FRANCES HAUGEN: A HEROINE OR A DISGRUNTLED FORMER EMPLOYEE?

ICHEOKU says if her program was not canceled and her team disbanded, would she have come out to make her allegations? For the nearly two years she worked at Facebook and for the same period of time when everything she is now complaining about were going on at Facebook, what did she do and why now? It is very unfortunate that many people keep a blind eye to things which does not directly impact or effect them directly and as long as it remains that way; but will immediately come barreling down once their interest becomes effected. Now, she is being celebrated as a "heroine" who is courageously taking on the big tech, unafraid to go up against such a titan Mark Zuckerberg and his company Facebook.

Although ICHEOKU is not holding any brief for anyone nor maintaining the position that Facebook is not doing something that will give its profitability an undue advantage and edge over the complained safety of the young and the society at large users of the platform. The issue here is whether the whistle blower is a vindictive woman who is merely reacting angrily because her position was eliminated and she no longer have the power and authority which she once had at Facebook. What is her true motive for coming out this hard at Facebook or is there any company in the world which primary motive is not to increase profitability at every other thing's expense. 

She calls herself "an advocate for public oversight of social media" but did not tell us when her advocacy started, whether at the beginning of her career in the tech industry or at the waning days of it prelude to her resignation from Facebook. In fact she actually said as much herself that she "only lost faith in Facebook's commitment to protecting users after Facebook disbanded the civic integrity team" which she was heading, following the conclusion of the 2020 presidential election. This is despite Facebook stating that the disbandment was for efficiency as it merely redistributed the duties and members of the civic team into other areas. So, if the team wasn't disbanded, would Ms Frances Haugen had come out or still be working for Facebook?

Ms Haugen also claimed that the thing she saw at Facebook "over and over again" was that there were conflicts of interest between what was good for the pubic and what was good for Facebook and that Facebook "over and over again" chose to optimize for its own interests, like making more money. So, she saw all the inimical activities going on at Facebook, it's cutthroat competitive edge to be on the top and to make as much money as they could possibly make, yet it took her this late to voice out her concerns and make her observations known to the public. Why not when she first noticed them and what took her this long?

She knew all these as way back as 2018 when she started working at Facebook that their algorithms were changed to prioritize posts with higher user engagement; and that engagements which turns out lies and anger rank off the chart. She said that Facebook knew that if they change the algorithm to make Facebook safer that people will spend less time on Facebook, that people will click less on advertisements on Facebook and that such limited interest to engage will in turn make Facebook less money. What did she do to remedy the situation immediately upon noticing it. Nothing, as she worked and profited and benefitted from Facebook without a care in the world that people are being "destroyed" by Facebook until now. 

There was nothing in her testimony or in any of the Facebook documents which she stole from the company that showed that she worked tirelessly hammering on these alleged misdeeds to force a change in the company's direction. Instead, she unlawfully and illegally copied thousands of pages of Facebook's internal documents, company's work products and internal memos, which are exclusive property of the company, yet she has not been arrested for it. 

Why is she not in jail instead of parading herself at CBS 60 Minutes or in the Congress or is what she did any different from what Wikileaks Chelsea Manning or National Security Agency contract staff Edward Snowden did, for which one of them has already done some time before being pardoned midway and the other is still a fugitive hiding in Russia.

Then she asked people not to hate Facebook because of what she revealed as that will mean that she had failed in her mission and you ask yourself what then was her ultimate goal for so doing if not to isolate Facebook and create a divide between the company and its 2.3 billion users. She wants lawmakers to take action against Facebook, regulate Facebook, in order to hit back at her former employer for the manner they treated her which forced her to resign. In other words, she was just trying to use lawmakers as her unpaid hitmen. She wants the regulation of big tech, period; the same big tech which she benefitted from handsomely, passing through their revolving doors which saw her going through many including Pinterest, Google and Yelp. 

ICHEOKU says is emphatic that social media is what it is or has become because of the far leftist liberals who control it and who are micromanaging public opinion, censoring and caging  opinions which does not meet their benchmark of liberalism and which digresses from their so called "community" set standards. So, any regulation of the social media should be directed and targeted at equalizing the playing field for every opinion, regardless of how divergent and different they might be. 

Any such regulations should strive at this and not to force Facebook to do more censoring as that will smother free speech and diminish its essence. It is true that Facebook cannot control all the contents on its platform, but Facebook can at least try not to selectively pick and choose which content to control, especially when it is conservative viewpoints. 

This dichotomy in censorship of viewpoints is the real danger of social media and not that Facebook is not doing enough to keep the platform safe. Just to add, if investors were misled, it was a purposeful acquiescence caused by failure of due diligence and greed and not as a result of anything which Facebook is doing because what Facebook is doing is to keep such investors happy with huge returns on their investments. 

Also, Mark Zuckerberg and other high level male executives of Facebook are exceptionally even lucky that no allegations of sexual abuse or of a sexual harassment nature was included, otherwise we would be talking about entirely something else. Feminist females are waging an undeclared war and they do not care the length they go to deliver knockout punches at targeted males. Mark Zuckerberg just dodged a potential #MeToo pbullet.

CORONAVIRUS DEATHS: HAS THE EFFORT TO FIND A CURE STALLED OR FAILED?

ICHEOKU says Pfizer CEO recently said that they have the capacity to supply enough vaccines for booster shots as well as whatever the amount of doses of vaccines that will be needed for the unvaccinated to get vaccinated. But he did not say anything about a continuing effort by his company to develop a real vaccine that will finally take care of business instead of the adjunct vaccines that constitute the current "doses" and "booster shots." Why can't Pfizer just develop a 'one-dose-fix-it' vaccine and be done with it. But no, they have figured out how to continue making billions from producing "multiple-shots" vaccines, hence there is no more incentive at finding a cure for the disease with a vaccine that actually works. How about retooling. 

First was that we have to rush to find a vaccine, then it became that we needed a dose of the vaccine, then a second dose of the vaccine and now they are contemplating a third dose of the vaccine. At the rate they are going, we will eventually some day be required to get a fourth dose, a fifth dose, a sixth dose and so on until it becomes a monthly vaccination. It is possible too that  a time will come when coronavirus vaccination will start competing with Apples' iPhone on which product will get the most versions and models. Since Steve Jobs died, Apple has lost its once epochal innovative edge and instead of entirely new different products, have somewhat  stagnated at just, periodically, upgrading the same old products, reformatted in various versions. How about a product that can make a blind to see or can magnetically zap our pains away? Now iPhone version 13 is about to roll out and you wonder whether we will someday see iPhone 100. Is coronavirus vaccine headed in the same direction too?

What does the series of coronavirus vaccinations upon vaccination say about the efficacy of the vaccine when similar vaccines of yore such as vaccinations for polio, measles or smallpox were all a one-shot deal. Is commercial profit the reason the coronavirus vaccination is turning into a periodic exercise which has left many people wondering what is the use of getting it anyway when it does not protect people from getting the disease and in some cases, still dying from it too. Why continue the needling and poking of their skin if they will not become immune from the disease as a result. Vaccination by its essence is to inoculate against and prevent a disease from infecting and taking root in a person or animal. But when vaccinated people end up still becoming infected, hospitalized and in some case still dying from the virus, what then is the use of getting vaccinated. 

Researchers and medical scientists need to go back to their laboratories, honker down and stay there until they find a true vaccine which will be a real panacea for the coronavirus disease, the real McCoy. The rushed out vaccines are not sufficiently working, at least, not as effectively as was anticipated and hoped for. Instead of the patchwork vaccines which now require more doses and every so often, and which is gradually getting our bodies used to it that it no longer provides the immunity expected, and making people susceptible to infection and vulnerable to the disease, effort needs to be doubled on finding a vaccine that will be an effective antidote to the coronavirus disease. The tale that the lingering infections, hospitalizations and deaths is the pandemic of the unvaccinated is not true because even fully vaccinated people are dying as well.

Enough of the focus on how many vials that could be sold and at such a humungous profit to a desperate world, scarred stiff of the coronavirus. It is time to refocus attention on finding a silver-bullet vaccine that will knock out the coronavirus for good. The government and regulators should sit on pharmaceuticals companies and make them develop a vaccine that will be truly effective against the virus without any further delay. They can do it. If they could develop the vaccines now being injected into people's arms, they can also redouble their effort and develop vaccines which will in fact be really effective against the virus. On a layman's level, this can be achieved, at least, by increasing whatever derivatives and properties in the composition of the current vaccines. The present lack of cure and total immunity is in a way hampering full vaccination as many unvaccinated people are asking what is the point anyway getting a vaccine that won't do the job. 

At this rate of booster shots, what is the guarantee that we will not eventually become permanently dependent on coronavirus vaccination for the rest of our lives. With more doses being recommended and required, we may end up getting as many doses as even a dozen at some point down the line. It might also even become a daily or weekly or monthly or yearly rendezvous with the needle. The frequent vaccinations might even alter and damage our bodies so much that we become like diabetics, requiring self-injected daily shots of the vaccine to keep us from completely unravelling. But are Americans prepared to inject themselves very so often because of the coronavirus disease. So, instead of all these repeat doses, effort should be made at finding a one dose shot that will be the mother of all vaccines that will end the coronavirus.

ICHEOKU says with the emergence of new variants and the continuing diminishment in efficacy of current vaccines, there is a need to reassess and reconfigure our thinking about the disease, to enable us redirect our energy towards finding a permanent cure. A much improved vaccine that would smother the virus for good and put everyone at rest is the answer. Too many people have already died from the disease and many more people are still dying from the disease, including those who were already fully vaccinated, who did everything they were told to do in order to stay alive but who ended up dying anyway. It has been explained away as "break through" cases, but why was the virus able to break through the shield of the vaccine? It is time this scourge finally ended and every effort should be made to see it ended. It is doable, it can be done and we can do it as Americans; but first, the pharmaceutical companies must be persuaded to do it. Say no to more coronavirus deaths. 

TRANSGENDERISM CANNOT CO-EXIST WITH FEMINISM - MATT WALSH.

As conservatives and Christians have run away terrified by the prospect of having meaningless words like transphobic tossed at them, it might ultimately be, in a strange twist of fate, the feminists who take down the "transgender" narrative. If they ever figure out that "transgenderism" is a direct assault on their entire worldview, maybe it will prompt a full fledged civil war in the progressive ranks.

After all, according to mainstream feminist wisdom, there is no such thing as a "female brain" or a "female soul" or "feeling like a female." By the words of every liberal who has ever said anything on the subject of women's rights in the past four decades, how you dress, look, think, and feel have nothing to do with your womanhood. Usually it would be offensive and sexist to accuse a woman of acting like, thinking like, or feeling like a woman.

Yet now, suddenly, emotions and looks define a woman so severely that a man can actually become one if he claims to experience feelings that he assumes are feminine? The whole thing contradicts itself.

Feminism and transgenderism say two opposing things about what it means to be a woman. In fact, feminists have come up with the term "neurosexism" to condemn the misogynistic and "pseudo-scientific" idea that male and females brains are different. But Bruce Jenner claims he has "the brain of a female" so how does this work? Do you mean to tell me that the only people who can have female brains are males?

Meanwhile, feminists regularly insist that the absence of a uterus and a vagina excludes men from having an opinion about things like abortion. So a man can't have ideas about women's issues because he lacks the correct anatomy, but he can actually be a woman despite lacking the correct anatomy? How does that make any kind of sense? Transgenderism and feminism cannot coexist. Progressives can't have both. They'll just have to choose.

For my part, I agree that a man can never lay claim to womanhood. I also agree that there is such a thing as a female brain and a female soul and by extension female emotions and female personalities and female characteristics; but the trouble is that female brains and souls are always contained securely in female bodies. A man will never be born with a sloth's heart or a rhino's liver or a birch tree's root system, just as he will never be born with a woman's brain.

I'm told that white people appropriate black culture when they listen to Nikki Minaj or wear flat brimmed hats. I'm not sure that such offenses constitute cultural theft as much as they indicate possible brain damage, but that's not the point. If we're worried about groups appropriating from other groups, I think we need to investigate the practice of calling a man a woman because he grinds down his forehead, wears eyeliner, and pins back his genitals. If you look closely, you might find reason to consider this an appropriation of womanhood, or worse, a degradation of it.

There is more to being a woman than "feminized" facial features and frilly underwear. Bruce Jenner in drag is not beautiful. Women are beautiful because they are women. Womanhood is itself beautiful. Women bring something distinct and special to the world. They fill a void and play a role that no man can.

A woman is a woman not merely because of whatever cosmetic feature a man might vaguely emulate. A woman is a woman because of her biology, which a man does not share and never will. A woman is a woman because of her capacity to create life and harbor it in her body until birth, which a man cannot do. A woman is a woman because of her soul, her mind, her perspective, her experiences, and her unique way of thinking, of loving, and of being -- all things a man can only mimic.

A woman is a woman. She has earned that title. She pays for that title. She suffers with that title and gives life with that title and lives from conception until death and beyond with that title. She is that title. She should not be told that it's such a flimsy thing that a man with enough money can buy his way into it. It's demeaning and reductive, and as a father and a husband and a son and a brother, I take exception to it. I can only imagine how women might feel if they were only allowed to be open about it.

And notice I said I "can only imagine," because that's all I can do. I cannot experience a woman's thoughts or feelings due to the fact that I am not one. You don't get to have a "new" self or another self or a different self or a Self 2.0. Your self is your self. It's your being. It's your essential personhood; your particular and unrepeated character. Your self is your body, mind, and soul. It is physically, metaphysically, spiritually, philosophically, scientifically, rationally and logically impossible for a self to change into a new self. A self can only be what it is. 

It's all so evil and so bizarre and so unthinkably ridiculous that no dystopian sci-fi writer could have predicted that the collapse of western society would look like this. Right now Orwell and Huxley are looking on in deep regret. "Man! An apocalyptic future where people are so pampered, conceited, and bored that they pretend they can snap their fingers and reconstruct their soul from scratch -- why didn't I think of that?" 

After many years and at least a dozen viral Dove marketing campaigns, it seems that, for the sake of the gay agenda, we've utterly abandoned the whole "women shouldn't be photoshopped or plastered with makeup and silicone in order to reinforce a subjective standard of femininity" thing. Perhaps the one single thing liberals were actually right about has now been tossed into the garbage because it doesn't serve the gay/"transgender" narrative.

If progressives can wield the power to demolish and remake even the definition of "man" and "woman" in their ideological image, then they have achieved a total  and irreversible cultural victory. They have reached into the universe and reshaped reality itself. They have become gods, or at least that's the kind of power we give them. You can blab on and on about economics and foreign policy, but if we live in a country where confusion, perversion, and self-worship reign supreme, what's the point? America will already be dead.

STEPHANIE GRISHAM IS JUST ANOTHER OMAROSA, ANGRY AND VENOMOUS.

ICHEOKU says William Congreve in his book 'The Mourning Bride' said that 'hell has no fury like a woman scorned.' Stephanie Grisham is definitely acting like one such woman, but who scorned her? Who did a number on her that incensed her so much that she decided to take it out on the Trumps? Why the level of anger and bitterness and why at a family who welcomed her into their bosom and provided her with so many countless opportunities? Is this the best way she knows to pay them back for their goodness or it is yet another proof that no good deed goes unpunished. Why Stephanie, why?

Could it be instead, that she is desperately seeking relevance and financial gains that she decided to exploit her once privileged closeness to the Trump's family and presidency by making her own claims against the Trumps in her soon to be published book "I'll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw in the Trump White House." What a woman? Why did she do such a story now and going around media houses trying to market it, while choosing at the same time to ignore and disregard her breach of the trust which was bequeathed on her by the Trumps, the reason they allowed her within their circle in the first place. 

At the rate these former staffers are going, writing their supposedly "tell all" hit pieces, it will become very difficult filling positions in a presidency, as presidents will be very wary of hiring people, aware that they might some day tell stories about them, including un-collaborated tales of what they supposedly witnessed and observed while serving in the White House. It is also possible that some of these "tell-all" stories are outrightly made up accounts or were heavily embellished just to add extra punch, in order to entice public's curiosity and make what they have written worthy of reading to generate and boost sales. 

If she was this unsatisfied with her stay in the President Trump's White House, why did she stay for that long, more than five years and not resigned in protest much earlier? Why did she pretend that everything was alright sucking up to the Trumps only to now turn a rat, telling tales from her imagination, majority of which she made up as she wrote. A woman who was so trusted by Trump that she went from being a campaign aide to then presidential candidate Trump to becoming the First Lady's press secretary and later White House press secretary, but who have chosen to become a Brutus. Why?

In fact it does not even matter whether or not her story is true and her veracity for truthfully speaking is unimpeachable, the fact of the matter is that she breached her trust to the president by regurgitating her supposed recollections of what happened during the time she pretended to serve the president and the First Lady loyally. The breach alone is sufficient to defeat whatever her book contains because if she is capable of such a stab in the back, she is also capable of just any other thing, including lying and making up stories and therefore cannot be trusted to warrant reading her tales. 

How close was she to Trump's mouth or Putin's ear to have heard what the president whispered into Putin's ears? Is she a psychic that she was able to decipher from Trump's body language  that the president was merely pretending courage before Putin, but was deathly afraid of the Russia strong man? We should be more concerned about her character and question the motive behind her own latest addition to the long list of books of besmirch of the president. Why should America continue to allow such despicable people to profit from breaching such a position of trust and confidence which they once held. 

Was Stephanie Grisham born that way or did some financial difficulties trigger her other dark side. Why is she so bitter as to decide to become so poisonous, lying and making up fantastical nonsensical about a family which took her in, gave her a chance at life, a voice and recognition. Why would anyone be this perfidious and treacherous, thus making it difficult if not impossible to ever trust people again. What is her beef with the Trump's family that she is attacking everyone and has become an epitome that money is the root of all evil. Who made her an offer she could not refuse in the attempt to further tarnish Trump's legacy and family name? Who induced and motivated her to say and write her pitiful work of fiction, imaginations and fantasies, including  things which probably came to her from voices in her head.  

Why would anyone be this angry? She appears so troubled and so vengeful that she probably made up the story or at least embellished them heavily just to get her pound of flesh. She has by gushing out shown that she cannot be trusted to keep peoples private matters private, so why would anyone else trust her account of what she allegedly said she witnessed and heard in the Trump's White House? We should not waste our money on such a trashy book by a woman who has now proved herself to be so trashy and desperately seeking to profit from tarnishing President Donald John Trump, his wife Melania, his daughter Ivanka, his son in-law Jared Kushner and the overall Trump's presidency. 

Even if all her alleged sundry list is true, is America's most pressing need now another tale about the Trumps or haven't we had enough to last us a lifetime already? Does the country still have appetite for it and are people still craving for some more Trump's bashing. Of all the challenges facing the country including an intractable coronavirus disease, an economy that is still fluttering, increased gun violence, uneasiness and heightened anxiety about the future, her solution is to burden us further and feed us with more tales about the Trump. The woman is a nut job and should be completely ignored as not worthy of our time and money as she has proved herself to be even worse than Omarosa Manigault Newman. Such creepy people are dangerous and should never be encouraged nor supported in anyway that would aid their perpetuating of their devious acts. 

By her action, Stephanie Grisham makes a strong case for a law prohibiting writing of "tell-all" books so soon after one had held any position of trust and confidence, for at least five years post disengagement. Stephanie Grisham is a testament that the allure of money could transform people demonic moles, listening into conversations and watching every movement of their bosses, only to later profit from writing books about them. Such conduct is killing "trust and confidence" in America and since Non Disclosure Agreement seems to no longer work as effectively as expected, there is a need to pass another law to prohibit such unduly taking advantage of  a once held position of privileged close relationship. 

Stephanie Grisham has morphed into a great pretender, a green snake in a green grass, who lurked around the Trumps only just for this moment. She should never have been allowed within such perimeters of confidence and trustworthiness. She definitely did it for money and not that she has anything of value to inform the people. She is a female Judas Iscariot who betrayed people who hitherto took her into such a great confidence and allowed her to be near them. From what she did, it is hard to believe that there is anyone left in America who could be trusted to keep peoples confidences and secrets as the private matter which they are; or is it possibly the reason they say in Washington DC, if you want a friend or confidant, get a dog. 

719,933 COVID-19 DEATHS IN AMERICA: WHY IS THE VIRUS MORE VIRULENT IN AMERICA?

ICHEOKU says coronavirus death toll in America has crossed 700,000 and speedily inching close to one million. Thousands more are still dying from the scourge in America today when nearly the rest of the world have moved on from the virus and back to living their normal, pre coronavirus, life. It is equally noteworthy that none of these other countries suffered as many loss of lives as America suffered and still suffering; and despite vaccinations, many people are still dying from the coronavirus in America. So, what went wrong with America's handling of the coronavirus and why is America still being pummeled by it? Why is the death toll in America far more worse than it is in the rest of the countries, including the reputedly, country of origin and purveyor of the coronavirus, China.  

Why, despite the fabled medical and technological sciences advancement of America were so many American people still lost and are still being lost to the coronavirus disease.  What exactly went wrong in America's healthcare system that brought about such a gory outcome. Why did more American people die from the coronavirus than any other people on the face of earth including in less developed countries. Is it possible that Americans were infected with a different strand of the coronavirus than the type which the rest of the world were infected with? Is it possible too that the infection rate and mortality had to do with our body type and the food we eat or our lifestyle? What caused the very high mortality and why did more Americans die and still dying because of the virus.

Could it be that our medical and hospital management is afterall not the best or as efficient as they are hyped to be; or simply that medical staff got overwhelmed by the number of the dying that they became numb to death and in the process to get it over with, no longer cared much about who lived or died. Did business considerations come into play in the thinking of how to manage the pandemic that infected people did not receive optimal care, leading to their deaths. Did such profit over care consideration impact the quality of care that were being administered that it led to such a high number of fatalities. Why did what worked in other countries not work in America, in regards to prevention and care that kept their death rates very low?

It is a very difficult thing to process, the fact that more people died from the coronavirus pandemic in America and are still dying from it than in any other country, especially for a country that prides itself as supposedly the premier country on earth. Not even third world countries fared this bad and no other advanced country suffered a fate close to what America found itself with and still going through with. America is the third most populous country in the world yet it suffered more coronavirus deaths than the first and second most populous countries, China and India, put together. So, why the wide disparity or is there something peculiar in our DNA that made us to be more susceptible to the disease than the rest of the world. 

It is not enough to mention that over seven hundred Americans have died so far or just to mourn and pray for them; there is a need to investigate the medical anomaly which manifests in this huge numbers and unravel the mystery behind it. It is inexplicable that this many Americans succumbed to the virus and so many people in America as well as the rest of the world similarly share in this concern, wondering why the almighty America could not arrest the scourge and prevent its people from being deleted by it in so large numbers. The country of can do where nothing is impossible eventually found itself on bended knees, being clobbered by the coronavirus when the rest of the world did not suffer nearly the same level of fatalities. 

Something does not feel right about the high death toll and needs a digging deep into, to find out why. Not even the change of presidents effected anything with 319,933 deaths since President Joe Biden took office. To the dead and dying, may the good Lord give them rest. To those afflicted and suffering, we decree speedy recovery on them. To the unvaccinated, please get your shots and help in your little way to help keep the scourge under control. As we continue to explore what possibly went wrong that cost this many lives, 719,933 Americans dead; and how to keep everybody safe and alive, pharmaceutical companies should double their effort at finding a permanent panacea for the virus, either a vaccine or a drug that actually works, which will finally put an end to the scourge. It is sad.

ONLY WOMEN GET PREGNANT AND GIVE BIRTH, PERIOD.

ICHEOKU says the assault on womanhood is continuing with the rancid woke left idiocy that "anybody" or "people" can get pregnant. This thinking is very demeaning and degrading to the labor of love which women give freely in making babies, the reason the world is still populated with human beings. Without that special and unique ability, humanity as we know it would have since petered to an end. Therefore it is incumbent on us, especially males, to always recognize this inviolable imperative and learn to treat women better, more respectfully and more fairly, aware that they are the "Gods" of creation which we can actually see and feel, and whose finished work that take them nine months to perfect we can in fact behold as babies. 

For anyone to say or suggest that "anybody" can get pregnant is indeed insulting to general sensibilities as it is belittling of this great and awesome wonderful labor of love which only women give. It is particularly offensive when those who do not know exactly what women go through in bringing new lives into this world, a journey which have cost millions of them their lives, but which have not deterred them from continuously embarking on, mouth off such silliness. Carrying a baby for nine long months, the discomfort, the sickness, the sleeplessness, the kicks, the nausea, the anxiety, the bloated body and general malaise, topped off by agonizing labor pain and the near death experience of delivery, should under no circumstances, be diminished or toyed with because it is not a joke nor a laughing matter. 

Anyone involved in lessening the gravity of child bearing by dismissing it as an all comer's game needs to have their head examined. The men and some very strange feminists females propagating this notion that pregnancy is not a big deal, such that "anybody" can get pregnant, sound like brain-dead imbeciles who are unashamed of distorting a fact of great consequence. Real women, especially those who have been through the experience, should not allow these men and the distorted women, who have never experienced child bearing and delivery, to understand what the pangs of childbirth really feels like, to continue to demean pregnancy or even the broader womanhood. Both are near sacred as they involve the bringing of human beings into this world. A glorifying thing of immense joy.

This unique ability of women calls for their celebration, show of optimal respect and being sanctified as the only human beings capable of multiplying by pulling off such feat. It is outrageous to disparage pregnancy as an "anybody" affair or derisively dismiss it as as "people" can get pregnant. No, people do not get pregnant, only women do; and although women are people, but they are of a special breed. The beauty of pregnancy and its special place is such that not even all women are capable of getting pregnant and/or carrying babies to full term. Pregnancy is a special blessing from God as only those women who are optimally blessed with the capacity and ability, can in fact, actually get pregnant and/or carry babies to term. 

It is therefore about time women rose up and demand an end to the put down of such onerous responsibility which they undertake selflessly, without question. Women should be appreciated and acknowledged more for all the sacrifices involved in birthing babies and possibly too, should  be even paid to have babies. But whatever happens, the idiotic and imbecilic narrative and thinking that "anybody" can get pregnant must not be allowed to take root. The attempt to denigrate or diminish or dismiss the hell which women go through to bring children into this world should be condemned by every right thinking person because it is one heck of a big deal to make the journey, especially as repeatedly as millions of women do. Enough of the disparagement; lets celebrate pregnancy and also celebrate women who make it happen. 

NATIONAL WOMEN SOCCER LEAGUE SEX SCANDAL: NOT SURPRISED BUT AVOIDABLE.

ICHEOKU says following the US Gymnastics scandal which sent Dr Larry Nasser to prison, one would have expected the separation of the wolves from the sheeps in order to guard against any such future scandal. But apparently, such preventive, proactive measure was not put in place, hence the latest scandal engulfing the National Women Soccer League. 

The solution is simple, since there is no crystal ball for knowing who is a potential sexual abuser, all women sports, including women soccer, should be left entirely for women alone. All women's sports should be solely women's affair, left for women coaches, women administrators and women managers, and that way, put an end to the regularly occurring unwanted sexual harassments of sportswomen by their male handlers. This is not to suggest that lesbian and transgendered females do not sexually harass women or are incapable of sexually harassing women, but it is not as much as full bloodied males who are always drunk on testosterone and like bulls in musk, frequently seeking drainage.

Although it is going to be difficult to accomplish such a gender only exclusivity in women's sports, because there are not enough women manpower (woman-power) to fill all the necessary positions, but it is worth making the effort. More women should be recruited into sports academies to train for these positions in order to have this problem permanently fixed. Some men, if not most of them, can hardly look the other way when constantly surrounded by a beehive of young healthy bodies. A matter made even worse when they have some form of authority over the women and are easily tempted to venture unto the forbidden terrain or in some cases, even demand a quid pro quo sexual favors for being selected to play or participate in the teams regularly. 

It is an authority thing, meant to control the women and have them subjugated to satisfying their libidinous desires. The sports world is just like any other work place, admitted every work places have not been cleared of all men; but the sports world is somewhat different because there are very few limited spaces available for participants, thus making the competition very rife. It is this scarcity and the desire to fill them that these abusers are exploiting to gain undue advantage over these women, using "play to play" as a weapon of choice. It is not right nor justifiably excusable under any circumstances and all measures should be explored that would permanently put an end to it. There are also many victims who are currently dying in silence due to the shame of coming out, not being believed or fear of possible retaliatory loss of place and position in the team. 

For any one creep caught, there are many others who have not been caught as well as those who are just about to get started. The problem is prevalent and enduring within the league, which made Purple-hair fella, Megan Rapione to lash out, saying "Burn it all down, let all of their heads roll" while reacting to the news of fired Washington Spirit's head coach Richie Burke and North Carolina Courage's head coach Paul Riley. Also that the League's Commissioner Lisa Baird quickly threw in her resignation equally shows that she knew about it but failed to do something about it, which has now added more combustible materials to the eruptions in the League. A serious, across the board investigation and real solutions are needed right now to, as Megan rightly put it, protect the right person/s. 

The National Women Soccer League can achieve this by becoming more proactive in dealing with this problem, instead of mitigating resultant damages. It also does not matter that some people are attacking womanhood in our world today and trying to invent an utopian genderless society where males and females are blended into just persons or people. It also does not matter or should not matter that some women claim that they feel and believe that they are men and vice versa. But when an issue as horrible as the present rises, everyone should band together to admit the biological fact of the indisputable distinction between the sexes. We should therefore put aside all the woke political correctness divisions and together, find a permanent solution to a pervasive problem by letting women do their thing, coach and manage their women leagues. #EndTheScandal.

BRITNEY SPEARS: A HUGE MISTAKE JETTISONING HER FATHER.

ICHEOKU says her enablers, glorified vultures, who are only interested in the carrion and not in what is her best interest engineered the outcome. Now the singer has been completely severed from her father's supervision and with that, once again become vulnerable. Where were these hangers-on when she nearly lost it all, including her center of equilibrium resulting in that horrific shaving of her hair. They were no place to be found when she was on the precipice about to end it and needed all the help she could get. Her family took it upon themselves to rescue her and labored tirelessly until they salvaged their daughter from self destruct. After 13 years of maintaining her on the narrow straight and right path, these destroyers of the fame and famous, have come back to "liberate" their Britney so that she can once again become their cash cow and they will milk her until her udders all come off. 

It does not matter what anyone says about her father or the manner of discipline he imposed on his daughter, the fact remains that he did whatever he did to save Britney and Britney was saved. If there is ever one case where the end justified the means, the rehabilitation of Britney Spears is one such case. It showed that no one can ever love a child more than their parents and for a girl, the always abiding love between dad and daddy's girl, endured in Britney's case. She was loved by her daddy who went far and beyond to show that by doing whatever it took to rehabilitate her almost lost daughter. No stranger can show that amount of care and love and not the new conservator appointed by the judge to replace Mr Jamie Spears. 

Mr Spears loves his daughter and protected her from the jackals prowling around for a chunk to bite off her. Unfortunately, instead of showing appreciation to her daddy, Britney went with the flow of her praise singers and pushed the man who saved her aside and dove headlong back into the restless scavengers growling for her fortune. Their well orchestrated plan to isolate Britney from her family so that they can continue the frenzy-feeding off her have succeeded as the court has ordered Mr Spears' suspension as her conservator. These jackals will do whatever it takes to keep her gushing up her fortune, including supplying her with drugs of her choice and other cravings to impact her clarity of decision making. They will put her back on the speed lane of the highway to hell and the crash this time, will be very unforgiving. 

Before you even start, ICHEOKU will like to stop you right away by saying, please spare ICHEOKU the apologies that it is her money, she is an adult and should be free to live her life as she sees fit. Where is Michael Jackson today or was it not his money, was he not an adult and was he not free and lived his life as he saw fit? How about Whitney Houston, the popular crack is whack theorist? It was her money, she was an adult and she lived her life freely as she saw fit.  The list of such unfortunate incidents is long, of adults who were not saved by intervention but were left to live their lives as they saw fit because it was their money and they were adults, so nobody told them how to live their lives. 

ICHEOKU is emphatic that Britney Spears would since become history but for the intervention of her family which stood by her and pulled her out of the jaws of certain death. She was at door and knocking frantically to be let in but was lucky her family rushed in, grabbed her and took her back home before Madam Death could get off the couch to open the door for her. So all those pretenders rallying for Britney Spears to "get her life back" should refresh themselves and reflect on the events that led to Britney Spear being denied and not having her life in the first place. Something led to it, it is called intervention and it is the reason Britney Spears is still alive till this day. 

If Brittany had not shown the propensity to spiral down into scary situation in the past, may be nobody would have intervened in her life. But for someone who literally grew up before our eyes, and who we watched strutting the runway of self ruination before her parents intervened and saved her from an assured self destruct, she rightly earned to be placed under conservatorship. Whether the conservatorship is still necessary depends on whether Britney Spears has metamorphosed into somebody other than the one placed under conservatorship. Hopefully the judge reviewed all the evidence before arriving at her conclusion that Mr Spears be suspended as her conservator; and by appointing a new conservator shows that the judge is equally doubtful that Britney has reinvented herself. 

Is it possible that she could have changed? Is it possible that she is now a fully grown woman who has put her acts together and now knows what is best for her? Is it possible that the Britany Spear 2.0 is and will be different from the Britany Spear 1.0 who shaved off her hair on national television? Everything is possible, but to completely sever all ties with her father, the man who salvaged her, is not the best foot to put forward. She should have began her quest for complete freedom quest by co-managing her affairs as equal partner with her father and then evolve accordingly, until such a future time that she becomes more comfortable and fully ready to assume the control of the driving wheels without any need for further supervision.

She complained about not being allowed to have children and marrying; but she already have two children with and was once married to Kevin Federline. Everyone knows how that married worked out and ended with so much being paid to the gold digging baby daddy. So why tempt fate again with another fella who is likely another Federline, just patiently waiting to also strike at her pot of gold at the right time. She could easily proceed in the Oprah Winfrey lane and style any future relationship like Oprah has with Mr Steadman; and try and enjoy the rest of her life with only a companion, without fear of community property trouble or another alimony or spousal support in the future. Prenup won't even be that helpful as some good lawyers sometimes find a way of circumventing it to take more than is stipulated.

Anyway, the court has given the green light and how she decides to navigate the boat forward is now strictly her decision. ICHEOKU wishes her well and pray that everything works out well for her; and that people will not take too much advantage of her and ride her like a pony until she falls apart. No one deserves to go through life constantly under supervision, but her situation warranted it. She now owes it to the people who supported her through the ordeal to prove to them that she has turned the corner, that she is now a new leaf, a competent person who is ready and able to manage her affairs without a need for her father's supervision. She should not confirm the fears in some quarters that nothing has changed and should live up to the expectation of the judge who ruled that she no longer needs her father's guidance as she will soon be freed of all supervision and take her life fully back. Goodluck Britney. 

MANNY PACQUIAO HANGS UP HIS BOXING GLOVES: WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2022.

"To the greatest fans and the greatest sport in the world, thank you! Thank you for all the wonderful memories. This is the hardest decision I've ever made, but I'm at peace with it. Chase your dreams, work hard, and watch what happens. Goodbye boxing. To the boxing fans all over the world, thank you very much. Thank you for always praying for me and watching my fights through the years. I would like to thank the whole world, especially the Filipino people, for supporting Manny Pacquiao. Goodbye boxing. It is difficult for me to accept that my time as a boxer is over. Today, I am announcing my retirement." - Manny Pacquiao.

ICHEOKU says with those words, he signed off from the ring and gloves, and will now squarely dedicate himself to politics. He gave it his all and he had much to show for it. He dared dream of greatness and was handsomely rewarded. A storied 26-years boxing career that saw him battle 72-fights, winning 62, lost 8 and drew 2. It is also instructive that 39 of his wins were by knockouts. He won 12 world titles and is the only fighter in history to win titles in eight different weight classes. He is currently a Senator, elected since 2016; and has announced his candidacy for president to succeed current President Duterte Rodrigo in 2022. 

Coming from nothing in his rural Philippines's country side to what he eventually became, a global personality with immerse fame and fortune, is an exact definition of rising "from grass to grace" and he achieved it all through sheer determination to succeed and will to become great. Hopefully he will win the presidential election in 2022 as a crowning glory to his boxing and political exploits; and further motivate millions more around the world, particularly those in Philippines, who will see in him that only you can stop yourself from becoming whatever you want to be. 

It would have been better had he ended his boxing career with a win rather than a loss to Yordenis Ugas, who now is forever etched in history as the last boxer who Manny Pacquiao fought in his boxing career and who also joins the only ten people to ever defeat Manny Pacquiao. Manny himself would have loved to have ended on such a high note but he did not write the script of his life and can only accept what destiny wrote for him, including how his boxing career would end, by losing his last fight. But all is well that ends well as he dropped his gloves without suffering any major career ending injury and retired on his own terms. May God be praised for blessing him so abundantly. 

ICHEOKU says Manny Pacquiao is right when he said that he will never forget what he accomplished in his life, and neither will his fans and the general world of boxing as well as the political class in the Philippines forget. So long Peoples Champ, Mr Pacman and National Fist of Philippines as he plunges headlong into becoming the next president of the Philippines. At 42 years old, he still have a lot of years ahead of him to do whatever his heart desires including become president and help make the Philippines great again. All the best with succeeding President Duterte Rodrigo as the next Philippines' president in 2022. President Manny Pacquiao  definitely sounds good to ICHEOKU and also millions of Philippines people. God speed, Pacman!

GENERAL MARK MILLEY FAILED TO LIFT THE PALL OF TRAITOR AND INSUBORDINATION.

ICHEOKU says although Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs General Mark Milley has testified as to what he thinks was his recollections about obvious misconducts including the Afghanistan botched withdrawal and the secret phone call to China, but are they truly reflective of his actions, the reason the calls for his resignation or for him to be fired is not abating but still resonating. There are so many issues which are still left un-clarified from his appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee, and until satisfactorily, fully and exhaustively explained, will continue to haunt him and question his candor, credibility and fitness to remain in office as Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs. 

If the Chairman as he claims maintains absolute loyalty to the United States, why did he stretch his telephone conversation with China after assuring them that America will not attack them, to include that he will give them a heads-up and tip them off should any such order ever be issued by the president? This further assurance is where his cookie crumbled as such defeats the element of surprise in warfares and will also allow China to lie in wait for American troops and massacre them at sight. Giving China a prior information about an impending attack will have China raise its defenses, land, air and sea, thus exposing incursions by the United States Navy, Air-force and the Army to Chinese destructive measures. 

So, he reviewed intelligence that suggested that Chinese officials were worried that the United States was planning an attack because of exercises in the South China Sea. But even if it was not true, was it not better that China was kept worrying and not knowing what was going on in America's president's mind, and that way they would be forced to moderate their hostile maritime actions in the South China Sea, since they don't know how America might react. But he not only deflated that element of an enemy not knowing what its adversary is thinking, but also took further step to inform them that he will tip them off in the event any attack was ordered. 

He served the United States for 43 years, but is he still the same person he once was and is he still serving with the same candor as he did the past 42 years? Is he still as loyal and committed to the United States as he then was, and still maintains his lane of authority; or has his high office gotten into his head that he began to think that he can sabotage a sitting United States president? He said that he is trying hard to keep the military out of politics, but celebrated Joe Biden's election win, which made many people wonder if he possibly participated in the shenanigans that led to the election result. Why would  apolitical Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staffs, who is trying to keep politics out of the military, care about who is elected the president? 

Why was he delighted that President Donald John Trump was not reelected to a second term if he indeed is not political, and did not have a dog in the fight on November 3rd, 2020? If he knew for certain that President Trump did not intend to attack China, why did he initiate the conversation and not let Chinese officials call to make the inquiry or confirm their fears before he can then assure them that everything is under control. Would what he did not be interpreted by the Chinese as America being afraid of them and seeking ways to avoid a conflict with the Peoples Liberation Army? It would have been better had the Chinese called the Chairman regarding their "intelligence" on a possible attack by America and then the assurance. We are not going to attack you, did they say you were going to attack them? 

As if that was not enough, he took a call from Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is not his Commander in Chief, without referring the acute partisan politician to the chain of command, which should be the Secretary of Defense, for any information which she seeks from the Pentagon. That the speaker has the power of the purse over the Defense Department does not mean that she also has direct power over the military business aspects of the Pentagon. Why did the speaker not broach her fears about President Trump's mental equilibrium with the Secretary of Defense or better still from the White House doctor, instead of thrusting herself directly into the Pentagon and making an inquiry which was not her place to make. 

The ability to launch nuclear weapons resides exclusively with the president, which the speaker has no business meddling in and the Chairman should have told her this immediately and ended the conversation. But no, he went on to assure her that nuclear launch is governed by a very specific and deliberate process as if the Nancy Pelosi did not already know these but was merely looking for informations with which to continue her propaganda that President Trump is a whacko doodle. Both of them were busy gossiping about the president and questioning his capacity to, not only continue to function as president but to exercise his inalienable authority as Commander in Chief with powers over nuclear weapons launch. 

Various personal references characterizing then President Trump were made by the Speaker, to which the Chairman must have likely concurred and most probably given his own pieces of opinion too. How could there ever be an "illegal, unauthorized or accidental launch" of nuclear weapons with all the protocols put in place safeguarding such? His duty is to execute as commanded, but he inserted himself in the process of command, and discussed his Commander in Chief's mental capacity with a highly charged partisan Speaker of the House of Representatives, who never allowed any day to go by without attacking and disparaging the then president of the United States of America. 

Why did the Chairman not figure out that the Speaker's intention was highly partisan and why did he later inform the Secretary of Defense after the fact and not before it, by directing the Speaker to channel her inquiries to the Secretary of Defense, the real supervisory authority at the Pentagon and by constitution, the liaison officer between the political wing and the military. ICHEOKU is emphatic that the Chairman actively attempted to change and influence the process, usurped authority and inserted himself into the chain of command. All he would have done was tell Madam Speaker that telephoning him was out of order, but he gleefully took the call to curry her favor. 

Further, if the Afghanistan withdrawal was a logistical success, why did we lose 13 service men and women? Why the chaos witnessed which forever tarnished the image of America as incompetent and incapable of executing a simple task of withdrawing its troops as demanded by the Taliban. Better still, could it be that a military which did not want to withdraw from Afghanistan as commanded by the president, chose to sabotage the mission by making it look ugly and tardy just to make their point and smear the withdrawal. What exactly led to the sore sight witnessed at Kabul, both at the airport and in the city, with difficulties in getting to the airport. Only a commission of inquiry would unravel the answers, but will the Congress summon the courage to so do? 

According to him, “My oath is to support the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and I will never turn my back on the oath. I firmly believe in civilian control of the military as a bedrock principle essential to this republic and I am committed to ensuring the military stays clear of domestic politics.” But it should be qualified as a case of trust but first verify, everything that happened considered. Why did he think he needed to talk to Bob Woodward and Robert Costa over a book aptly titled Peril which is turning out to be very perilous to him; and to spill the much he did or allowed to be spilled. Is he planning a post active duty gig and actively seeking Hollywood embrace? 

Although President Joe Biden has said that he has full confidence in the Chairman, which was obviously partisan driven because it was President Donald John Trump that was impacted. But the president should act in the interest of the office of the president in order to safeguard the office from rogue generals who might think that they know better than their political leadership to circumvent a president. President Joe Biden should fire Chairman Mark Milley because what he did was to the office of the president and commander in chief, and it is a disgraceful and unprecedented act of insubordination. Allowing him to remain is setting a bad precedent and if it is President Trump now, it might be President Biden or some other president in the future with another rogue general. It is even a shame that he has not resigned on his own accord. It is sad. 

R. KELLY CONVICTED: TOOK DOWN BY HIS OWN KIND, BLACK'S #METOO MOVEMENT.

ICHEOKU says whether he was not as lucky or Attorney Deveraux Cannick was no Johnnie Cochran and could not pull him out of the jaws of the law and justice. But it is debatable if OJ Simpson would have been as exceptionally lucky to walk free had his case come up in this day of crazy #MeToo movement gone wild. The pressure which they mount on the justice system and society in general, to get hard on whoever they point their accusatory finger at, in demand of justice for alleged past sexual offenses, usually makes it difficult, if not impossible, for any defense lawyer to be successful at mounting an effective defense for a client, the accused. 

Robert Sylvester Kelly has now been devoured by his own kind as the same black women who queued up to hear him sing, who sought favors from him and in some cases even threw themselves at him have now turned around to nail him, using their own version of #MeToo movement called #MuteRKelly as a weapon. They were insistent, they were vociferous, they shouted and screamed on top of their lungs, protested and boycotted his music until they put him at the crosshairs and microscope of the Feds, sexual predator who needs to be investigated. Today their effort has paid off as R Kelly stands convicted of the sexual crimes which these black women alleged, and he is now a pervert and sexual predator who preyed on minors as well as other people who he took advantage of. 

Urinating on anyone, regardless of their age and even sex, is abhor-able and offends every sensibilities of decent behavior. R Kelly went too far in some of the allegations and accusations for which he has now been convicted and will remain a sexual predator for the rest of his natural life. His activities was characterized as a "mafia-style" enterprise which he used to systematically abuse women and young girls, four of which were minors at their first sexual encounter. He was described as a sexual predator who used his inner circle to ensnare underage girls and young men and women for decades, in a sordid web of sex abuse, exploitation and humiliation.

But if as his lawyer claimed the government cherry picked the evidence to suit their narrative, was it not his duty as a defense lawyer to dismantle them? What was he doing when these supposedly cherry picked evidence were being fed to the jury? Why did he wait until after his client was convicted and facing serious time in prison to make such allegation. Was he expecting the government not to try and secure conviction or did R Kelly hire him for mere observation, only to later come out to say what he said. Why did he not share what he saw in "terms of discovery" with the jury? Why did he not point all the inconsistencies to the jury when it would have mattered and made some difference? 

Anyway, why did R Kelly not rehire the same lawyers who helped him beat the previous child pornography charges over a decade ago in Illinois? Hopefully his team have now learnt their lesson in the harshest way and will seek out Bill Cosby's appellate lawyers to help pursue his appeal and see if they can possible wriggle out of the verdict and at worst get a retrial or a reduced term. Pregnant wife killer Scott Patterson got his death sentence reduced to life term, so anything is possible when a good lawyer is in charge of and/or involved in a case. Who is even this Deveraux Cannick and what defense record does he parade that made him the choice attorney to take this case. Since Johnie Cochran is no more, why not Thomas Arthur Mesereau or Mark Geragos.  

May and October relationship was not the issue because so many men often marry much younger women including Harrison Ford whose wife Calista Flockhart is nearly as young as his granddaughter would be, with 22 years age difference. Texas oil mogul J Howard Marshall married Anna Nicole Smith when he was 89 years old and Anna was only 26 years old. And of course Mr Playboy Hugh Hefner never dated any girl above 25 years and he died at 91 years old still sexually active. But R Kelly was not charged nor convicted of dating women he was twenty years older than, he was charged and convicted for crimes of predatory sex with minors, among other crimes. 

ICHEOKU says R Kelly's conviction is a strong lesson to other celebrities to be very careful not to use their fame and fortune to prey on young and vulnerable girls for their sexual gratification, as their victims might someday decide to rat them out and seek justice. Everything which R Kelly had worked for has now come to an end as he is forever tarnished, branded as a sexual predator. A stigma which he will carry to his grave that even if he survives prison, where such predators are regularly preyed on themselves, he will find it difficult to reposition himself post incarceration. It is sad what karma throws at people that R Kelly, who never foresaw this coming when he was on top of the world and having his way however pleased him, has now been met with such a rebuke. 

It was one heck of a coincidence that one of the witness fell unconscious and "miraculously" woke up at the exact time R Kelly was adjusting his pants, and then reached a conclusion that he had his way with her. As for wanting his girls to dress in a particular manner with their hair put in pony tail or as girls scout, ICHEOKU has nothing against that since he wanted what is pleasing to his eyes and paid for it, admitted the girls should have had the option to opt out and walk away and not be compelled to live and look as R Kelly pleases. He paid to have them look as he wants and a buyer most times have the upper hand in such bargains. 

Robert Sylvester Kelly believes he can fly but did not know that he will some day be flying into prison for a long time; convicted on nine counts charges including racketeering based on sexual exploitation of children, bribery, sexual trafficking, kidnapping, forced labor, and violations of the Mann Act which bars the transportation of people across state lines for sex. Provided he was correctly convicted, based on proven evidence, he met the fate which he richly deserves and everybody should be happy that finally a sexual predator has been removed from the society. May the victims now begin to heal. It is sad that another black mega star ended his storied career and possibly life in this sordid manner. It is often either drug overdose or scandal and R Kelly choose the later. What a tragedy.

BBC's YOUNG PRAY MORE SURVEY: WEST GONE WITH THE WIND OF WOKE CULTURE.

ICHEOKU says a recent news beat on BBC reported a survey which found that young people in the United Kingdom now pray more than their adult counterparts. But the real story is that only Muslims and Hindus were showcased and probably the only ones interviewed for the survey, but not young Christians, most likely in continuation of the war against God and Christianity. It is an inexplicable and incomprehensible absurdity that either BBC and/or the conductor of the survey, in their infinite wisdom, decided on such dichotomy and that only the two religions are worthy of their survey, but not the traditionally Western-centric Christianity.  

Christianity is the bedrock of the Western civilization but it is gradually being relegated to the background and to some extent nearly completely banished from our lives, that it is steadily being treated as a nuisance, disturbance and distraction to the Woke agenda plaguing Western countries. In its place, Islam and other religions are quickly filling the void and with active help of Western media and their talking heads, which are bent on perverting the society with their anti Christianity messaging. They are also heavily invested in teaching behaviors which are anti Christianity in their effort to further dilute Christianity's moral authority and weaken it. 

It is not only in the United Kingdom that this assault on Christianity is going on but throughout the Western world including the United States of America, where being a Christian is now considered and lumped together as "white supremacy". Everything the Bible frowns at is being shamelessly celebrated and everything the Bible teaches is being challenged, including creation. They even sometimes claim that Bible is anti science and that the believe in a higher being is simplistic and moronic, to say the least. They are doing whatever they can to ensure that Christianity is diminished to such extent that people become ashamed of identifying as Christians. 

So, British Broadcasting Corporation and whoever conducted the survey did not and couldn't find young Christians to also ask in the survey if they too are also praying more than their Christian adults counterparts? Possibly, they were afraid of finding young Westerners who they have since brainwashed into abandoning the Christian faith, and made a calculated decision not to embarrass themselves or skew the outcome of their already predetermined survey slant. They wanted a story in that line and they went for the lowest handing fruits that will give them what they desired. 

It is the game they play, set up a declared story and then find the target people to fill in the blanks. They wanted a story that conveys a message that the coronavirus pandemic made people so afraid that they embraced prayers more, clinging unto it to find solace in an otherwise pandemic distorted and disorientated world. But unfortunately, their idea of "young people who now pray more than adults" did not include young Christian Westerners, as it is apparent that only Muslims and Hindus qualified for their survey. 

One of the Muslim girl surveyed said that her faith means stability for her as it is the only thing that she knows that is stable and clear. According to her, every time she watches television news, there is always something negative going on and she feels that it is only in her prayers that she have clarity. Further, that she knows that religion is a guaranteed, stabilizing thing in life and she uses it to find some grounding and solace. In fact she said that her faith is her anchor in life, the reason she prays without ceasing. 

So, does it mean that her Christian Western counterparts do not agree with her or is it the reason there is a lot of social upheaval and disorder in the West, with a lot of drug and alcohol use, anger, suicides and bloody violence? Are Christian Western young people so far removed from God and prayers that they have become despondent and in their devastated state of self help, have become hopeless that they are seeking answers to many questions without finding them and resorting to self destruct as a means to an end. 

Being anchor-less and left adrift in the ocean of confusion without God and prayers, is this why   they cannot find solace in alcohol and drugs, leading to rising suicides and gun and knife violence. Is it time we seek God in his full glory and ask Him to come back and take control of our lives and save us from our helplessness and hopelessness, since we cannot do much by only the strength of our sinews. Could this possibly be why other religions adherents seem to have all the answers, the reason there is less suicides, drug use and gun and knife violence among them. 

Our media must help us get a handle on the steadily eroding and imploding Western civilization. They must stop the incessant attacks on God, Christianity, principles and teachings of the Bible which have helped sustain Western civilization for as long as it have lasted. For example, supplanting Sodom and Gomorrah with open homosexuality or creation with evolutionary nonsensical are attacks on the root of Christianity which has eroded faith in Christianity, admitted Catholic priests molestations of alter boys did not help matters. BBC should have made their survey more comprehensive and even if young Christians said otherwise, they would have still included them in the report for an all balanced outcome. 

They did not interview them and it telegraphed a message that either they could not find young Christians to interview or Christianity no longer matters in the Western world and have now been replaced by Islam and Hinduism. It is ominous because once the strong pedestal upon which Western civilization was founded is eroded completely, the civilization will collapse. Religion, language and culture are the bedrock of any society and to a large extent a civilization; but Western media is steadily chipping away at this foundation and filling it up with values which were hitherto considered and seen as alien. 

There is nothing that is exclusive any more in the Western world, a matter made worse because other civilizations are not exposing themselves to these incursions. What will happen the day these alien values completely submerges Western values that they replaced them. The down fall of the Western civilization will not come through a military defeat, but it is gradually picking up steam in the form of metastasizing divergent cultures, religions and languages. These erosions  might someday progress to a situation where the falcon cannot hear the falconer and the center cannot hold, as mere anarchy descends upon the earth. What we our fate be.

It is not too late to start steering the ship off the trajectory it is barreling, towards the iceberg. No one is saying not to allow others to thrive, but ours must not be allowed to die. Our young people should be encouraged and taught the values which have carried us through this far, including the believe in God and Christianity. They should not be isolated and left out in surveys about young people praying more than adults because Christianity is a religion and Christians pray and we have young Christians as well. Out young Christians are part of the young people of the world, especially in the United Kingdom where they were the subject of the survey. If we do not protect our own, nobody will do it for us.  BBC, it is a shame. 

RYDER CUP BACK IN THE USA: CONGRATULATIONS.

ICHEOKU says an all male and all whites team wins Golf's Ryder Cup for the United States of America. When will Black Lives Matter and those far left feminists trouble makers take to the street in protest of lack of equity and the need for the team to in fact truly reflect their America? America can be better when the Woke culture which is wrecking havoc in the society is brought to an end; and let Americans be Americans. Congratulations Team USA.
