SUSAN WENGER, THE WHITE PRIESTESS OF AN AFRICAN GODDESS, PASSES ON!


Susan was a great cultural devotee of the sacred deity, which she single-handedly gave a new lease of life and through her best effort, was enlisted into UNESCO as a World Heritage Center in 2005. It was to her credit that the Osun River Grove has been preserved for posterity and has also become world renown. Susan was a strong influence on the cultural rebirth that transformed the Osun River Grove into a forest of exciting artistic enclave. She personified “the spirit of the sacred grove", the river goddess to which she dedicated nearly her entire adult life, worshipping and adoring.
In accordance with her instruction, Susan Wenger was buried immediately following her death, at a private burial in a discreet, unmarked grave inside the Osun River grove; without any fanfare or ceremony.

IGBOS OF NIGERIA, A ROYAL ADVISE FOR YOU!

According to the royal father, the Igbo people are chasing very narrow individual and sectional interests, while their counterparts in Nigeria are integrating and building alliances towards advancing their own common interest. This ugly phenomenon he noted, is manifested in every aspect of the Igbo man's life - in business, politics, church and the creation of autonomous communities and traditional rulers. Continuing His Royal Highness said that Ohanaeze Ndigbo appears to be losing its voice and convening power as an Igbo umbrella organization; noting that even the golden opportunity for the creation of a sixth state in the South-East is now tearing the Igbos apart as they, the Igbos have become so atomized that they are now almost irrelevant in the affairs of Nigeria.
Concluding, the Agbogidi emphasised that Igbos must urgently and seriously ponder wither they are going as a people in Nigeria, otherwise they might become completely isolated almost into a total irrelevancy. Icheoku says, speak on Obi of Onitsha nay Obi of Igboland, as you correctly articulated the unenviable doldrums into which the Igbo-man has put himself in today's Nigeria. It is so painful that they do not even realise the depth of the shit-hole they have dug for themselves by their complete lack of cohesiveness, lack of a common purpose and lack of one central voice that speaks for them as a people. It is regrettable that the Igbos of the era of Nnamdi Azikwe, M.I. Okpara, Akanu Ibiam, K.O. Mbadiwe, Dee Onunaka Mbakwe, Dennis Osadebey, Mbazulike Amechi, Osita Agwuna, are no more and the few other remaining leaders like CC Onoh, Charles Abangwu, Nwafor Orizu etc are of too weary bones now to continue to push the Igbo agenda forward and (Igbotically) patriotically.
Icheoku affirms that what is left today, is a disorganized, dysfunctional and confused people whose only stock-value now is how much money do I have or can I make? The Igbo man's mad chase of money has compromised the Igbo integrity so much that a few shekels of silver is all that the average Igbo Joe needs to sell his brother short. A nation where known criminals including 419 operators are made traditional rulers of communities with chieftaincy titles bought and sold from and by known traditionalists cannot survive muster. This unholy celebration of money in Igboland without any question as to the source is the knife that has cut deep in Igbo man's integrity. The Igbos, like the biblical Esau has sold their oneness for a pot of porridge and hence has been given a basement-position in Nigeria today, below even the Ijaw-man! It has been conclusively permuted by the other more astute component parts of Nigeria that the Igboman lacks unity of purpose and hence can do no harm; trust Icheoku, they are cashing in on that to further emasculate the Igbos.
Icheoku is afraid, the sink-hole where the Igbos now find themselves in Nigeria is so bottomless that, it may be very difficult for them to dig themselves out of it. It will take a Divine intervention or something so drastic to shake them to their existential-foundations, with the potential to obliterate them totally, for them to ever stand a fighting-chance again in Nigeria as a collective people in pursuit of one common objective. Like Jesus said, "it is finished" and Icheoku is afraid the Igbos of Nigeria brought this unto themselves by their "I" and not "We" line of pursuit and action in Nigeria! Igbos should start once again to "Kwenu`ing" and seriously mean it as a tree does not make a forest no matter the size. An army of people is always stronger than a person and the Igbo man should drive this truism into their skull for any prospective future in Nigeria.
DIVORCED AND PROUD NIGERIANS!

LIBERIAN TERRORIST GOES AWAY FOR GOOD!


As head of Liberia's "elite" paramilitary unit that doubles as anti-terrorist services unit during his father's 1997-2003 despotic rule, Chuckie was solely responsible for keeping his father in power by viciously cutting down every opposition, both imaginary and real. Before sentencing, Chuckie fearfully pleaded for forgiveness, saying "Sorry to my brothers for what happened during the 1






NIGERIA, A REQUIEM OR NUNC DIMITTIS?



Now that the agitation for Nigerians to go their separate ways has gone a full circle, from the north to the west to the south to the east, Icheoku asks, what is then holding it up? Let the truth be told, none of the component constituents which make up the present Nigeria is impressed with one another - no, they resent each other and very much. They hold one another with a contemptible suspicion and will not hesitate to stick it to one another whenever the circumstance present itself. The supposed harmony and peace of the grave-yard in Nigeria is based on the existing leech-like relationship between the arid north and the richly-endowed south. The lazy parasitic north depends on the resources in the south south to survive, hence will not accede to balkanization of Nigeria because they will starve to death. But should the rest of the country be continuously held hostage by the selfish northern oligarchy? Only time will tell!

NIGERIA, WHAT A HELMET?

A GERMAN BILLIONAIRE COMMITS SUICIDE!

A German billionaire, Adolf Merckle pictured here top left, committed suicide after his business empire, which included interests ranging from pharmaceuticals to cement, ran into trouble amidst the current global financial crisis. His weapon of choice, a fast moving train similar to the one pictured here below, which he threw himself in front of and was crushed to death near his villa in Blaubeuren-Weller. Blaubeuren-Weller, in the state of Baden-Württemberg is about 100 miles west of Munich in southwestern Germany.

Adolf Merckle, 74, was ranked as the world's 94th richest person in 2008, with a personal fortune, estimated at $9.2 billion, according to Forbes magazine. According to his family's statement announcing his death, "Adolf Merckle lived and worked for his family and his firms; the distress to his firms caused by the financial crisis and the related uncertainties of recent weeks, along with the helplessness of no longer being able to handle the situation, broke the passionate family businessman, and he ended his life.” The police in Ulm confirmed that his suicide note has been found but has not made the contents public. A native of Dresden, Mr. Adolf Merckle made his way to Western Germany after World War II, where he parlayed his family business in chemicals into one of the biggest pharmaceutical concerns in the world. He built his family’s small pharmaceutical business into a 120-firm conglomerate employing 100,000 people. He was regarded as a modest man who frequently bicycled to work. His business empire also included HeidelbergCement, the company that bought the once mighty British conglomerate Hanson with more than €10 ($15) billion in sales, Ratiopharm, a recognized generics-drugs maker that became a brand unto itself with about €2 ($3) billion in revenue and Phoenix, a drugs wholesaler with about €20 ($30) billion in revenue. Mr. Adolf Merckle also owned stakes in companies that made a wide array of goods from all-terrain vehicles, software to textiles. In addition to his personal worth estimated at more than $9 billion by Forbes magazine, his companies’ combined turnover was in excess of $40 billion, making him Germany’s fifth richest man! The last weeks of his life were spent with his holding company, VEM Vermögensverwaltung wrangling with a consortium of banks for a bridge-loan that would secure credit for his companies, following the global financial meltdown. He was to lose some of his company holdings as a result of the restructuring but which outcome he would rather not see; - his businesses being consumed as a result of disastrous investments and the global financial crisis. Mr. Merckle also lost several hundreds of millions of dollars last year in a misplaced stock-market bets in Volkswagen AG, in which he wagered that the stock price would fall. According to people with knowledge about the matter, the stock instead skyrocketed in what market participants have described as one of the most dramatic short squeezes ever. As Mr. Merckle grew increasingly desperate to keep his empire afloat, he lobbied the regional government in his home state of Baden-Württemberg late last year for temporary financial backing but to no avail; culminating to his death by suicide on Monday, January 5th, 2009. Icheoku asks, did Adolf Merckle sell his soul to the devil of his vast financial empire? How could a billionaire who came to this world with nothing be so distrust that he cannot survive on a few hundreds of millions of dollars less, that he would rather jump in front of a fast moving train? Even if it had meant liquidating or winding-down, any option would have been better than smashing oneself in front of a moving train. That he was facing the possibility of an imminent dismantling of his vast financial and business empire as well as the sale of major holdings in one of his flag-ship company is not a sufficient justification for what his family is now being forced to deal with. According to one analyst, who like Icheoku, could not understand why a billionaire should kill himself because of economic downturn, Mr. Adolf Merckle probably had other issues bothering him and the current economic crisis provided him with the much needed tipping-point to go over the cliff's edge. Mr. Adolf Merckle was survived by his wife and four children. Icheoku does not understand the justification for this suicide as there is nothing to try to understand; however to the bereaved family, we say, seek the face of the Lord for solace as you bear the loss of your patriarch! Please accept our condolence!
