Queen Eliza of England  just died at 99 years and 10 months old. That is almost 50 years of life more than DMX who died at 50; and you ask yourself what is wrong if DMX had lived for that long and was in a position to have seen his children's children and their children. What is wrong in being a great great grandfather. But no, they got him hooked up on drugs and he got addicted to it; and instead of fiercely intervening by whatever means possible, including shipping him off to some distance desolate land for rehabilitation, where he cannot have any access to his demon choice of drug, they treated them as a big boy who knew what he wanted and what he was doing and a fully grown up man who can make his own decision. 

But these enablers forgot that even an old man can be mentally sick and in some case, too sick to even have the full command of their faculty. Britany Spear is one person ICHEOKU always gives an example of, who beat her own monkey and is still alive, well and enjoying the world. Luckily for her, people who truly love her were present to intervene at whatever cost and they are the only reason Brittany Spear is still alive today and not gone with the wind of drugs since. Whitney Houston told the world on Oprah Winfrey's show that crack is whack, DMX did not listen nor did he hearken to her admonition and crack whacked him. Such a willful suicide, whether accidental or not, does not deserve any sympathy, at least not ICHEOKU's. It is like playing with fire, aware that fire may burn you and then your body catches fire and you are burnt. 

When you willingly start putting stuff right into your nostrils or injecting them intravenously or popping them as pills, fully aware of the associated risks including heart-attack triggering sudden death, who do you blame when you eventually succumbs to its induced death. Sympathy is good when there is no fault or responsibility on the part of the departed, but in this case it is not deserving because it was a self inflicted harm. For a man who populated this world with fifteen human beings, more was expected of him including not to go out of this world in such a  disgraceful manner. He contributed so much to hiphop culture and there were many people he made happy with his music and in other ways but he diminished himself and tarnished his image by overdosing on drugs. 

To some people, his drug addiction was a sickness and to them ICHEOKU says many sickness are curable including drug addiction. It was a habit which he willingly picked up and it is a habit which he could equally have willingly dropped in the same manner he willingly picked it. It was either he refused to part with it or it refused to part with him; but in any case, it was still a doable choice but he succumbed to it rather than kicking it off. His demon won over his spirit. Anyway, may his troubled soul now rest; and to those who loved him as well as the many children he left behind, may God comfort them in this period of their great loss.  Nobody is proud that DMX died from drug overdose, especially his younger children who may be taunted in school as children of a drug addict who died from drug overdose. It is a shame.

THE DUKE IS GONE: REST ON PRINCE PHILLIP.

ICHEOKU says The Duke is finally dead as he was struggling to stay alive for a long time and would have since been gone if not for the miracle of British medical sciences which kept him alive for this long. Even when he was discharged from the hospital recently, ICHEOKU had referred to him as a ghostly apparition who would have been better off if allowed to crossover, instead of expending everything just to sustain his life. Eventually, nature took its course and he can now go and rest. 

He had a wonderful life and passing away at 99 years old, lived a very long live too. He died of natural causes infirmities of old age. He luckily married really up and to a woman who loved him dearly and she is the Queen of England.  Having spent such a long number of years together, she will feel so empty without him. Love is a great thing indeed as the Duke will now go on to live in Her Majesty's heart until such time when she will go to be with him in the world beyond.

But who knows whether his renegade, prodigal grandson Prince Harry will have the temerity to shamelessly attend his funeral after the smear which he caused the royal family. He also did not visit with him when he was in the hospital nor was his present to say his final goodbye to his grandpa before he departed. Anyway, may the soul of Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, now rest. Our condolence to the Queen and her royal household on the departure of their patriarch. Adieu Duke.

IF ONLY CONSERVATIVES UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF BOYCOTT.

ICHEOKU says does conservatives republicans not know that there is power in boycott or uneducated on how to wield it or even how to mount an effective threat of it. Something which has been perfected into an art by their liberal democrats counterpart. it will definitely give them much more bargaining power and a formidable voice in corporate America and they should seriously consider harnessing it. 

But unfortunately, it seems that only liberal democrats understand the awesome power of products boycott as an effective bargaining tool and they use it to their maximum advantage. The reason corporate America are always at their beck and call and usually bend over backwards to accommodate whatever demand they make in America and/or of and from them; and frequently ignores conservative republicans concerns in matters of national issues. 

Whether the numerically strength go the liberal democrats is more than their conservative republicans, to have given them the edge is somewhat debatable as there is no serious data in support. But if it is not or better still, that the two polar opposites of our political spectrum are equally matched in numbers or that the gap between them is not so wide, why then do companies and corporations defer to them more than they defer to conservative republicans. Why are these companies and corporations so beholden to them and always afraid of losing their patronage such that they react and respond quickly to meet whatever their demand each time they threaten to boycott their products. But these companies and corporations are not similarly afraid of losing conservative republicans' patronage, hence do not react or respond to their own concerns. 

Is it because they know that conservative republicans are too busy with their lives to think about boycotting any company's products? Could it be that these companies know that conservative republicans are incapable of mobilizing and organizing themselves into collectively boycotting a product? Is it because conservative republicans do not have a commanding purchasing power such that these companies can afford to lose their money and still remain viable with only liberal democrats money? Or better still, may be it is the republicanism in these conservative republicans which permits everybody to freely conduct themselves and express their opinions as they see fit. Possibly, these corporations and companies are taking advantage of it, aware that it is not in the nature of conservative republicans to start dictating to people how they should behave or conduct their lives, including what they are allowed to say or do or what products to buy or boycott. 

The companies and corporations have figured out that conservative republicans are not a threat to their bottomline hence they no longer carter to their needs or worry about what they think  anymore. They see liberal democrats as the only threat to their bottomline, hence the need to always pamper them and do whatever they demand in order to please them and prevent losing their portion of their overall profitability. This is a taking of advantage gone too far, that what conservative republicans want no longer matters to America corporate world and the reason they see them as the docile segment of the American society which they should not be afraid of. Why should Major League Baseball move their event out of Atlanta just because liberal democrats complained about Georgia's government effort to fix election fraud. But they ignored the fact that majority of their fans are conservative republicans. 

Imagine if conservative republicans were as active as their liberal democrats in boycotting products and threatening companies and corporations, will these businesses so readily threaten Republican State governments and forcing them to conform or be boycotted? Will they readily bankroll and support such liberal causes that are bent on remaking America in their own liberal utopia image. Will they always fall behind liberal policies and without a care in the world about what the conservative republicans want or desire to see in the America which they inherited from their forebears and which they will like to someday hand off to their children and children's children. But no, conservatives are a conquered or timid group and they cannot do anything to rock their bottomline.

Coca Cola is threatening Georgia and you wonder who consumes majority of their diabetes and heart trouble inducing chemical products if not conservative republicans poor rural Americans mostly in the flyover States. These people are not as health conscious as their city dwelling liberal democrats, who are into healthy living lifestyle, yoga, fitness, running and exercise, weight watching, watching what they eat, calculating how many calories they consume and how many calories they burnt from their Apple smart tech watches and other health.o.meters. Yet Coca Cola panders to them more than the conservatives who binge on junk foods and their diabetes inducing sugary drinks. 

Something is definitely wrong with the picture being painted by corporate America; so conservative republicans must find a way to force a change in their treatment. They must organize themselves into a formidable force to reckon with by learning the art of product boycott in order to gain much eluded respect from corporate America. Imagine the impact which 74 million MAGA strong boycott could make. Enough of tolerating the dismissive shabby treatment and disregard of conservative republicans by corporate America. It is about time they did something about it to awaken corporate America to the fact that they too can bite and that they are not toothless bulldog, admitted they have been sleeping for so long. Boycott is power, learn to use it conservative republicans as you too can do it.

911 CALLS TOO MANY FROM MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY.

ICHEOKU says all the pretenses notwithstanding, the dam of their facade will very soon bust and the cascading flood will wash up all the past many years of a make belief tale of a happy commoner who married a real life prince. Nine emergency 911 calls for police help all within a few short period of nine months, is not a testament to a happy family life. 

Although the police is not telling whether any of the calls was domestic violence related or only purely security concerns as stated, but is sure do give the tax payers of America who are footing the bill a reason to raise some eyebrow. Just one family putting that many calls to the emergency department is simply calls too many as they are ordinary citizens and should not over burden a public service that so much. If they have issue with their security arrangement, they should fix it by themselves instead of burdening the emergency department paid and maintained by the general public. It is like they have privatized the emergency service and it is now working for them instead of just benefitting them like any other members of the public. 

Whatever may be their issue, thats a lot of 911 calls coming from just one family as they are definitely bleeding the system and overtasking our first responders and law enforcement agents. May be they should start charging them each time they make such a call, especially when nothing was found to be the emergency requiring dispatching first responders to their home. American taxpayers should not be made to foot the bills for their personal security or be forced, albeit by default, to be subsidizing their home and overall general security. Enough of the drain on the system by a drama Queen Meghan Markle and her hostage, the renegade British Prince Harry who she abducted away from his family and now bothering everyone for his and her security. Their security should be the British taxpayers bill to foot and not America's taxpayers burden. No more 911 calls Meghan.

ANOTHER NORTHERN IGP: A TOTAL SNUB OF NDIGBO SOUTHEAST BY MUHAMMADU BUHARI.

ICHEOKU says now that Muhammadu Buhari has made it categorically clear that Ndigbo Southeast has no inheritance in the house of Buhari administration; having incontrovertibly proved himself as an Igbo hating Fulani irredentist, it is time Ndigbo paid him back in his own coin by denouncing him completely as a leprous outcast himself. Ndigbo Southeast should end further cooperation with his administration and maintain that coldness towards him until he serves out his term or dies, which ever one comes first. Muhammadu Buhari has a cold heart of steel and his hatred of Ndigbo Southeast is irredeemably beyond repair, so Ndigbo should stop even trying to make him love them because he is incapable of showing affection for people who are not of his Fulani stork and worse still, Ndigbo Southeast. 

His hatred for Ndigbo did not start today but began in 1966 when some Nigerian army officers carried out a military coup which was later branded an Igbo coup just to wipe out Igbo officers in the military. He was involved in the Nigerian war of attrition against Biafrans which claimed over 3 million Biafran lives principally orchestrated through starvation and attendant diseases. He followed it up with a military coup in December 1983 when he locked up an Igbo Vice President but put the Fulani president in a cozy house arrest. He also refused to support an Igbo man who was vying for Secretary of the then Organization of African Unity and instead saw to the successful election of his fellow contestant, a member of Buhari's Fulani stork from neighboring Niger Republic. And then he became president in 2015 and his hatred for Ndigbo went to stratospherically heights. 

Now, he has completely dashed any hope of making amends for all his past storied anti Ndigbo disposition with his appointment of yet another Northern Inspector General of Police, a position which was expected to go to an Igbo person due to the lopsidedness of his previous appointments which completely marginalized and kept Ndigbo out. He appointed five security chiefs without even one Igbo person among them and in a country where Ndigbo is more than one third of the population. But Ndigbo remained ever optimistic that he will redress the imbalance when he appoints a new Inspector General of Police, which he has now done but still chose another Northerner instead. So, by his latest action he has confirmed beyond every shadow of doubt that he detests Ndigbo and does not want to have anything to do with them or maintain any relationship with them whatsoever. 

He has proved once again that he will take his hatred for Ndigbo to hell when he eventually succumbs to the vagaries of old age. Ndigbo should let him know in unmistakable terms that they have accepted his gauntlet and acknowledge that they now fully understand that there is no love lost between him and Ndigbo. Ndigbo should endeavor to return his hatred back to him in kind as hate cancels hate just like fire quenches fire. He is not useful to Ndigbo and should not be treated with any more respect going forward. He should be completely ignored and scorned throughout the remainder of his term in office and waited out with much derision. There is no more use of respecting or cajoling him as nothing ever productive and beneficial to Ndigbo have come from all the past respects. Even some of his orders should be ignored where possible and welcoming him or any of his agents in the Southeast should be completely tabooed going forward. 

In short, a strong message should be sent to Aso Rock denouncing Muhammadu Buhari's asinine hatred of Ndigbo, a major component part of Nigeria. If he could afford to not recognize Ndigbo as bona fide Nigerians, then Ndigbo should return the favor by also not recognizing him as a bona fide president of Nigeria. He is busy building railway lines to Niger Republic but none for Igbo land; ditto road constructions, refineries and other industries. He has neglected Southeast since he came into office and has completely ostracized Ndigbo from his government; so Ndigbo should ostracize him too from their lives in return favor. Enough of all the love shown to Muhammadu Buhari by Ndigbo which he normally pays back with vile and hatred. He has only two more years to go and Ndigbo have survived him for nearly six years now and will easily survive him for the remaining next two years.

This new Northern IGP appointment is another reason for the hopelessly optimistic Ndigbo who are wishing for a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction in 2023 to be really worried as their expectation might be similarly dashed. It is apparent that Muhammadu Buhari will not in this life hand over power to an Igbo person, having shown the much he hates Ndigbo with such venom. No previous Nigerian president have ever marginalized any group of Nigerians as Ndigbo are are currently being marginalized under Muhammadu Buhari's presidency. A clear testament that nobody wants Ndigbo in Nigeria yet they will not allow them to secede and form their own country, Biafra.  All the marginalization is going on but there is no outcry from other tribes in in Nigeria in condemnation of Ndigbo's fate under Muhammdu Buhari, being so singled out in this manner. 

They see Ndigbo as useful idiots only good for carrying the thankless workload of Nigeria's unity but not good for governance or the headship of any Nigerian security agency. Ndigbo do all the heavy lifting which sustains Nigeria, including carrying the economy, stocking and resupplying various chains of needs, paying largest import duties, VAT and taxes; and also hugely involved in real estate development of Nigeria. But all they get in return for all their contributions to Nigeria sustainability is such maltreatment of marginalization and that they are not good enough to hold real power. ICHEOKU says it is about time the Ndigbo's rejection by Muhammadu Buhari and other Nigerians is reciprocated in kind and let the particles collide of it must. It does not necessarily have to be a shooting hot war, a Cold War will suffice. But enough of the fruitless effort to remain good Nigerians by Ndigbo. #EnoughWIthBuhari

THE WORLD IS UNRAVELLING UNDER JOE BIDEN'S WATCH.

ICHEOKU says under Joe Biden's watch, the world is going to hell in a hand basket and either he does not know what to do about the situation or he has simply surrendered in defeat even before trying. The Tigray region of Ethiopia is being pulverized under ethnic genocide; Iran is back at carrying out its disruptive activities in the Middle East; Nigerian government is cuddling Northern Islamists terrorists while massacring Southern freedom agitators; the Southern border with Mexico is under a barrage of illegal immigrants flooding of America; Northern Ireland is gradually sliding back to its old ways of sectarian violence; Myanmar has been erupting for nearly six weeks now with over 500 people killed so far; North Korea is back to shooting off missiles; China is seriously threatening to invade Taiwan and now Russia is amassing forces along its border with Ukraine preparatory to rolling their tanks into Ukraine and right through to Kiev. But what is Joe Biden's answer to any of these, nothing; not even a strong forceful statement in condemnation to deter these actors. ICHEOKU says this is the new world order which America's anomaly of November 3rd 2020 foist on everyone. It is sad.

TIGER WOODS WALKS AWAY FREE: NOT EVEN A SPEEDING TICKET.

ICHEOKU says accident investigation report has it that Tiger Woods was speeding when he had the accident in California. He was running late to a meeting, but why he failed to see the curvature of the road and/or did not mitigate the situation by slowing down may never be known since his phone was not checked to see if he was distracted by texting to the party he was going to meet to say that he was on his way. 

There was no breath analyzer and his blood was not drawn to see if there were some substances that could have altered his reason. It was also a lone accident and no other vehicle was involved for property damage claim and nobody else was injured as a result. Luckily for TW he committed no crime for which he could be arrested; not even for speeding because no police officer witnessed him speeding and he did not even get a speeding ticket. Interesting development.

DEREK CHAUVIN: ARE PEOPLE EVEN WATCHING THE TRIAL?

ICHEOKU says are people actually watching the trial of Derek Chauvin going on in Minneapolis Minnesota. Just wondering why the liberal television stations are covering it wall to wall and what is the newsworthiness of reliving the nightmare which unfolded before our eyes last summer. Who wants to be reminded once again of the public execution of a black man George Floyd by then police officer Derek Chauvin. We already know the outcome, a conviction, and only the verdict would have been sufficient instead of the barrage coverage.

ASTRAZENECA: A SHAME OF BRITAIN.

ICHEOKU says the failure of AstraZeneca vaccine to excel is indeed a shame to British scientists. A people that used to be a signature of quality and competency but are currently floundering in nearly every aspect of their life due to needless political correctness which has affected nearly everything British. Hopefully, they will be able to fix whatever is jinxing their version of the coronavirus vaccine, but it is a bad new when Britain can no longer be trusted to make good medicine. It is sad. 

PRINCE HARRY CHOSE FAME TO FAMILY - PRINCE WILLIAM.

ICHEOKU says a case where a young man allowed fame and fortune promise of Hollywood to get the better part of him and to the extent of walking away from his family which gave him so much. According to Prince William, Prince Harry has gotten too big for his boots since moving to California and the success have gone to his head. Harry has put fame over family and it is bad.

NEW YORK DOORMEN FIRED FOR NOT AIDING ASIAN WOMAN: IT WAS WRONG.

ICHEOKU says the two doormen do not owe the 65 year old Asian woman, victim of the vicious attack by a deranged man in New York, the duty to come to her aid or to rescue her from her attacker because they did not put her in the jeopardy. They are also not law enforcement agents whose duty is to "protect and serve" the public which would have imposed on them the duty to aid a member of the public in peril and rescue her. 

Therefore, it is wrong for The Brodsky Organization, the owners of building at 360 West 43rd Street, Manhattan, New York City, to fire the doormen who were on duty during the attack for not rushing to the aid and rescue of the victim. The attack took place outside their building, on a public sidewalk, where their duty to open and close doors at 360 West 43rd Street did not extend to. Further, the victim is not a child, whose child status would have otherwise imposed a mandatory duty to rescue a child in danger on the doormen. Lastly, there was no special relationship between the doormen and the victim.

It is in the same New York City Long Island that a doorman, Ralph Body, was fired from his job for being too nice and too accommodating; and was upbraided for going far and beyond his duties in being too kind to tenants and passersby in building 27 at 27th Street. So what if the two doormen were aware of what happened to Ralph Body, afterall they all belong to the same Trade Union and decided to mind their business as they did not want to be similarly fired for being "too nice and too accommodating", this time to a total stranger. What crime did they commit and what wrong did they do in performing their duty, which was to open and close doors at building 360 West 43rd Manhattan New York City, that should warrant their dismissal from their job. Even the police warn the public against self help and not to resist criminals when they strike but to call the police. They also tell bankers that in case of bank robbers to always give them all the money they want and try to stay alive. 

But here in New York City, the owners of a building are now telling us that they expected their employees to become vigilantes and to engage in violent self help being guardians of the surrounding streets and sidewalks near their building; and to physically intervene whenever they see someone in peril around their building. ICHEOKU is emphatic that had the two doormen intervened in the attack, the building management would have still fired them for veering off their duty post to intervene in matters outside their primary responsibility. Had they intervened and the attacker later sued them, would the owners of the building have accepted responsibility that the two doormen were their agents, acting within their authorized duty or quickly denied their action as a frolic and therefore not vicariously liable for it. 

What if the accused attacker had a concealed weapon, afterall he murdered his own biological mother, went to prison for 12 years before being paroled, and then visited the vicious attack on the victim. What if in the course of their intervention the attacker had killed the two doormen or injured them or the doormen had even killed or injured the attacker, whose responsibility will that be? Would the management not have blamed them for courting their fate by going outside their prescribed duty to intervene in a matter which does not concern them nor their job as doormen. 

The doormen did exactly what was reasonably expected of them to do in the circumstance: they immediately called 911, rushed out to help the victim and flagged down a passing police patrol vehicle to report the attack and also waited to give statements while the emergency vehicle arrived and took the victim to the hospital. This is exactly what doing something by the book which was expected of them really looks like and they should not have been fired for doing right by the woman and their employers as it was not their responsibility to fight off the attacker. 

Even in carjacking situation, the police advise against resisting or fighting the car jacker, so why should this case be any different or was it because the victim is Asian and belongs to the class of protected endangered species of America who everybody must aid in situations as this. What other thing could possibly justify the unreasonable expectations placed on the doormen that led to their firing if not some peculiar consideration due to the current political atmosphere in America where Asians are being accorded some special protection. 

In fact it is the two doormen that are actually being victimized in this matter and their Trade Union must not put up with it. They should proceed to the court immediately and have the management company reinstate the their two members back to their duty post. They did nothing wrong and there is nothing in what they did to warrant or justify their firing. They should not be singled out and punished for what a mad man did on the street side walk outside their area of authority. No rational person watching how viciously that huge beastly man attacked the woman would voluntarily put themselves in harms way by intervening in the attack. The attacker is massive and his history, although not known at the time of the attack, adds impetus to why no rational person would have intervened. If he had the heart to do that to a woman, after killing his own mother, imagine what he could possibly do to others including two intervening doormen. 

There was no other emergency protocol in the circumstance which they failed to observe, short of what they did and they also locked their building to protect their tenants from possible harm. The Brodsky Organization was wrong in firing the two doormen and they should get their jobs back and in any other event, be paid handsomely for wrongful termination of employment. Where there is no duty owed to an individual there is no expectation of help or intervention to save the individual from danger or harm. Therefore the two doormen were not wrong in failing to fight off the attacker of the Asian woman in front of their building. It may be morally wrong or somewhat viewed as a breach of Good Samaritan aiding a victim, but that only applies when an aiding bystander puts the victim in more harm. Also, it was not as if the victim sought shelter in their building and they pushed her away and into her peril. They were innocent observers of a crime and that should not cost them their jobs. 

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE SOUTHERN BORDER: WHY THEY COME.

ICHEOKU says they come become America wants them here and Joe Biden gave them the incentive of being welcomed and never sent back. Meanwhile American fathers are having their wages garnished for child support and those who refused to pay are sometimes sent to prison. But in Mexico and other Latin American countries, their men are busy making babies and shipping them across the southern border into America, where they are taken care of with American tax payers money, including a lot from American men. So it is ok to be a debit dad in Mexico and other Latin American countries but not ok in America. 

What a warped sense of duty to country this is. Just in case you are still wondering why the dam of illegal immigration has burst at the southern border, note that it is because it is good to be free of obligations. It is cheaper to pay a coyote $5,000 bucks to take their child to America than to train them for 18 long years. As a result, those men in the Southern hemisphere are well incentivized to continue the flooding of their children into America. It is simple mathematics and economics, they are exact science and science don't lie. Until the government starts sending everyone back to their originating countries or their fathers traced and made to pay for their upkeep in America, the crisis at the southern border will only get worse. Now you know why they come.
