PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SUPPORT OF TWITTER BAN IN NIGERIA: RASH AND HARSH.

ICHEOKU says President Donald John Trump just lost a lot of supporters with his endorsement of a very unpopular anti people's ban of Twitter in Nigeria. It shows that the president is ill advised and ill informed and often times does not necessary first do his homework very well before reacting on issues. What in the hell was he thinking when he made this pronouncement, regardless of how he feels personally about Twitter and for a good reason. How can the many Nigerian people who empathized with him and have been boycotting Twitter since he was banned by Twitter in solidarity with him, now feel, finding out that the president selfishly cares only about himself and not for what is good for other people. If he was not banned by Twitter, will his opinion on the ban of Twitter in Nigeria have been the same or would he not have said that it was a vagrant abuse and a censorship of the rights of Nigerians to freely use social media unimpeded. 

What is wrong with him or must he completely alienate the rest of black people of Nigerian decent who still supports him. It was the same Nigerian government of Muhammadu Buhari which slaughtered over two hundred and fifty Nigerians who were celebrating Trump's triumph over Hillary Clinton and his election as president in 2016. Their death sentence offense was simply because the Nigerian government had wanted Hilary Clinton to win and had donated heavily to the Hillary Clinton's campaign using all manners of proxy contributors including the Chaugori Lebanese Nigerian family. The Nigerian government also gave as one of their reason that Trump was an anti Muslims Christian fundamentalist who will not tolerate the Muslim Fulani quest for total and complete domination in Nigeria. 

It was the same Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari who allowed his Fulani ethnic group to continue their wanton slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, burning of churches and destruction of Christians properties which has so far claimed more than ten thousands lives in Nigeria as well as billions of Naira in lost properties. When Muhammadu Buhari was confronted by the same President Trump, he lied that it was just mere farmer and herder crisis and the Trump's government believed him without fully   investigating the wantonness and arbitrariness of the Buhari government in Nigeria. It was the same Nigerian Buhari government which forcefully dispersed joyful Nigerians who took to the street in Lagos to celebrate Trump's victory in 2016. Needless to add that Aso Rock celebrated on November 3rd 2020 and January 20th, 2021 when President Trump was finally shoved out of the White House. 

So this support for a very unpopular action by a man who hates President Donald John Trump shows a gross irrationality as majority of Twitter savvy Nigerians from Christian Southern Nigeria loves President Donald John Trump dearly as opposed to their Northern Islamic section, including thousands of them in the United States of America who constitute a large portion of blacks who voted for President Trump both in 2016 and 2020. ICHEOKU says will not mince words in condemning what the MAGA leader did by this endorsement of such a violative act of depriving millions of Nigerians access to Twitter. It conveys the message that the president is in it just for what is good for him alone and inconsiderate of other people, including millions of his Nigerian supporters. The expressed support for the Twitter ban in Nigeria was wrong and ill conceived of the president and therefore condemnable. 

So because Mark Zuckerberg was dinning with him, he did not ban Facebook assuming he could since the court would have reversed him anyway. So how about Twitter, why did he not ban them or was Mr Rasputin Jack Dorsey also being dinned at the White House secretly without our knowing about it. How about the millions of other people who use Twitter or should they, as far as Trump is concerned, be collectively punished just because the president is currently a persona non grata on the platform. It smacks of selfishness and at this rate, the president is bleeding his supporters and with it, their votes should he ever nurse an ambition of a second coming in the White House. Such utterances and active support for a maniacal Islamist fundamentalist dictator in Nigeria will work against the ambition. 

President Trump offended millions of people, the so many different nationalities battling for survival in Nigeria under the anvil and hammer of the Fulani government of Muhammadu Buhari. He has thus alienated them by this openly expressed support for their nemesis who cut them off from the world of Tweeting and they have thousands of fellow country men in the United States of America who vote in elections. It is a big disappointment that the President Donald John Trump who they love so much could be this callous over a matter which affects them severely. Nigerians could use an apology from President Donald John Trump for being anti Nigerians and siding with a dictator disguised as a democrat. A peoples president for Americans now turned anti people's personality for Nigerians or is it because Nigeria is a shitholey country and President Trump does not give a damn. It is sad.

INDIA MAN MARRIES SISTER OF DEAD BRIDE: WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH HIM?

ICHEOKU says an Indian man in Uttar Pradesh whose bride died during their marriage ceremony soon after placing a customary garland of flowers on his neck, immediately took her younger sister and wedded her right there. The bride had suffered a cardiac arrest, then slumped and died. But instead of suspending or even canceling the wedding all together due to the shocking sad loss or first evacuating her body to a mortuary, they simply put her body in one room and the dead bride's younger sister was called upon as a substitute bride and the wedding continued. If Indian people have done anything so outrageous before that dumbfounded the world, this one incident definitely tops them all. 

The groom who was supposed to be in utter shock and grieving, immediately married the dead bride's younger sister while her dead body was still sprawled out cold in an adjacent room from the wedding area. How dare this guy do such a heartless thing to a lady who he once professed love for and who was performing marital rites to him when she suddenly collapsed and died. What manner of a monster would do such a thing, not care about his beloved bride who suddenly collapsed and died on their wedding day at their wedding alter. Yet, he had the temerity to summarily take the dead bride's younger sister and wedded her right there on the same spot where her big sister, his former bride, had just died a few moments ago. There was no grieving and there was no hurt feeling by this fella that his bride had just died. How could somebody be this cold hearted. What is really going on in that land of Hindustan. 

ICHEOKU says is still in shock that marriage could be treated so cavalierly in that Modi's country. It is sad that women have not been fully liberated in India that they still suffer such disposable status and servile treatment that a ceremony is preferred to their life as human beings. So, it is all about the ceremony and not the marital union of two persons who fell in love with one another that matters to these people. Why are women in India still regarded as mere commodities that are disposable that they have no real value for the men of India. But must every woman in India marry for crying out loud? Why should they when their lives do not matter to the men who accept their dowries. This guy should be arrested because if he could be this mean to his dead bride, it is possible too that he might have done something sinister that caused the death of the bride. What a despicable heartless monster he is. Shame on him. 

NORTHERN ELDERS FORUM URGES BUHARI TO LET NDIGBO GO.

ICHEOKU says Nigeria's Northern Elders Forum has advised Muhammadu Buhari not to impede the Igbo people of Nigeria from seeking their own independent homeland. They arrived at this decision following an emergency summit which they held to address the intractable security challenges facing Nigeria. The group issued a statement through its spokesman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed as follows:- 

"The Forum has arrived at the difficult conclusion that if support for secession among the Igbo is as widely spread as it is being made to look, and Igbo leadership appears to be in support of it, then the country should be advised not to stand in their way. It will not be the best choice for the Igbo or any other Nigerians to leave a country which we have all toiled to build and to which we all have responsibility to fix. But it will not help a country already burdened with failures and on currently on its knees, to fight another war in an attempt to keep the Igbo people in Nigeria.” - Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, Spokesman, Northern Elders Forum.

But responding to the advise, the government of Muhammadu Buhari rejected the advise calling the organization irrelevant and its opinion on matters of Nigeria, a non issue. According to the government, Northern Elders Forum boasts of no credible membership and its leader Ango Abdullahi is a mere general without troops. The government also added that the group is waving a flag at half mast. It is also instructive that this is the second Northern group that has urged Muhammadu Buhari to avoid getting into another civil war which Nigeria cannot afford now. A group of Northern Women Association have previously made their position quite clear that Muhammadu Buhari should allow Biafra to secede peacefully and not plunge Nigeria into another civil war.

ICHEOKU says although some wise words from a group of wise men with old age bequeathed wisdom, but will Muhammadu Buhari listen? It is apparent that Muhammadu Buhari has become deafened by the wickedness of his heart and like the Pharaoh of Egypt, does not listen to anymore any more and will not let the Igbo people go. Possibly, he is waiting until something very devastating happens to Nigeria, such as will make him beg for mercy before he will act responsibly by doing the needful. Marriages do collapse irretrievably and the clobbered nations of Nigeria are no longer comfortable staying the course as one entity. As with divorce, devolution is the best option now for Nigeria in order to avoid an assured coming bloody conflict to forcibly achieve the same outcome which a peaceful division would have ordinarily accomplished. 

The other troubling issue is the indifference of the United Nations Organizations and other major world powers to the unfolding tragic situation in Nigeria. They are pretending as if the dark cloud gathering over Nigeria has not accumulated enough to prod them into action. It is also possible that they are waiting for the real shooting conflict to assume a hellish proportion and then make as much money as they could make through weapons and logistics supplies before intervening. But they could easily step in now and solve the problem facing Nigeria now that it will cost less both in human and material resources and in so doing prevent an impending conflagration and the worse refugee crisis the world will ever know should push come to shove. #NigeriaFacingExistentialCrisis. 

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE IS A RIGHT: USE IT AGAINST THE TWITTER BAN NIGERIANS.

ICHEOKU says Nigerians are constantly behaving as if they are still yoked under a military regime, oblivious that there is a democracy and that citizens do not bow and tremble to the dictates of leadership in a democracy. There is something called civil disobedience which citizens in a democracy use as a matter of right to refuse obedience to arbitrary orders of the government. The recent Twitter ban by the Nigerian government is one such arbitrary order which Nigerians should disobey and defy by continuing to tweet however possible. 

But so many decades of military rule in Nigeria has foist the never lifting cloud of palpable fear on Nigerians' psyche that they are   always subconsciously thinking that the government has unquestionable control over their lives. Nigeria is a country of 220 million of people with a permanently damaged psyche and the government is using this general disability to their greatest advantage, commanding obedience as if it is a given right and the people sheepishly obey them. It is sad. 

THE FRENCH DIRTY SLAP: A FAILURE OF PRESIDENTIAL SECURITY.

ICHEOKU says it was an unpardonable failure of a presidential security that French President Emmanuel Macron was held and slapped by a bystander, without a timely reaction by his security details. What if the guy who held and slapped the president had a knife or any other weapon. Although such was not easily expected, but a presidential security details should anticipate every possibilities whatsoever which could endanger a president and should have guarded against it. Throwing something like an egg from a distance is understandable, but to hold and then slap a president, crosses the boundary of tolerable behavior and it must not be excused.

It was an unfortunate incident which calls for a total overhaul of the French presidential security detail and of course, whoever leads it should resign his appointment or be fired for such an egregious failure. It does not matter what excuse might be given because no excuse is acceptable, heads ought to and should role. The slap was on all the entire French people as well as on every world leader and should not be tolerated nor excused or pardoned. Imagine slapping someone like Nigeria's Muhammadu Buhari and what it would have meant for the person who slapped him. It might have resulted in the wiping out the guy, his family as well as his extended family, admitted the Nigerian president deserves more just a resounding slap. Some other country like North Korea would have fed the guy alive to a bunch of famished wild dogs for dinner. It is sad. 

KAMALA HARRIS TELLS IMMIGRANTS DO NOT COME: AN EPIPHANY AT LAST.

'I want to be clear to folks in the whole Latin American region who are thinking about making the perilous journey, trekking up North to the United States of America and Mexico border, do not come, do not come. If you come to our border, you will be turned back and sent back to where you come from. There are legal methods by which migration can and should occur. We discourage illegal migration. The United States will continue to enforce our immigration laws and also secure our border.' - Kamala Harris.

Reacting to the development, the fiery New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez angrily responded that it is disappointing to see. She claimed that seeking asylum at the border is 100% legal and that American should be held responsible for the malaise in Latin American countries because America contributed to so many regime changes and destabilization that wrecked the region. She analogized it to setting someone's house on fire and then blaming them for fleeing from the inferno. She concluded by saying that it will be helpful if America acknowledged its contribution to destabilizing the region. 

ICHEOKU says it is always better late than never; so it is good that Kamala Harris finally got it and now sees the genius in President Donald John Trump that illegal immigration is a wrecking ball which should not be allowed to swing uncontrollably because it will crush everything on its part. As President Donald John Trump has always rightly maintained, legal immigration is good but illegal immigration is bad. Now that both sides of the immigration divide have finally come to a meeting point, through this mutual understanding, it will be much easier to solve the lingering immigration problem. 

Although it is most likely that it was only her lips that mouthed the "do not come" and that her heart still remains resolute on her known stance for a total and complete border elimination. But it does not matter; what is imperative is that the man on top ordered her what to say and she complied and did exactly as was told. She had no choice about it. May be in the future if Joe Biden steps aside due to frailty and mental incapacity, she can reinstate her position; but at present, she can only execute and implement as she is told. ICHEOKU says is glad that she did not stammer nor mince words in delivering the message as instructed. She was succinctly heard as there was no other connotation that could be read into it. Now, let real immigration reform commence and with all the seriousness which it deserves. #DoNotCome.

NIGERIA SHOWS HOW TO HANDLE BIG TECH TYRANNY - NEBOJSA MALIC

Nigeria is a far more serious and “based” country than the US, at least if President Muhammadu Buhari’s response to Twitter censorship, compared to that of Donald Trump’s, is anything to go by.

The government in Abuja announced on Friday it had “indefinitely suspended” the US-based platform, following Twitter’s censorship of Buhari. The move was made because of “the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence,” said Information Minister Lai Mohammed. 

Nigeria’s TV and press regulator, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), will also start the process of “licensing” all social media platforms in the country, the government said. In a twist of irony, the decision was announced on Twitter. Also, the ban doesn’t appear to have gone into effect just yet, and Nigerians are reportedly flocking to virtual private networks to circumvent it.

The Nigerian government also missed an easy opportunity to clobber Twitter with its own wokeness cudgel and accuse CEO Jack Dorsey of being racist and Islamophobic – considering Buhari is both African and Muslim.

All that aside, however, Abuja’s response stands in stark contrast to that of official Washington from a year ago, when Twitter censored then-US President Donald Trump – and then the White House account, citing the same pretext of “glorifying violence” or “threatening harm” to individuals or groups. Trump responded by signing an executive order intended to crack down on social media censorship and nothing happened.

The career bureaucrats in DC simply ignored the president’s orders and stood by while Twitter, Facebook and YouTube helped ‘fortify’ the 2020 elections in favor of Democrat Joe Biden, who revoked Trump’s order last month, without bothering to offer an explanation. 

Trump’s toothless response to censorship eventually led to Twitter banning his account after the January 6 Capitol riot – while he was still the sitting president – and the other Big Tech platforms following suit. Not only is he banned from having an account, but others interviewing him will get censored for daring to broadcast his “voice.” 

Yet most of the US media and civil libertarian groups see nothing wrong with this, and are even arguing that such censorship, using corporations as proxies for the government, isn’t violating the First Amendment. 

By contrast, it took Nigeria two days to respond to Twitter’s censorship of its president with a ban on the platform. It may only amount to a symbolic gesture, but it sends a clear message to San Francisco that this kind of behavior by Big Tech will not be tolerated.

Buhari’s critics have argued that the ban is “not in keeping with democracy, the rule of law, and the independence of the media.” But Twitter’s censorship is? Who’s in charge here, an elected government of a sovereign country, or a corporation on the other side of the world? That’s really the question here.

Because the American civil war ended in 1865, and long passed out of living memory, Biden may be able to get away with pseudo-historical narratives comparing the Capitol riot to it. Nigeria’s civil war against the Biafran separatists ended in 1970, and claimed more lives. So when Buhari warns those currently “misbehaving” that its veterans will treat them “in the language they understand,” that is indeed a threat – to separatists

When it censored Trump on the same grounds a year ago, Twitter had posted messages in support of Black Lives Matter, making its politics abundantly clear. The Nigerian government looked at the company banning Buhari but not the current Biafran leader, and concluded that Twitter supported separatists. No government can tolerate that and survive for long, any more than having corporations dictate the terms of their politics – as Trump’s own experience clearly showed. 

FLOYD MAYWEATHER AND LOGAN PAUL FIGHT: NOT BUYING THE DRAW GIMMICKRY.

ICHEOKU says did anyone buy the snake oil which was sold to the world by the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul which ended in a draw. ICHEOKU says does not know about you but it is hard to believe that with all the experiences of world champion Floyd Mayweather that Logan Paul could last through the eight rounds and come out even. 

Anyway, it was a money tree shaking event for them and we will wait to see how much it grossed. But as far as Floyd Mayweather was concerned, he had fun boxing Logan Paul and was surprised that Logan Paul was as good as he was, a tough and rough competitor. ICHEOKU wishes both of them well and hope that public outcry of them possibly fixing the fight, will force a rematch where a decisive winner will emerge. It is a hard sell and very difficult to believe that Floyd Mayweather who demolished the Irish bad boy Conor McGregor during their encounter did not and could not put away Logan Paul very much early in the fight. But hey,..

IF ONLY CHINA COULD BAN KNIVES: MANY CHINESE LIVES WILL BE SAVED?

ICHEOKU says speaking of "the readily availability of guns in America" as the cause of mass murders in the United States of America, as some anti second amendment agitators adduce and would like us to believe in their quest to ban guns in America. To them, but for guns, people will not be killing other people in America and you wonder whether China and the United Kingdom should also ban knives, since that is the weapon of choice for their own mass killers. 

So, should China ban knives since Chinese killers now repeatedly deploy them in inflicting maximum damage in their own mass casualty killings. Just a few days ago, an unemployed and angry 25 year old Chinese man wielding a knife murdered 6 Chinese people in the Eastern Chinese city of Anqing in Anhui Province, 270 miles west of Shanghai. Before this, were more than 20 other knives and various sharp instruments weapons, including meat cleaver, that has been used by Chinese killers in killing their Chinese victims. 

Now, please tell ICHEOKU whether knives should be banned in China just because some demented Chinese people use knives in perpetrating their hideous acts. If they ban knives, how then does their society continue to thrive and carry on; and if you ban guns in America, how does American hunters continue to harvest games and provide meat on dinner tables. Then add those who hunt for trophy. Also, when an armed intruder invades your home, what do you do or just lay there supine at his mercy and hope that his better angels will take control and that he will not cause you any harm, instead of fighting back, fire for fire.

ICHEOKU says should we forward this "recommendation" to Xi Jinping as a way to curb or even completely wipe out mass killings in China, because as those American nut jobs would say, just get rid of the guns and the killings will end. But they forgot that people who are bent on doing other people harm and hurt, will always find other even more creative means to effectuate their dark desires. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this debate as this piece is meant to demonstrate that weapons do not kill people, people do. If you ban guns or as in this case, if President Xi Jinping bans knives in China, those Chinese killers will still find another ways to take Chinese peoples lives. May God protect his own IJN. 

TRUMP'S FACEBOOK TWO YEAR BAN: NOT SURPRISING AS IT WAS PREDICTABLE.

ICHEOKU says had predicted as much and it turned out as much that they want President Donald John Trump permanently silenced and completely shut out from social media sphere. Every other thing they have done since last January 6th and even during the period preceding it, were all geared towards mission accomplishing this their objective and not that any other outcome would have resulted. 

President Donald John Trump was a skillful master of social media and he aptly deployed it to his maximum political advantage and benefit; and to the detriment of his detractors. They were humiliated by the feat which he pulled off beating them to their game using their self acclaimed social media. Incensed that he out maneuvered them on their own social media space, they sought a pound of flesh to even the score. They figured that the best way to drive a maximum vengeance is to neuter him by killing off his presence on social media and they struck. 

First they accused him of instigating the January 6th 2021 Capitol melee through the speech which he delivered at the Save America Rally. But following mountains of evidence to the contrary which showed that the speech did not contain any inciting words and that the riot was planned ahead of the January 6th speech, they decided to expand their liability dragnet to include any action or speech which the president ever took or made which has any connotation whatsoever of incitement or which could be interpreted as such, regardless of the subjectiveness of the interpreter. Of course one can always find something to hang on someone once the searching is generally over-broad and with bad intentions.

But their initial suspension of the president, as they claimed, was because the president "incited" the crowd with his January 6th speech. The premise fell flat as it was non existent but rather than lift the suspension, apologize to the president and reinstate his privileges on their social media platform, they decided to appoint their handpicked speech police committee to review the matter. The committee came back a few months later, deadlocked, unable to reach a decision on the president's continued suspension because the suspension had no basis both in law and in fact.  They punted the matter back to Mark Zuckerberg to make the final decision on whether or not to reinstate the president's privileges on his Facebook. It was just like the biblical Pontus Pilate washing off his hand on the Jesus matter and turning it back to the Jews.

That was on May 5th and now one month later, instead of Mark Zuckerberg being honorable enough by doing the right thing, which is to restore the president's access to Facebook, he decided to punish the president further by extending his suspension from the platform until the end of 2022. A case of punishing somebody for no other reason but personal animosity, sheer vindictiveness and crass vendetta. Mark Zuckerberg definitely had the 2022 mid term election in his mind as he made the decision to keep the president off Facebook until after the election. He does not want President Donald John Trump's mega MAGA presence back on social media because it will be too consequential in the mid term election. But Mark Zuckerberg is wasting his time because with or without his Facebook, the 2022 mid term election will swing in a way that will be very pleasing to real patriotic conservative Americans. 

ICHEOKU says it is not because of what the president did that he is facing the general black outs on social media. No, it is because of what he will do in the future, a futuristic "crime" which he will commit against liberals by preventing their attempted makeover of America in their utopian image which make America unrecognizable. They are punishing him now ahead of time in order to prevent him from committing the anticipated crime against acute liberal wokeism. They are afraid that he will completely annihilate leftist nut jobs woke liberals' thinking in America, to which most of social media platforms' operators, owners and employees belong. They are afraid of him because they are incapable of mounting an effective challenge to him and they cannot withstand the heat of his opposition, so they have to go the cowardly way by proactively silencing him. This is the truth of the matter, the reason for the decision; the gist of  what happened and any other attempt at explaining otherwise is mere balderdash. 

ICHEOKU says the president must now do the right thing by walking away from all social media and never look back and never come back even when his suspension expires. This is imperative so that the president will laugh last and not be twice humiliated because in the unfortunate event the president, foolishly and stupidly, take Facebook up on its two year suspension and later rejoins the platform on January 2023, they will still find something else to ban him for, soon following his first post. So, a smart President Donald John Trump should use this opportunity to courageously walk away for good and put social media permanently behind him and never return. He should henceforth treat social media as a dead, non existent and non important serious life issue. He should understand that so many people have been living their lives without dabbling into social media and being absence has not killed them all off. 

In the interim, the president should continue to explore other ways to continue putting out his messages across to his millions of supporters, fans and followers. He should also explore the possibility of establishing a Trump Television Station, a Trump Radio and a Trump Social Media platform. He has already cultivated a large audience worldwide, 73 million of them in America, and with a good management team and staff, any outfit which he decides to float will have a resounding success. Enough of the beggarly disposition towards social media as if his life is dependent on it because it doesn't. Enough also of arrogating too much powers to Mack Zuckerberg and his fellow co-travelers of social media power train, linguine spin mongrels who now see themselves as Demi gods who must be genuflected for and whose toes and rings must first be kissed before they can admit someone into their social media temple. 

It is not worth such stooping so low to these inferiority complexed individuals who are wielding powers which they ordinarily never dreamt was possible, in a rather very obnoxious manner. So many people on this planet earth, more than 75% of the world population, don't even care enough about these platforms to be participants and.or allow themselves to be held hostage and in bondage of first seeking the approval, goodwill, mercy and forgiveness of Mack Zuckerberg and co in order to be approved to come on board. Even a well managed and run Trump Website will do the magic better than these platforms who nobody goes to because of their founders, people who should otherwise be grateful that people like President Donald John Trump was an invaluable asset to them and made their meteoric growth possible. Trump is a world wide established name and a phenom which does not require much introduction nor publicity for his platform to succeed. 

But whatever happens, President Donald John Trump should abandon his hope of ever being welcomed back on these liberals owned and controlled social media platforms because their owners and operators are beholden to so many anti Trump powerful forces and very influential blocs such as Barack Obama, Black Lives Matter as well as the homosexuals community of America. These people's hatred for President Donald John Trump is acidic and they will do whatever it takes as is within their powers, including the threat of boycotting Facebook to ensure that Mark Zuckerberg never reconsiders his decision to allow Trump back on the platform and will eventually force him to permanently ban the president from Facebook. It was exactly the route Mr Rasputin Jack Dorsey traveled before eventually permanently banning the president from his Twitter.

President Donald John Trump was somebody before the advent of social media. He is still somebody now that they have frozen him out of their platforms and he will always remain somebody whether or not he is ever allowed back on social media. Nigeria's Muhammadu Buhari has just banned Twitter from operating in his country, which shows that social media is not all that indispensable and it shows that people can still live their life without being on social media. President Donald John Trump should understand this incontrovertible fact, that there is  life outside social media and then use the knowledge to deal with his latest Facebook ordeal. The president should accept his fate with the equanimity of a warrior, suck it up and move on; never look back nor ever return at the expiration of their ban. He should let go of Facebook and treat it as if it never existed. 

MAGA nation will understand and any forum which he eventually establishes or chooses to stay in contact with them, they will gladly oblige him by surging over there to stay connected with him. So, enough of the whining about and hyperventilating that social media treatment was unfair to him because he should have expected nothing less. The surprise would have been if they had allowed him back on to continue to carry on freely on their platforms. But they hate him with such a venomous angst that nothing will make them to ever love him enough to forgive him and allow him back on their platforms. It will not happen, not in this life and not as long as Barack Obama is alive, pulling all the counter strings to keep President Donald John Trump out and in the cold doldrum of social media dog house. So, it time definite for the president to move on and let go. #TimeToWalkAwayMrPresident.

DID COVID-19 KILL T B JOSHUA OF THE SYNAGOGUE, CHURCH OF ALL NATIONS?

ICHEOKU says a case of the healer who could not heal himself and he was standing in the way of Biafra too, having once seen a "vision" of Biafra rising only to later recant and swore that Nigeria will never break up. Possibly he added "over his dead body" and like everyone who is opposed to Umu Chineke, he has now moved on to make way for the rising sun to take its rightful place of preeminence. The man of God was allegedly stricken with COVID-19 but delayed seeking medical attention timely because he believed that he could heal himself through prayers. 

Recall that sometime last March 2020 at the onset of the Chinese gory gift to the world that Prophet Temitope Balogun had said that the scourge will be washed way with the first rain. But his "vision" apparently was clouded by fog as several "first" rains later, the pandemic is still with mankind more than one year following his "prediction'. So, understandably, it is obvious why he hesitated to seek medical intervention believing that "prayers" and "miracle" will take care of business. It is also noteworthy that he did not see his demise coming and did not predict it.

Our condolences to his family and church, The Synagogue, Church of all Nations Nigeria. Hopefully he put his house in order and that there is a succession plan in place for his church, otherwise what happened to Jesus of Oyingbo's "church" might also befall his establishment as it might fall victim to ferocious power tussle among his senior pastors. ICHEOKU does not know if he was married and had a wife who is actively involved in the running of affairs at the synagogue who would step in and continue steering its rudder. Anyway, may the Almighty God reward him according to his stewardship and hopefully the good Lord approved of all the "abracadabra" which he performed here on earth while it lasted. Rest on Joshua.

WHY JOE BIDEN CANNOT FIRE DR FAUCI.

ICHEOKU says Joe Biden will not and cannot fire Dr Anthony Fauci because he owes the diminutive elf like doctor bigly. Without the active participation of the Dr Chipmunk in the Deep State plot to effect a change in the White House last November 3rd, 2020, there was no way in hell they could have pulled it off. But now that things are beginning to leak out in the form of stinky complicit emails, lets see for how long Joe Biden can sustain his present stand that Dr Fauci's job is safe with him. #FireTheDoctor.

I AM NOT A VIRGINIAN, I AM AN AMERICAN - PATRICK HENRY.

ICHEOKU says a beautiful speech indeed in the league of Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream" speech. Speaking of Patrick Henry's 1975 "Give me liberty or give me death" speech in Richmond during the Second Virginia Convention to discuss the Old Dominion's strategy in continuing negotiations with the British Crown. A very motivational speech indeed which eventually paved the way for America's independence in 1776 as he successfully rallied men to rise and defend their honor by freeing themselves from the shackles and manacles of their colonial British masters. 

ICHEOKU says may be Biafrans should take a page from Patrick Henry's solution for their Fulani Nigerian problem since their remonstrations and supplications have not yielded them any result all these many decades. May be their long quest for freedom calls for a bloody violent revolution just like the Patrick Henry's era Americans, since their Fulani Nigerians oppressors have proven themselves impervious to reason. As is well known, those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable. If Americans did it, why not Biafrans?

Patrick Henry was a great man, well lettered and supremely gifted with a great oratorial skill. He was a great lawyer too and later became governor of Virginia. ICHEOKU says loves the speech, now happy trails.

“I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House?

Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other.

Our petitions have been slighted, our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne…we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!

The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry.

TULSA MASSACRE: A ONCE THRIVING BLACK WALL STREET LAID TO WASTE.

ICHEOKU says it is always better late than never and therefore Joe Biden should be commended for finally acknowledging the great injustice done to black people by white people in the 1921 Tulsa massacre in Oklahoma. Over 300 black people were killed and their entire flourishing black neighborhood was burnt down by irate white mob. But the calamity took one hundred years before being acknowledged by an American government. What took America so long to do this, afterall Barack Obama was president for eight years with Joe Biden as his Vice President. Why did the acknowledgment not come much earlier? 

Joe Biden has been in Washington DC for over 50 years but he never cared about the Tulsa massacre nor considered it worthy of mention until now. Why? During his several decades as a United States of America Senator from the Great State of Delaware, when he could have brought attention to the Tulsa massacre, sponsored legislations to acknowledge the massacre, pay compensations to survivors and their descendants as well as immortalize the victims, he did nothing. Why? Joe Biden did not do anything about the massacre when it could have mattered most by showing him as a "blackist" and not a racist; but now that he is nearing his exit from this earth, he is suddenly rushing to make amends for his many years of being a racist or at least a racist apologist by going to Tulsa now to spew nonsensical platitudes about a massacre which he apparently condoned for so many decades. 

Was it because he never heard about the Tulsa massacre until now or that in his continuing pandering to the black community, he has repented and is now making amends and purging his soul of his many past sins of racism. Anyway, ICHEOKU is not here to upbraid Joe Biden for finally doing what should have been done several decades ago, but only to emphasize that he does not deserve too much accolade or credit for now finally recognizing a hundred years old massacre which he kept silent about for so many decades that he is somewhat complicit in it by  his silence. The massacre was both monstrous and atrocious; and only people who were somewhat incohoot with it and who were on the side of the perpetrators could have kept quiet about it and for this long. 

But as we commemorate the Tulsa massacre and condemn both the act and the attendant conspirators silence which lasted for this long, let us also remember other massacres throughout the world. There was the Biafran massacre of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra which was carried out by Nigerian government in concert with the British government as well as American support between 1967 to 1970. Over 7 million Biafrans perished as a result of the well orchestrated and methodically executed massacre and neither the British government nor America government or even Nigerian government have ever acknowledge the genocide nor apologized for that bloody atrocity till date. 

It is good that America finally acknowledged the Armenia genocide and it will also be good if America can also acknowledge the Biafran genocide and compel both the Nigerian government and the British government to also similarly do the same. May the souls of the people lost in Tulsa massacre continue to rest and so also the souls of 7 million Biafrans as well as other souls lost in similar manner throughout the world. Joe Biden has no clear conscience going to Tulsa now to shed a pretentious crocodile tears because he has been aware of the Tulsa massacre for so m any years but maintained a conspirator's silence about it for over fifty years. So what is the message he is trying to now give or the image he is trying to suddenly project when he did not speak all these years in condemnation of a very atrocious bloody maltreatment and mass murders of fellow Americans. 

FoxNews Tucker Carlson once said that if you cannot speak the truth when it matters, nothing else you say thereafter matters. Joe Biden had since 1973 to speak up in condemnation of the Tulsa Massacre and it would have mattered then that he spoke up, but he did not. Now, he is just an ebbing flow and nobody should really care about what he said in Tulsa because it does not matter, not any more. He was only reacting to current circumstances and not from a violated conscience which could not stand such a man's cruelty and injustice to fellow man. If what Joe Biden said at the centenary commemoration was an apology, it should not be accepted; but if it must, may be belatedly in the interest of moving on. But his long silence was not a case of where silence was golden, rather it was an atrocious and shameful complicity by default. 

On a final note, how about the government commencing payment on the much talked about issue of reparation by paying an adjusted market rate compensation for the Tulsa Massacre and destruction of what once was a thriving very affluent black neighborhood in America. But no, it was the usual mere platitudes that he took to Tulsa, believing that the same black people who forgave all his racist past last November 3rd, 2020 will also not be firm and resolute with him to demand justice for their folks that were massacred in 1921 in Tulsa Oklahoma with their prominent neighborhood completely destroyed and wiped out. It is a shame of America and it will forever live in infamy, regardless of his visit. ICHEOKU says it is about time some of these past horrible deeds are monetized to make black folks somewhat whole as all the talks cannot restitute what was taken from them. 

BIBI IS GOOD FOR ISRAEL'S SECURITY: KEEP HIM IN OFFICE.

A coalition of willing politicians, hastily and strategically clobbered together by admitting even an Arab Palestinian, just to enable them get rid of Bibi Netanyahu is not good for Israel. Should they succeed, such an Arab Palestinian inclusive government cannot in all honesty retain the appellation of a Jewish Israeli government and will be the end of the Jewish State of Israel. 

But should Israel go forth with it and allow such an aberration to berth, they will regret as Palestinians will be handed a new tool for their propaganda war. They will start calling for a complete devolution of both people into one State, which will be neither Jewish nor Palestinian since a Palestinian is part of those governing the territory anyway. If these enemies of a strong and well defended Israel have their way, the hope of keeping Israel Jewish will forever be lost and with it too, the dreamed homeland for the Jewish people which will be lost as well. 

The history of Israel is replete with such shooting of themselves on the foot as is broadly recorded in the Bible, the stories of the Golden Calf and their rejection of The Messiah Jesus Christ readily stand out. It seems that either they don't ever learn from history or they are simply too cockily Jewish to care, aware that they will always be taken care of no matter what, by the good Lord as a God's chosen people. 

Please Israel Knesset, vote to retain Israel in the tested, tried and safe hands of Bibi; say no to the charlatans who want him out of the Prime Minister's office by all means possible, including by admitting an Arab Palestine in a Jewish Israeli government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the answer to the Palestinian question and exactly what a petulant terrorist organization Hamas needs in order to be kept at bay from all their bad intentions towards Israel. #KeepIsraelJewish.

FAUCI LIED, AMERICANS DIED.

ICHEOKU says Dr Anthony Fauci leaked emails shows why Hillary Clinton refused to turn over her own 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. Imagine if Dr Fauci's few emails were this revealing, what Hillary Clinton's 33,000 deleted and bleach washed emails would have revealed. It is sad that she was allowed to get away with it.

DR ANTHONY FAUCI'S EMAILS: TOO DAMAGING, TIME TO FINALLY LET HIM GO.

ICHEOKU says America is increasingly losing its credibility before the world. There was the WMD ruse about a non existent weapons of mass destruction which Colin Powell assured the world existed under Saddam Hussein regime but which turned out not to be true. That claim led to the second Iraqi war from which the country is still reeling from and the cost to America, both in human and material as well as financial resources, was very steep. It was a global event based on some "information" which came from America's security services which the world bought into because America provided the information, only to be disappointed later. 

Now Dr Anthony Fauci's leaked emails shows that so many things were hidden from the world about the dreadful coronavirus pandemic disease which have killed millions of people world wide  and still killing people, including over six hundred thousand Americans so far. If and when eventually the detailed damage caused because of some hidden facts at the height of the coronavirus crisis come out and some of them would have been otherwise avoided, the world will have no other country to blame but America as they heavily relied on America's coronavirus tsar Dr Anthony Fauci in making their respective policy decisions tackling the coronavirus. The Fauci emails collaborates the reason why Hillary Clinton refused to release her own emails because of what they contained.

It is damaging to America's credibility and will continue to bleed America's standing in the world as a country whose words cannot be trusted, not any more. A good way to start repairing this damage is to reassure the world that America does not intentionally lie to mislead them by taking a firm action against Dr ANthony Fauci. But as long as the coronavirus "expert" continues to remain on his seat in the Joe Biden's administration as the final authority on matters of coronavirus, that long will the world believe that lying to them is an acceptable practice and it will lead to revulsion. So, Joe Biden should fire the diminutive doctor now from his position and appoint a fresh new face to continue to manage the effort. #LetFauciGO.
