GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

WHY HILLARY CLINTON DELETED THOSE 33,000 EMAILS.

ICHEOKU says Dr Anthony Fauci leaked emails show why Hillary Clinton refused to turn over her subpoenaed 33,000 emails and instead willfully destroyed them. The toxicity of their content was such that would have kept every American aghast with rude shock. If Dr Fauci's few emails were this revealing, imagine what Hillary Clinton's 33,000 deleted and bleach washed emails would have showed. It is sad that she got away with it.

GENOCIDAL BUHARI: WHEN WILL THE WORLD CALL HIM TO ORDER?

ICHEOKU says Muhammadu Buhari is threatening to carry out another genocide against the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra and has been incrementally killing them for quite some time now. ICHEOKU says what is the White House waiting for before calling this Nigeria maniacal Fulani irredentist to order and forbade him from ever going through with his threatened State mass murder. 

Muhammadu Buhari is trying to exterminate Christians and other nationalities in Nigeria just to make way for his tribe's Fulani herdsmen to take over the entire Nigerian geographical space. Joe Biden must not stand aside and look as Nigerian Muhammadu Buhari carry out his threatened mass killing of the people of Biafra. It will be easier for the United States of America not to allow the current developing conflict in Nigeria turn into a major conflagration as the consequences will be dire to the whole West African sub region. #StopBuhariNow

YET ANOTHER TASK FOR KAMALA HARRIS?

ICHEOKU says when you think that Kamala Harris' plate is already spilling over with too many responsibilities, here comes Joe Biden adding more into it. Now he wants her to also be in charge of voting rights issues in America. The Southern border crisis which she was earlier assigned is still festering and so is the infrastructure problem too; but Joe Biden in his infinite wisdom sees it fit to yet assign her another task even when she has not delivered nor shown the propensity and capacity to deliver on those tasks which were previously assigned to her. 

It will be interesting to see how this administration eventually saunters through its term, but all these delegations of duties by Joe Biden to Kamala Harris leaves so many people wondering who is actually in charge of affairs in the government. Why not just formally trade places with Kamala Harris and make it official that Kamala Harris is the one on top, since he has shown repeatedly that he is not up to the task himself personally. But is Kamala Harris even up to the task, her recent trip to Latin America considered; except that the so many duties being delegated to her by Joe Biden telegraphs a message that at least in Joe Biden's judgment, she is better than himself. 

TUCKER CARLSON: WHAT IS HIS VACCINATION STATUS?

ICHEOKU says the continuing anti vaccination gospel being preached nightly by FoxNews Tucker Carlson is stretching too far and might be costing some American people their lives. Two anti vaccer deputy sheriffs in Colorado have recently died from the coronavirus disease following their refusal to get vaccinated based on probably what they hear being preached nightly by Tucker Carlson. Could they have been saved had they got the vaccine, nobody can say for sure, but at least not getting the vaccination could have ruled out as the reason they died. 

So, instead of continuously spewing his anti vaccination message, Tucker Carlson should leave Americans alone to make the final choice on whether or not to get vaccinated. His stance is making it difficult and becoming an unbearable influence on some people who would have ordinarily got their vaccinations but are still hanging tough because of what they hear from Tucker Carlson. People are readily influenced by persons they look up to and hold in a particular lofty manner and Tucker Carlson is definitely influencing so many American people. It is such that were he to publicly on his show admit that he has taken the shot, so many people will immediately follow suit and got their own shots as well.

So, before Tucker Carlson can continue with his gospel against vaccination, it will be nice, in the interest of full disclosure, if he can tell the nation what his vaccination status really is; and whether members of his family including his wife and children have been vaccinated. But it is not fair nor just for his listeners to be continuously misguided into rejecting the vaccine while he had already secretly gotten his own vaccination. Recall that so many America people, especially members of MAGA family, did not know that President Donald John Trump secretly got his own vaccination while still in the White House while projecting a different image publicly, until very much later following his removal from office. Tucker Carlson should not be allowed to pull off a similar deceitful stunt on American people and he needs to clear the air now on his vaccination status. 

Is it possible that Tucker Carlson have already been fully vaccinated while still maintaining his anti vaccination stance on television and thereby continuing to deceive millions of Americans who listen to his show and dissuading them from getting their own shots. If he has not got his own shot that will be very nice and acceptable, but it will be abominable and condemnable if he already got his shot while still putting up a different face and preaching a different anti vaccine sermon on his show. ICHEOKU says Tucker Carlson should please clarify and immediately disclose his vaccination status in order to retain the moral authority to opine his anti vaccination message and also maintain his credibility as an anti vaccer guru in chief. But overall, over one hundred million Americans have got their vaccination and at that number, the "vaccine will kill you" fear mongering is no longer an acceptable excuse for not getting vaccinated since over one hundred million Americans cannot be all suicidal. #TuckerCarlsonVaccinationStatus.

NAOMI OSAKA SHOULD HAVE BEEN ACCOMMODATED BY THE FRENCH OPEN.

ICHEOKU says by forcing her out of the French Open tennis tournament, the organizers have shown that they really do not care about the welfare of players but only cares about promoting their event through media publicity. Why should Naomi Osaka not have the power to refuse to speak with the media or simply reserve her right not to engage with them. Majority of them are fake news anyway and will as always partially report what she says, regardless; just to remain sensational and keep their bottomline healthy. 

Why should any reasonable person, including someone who is ordinarily not comfortable with speaking with the media, be compelled to face her worst fears and when she couldn't, was fined and threatened with more sanctions, which forced her to excuse herself from a tournament which she could have won handily, thereby foregoing millions of dollars in winning prize money, loyalties and advertisements fees, which would have come her way as a result Why did the organizers of the French Open respond the in the manner they did and not try to first find out why she is not comfortable with speaking with the media once she announced the planned boycott. Instead, they proceeded to fine her and threaten her with other punishments, including disqualification and a permanent banned from all future competitions. 

What if she is camera and publicity shy and would rather not be caught flatfooted, mumbling words in front of the world or even completely freezing up in front of the media. What if she has some speech disorder such as glossophobia, selective mutism or even social/media anxiety disorder which she has not previously disclosed. What if none of the above was the case and a pure desire not to engage with the media informed her decision to boycott them. Why must it be an added responsibility for an athlete to speak with the media, what if the athlete does not know how to speak in public before so many cameras and lights; or does not want to speak at all or is  not in the mood to engage the media. Why the media engagement compulsion?

ICHEOKU says the tournament should have focused more attention on an athlete's performance rather then her thought process as the French Open competition is to showcase her prowess and not to psychoanalyze her. Why is what she would have said more important than how she would have played in the competition, her first game considered. Why was the media not made to figure the rest out and treat it like beauty which is in the eyes of the beholder. Now that she has been forced to come out as a mental health sufferer and tell the world that her decision to avoid the media was mental health based, what will the organizers who boxed her into the corner, say to millions of people world over who are afflicted with one form of mental health challenge or the other. That they should not participate in tournaments simply because they cannot simultaneously be public relations experts for the tournament. 

Why do companies and corporations have PR departments instead of their CEO always opining on matters affecting companies in their interactions with the media on how their companies are faring and performing? To compel someone who prepared and trained for the French Open to abandon ship just because she is not comfortable speaking with the media is too drastic and callous. Why punish such a superstar who would have delivered her A game simply because she cannot stand the media, which increases her anxiety disorder. Then to add insult to the injury, the heartless French Open fined her thousands of dollars and threatened her with disqualification and permanent ban from all future tournaments which forced her to withdraw from the tournament. 

That the French Open could be so mean speaks volume about who they are and what they really care for. They have warped priorities and they are definitely not mental health friendly. Why did they go so hard on Naomi Osaka or is it possible because she does not have the "right" skin color? If she were white, would they not have done everything possible to meet her half way to explore possible accommodations? Afterall she announced that she will be boycotting the media ahead of the competition and provided the organizers with ample time to explore what is possible under the circumstance. They could have found her a psychologist to evaluate her and then determine what other options are available. What if she has aphasia or is even dumb? Does it mean that a person who is speech impaired cannot be a tennis player. They could have had the media submit their questions in advance and have her submit her written answers as handouts. 

It is unfortunate that the French Open have lost its best promise for a great competition and with her now gone, the light has dimmed on the tournament. ICHEOKU and millions of others, especially in Japan and other Asian countries who were previously rooting for their own Naomi Osaka and enthusiastically watching and following the French Open, will now definitely tune off as the reason for the season has been canceled out of the competition. It was such a disgrace that the organizers of the French Open did not to do all they could have done to mitigate the Naomi Osaka's media problem and instead, went the harshest route possible to punish her with fines and threats of disqualification and ban from all future competitions. It is not the right way to go and their approach and methodology are cruel and lacks a human face. In short, they are heartless. The French Open is anti disability and punishes mental health issues. It is sad. #StandWithNaomiOsaka.

MAY 31ST IS AMERICA'S MEMORIAL DAY: LETS REMEMBER OUR HEROES.

ICHEOKU says May 31st is America's Memorial Day, the day Americans celebrate those who made the supreme sacrifice to make Americans' freedom possible. May God continue to bless America, keep America God's own country and continue to give America's dead everlasting rest. Happy celebrations America!

ON MAY 30TH BIAFRA REMEMBER THEIR HEROES: MAY THEIR SOULS CONTINUE TO REST.

ICHEOKU says Biafra is uploading. May Chukwu Okike Abiam grant Mazi Nnamdi Kanu everything he needs to see the current struggle through and birth the Biafran nation. May he become the Biafran Joshua who eventually led Biafrans into the promise land, a journey began 54 years ago by Odimegwu Ojukwu, the Moses of Biafra. We have spent more than forty years in the wilderness of One Nigeria and wants out through a BiaExit referendum. One with God is the majority and Biafrans serve the true living God, Chukwu Okeke Abiama is his name and his wrath is dispensed by Amadi-Oha. Biafran remember their dead war heroes. Happy Biafra Memorial Day Biafra! #KeepHopeAlive. 

ODIMEGWU OJUKWU: IMMORTALIZE HIM WITH A MAY 30TH BIAFRAN HOLIDAY.

ICHEOKU says he was the Moses of Biafra who pointed the way forward and showed the Indigenous People of Biafra what is possible in a promised homeland of their own where they can liberate their potentials to the fullest. But the Nigerian detractors are still on the way from the realization of that long dreamed homeland. Where he stopped, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has fully stepped in as the Joshua of Biafra that will eventually anchor the promised land. May God continue to guide and lead him while his predecessor continue to rest in peace IJN. #BiafransKeepHopeAlive. 

BIAFRA: THE STRUGGLE FOR A NEW NATION, WHY WE FIGHT.

Biafra was birthed because of a non stop pogrom against Ndigbo in Northern Nigeria, which inspired the need to find a safe homeland where Ndigbo will be safe and free. It led to the 1967 to 1970 civil war as the Nigerian government refused to let Ndigbo leave Nigeria and waged a brutal war of attrition to prevent it. They frustrated the Colonel Odimegwu Ojukwu led effort to find a safe and secure homeland where Ndigbo will no longer by slaughtered at the whiff of Northern Nigerians. Although the shooting hostilities ended in 1970 but the restive spirit for Biafra lives on and have recently been rekindled by the effort of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is leading the current effort through IPOB and ESN. 

ICHEOKU commends his bravery, courage and doggedness and prays for God's protection and guidance as he navigates the boat of freedom for Biafran people through the sharks infested waters of international politics as well as internal Nigerian Fulani Janjaweed armed forces, who are once again fighting to frustrate his effort. Nigeria knows that they are so empty without Ndigbo and that they cannot survive without Ndigbo, the reason they are fighting so mad to prevent the Biafra sun from rising again. But they may not be as lucky this time as they were in the 1960s as the world has since transcended from the geopolitics of the 1960s and now have so many other variables that could actually influence things. In other words, BiaExit is uploading.

During the previous war, Britain was able to also mobilize forces of Europe, America and Egypt and together, they helped Nigeria crush the Biafran resistance. But their primordial argument for ensuring the indivisibility of Nigeria may not be as persuasive today as it was then when James Harold Wilson held sway at 10 Downing Street. Some other countries of the world will certainly  take a special interest in the issue should the presently deteriorating situation eventually snowball into another shooting war. It is also worth noting that the media has since changed and the space for narrative has become more widened to accommodate non official account of what is going on, the last Israel and Hamas conflict considered. Put in another way, it will not be a one-sided war, reportage or propaganda this time around as it was during the previous war and it will not end as the previous one, as it will definitely have a different outcome this time around. 

After the civil war, the then Nigerian government declared "no victor, no vanquish" in its attempt to pull everyone back together as one Nigerians. But unfortunately, it was a mere insincere lip service hogwash as successive Nigerian government failed to live up to the expectations that Ndigbo are fully integrated as bona fide citizens of Nigerians. Ndigbo have been continuously marginalized in every sphere of Nigeria, including infrastructural developments, leadership of Nigeria, appointments, business opportunities, colleges and schools for their children, job opportunities for their well educated and supremely qualified wards who are displaced by Fulani dimwits, many of who cannot even spell their names, read written text nor even pronounce words correctly. How can any sane person preaching oneness of Nigeria explain or expect any Igbo person to understand that the entire government of Nigeria has no Igbo person heading any of its arms and branches including its five security agencies.

So how can Biafrans be expected to continue to live in such an anti Biafrans toxic political union, watching people they are better than lord it over them in every aspect of society. It is this unending brazen marginalization of Ndigbo that birthed MASSOB, IPOB and ESN, groups which are now once again fighting to restore Biafra since Nigeria does not want Ndigbo as part of them in the true sense of it. After the civil war, Ndigbo did not want to talk about Biafra anymore but were forced to talk about Biafra through unmitigated marginalization and complete shut out from Nigeria. Now, Biafra has become a daily talk in Igboland rekindling the Biafran spirit once again and Nigeria is now fighting back to once again snuff it out. Ndigbo were forced back to Nigeria, but after coming back to Nigeria, they are still not accepted as Nigerians but are being continuously treated as unworthy strangers not deserving of a say or place or position of authority in Nigeria. 

This is the crux of the matter, the reason for the current season of reinvigorated Biafra, the ongoing feverish agitation and restiveness in the Igbo land Southeast. ICHEOKU says the agitation can only grow louder as the people are feverishly impassioned and wildly sensitized that no amount of intimation or massacre will silence them any longer. They have lost it and the continuing massacre of Ndigbo are blood letting too much to bear. Nigerian government and their British collaborators must be prepared to completely exterminate very Biafran otherwise they will not achieve their objective to silence them again and deny them a rightful quest for their own separate homeland. It is a matter with limited choice as only two meaningful choices actually exist, either it is resolved peacefully or through the hard way, but either way, only one outcome will be acceptable, the freedom from oppression of Biafran people. This is the only water that could quench the current burning desire in Biafra land for their own separate, safe and free homeland and an exit out of Nigeria. The die is cast. 

May 30th each year is the day set aside to honor and commemorate all Biafrans dead, millions of them, lost in various genocides against perpetrated by Northern Nigerians. To date over 7 million Biafrans have lost their lives as a result of the wickedness of Northern Nigerians led by the uncircumcised Fulani Philistines, including their Janjaweed soldiers, police, security services, herdsmen, bandits, terrorists, kidnappers, hired killers, marauders as well as those who died because of Fulani government policies which denied Biafrans means of livelihood. Biafrans who perished in the war are also included and the killings of Biafrans are continuing as the author presses the keyboards for this article. So, it is time Nigeria and Britain let Biafrans go in peace or they will be forced to let them go in pieces, an otherwise avoidable tragedy. But the same United Kingdom which left the European Union peacefully apparently now desires to see millions of Biafrans blood spilled before allowing them to have their own exit from Nigeria. What a blood suckers they are. Shame on them.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AMERICA!

ICHEOKU says thank you American veterans of many wars who died in the service of their fatherland that we the living may enjoy the freedom we have today. We appreciate their selfless sacrifices and are grateful for their heroism. Lets celebrate them. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend America!

BIAFRANS TOO, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND BIAFRA!

ICHEOKU says veterans of Biafran war who fought to save the indigenous peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and despite their gallant effort, over five million Biafrans were still massacred by the rampaging Nigerian army aided by their British and American as well as Egyptian war machines, we celebrate you. Despite the overmatched power, Biafran veterans held their own and kept Biafra alive for three long years until the economic blockade of food and medicine took untoward toll on their will of resistance. For their unmatched bravery, ICHEOKU celebrates them on the occasion of Biafra Memorial Day which falls on May 30th, which weekend we are now in. The rising sun will take its rightful shinning place again and possibly before too long. It is only a matter of time for the confluence meets. Remain the blessed and proud Umu Chineke which you fellas are. Happy Memorial Day weekend Biafra!

CATRIONA LAING: THE BRITISH HIGH COMMISSIONER IN NIGERIA SHOULD BE CENSURED.

ICHEOKU says Nigeria and other African countries can never progressively move forward until they have leaders who are not intimidated by the white skin and who do not have black inferiority complex. Africa need leaders who will not genuflect, bow and salute to every white person, including those in authority in Europe and America as well as their representatives in Africa. President Paul Kagame of Rwanda is forged in this mold of the leaders which Africa need and his wrestling France President Emmanuel Macron to finally admit to France's complicity in the 1994 Rwanda genocide is highly commendable. He made Africans and the entire black race proud as he stood tall and refused to bow before the little Parisian who thinks himself a Charles De Gaulle.

African leaders have failed to understand that white people protect only white interest and that they have their own white people back in their countries of Europe and America to take care of first, before allowing any leftover crumbs to fall for other people including the overly dependent Africans. This is the reason no substantial progress has been made in Africa as the continent has been left behind holding the beggarly plate for such a long time and continuing till today. Why has Britain not helped Nigeria and other of its former colonies become power sufficient or don't they know how to build power stations? Why has Britain not helped Nigeria develop its infrastructures or is Britain not developed, thus showing that they have the technical knowhow. 

But no, freeing Nigeria from its vestiges and clutches is not in their plan as that will be detrimental to their overall objective of maintaining their proboscis permanently fixed on Nigeria's natural resources. They need to continue feeding their own people as well as have a Nigeria buying market for the continuous dumping of their manufactured products including generators, which keep the manufacturing industries in their country busily churning and providing jobs for their own citizens. 

So the incentive is not there for Britain to actually want to see Nigeria develop its full potentials and is steadily working as hard as they can to continuously throw spanner in the wheel of Nigeria any time something positive wants to rear its head in Nigeria. They sponsored the civil war of 1967 through 1970 and participated in the devastation of Biafrans which Nigeria is yet to recover from. They have been subverting government and policies ever since to keep a lid on Nigeria's development effort. Now, they are in the process of igniting another civil war by insisting that Nigerians cannot freely and peacefully determine their way forward and through a referendum on whether their co-existence has been beneficial far to warrant extending it or to just peacefully yield to their disparate nationalities. 

Britain seceded from the European Union; Scotland is agitating for separation from the United Kingdom and many other European nations are headed in this direction including Catalonia which is desirous of parting ways with Spain. It is also interesting that Britain has a misery population of about 68 million people and Biafra easily commands a population of approximately 75 million people. But Britain is lording it over the entire Nigeria with a population of over 220 million people and insisting that Nigeria must remain as one entity. ICHEOKU says on whose authority does 10 Downing Street act and who made them the arbiter of what goes on in Nigeria, especially since Nigeria is an independent country. 

But a bunch of servile marauders who see white people as gods who must be obeyed are in charge of affairs, hence their continuous submission to the will of 10 Downing Street as conveyed by their High Commissioner to Nigeria. Some of these things are so reprehensibly meddlesome that no civilized, truly independent country would accept them. Speaking of the current British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Wendy Campbell Lang and what she said about Nigeria's only option being 2023. Imagine such a foreigner insisting on the way Nigerians must live and conduct their affairs, yet her diplomatic paper has not been revoked and have her deported out of the country.

The British High Commissioner should be reminded of her role as her country's representative in Nigeria and must not be allowed or heard or seen to meddle in purely Nigeria's domestic affairs matters. She cannot be allowed to become a dictator on how Nigerians must conduct themselves including whether they can even continue to live together as one. Her saying no to peaceful agitation must not be tolerated as every nationality in the world has a right to determine how they want to live their lives. Therefore, she must back off from her current meddling in the agitation for self governance by Biafra and Oduduwa as well as other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria, who desire to strike out on their own and chart their different course going forward. 

She went t Port Harcourt to dissuade Rivers States from signing up to the Biafra agitation and also successfully cajoled Governor Nyesom Wike and obtained hits consent o stand against Biafra agitation and ensure that the free oil from Rivers States will continue to flow to Britain uninhibited.  Thereafter, she got the temerity to publicly speak out that Nigeria MUST remain one indivisible country and that 2023 is sacrosanct. ICHEOKU says on whose authority does she speak or did Nigeria not severe the umbilical cord of colonialism from then Great Britain in 1960 which it followed up in 1963 with cutting ties with the British monarchy headship of Nigeria through republicanism. 

So why must this woman feel that she still have the right to dictate to Nigerians on their way forward when her predecessor in office Paul Arkwright had previously assured that Britain's relationship with Nigeria has changed from the past "parenting" mode to now a new equal hpartnership. Did she not get nor read the handover note e left or was that why 10 Downing Street removed the former fella and sent her to remind Nigerians that they are still subservient to Britain and must always listen whenever the British talks. Why is Nigeria still behaving in a manner which suggests that 1960 did not happen and that they are still beholden to 10 Downing Street when other countries similarly colonized by Britain like India and Pakistan have since moved on. 

Why is Nigeria so moronic not to learn and emulate other countries which are progressively moving forward. Why is the country not utilizing its huge human capital which can compete with the best anywhere in the world to secure the country's future, instead of allowing themselves to be led by the nose by uneducated and uncivilized mallams who kowtow to every British dictates out of timidity. If Scotland constantly votes on their independence from the United Kingdom, why can't Oduduwa and Biafra do the same in respect of Nigeria? Why should this woman arrogate to herself the authority of an administrator in chief and determiner in chief of what is in the best of and for Nigerians. 

What happened to the sanctity of Nigeria's internal affairs matter not being subject to any foreign interference and meddling? Can she dare utter such petulance in other more meaningful countries with serious leaders? Can she even tell Scottish people such arrant nonsense over their continuing restiveness in their association in United Kingdom. Why has her diplomatic immunity not been revoked and have her expelled from Nigeria, deported back to her own country. What manner of clueless and linguine spine leaders are managing the affairs of Nigeria that still allowed this woman to remain in Nigeria following her latest utterances including  that it is 2023 or nothing at all. ICHEOKU says really? 

It must be sad to be a Nigerian and sadder that this woman is still in Nigeria as the United Kingdom's High Commissioner after what she said. It is even wrong that she is traveling through Nigeria meeting with governors, chiefs and other leaders of thought when her diplomatic privilege only allows her to interact with the Federal government on diplomatic level only land not mix and mingle with States and other local and domestic authorities. Why is she allowed to conduct internal activities which are not within her designation as her country's representative in Nigeria, only liaising between Aso Rock and 10 Downing Street. She certainly crossed the line and should have since been deported or at least censured by the Nigerian government for meddling in its domestic internal affairs matters. #CallCatrionaLangToOrder. 

WHY ONLY ISRAEL, HOW ABOUT OTHERS?

ICHEOKU says why is it only Israel that is being strong armed to accept a two States solution in its dispute with Palestine. How about China and Taiwan; Nigeria and Biafra; Spain and Catalonia; Morocco and Western Polisario; and of course other indigenous peoples of this world who are tired of being marginalized and oppressed by their central government and seeking their freedom through separation. 

It does not make sense that Israel is the only one being specifically pigeonholed into forcibly accepting a two States situation which will eventually prove detrimental to them. Two States is not a "solution", rather it is a clear and present danger which will morph into an existential threat to Israel later on. A fully independent West Bank with an Iranian embassy in East Jerusalem will make the dream of Tehran of annihilating Israel a speedy fait accompli. So, it will not be in this life and not as long as there remains an Israel government which loves the Jewishness of Israel that Jerusalem will be divided. #StandFirmlyWithIsrael.

KING SOLOMON WAS WISE.

Were King Solomon an American president the child would have died as he would have divided him between the two women just to be "fair". Some problems require absolutism and a strong, unshakeable will to solve. The Jerusalem question is one such a problem. Enough of the wishy washy American policy over Jerusalem. It is about time America solve the problem or get out of the way for Israel to solve it. America should stop hindering Israel's initiative by its undue pressure on Israel each time the world erupts with their feverish hysteria that Palestinians are being victimized. #StandWithIsrael.

REBUILDING GAZA IS A BAD IDEA: END AMERICA'S STRADDLING THE FENCE MIDDLE-EAST POLICY NOW.

ICHEOKU says America must decide whose side to be on and abandon the ongoing attempt to play nice to the two parties who have been at each other's neck for thousands of years. It is either Israel is good or Palestine is good; but the two cannot be both good at the same time while still fighting for the same issue which remains unresolved till today and will not be resolved tomorrow nor will it be resolved the day after tomorrow. It is this cuddling that emboldens both parties as they are convinced that their respective position is right and thereby making it impossible for them to yield grounds towards reaching an amicable final settlement. Therefore America must courageously abandon its cuddling of both sides and take a firm stand like King Solomon and cast its lot with one of the parties. That way, the forsaken party will realize that the game is up and suck it up and move one. 

But as long as America continues to play the mister nice guy to both Israel and Palestine, that long will the dispute over Jerusalem remain unresolved and intractable. Now, America is thinking about rebuilding Gaza Strip which was destroyed through the instigation of Hamas, a terrorist organization which even America recognized as one. This is cuddling Hamas as a rebuilt Gaza Strip will only make them stronger and provide them with additional propaganda tool with which to maintain their stranglehold over the Gaza Strip. Hamas will have a strong talking point that they forced the Americans to rebuild their territory which they also forced Israel to destroy, hence a win, win situation. Hamas can only get stronger going forward with such a lofty win where they ate their cake and still had it.  

But imagine a Gaza Strip that is left as is, in the ruins which they found themselves courtesy of Hamas intransigency and the suffering in the Strip exacerbates to such an unbearably stratospheric level that the people of Gaza cannot take it any more and are forced to rebel against Hamas leadership, forcing them to vote Hamas out of office or at least quit supporting them, aware that tying their destiny to Hamas is not in good beneficial decision. The people of Gaza ought to be made to feel the heat to help wake up their conscientiousness to realize that Hamas is only brining them more harm than good and that as long as they stay the course, their fortunes can only dwindle but will never increase. Their case calls for the hard lesson of the carrot and the stick, squeeze them until they dump Hamas and then reward them abundantly. 

ICHEOKU says there is only one solution to the Jewish/Arab problem in the MiddleEast. It is to allow the stronger side to achieve victory over the weaker side, case closed. King Solomon did a similar thing with the two women and it turned out that his judgement was the wise decision as it solved the question which mother owns the child. America must ignore the pressure of the world bankrolled by the Arabs and adapt a King Solomon's attitude to the problem and let the rightful side win by declaring Jerusalem as Israel's or Palestine's. This is the only long term solution to the problem as two people cannot in actuality own the ancient city of Jerusalem and only a wrongful claimant would want the city to be divided just like the rogue mother in King Solomon's case. 

Israel and Palestine already have their separate territories called Israel and The West Bank and Gaza Strip. The only outstanding issue is the control of Jerusalem and the manner the control will be exacted. That is what all the hollering about a two States solution is and any attempt to divide Jerusalem will only compound the problem more. Jerusalem is not divisible in the real sense of it and Jerusalem cannot be functionally divided. America should take a firm stand and adopt this absolute position now or just let the matter lie as it has laid for many centuries. But it must not in the process of craving acceptance by both parties, worsen the situation any further. 

What is the use anyway of rebuilding Gaza Strip and also replenishing Israel's bombs with which they will sooner than later summarily destroy the same newly rebuilt Gaza once again. Appeasement diplomacy never works. It is a wishy washy, knee jerk, indecisiveness and it encourages obstinacy. In the alternative, a commitment should first be extracted from Hamas to be of good behavior and not to provoke another conflict that will lead to another destructive retaliation by Israel. A sort of an insurance policy to guarantee that the effort expended in rebuilding Gaza will not be in vain, otherwise as soon as they fire their rockets into Israel, those Israeli F-35 bombers will become airborne to deliver their payloads that will once again flatten down buildings and weaken foundations. 

Also, a hastened resolution of the enduring conflict should be explored first before the rebuilding of Gaza Strip to ensure that a newly rebuilt Gaza will equally endure. But hey, who is going to rebuild Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan or are those destructions not good enough to receive the same planned Gaza makeover treatment. Those fellas in those similarly destroyed countries will treasure the opportunity to have their own homes, buildings and other structures also restored to their glorious architectural statues-quo ante invasions. The America's politics of different treatment for different people need to stop as what is good for Palestinians is also good for Libyans, Iraqis, Afghanis and Syrians. Rebuild them all or don't rebuild any of them. Anyway, ICHEOKU is laser-focused on the conflict and will continue to revisit the issue as developments therein unfold. #Don'tRebuildGaza.

TIME FOR AMERICA TO TAKE A DEFINITE STAND IS NOW.

ICHEOKU says it does not make sense that on one hand America will be replenishing Israel's Iron Dome batteries and missiles, bunker and tunnel busting bombs, missiles and other weapons of warfare; and on the other hand the same America will be rebuilding a destroyed Gaza Strip that will eventually be destroyed again in another conflict which the same Hamas will also provoke as soon as they have restocked their spent rockets. It is needless fence sitting appeasement and pandering to world opinion and it is a very difficult proposition to effectively carry through to fruition. It is akin to pleasing two masters at the same time, a factual impossibility. 

So, it is either America stands strongly with Israel and damn world opinion or they should set Israel free and allow Israel to solve the Palestine continuing nuisance. But this vainglorious attempt to please Israel and pacify Palestine is simply wishy washy and smacks of lack of decisiveness and firmness of a steely resolve. If it was Iran that is holding such enormous power as the United States of America, it would have since resolved the MiddleEast problem in favor of Palestine and damn the consequences, to hell with world opinion. It is the right thing to do and it is about time the right thing is done. America should make a good bequeath to a friend Israel and damn the hollering macaques and macaws. #StandWithIsrael.

WOKE JOHN CENA APOLOGIZES TO CHINA FOR REFERRING TO TAIWAN AS A COUNTRY.

ICHEOKU says it is Hollywood-sque and in the manner of NBA and other wokeist liberals of America who always deride America with their pretense macho image of fighters for a better America, but readily grovel at the feet of China at the slightest hint of the Chinese Communist Party disapproval of their action or utterance, afraid that China will cancel them. So, it is not surprising to see the former WWE star, John Cena, now on bended knees pleading with the Chinese Communist Party to please pardon him for "mistakenly" referring to Taiwan as a country. 

In rendering his apology, John Cena used Chinese Mandarin to show how deeply servile he could go to ensure that his Chinese masters understand exactly how really contrite he was about the initial truth he spoke about but which he was forced to recant because of deference to China.  But the Chinese people are now demanding that in addition to his apology, that John Cena also acknowledge that Taiwan is part of China, otherwise his apology is not accepted. In his words of apology, John Cena said: "I made a mistake, now I have to say one thing which is very, very, very important, I love and respect China and Chinese people. I am very sorry for my mistakes, sorry, sorry, I am really sorry. You have to understand that I love and respect China and Chinese people." 

ICHEOKU says John Cena now joins the likes of LeBron James, Mercedes Benz, Marriott Hotels, Versace, Givenchy, Coach, Gap and many Hollywood movie studios as American pretenders of fighters for social justice and equity who morphed into apologists of China and "solemnly" asked for mercy and forgiveness of the Chinese Communist Party for something which they once did or said that the Chinese Communist Party felt was offensive to them and their way and manner of conducting their internal affairs business. 

ICHEOKU says where was John Cena's conviction or is his macho image merely a stage act facade and not deeply rooted in who he really is. Does he not believe in a similar two States solution for the Taiwanese people as many of his colleagues seek for Israel and Palestine or is it only Israel that is being strong-armed to accept a two State solution in regard to the Palestine but not China. Where was his celebrity voice weighing in on behalf of the weaker Taiwan or the mass detention of Chinese Uigher population in Xinjiang or in support of the democracy protest in Hong Kong. Why does money always trump every other thing else for these Hollywood pretenders, who frequently theorize about inequities in America but turn blind eyes in matters which should attract greater opprobrium in China. 

It is simply a hypocrisy of shameless proportion and these Hollywood fixtures should be ashamed of themselves or at least stop pretending to care about human rights issues everywhere, including in America. It is unfortunate that these people are so selective with their activism about social justice and equity and only show their "bravado" when it comes to America.  If they are seriously woke about what they do in condemnation of America, why do they not make it a one cap fits all by also similarly condemning every other country including China wherever such inhumanity rears its head. It is sad.

Anyway, hopefully the Chinese Communist Party will accept his apology, forgive him and allow his new movie, Fast & Furious 9 to still be shown in their vast country. That way he and his team will still continue to smile to the banks while millions of Chinese Uigher continue to languish under untenable living conditions and of course, the fate of Taiwan still remains indeterminate and in limbo. When some day China eventually sends a flotilla of invading armada across the strait of Taiwan, John Cena will be popping bottles of his choice champagne celebrating with the Chinese Communist Party for their unification victory over Taiwan. It is exactly what is meant by money is not only everything, but it is the only thing and Hollywood is unquestionably addicted to loads of it and it influences their conscience. John Cena is now a certified Hollywood wokeist pinhead.
