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

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

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

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

CONRAD MURRAY'S GUILTY VERDICT, NOT BY JURY OF HIS PEERS?

Icheoku asks was he singled out for prosecution just because of who he is and that the prosecutor's "child-molesting and hated" Michael Jackson was involved? Icheoku asks were Dr Murray a white doctor, would the prosecution have brought charges against him and if yes, why were those doctors involved in Keith Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith, Tina Marie and a host of Hollywood death by overdose not prosecuted; and in London no one has told of any ongoing prosecutorial action against the doctor who prescribed Amy Winehouse the drugs on which she overdosed? Anyway Dr Murray is just another black man who has to be put away and a jury technically not his peers, sat in judgment over him and convicted him.

Icheoku says technically not his peers because eleven of the twelve jurors were not black people and so would not understand the peculiar hard rock and the deep sea of a place Murray, a brother, was facing trying to provide service to another brother, a distrust Michael pigeonholed by an unforgiving society that condemned him for a trumped-up child molestation charges from which he never really recovered until he died. Icheoku says a jury of his peers should ordinarily be black people who have experienced America for what it is and not people of other colors. Moreso the judge is not black and so is the prosecutor and the defense; and you wonder whether the medical doctor got a fair shake for his unintentional conduct that led to death of someone already on death-row, all things considered. As far as Icheoku is concerned, Michael was killed and already dead the day they accused him of child molestation, which forced him into a completely secluded weirdo-world which turned him into pills-dependent brittle personality.

Admitted Murray did what professionally he should not have done, but Icheoku strongly opines that he should not have been prosecuted in the first place and at best on a lesser charge of misdemeanor negligence. So it is not justice served when a black doctor is convicted for unintentional death of another black man since no such prosecution has ever been carried out in other death by overdose drugs cases prior. However, Icheoku believes that the defense team insulted the intelligence of the jury when they tried to pin culpability on a dead Michael as the person who injected himself with the killer-Propofol. Icheoku says the Michael the world knew and watched until death took him, could not have personally injected himself when he had a highly paid physician in the person of the accused on standby to give him his medications as and at when needed. Anyway, an imprisoned man is still better than a dead man and hopefully Dr Conrad Murray would do his time and upon release, seek a rehabilitation both within his profession and society at large.

HERMAN CAIN FINALLY ENTERS THE CRUCIBLE, ATTACK INTENSIFIES.

Icheoku says you know you are on top when all the darts are directed at you from all corners, trying to get you out the way. Godfather pizza owner and Republican Party's presidential candidate wanna-be, Herman Cain, just found out what it means to be number one. Leading the presidential candidates wanna-be has brought the hammer hard down on him and now allegations after allegations are being piled on him by detractors bent on sabotaging his campaign and stopping a possible rumble in the jungle of two African American candidates contesting the presidency in 2012. 

The good ole boys Republican Party establishment would rather be found dead than to guarantee a nigger occupying "their" White House in 2012 with President Barack Obama squaring it off with fellow African-American Herman Cain. What they did was to line up women of easy virtue to put pressure on Herman Cain and force his withdrawal. Anyway uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, so it is Herman Cain's decision to make whether he is tough enough or to simply save his skin and scamper out of the kitchen before the sink starts flying his way, as they are going to throw whatever they can lay their hands on to get him out. They are not taking chances this time having been surprised beyond belief with President Obama's win in 2008; after not giving him the slightest chance of winning that election and against the Clinton machine. 

Icheoku says it is for Herman Cain to prove by staying the course that he is tough enough to take on President Obama and tough enough to be president should the inexplicable and unexpected happen - but only if beggars are kings! Herman Cain, just hang in there; afterall you have nothing to loose that you have not lost. It is a hatchet job or modern day lynching by those good ole white boys who are financing Mitt Romney and wants to rid "their" White House of colored people.

DAVID MARK, NIGERIA'S SENATE PRESIDENT, IS A HOMO-PHOBE?

Icheoku says regrettably the Nigeria Senate President, Senator David Mark, missed the point or rather exposed his ignorance about homosexuality when he inferred that people are gay simply because of lack or their inability to find opposite-sex partners? According to this former army man, “There are enough men and women to marry each other," and therefore  gays have no basis of being gays and should therefore not be gays anymore? Senator David Mark  hardline position in denying God's children their legitimate fundamental human-rights to marry each other, in pursuit of happiness and love, which being gay has been declared by the United Nations to be, stems from the fact that he failed to understand that being gay is not a choice. It is rather a function of being born that way - gay people were wired from conception to be gay. It is in their DNA; it is a biological makeup and their constitution to tilt and gravitate towards same-sex.

Icheoku is emphatic that it has been scientifically established that biological or animalistic impulse rather than other suggested Sodomic obsession that attracts gay people to one another. Put in another way, gay people are not atypical heterosexual people and this alone is sufficient to make the David Marks of this world to learn how to be more accommodating and tolerant of people who are somewhat different from him and prefers differently. Majority of gay people, if they had a choice, would rather go straight; but they do not feel the magnetic pull provided by opposite sex and the Bible recorded homosexualism as an existent way of life even before the coming of Jesus Christ. Like prostitution which is reputed to be the oldest profession, gaydom has been part of mankind dating back to recorded history and as chronicled in the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah. Icheoku must however add that the two cities were not destroyed just because of homosexualism alone, admitted it probably was part of the reason and the fact that God could not find ten honest people therein. So any person, including Senator David Mark, who parleys this biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah as being synonymous to homosexualism is economic with the truth and should revisit that biblical passage in Genesis Chapter 18 & 19 and see for himself/herself that sodomy was just an a part but not the whole reason for God's intervention. 


At a time when the whole world including the Vatican is becoming more inclusive and looking for a meaningful way to fully accommodate all God's children irrespective of their private life, David Mark's Nigeria is publicly standing naked and alone, as a country which harbors seething anti-gay views and whose leadership is bigoted against people born that way. A statement as awful as "Gay is offensive to our culture and tradition" will definitely send a rude shock to notable gay men like Sir Elton John, knighted by the Queen of England; and you tell Icheoku what his reaction would be to any of his funds-manager contemplating to make some investments in Nigeria? And to deny that so many gay men and women are venture capitalists and control some enormous resources and impressive capital the world over is to understate the obvious. Icheoku says any savvy political leader in Senator David Mark's position would have kept his views on this subject matter private and his opinion personal; mindful of the reach and interpretation such expressed opinion might elicit and being interpreted as the official Nigeria government position on the gay community. It is called political correctness in manner of speaking, required of every public official as both straights and 'born this ways' are all people under their authority and deserve to be evenly protected. Icheoku says judgment is mine says the Lord and no human-being including Senator David Mark should arrogate to himself the right to treat fellow human-beings as less human-beings, unclean, unworthy or even a taboo; admitted the Dalits of India are suffering the same inhuman treatment in India. 


The entire humanity inhabiting this planet earth are in it together, yoked together by fate to all that exist in this world, including but not limited to sexual preferences. Modern world is all about inclusiveness and not isolation or segregation. Icheoku says if the church could accept homosexuals as full members of the church and some churches even took it a notch further by ordaining 'born-this-ways' clergy, who is Senator David Mark of Nigeria to demean this group of God's children? Senator David Mark proclaimed Christianity as his authority for discriminating against God's own children; but regrettably he failed or did not read that verse in the Bible where God ordered Peter not to call his children unclean ( Acts 10:9-19); and Jesus also admonished that he came for those who are sick and not the holier than thou sanctimonious people like the David Marks of this world. What is marriage but the union of any two units whether of objects of persons; hence the word couple which means to join together. If anyone wants to marry even his rat or her goat, it is okay by Icheoku provided it is left that way and not encroach on other peoples right to freely choose who or what their partners would be. It simply does not and should not matter whether a person is straight or crooked - all that the world needs is love.


Icheoku says if Senator David Marks claims that his particular Christian faith abhors homosexualism and that their way of life is incomprehensible to him, it is okay, provided he spoke within the confines of his opinion only. But he however would cross the line if he tries to pass his opinion off as that of the entire populace or  portray Nigerians whom he represents as their senate president as anti-gay people who are opposed to gay peoples' fundamental human rights.  Senator David Mark should be mindful of the fact that Nigeria does not belong to Christians alone or his brand of Christianity to be precise; and that their morals is not the new laws of Nigeria. Also he should not hold other peoples interests and fundamental human rights hostage to his Christian views and ideology. 


Probably, his Christian faith does not approve of Catholic priests raping and molesting alter boys, yet he has not denounced them with similar venom or threaten to outlaw marriages contracted under the faith? Endemic corruption in Nigeria is possibly abhorred by his Christian faith, yet it thrives and grows in bounds and reap? What about cheating on spouses or people keeping mistresses, divorces as well as other legion of vices and societal madness which go on indiscriminately in Nigeria despite David Mark's Christian faith? Icheoku says for this David Mark to just single out the gay community as the people to pummel is rather very unfortunate and in a country that is not and should not be beholden to one particular ideology or unitary morality source.  If David Mark "cannot be a party to it (same-sex)," he should not be and no one is compelling him or trying to; but he should let others who possibly have differing opinions and views to express them and he should not muzzle or try to intimidate such divergent views with his official position. 


The last time Icheoku checked, there is no place in Christendom that approves of military coup de tat as an approved manner of changing governments, yet this David Mark had participated in so many coups in Nigeria as to disqualify him from holding any office in a democratic Nigeria including its senate presidency. So who is now preaching to the choir but a holier than thou Saint Senator David Mark? If homosexualism is an "importation of foreign culture," Icheoku asks, is presidential democracy indigenous to Nigeria? Monogamy is not  part of Nigeria's culture but it is an acceptable way of life; admitted that both spouses cheat on each other with numerous partners and concubines. How about the myriad of other foreign cultures which have taken over Nigeria landscape and who is this man to say that being gay is "a freedom too many?" Is Christianity Nigerian or an imported religion? The clothes on David Marks back is equally alien, likewise the limousine that drives him about. If David Mark wants to explore culture or foreign influence on Nigeria, Icheoku is ready to debate him any day any time; but resents the singling out of a minority group to scapegoat them using the the ruse of culture. 


Reiterating, Icheoku says there is nothing "offensive and/or repugnant" with being biologically so wired to be attracted to the same-sex; admitted it goes against some societal ingrained position that opposite attracts. If David Mark has any question or beef with the ways or manner and wisdom of God, who also created homosexual people, he should quietly direct his questions to God in prayers; but he must cease and desist from threatening and disturbing the peace of "born this ways" of Nigeria. David Mark should leave Nigerian LGBT community alone to live happily with whoever they choose or prefer to share their love with. If David Mark wants to preach against homosexualism through the streets of Ashkelon or to publish his hatred and contempt for these children of God in Garth, he is free to so do; but he must cease and desist from passing his views off or seen to be speaking in his official capacity as that of the Nigeria government or Nigerians for that matter. 


Icheoku says it is not only homosexualism that David Mark was not aware where it came from, therefore his particular pre-knowledge is not a necessary prerequiste to confer it approval. Shamelessly his acolyte Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, PDP Cross River, naively posited “If we are all same sex how do we produce human beings who have human rights?”  In response, Icheoku says, the problem with Nigeria is the type and calibre of  people in leadership positions such as this Ndoma-Egba, who is now trivializing such a far reaching fundamental human right issue in this manner? By the same token, would this Ndoma-Egba have asked 'if all Nigerians are reverend fathers and sisters, how would they produce people to populate Nigeria?' It is just mind-boggling that the issue of freedom of sexuality in Nigeria is being discussed in this puerile manner by people in authority, knowing fully well the far-reaching effect to Nigeria's image and economy such could cause. Icheoku therefore calls on Senator David Mark to allow an open, free and uninhibited debate and vote on same sex marriage in Nigeria and let the tree fall where it may. David Mark and his types in Nigeria should know that there is nothing abnormal in same sex attraction neither is it a taboo for any of God's children to love whoever they are attracted to. Just get over it, Senator Homophobe and please next time, just keep your opinion private and to yourself. It is called political correctness in manner of speaking required of public officials and a leader should not discriminate or seen to discriminate especially against less powerful minority members of the polity which he leads.

MARK SELL AND LOUDOUN COUNTY VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS WANT OBAMA DEAD?

MARK SELL AND LOUDOUN COUNTY VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS WANT OBAMA DEAD? Icheoku says were the image merely a cartoon, without the added bullet hole in the head, just like the other depictions, Icheoku would not have any beef with it; but explain it away as Halloween related. But to just single out President Barack Hussein Obama's image as the only one with a bullet driven right into the right cranial wall of his temple is just another example of lunatic racist Virginians who would rather have "THAT ONE" nigger dead than to remain in their White House. The thought and the act are both evil, inexplicable and inexcusable; and may the good Lord continue to guide and protect the president against all such evil machination and evil doers like Mark Sell, chairman of Loudoun County Virgina Republican committee. Icheoku says if this is his idea of a joke, then he doesn't deserve his place chairing a Republican committee and should RESIGN his office immediately; otherwise all Republicans in Loudoun County Virginia stand accused, tainted and incohoot with this death wish on Mister President. What a racist jerk this human excrement is that calls himself Mark Sell and just as his name says, he just sold out Virginian Republicans as evil people that would wish death on the president.

BUHARI SOBERED DOWN BY DEATH OF MENTOR, GADDAFI?

Reliable sources tell Icheoku that Imam Muhammadu Buhari greatly felt and mourned the loss of former Libyan "strongman" Moummar Gaddafi, the man bankrolling all Islamic escapades in Africa including the several attempted Aso Rock hijack by Buhari? If only Nigerian security operatives had traced the source of funds used by Buhari to prosecute his three times presidential campaign, their searchlight would have pointed to Tripoli. Anyway with Gaddafi now out of the way, Icheoku cannot wait to see from where the Imam would yet again finance his upcoming 2015 presidential bid.

PRESIDENT OBAMA ELBOWS CHINA, SAYS THEY RACE TO THE BOTTOM?

“We should not be in a race to the bottom where we take pride in having the cheapest labor and the most polluted air and the least protected consumers.” Icheoku says the jab was well delivered and hopefully China got it that they should stop slave-laboring their populace just for the benefit of the world and their bank reserve.

PAT ROBERTSON DUELS RUSH LIMBAUGH AGAIN?

PAT ROBERTSON DUELS RUSH LIMBAUGH AGAIN? "Those people in the Republican primary have got to lay off of this far right stuff. They're forcing their leaders, the front-runners, into positions that will mean they lose the general election. You appeal to the narrow base and they applaud the daylights out of what you're saying, and then you hit the general election and they'll say no way. They've got to stop this far right extremism! It's just so counterproductive. Well, if they want to lose, this is the game for losers." 

Icheoku says the message, "Stop pandering to the far right or lose in 2012," coming from a fundamentalism-personified Pat Robertson, should be more than enough to drive the message home into the cranial recesses of the Republican wanna-be presidential candidates, that they are running on empty. Extremists' votes, whether of the far right or far left, never puts anyone in the White House and 2012 will not be any exception. It appears Pat Robertson has once again deliberately taken the other corner of the ring opposite Rush Limbaugh, whose view is that those Republican candidates are not far-right enough and should accordingly move further further away right and to the tipping edge of far right extremism. Icheoku notes that this would not be the first time both men have sparred or disagreed on an issue. The other time when radio talking head Limbaugh said he wants Obama to fail, Pat took umbrage at the remark saying, "That was a terrible thing to say. I mean, he's the president of all the country. If he succeeds, the country succeeds. And if he doesn't, it hurts us all. Anybody who would pull against our president is not exactly thinking rationally." Peradventure Pat Robertson has at last acknowledged that Rush Limbaugh is missing some nuts and bolts in his brains; or did he just say that Rush Limbaugh is suffering from some mental retardation induced by illicit drugs ingestion? Icheoku is just asking.

PETITE & PETTY PUTIN, GOES PUERILE WITH FOREIGN POLICY TRUST?

PETITE & PETTY PUTIN, GOES PUERILE WITH FOREIGN POLICY TRUST? Icheoku says the waiting in the wings President of Russia who just traded places with his boy Medvedev has veered off the reservation by calling Americans obese. Instead of confining his press conference on policies and his incoming government's thrust, Vladimir Putin was busy asking America to tackle its obesity problems? Icheoku says at no time did the effort being made by America for Russia to reform its judicial system mention the debauchery, lewdness, organized crime and drunkenness which afflict the greater Russian society; yet here is Putin talking about obese Americans? In his words, Putin said "I can tell these critics - and they are clearly unscrupulous critics: you know what, mind your own business. Fight growing inflation, a growing state debt, obesity." 

Icheoku says it is unacceptable and clearly antagonistic for this little man of Kremlin to take a jab at America's social underbelly, reminding us that we are a country of huge people. Needless to add that a country has to have enough food for her people to eat first before they could pack some pounds and Russians are not so seemingly blessed. Whatever he thinks his second or third coming as the chief pilot in Kremlin will bring to Russia or the world, it will only be in his mind as the world has since moved on in his absence. Luckily enough China is there strongly marching on and would not allow KGB Putin driven Russia to disturb its groove as an undeniable contender to the United States. Uncle Putin, no one is intimidated by your shirtless torso and be reminded that the cold-war era is since gone and you need to change your mindset from confrontation to that of corporation that is necessary for the building of lasting relationships and institutions that would endure and help move Russia and its people into the new century. Icheoku also wonders what the average Joe-Russian really feels or thinks about the switching of chairs between Putin and Medvedev; or are they the only wise men in Russia who could preside over the ship of the state?

GADDAFI'S UNDIGNIFIED LYING IN STATE, SAVAGERY OF THE LIBYAN PEOPLE?

Once again Icheoku wears the hat of an advocate for human rights as well as an apostle of societal decency and condemns the Libyans for failing not only Gaddafi but the world in general in the macabre exhibition they put up with the lynched body of Moummar Gaddafi. Icheoku says but for the onset of secondary stage of decomposition, putrefaction, those Libyans would have continued in their deathly-orgy/reverie till their Allah knows when. Thankfully, albeit ironical, they were forced by Gaddafi's death-stench and unraveling anatomy to rush it off to a hurried burial in an unmarked desert-grave in the Sahara. At one stage in the goriness, Icheoku feared that those Libyans would start carving up Gaddafi's carcass for a feast or as a keepsake trophy? Gladly enough it did not get to that scale; except of course they refused to or did not capture the cannibalization on camera?

Osama Bin Laden at least got a sea burial in the Arabia sea; Saddam Hussein was privileged to have a tombstone erected for him in his native Tikrit burial place; but as for Gaddafi, he was not fortunate as his partially decomposed body is now being roasted under piles of hot desert sand dunes. Unlike the other two bad people who were executed by professionals with more humane strikes, Gaddafi was lynched by a vengeful mob and lived through a timeline of a very painful death. The process that led to his death and not his actual death, which he richly deserve, is where Icheoku has beef with those Libyans.  It is Icheoku's position is that a former head of government should not be laid waste in such a brutal and unceremonious manner or murdered before a watching world and his body forever disappeared under the desert sands. As far as Icheoku is concerned, such tabooed  display of Gaddafi's body in a meat freezer, is the height of wanton disregard and a desecration of the human dead. Even President Obama acknowledged this when he said "I think that there's a certain decorum with which you treat the dead even if it's somebody who has done terrible things." Unfortunately however this cannon of civility was lost on the Libyan people who were incensed by Gaddafi's decades of oppression  to the point that they lost their humanity.

How could anybody so dishonor a dead body, displaying it like a game ready to be carved up; and in such a distasteful manner that the once hated man of Libya is suddenly getting more sympathizers from people who felt that NATO encouraged this barbarianism by deliberately bombing a fleeing head of state's convoy, deliberately choosing not killing him but leaving him as a quarry for approaching Libyan mob to harvest? Icheoku says freedom fighters do not take blind revenge hence our use of the word mob. The NATO fighter planes knew exactly who was in that convoy before targeting it and some few phone calls went by directing the revolutionary soldiers to their game numero uno and the rest as they say is now history. 

However, Icheoku is not particularly happy that the so called Muslim country of Libya could be this barbaric, feasting the dead body of a human-being, and to the extent that they threw their Islamic injunction of burial within few few hours of mortis out the door? Even Osama Bin Laden enjoyed a quick Islamic burial without having the indignity of his body decaying in  a public view and in a public place, being viewed and photographed by the filing Libyan public. It was a viewing, but unlike normal funerals that usually take place in funeral parlors, his was inside a meat storage facility; where he was laid out on a thin dirty mattress alongside his also murdered son. The purpose being for Libyans to behold and confirm that the man who kept them fearfully guessing all through the past forty-two years is no more. Leading one satisfied Libyan to say, "This is his destiny because of all the evil he has done. God made the pharaoh as an example to the others. If he had been a good man, we would have buried him. But he chose this destiny for himself." 

Icheoku says no reason or excuse whatsoever is good enough or capable of explaining away the damage caused to the psyche by the goriness that was in display in Libya; and Libyans would henceforth be known as people who rejoice in the death of another. Icheoku also believes that if the unpreserved body of Moummar Gaddafi has not reached an advanced stage of decomposition that those death-enjoying Libyans would still have kept him displayed. It is also a well known fact that Moummar Gaddafi's traducers are not in short supply; leading one to explain away the exhibition of Gaddafi's body in the following manner - "Forty-two dark years under a merciless dictator has naturally left the Libyan people very damaged, it has driven them mad for revenge. The rotting body is just emblematic of the rotten political and social environment under Gaddafi." 

Icheoku asks but does his ruthlessness justify the sight of a naked Gaddafi stewing in his bodily fluids, which molested every decent person's sensibility and made humanity look terrible? And Libyans are Muslims? Icheoku asks were it America that so killed a Muslim leader, heaven would be going deaf with protests, flag-burning and all such other querulous protestations and demands  to observe the Muslim code of conduct as it relates to a quick burial of the deceased body. Or is there double-standards and different rules when it comes to the application of the requirement of a quick burial, when a non-Muslim country is involved with a dead Muslim? Icheoku says if not, why then did Muslims the world over not shout themselves hoarse in protestations, when the dead Muslim Gaddafi was lynched by his fellow Muslim Libyans who proceeded to keep his cadaver displayed, half-naked and publicly for five days? Why was it okay for Muslims to carry out such act as goes contrary to Islamic teaching but it is not okay for non-Muslims to do so?  Icheoku is still at sea that Gaddafi's body was left in a meat storage facility for that long and without preservation; publicly displayed while people filed mockingly past, jeering and cheering as they take photographs of the dead Gaddafis as keepsakes.

REPUBLICANS WILL ABANDON YOU - PRESIDENT OBAMA.

"The one thing that we absolutely know for sure is that if we don’t work even harder than we did in 2008, then we’re going to have a government that tells the American people, ‘you are on your own.' If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t afford college, you’re on your own. If you don’t like that some corporation is polluting your air or the air that your child breathes, then you’re on your own. That’s not the America I believe in. It’s not the America you believe in.” That is vintage President Obama at a W-Hotel San Francisco fundraising luncheon today, pointing out the stark realities of having a Republican in the White House. It is the real choice facing America in 2012 as it chooses between a government that cares and that which tells you to go figure it out on your own and without anybody assisting you.? Icheoku agrees that we all need some shoulders to lean on every once in a while; and that a caring President Obama is far better a choice, than all or any of the uncaring and inhumane Republican candidates jostling to occupy a seat which is not and will not be vacated in 2011!,

JEWISH LAWYER GOES BERSERK OVER DIVORCE, WIPES OUT FAMILY!

Sam Friedlander shot his kids, Molly and Gregory, dead in their beds, according to police.Icheoku was about to question the murder/suicide of Westchester New York Jewish lawyer Samuel Friedlander, but recalled that we all are somewhat mad but we just try to mask it as we go about our daily chores, pretending to be sane? One popular aphorism says that anyone can remain an angel when his or her feathers have not been ruffled which leads Icheoku to a criminal intent provocation classroom several decades ago when a professor affirmed the general insanity of man and the daily struggle to tame it as well as contain it. 

That a lawyer who ought to know better being an officer of the law, blessed with two beautiful kids - just look at those two little angels especially the girl in lime green; and you tell me how anyone could have visited harm on any of them except that person has lost his center of equilibrium and has completely gone cuckoo? That to Icheoku is the state Attorney Friedlander entered in when he took up a 12-gauge shotgun and blasted these little children out of this earth and thereafter bludgeoned their mother to an awful death with a tow by four or waht appears to be a chair leg? According to a friend of the suicide who expressed shock that lawyer Friedlander could harm these kids, "If Friedlander had only killed his wife I would have baked him a cafe with a file in it; but it is unimaginable that his gentle soul could harm those kids. I can;t figure that out. The only thing I could think of is that when he killed her, the switch went out. It wasn't Sam who killed those kids, it was his body, but it wasn't him. A case of uncontrolled motors which is atypical of "not his act" insanity defense? 

As with most cases in this genre, a bitter DIVORCE is to blame as the estranged wife kept on piling on him according to friends privileged of their acquaintance, until he snapped and lost his humanity; turning into the murderous beast which took the lives of this two young and beautiful children as well as the "bitch" who otherwise made him lose his mind; before turning a Remington 870 pistol on himself. Icheoku says what a life of no meaning we live in; yet some people pretend otherwise as if theirs is honky-dory. To make matters worst, instead of one of the parties moving out of their house, they decided to ride it out as co-habitators with each living in a separate bedroom but shared the common areas such as the kitchen, garage etc. Icheoku says if you have never been in a situation where you are tired-sick of seeing a person around you, you will not know how provocative it could be and the easiness with which this Westchester murder/suicide took place. Smart people, whenever they are done with each other, will endeavor to move very far away from each other as to not unexpectedly bump into each other say like in a grocery store. That way it is easier to have a clean break for the healing process to begin and begin earnestly. But the let us tough it out crazies, who like the two foolish goats on the bridge would not bulge, most always end up this way. Human-beings are beasts except that in their moment of lucid intervals or lucidity, they put on a mask of sanity and pretend to be what they are not. 

Some estranged wives sometimes use such intervals of tensed co-habitation to really drive their estranged husbands into lunacy-land with unceasing nagging, delirious and derisive bursts of intermittent laughters for no apparent reason, putting on the light at odd periods, playing the music especially the man's least favorite so loud it irritates and for those spouses out to get you, bringing home her new dates or making her latest love-interest and romance so public that it catches the man's attention. Sometimes some women try to turn the children against their dad and some even go to the extent of running off with such children to make it impossible for a loving father to still see or be with his children. Icheoku have also seen where the man was the one dishing it out the hell on the estranged spouse; but the bottom-line is to know when it is over and make that break with minimum hurt and anguish whatsoever. Like President Bush said of the presidency, it is hard, it is a hard-work; likewise is the road traveled to breaking up. 

Once in your heart, there is no more a place for the fading spouse,  then know it is time to take that long walk away from him or she. Admitted that supposed friends, family and parties with interest might call you names or try to intervene, all in an attempt to find stories to gossip with, but just know within your heart that you took the highroad and the best available option possible.  A marriage which started on a rocking grounds cannot prosper and you owe it to yourself to take a hike the moment the rumblings becomes threateningly louder; but you must not wait to see if a resolution could come marching in through the front door. It is your marriage and not any other's; so always follw your heart when it calls. It is the way, the only way out of an unholy and unhappy bondage called a miserable marriage; but never take the law into your hands by harming the spouse or as in this case other innocent children who were not a party to the beef that midwifed the tragedy. 

A look at the present case, where the now dead woman and former wife of the also dead-killer, confiscated the children's clothes just to stop them from going to seder and attending bar mitzvah with their Jewish fatther, an orthodox Jew to whom religiious observations meant a great deal, shows a possible provocative acts on the part of the woman. Nonetheless, Icheoku has no sympathy for this suicide-lawyer as what he did lacks any meaningful explanation, justification or rationalization whatsoever. It is simply put, stupid, stupid and stupid. It is so stupidly crazy that it is not worth it as no woman and daughter of Eve is worth losing the world for; at worst just hit the road Jack and never look back or come back.  It is the wise way, it is the way that leads to true happiness and it is called FREEDOM!

GADDAFI LYNCHED, DENIED HIS HUMAN RIGHTS TO A FAIR TRIAL?

GADDAFI DENIED HIS HUMAN RIGHTS TO A FAIR TRIAL?Icheoku says that he denied others their human rights is not a reason why he should be so brutally murdered, by an over-excited Libyan mob, without first processing him through the law. He was a dictator and a brutal one for that matter but so what if he was, but no one and not a head of state deserves to be killed in this manner. He was a head of state for crying out loud and like Saddam Hussein, should have at least been accorded the seeming dignity of passing through the judicial process; which eventually would still have killed him anyway. But they are a mob that captured him and lynched him; and mobs are not known to be rational people. In the words of one Libyan, "If he lived and was killed a thousand times, that would still only be a trifle." 

Icheoku says today the man who held the desert country of Libya hostage for more than forty-two years had gone to the great beyond with so many secrets which the world may never know again, the opportunity through a trial having been lost with his extra-judicial murder by lynching in the streets of Sirte. A NATO aided and abetted rowdy Libyan mob denied the world and the people of Libya, a forensic sifting and mining of Moummar Gaddafi's inner recesses to harness the treasure-trove acquired over so many decades in power. Icheoku says by rascally lynching their captured prisoner and a former head of state before he could have his day in court, this Libyan mob have lost their credibility and cannot uphold the rule of law. 

What a brutal and inhuman way for anyone particularly a former head of state to die. But where is the outrage, outcry or condemnation by world leaders of this lack of due process in the manner the former head of state of Libya was put to death by vigilantism? That he was Gaddafi and was hated by many is not reason enough to so barbarically lynch him without recourse to his human rights to fair hearing, and an opportunity to defend charges brought against him. If in the end he is condemned to death, then the law can proceed on its course to levying execution of the condemned but not any other way. This would have also shown Moummar Gaddafi how he ought to have treated the Libyan people while in the saddle of power. Icheoku maintains that no one, including even the most brutal of all dictators that have walked this earth deserves as an end as horrific and barbaric as was witnessed in the streets of Sirte Libya. Icheoku condemns the undignified manner the Libyan mob ended the life of their former dictatorial head of state, Moummar Gaddafi as both callous and inhumane as well as being out of touch with decent civilized behavior. 

It is not just about Gaddafi, but the entire humanity, that what went down in Sirte offended - everyone should and ought to be treated with some dignity in the manner they make their final exit from this earth. Oh Libya, what art thou done to your image? The lynching in Sirte of Moummar Gaddafi was purely a savagery revenge and not the justice which his judicial trial would have handed him, guided by Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The said article provides as follows:- "Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.". Icheoku further opines that the said Article 10 use of the word "Everyone" is very significant since it never intended to and did not exclude with a proviso or an exclusion clause, dictators or other scoundrels of this world, making Moummar Gaddafi a protected person whom the said article equally avails. 

It is insanely disturbing that a group of men outside Africa should seat and decide the fate of one African leader, admitted he was not the most popular person, and choreographed his demise in this extra-judicial manner? Where else would it happen and after Gaddafi who? Who knows for whom the bell tolls next? Icheoku says investigation into Gaddafi's murder is a waste of time as what needs to be investigated is the selective "dispensation of justice and protection of civilians" ruse and mantra of those holier than thou countries of power. Why is what is good for Libyan civilians not good for Iranian civilians or Yemeni civilians or Syrian civilians; and the same world watched hopelessly for example as Omar Bashir slaughtered Darfur people (civilians) using the Janjaweed but was told it was Sudan's internal affairs? It is just the lopsidedness of these interventions that roils people up and not the merit of kicking the ass of one petty dictator in a state of stupor. Icheoku therefore calls on the world through the United Nations to please enact a uniform operating standard procedure for intervention in the affairs of countries of the world. If that is the only good thing to come out of Gaddafi's extra-judicial murder by vigilantism lynching, then all was not lost; otherwise what a sad day for humanity that a president of a country was left to die such a horrific death and in the streets like a stray dog or a road-kill.

GADDAFI CAPTURED ALIVE, THEN LYNCHED?

GADDAFI CAPTURED ALIVE, THEN LYNCHED? Icheoku says be the judge as this picture shows a fear-stricken Moummar Gaddafi begging for his life after he was captured from a water drainage pipe in Sitre. What happen thereafter is anybody's guess as his hunters did not want to deal with a prolonged and circus-like possible trial of the dictator - just in the same fashion as Osama Bin Laden's summary justice was meted out? Just in case, Icheoku is just analyzing the photograph?

GADDAFI'S GOLDEN GUN, KILLED HIM?

GADDAFI'S GOLDEN GUN, KILLED HIM?Unconfirmed reports reaching Icheoku has it that the fatal shot which transported Gaddafi out of this world was fired from his purely-gold personal pistol; which literally made him the man with the golden gun 007? But hey stuff happens and so it has happened that Moummar Gaddafi acquired that which killed him. The tragedy of the story is that no one will truly know what transpired following the capture of Gaddafi in that drainage pipe, leading

GADDAFI SUFFERS THE FATE OF DICTATORS, DIES LIKE A DOG.

In what President Barack Obama described as a stark warning to other authoritarian leaders across the globe particularly the Middle East, iron-fisted rule as always "inevitably comes to an end" and such was the fate suffered by the former Libyan "strongman" and self-declared "King of Africa", Moummar Gaddafi. Not only did Gaddafi loss his grip over Libyans but the people of Libya, who suffered so much atrocities under his maximum power, went further to take their pound of flesh but this time with lots of blood. Gaddafi died in the hands of his people - the Libyan people; killed on the streets of Sirte like a common criminal or should Icheoku say, a DOG? 

What an irony of life that men think power is theirs to forever keep and to misuse same to the detriment of their people for whose primary benefit such power vested on the ruler in the first place. Gaddafi had every opportunity to be better and to change the course which eventually led to his undignified demise, but he did not positively engineer it. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely such that Gaddafi upon consolidating his vice-hold on the people of Libya became tone-deaf to their plight; and instead listened to a few select sycophantic inner circle members of his, who only told him what is melodious to his ears as long as they were left aboard the gravy-train. Today, October 20, 2011, as he was felled by volley of bullets of his Libyan people on the street of Sirte, none of those yes-men and yes-women fell with him nor were even around to share their leaders final moments on this earth enroute to rendezvousing with his seventy virgins. 

Moummar Gaddafi's fall from power, culminating to his shameful death on the street like a dog, shows the futility of many African leaders policy of "arming to the teeth." Instead of spending their country's resources wisely on building uplifting projects and institutions that could take their countries to the next level, they maniacally buy all sorts of weaponry from death-merchants all over the world with which they kill and maim their people just to put enough fear in them in order to or attempt to perpetuate themselves in power. Imagine all the Russian as well as possibly American and European tanks, fighter planes, missiles, rockets, other heavy weapons as well as all sorts of guns and ammunition which Gaddafi bought and paid for with Libyan's resources over the forty-two years he forcibly maintained himself in power? Yet these were not enough to deter a willing people, tired of his despotism, from moving against his hold on power which resulted to his cheap-death today. Those weapons could not protect him or save him nor keep him in power; they proved a no match for a people made nearly insane by his iron-fist inhuman rule of several decades. It is even possible that the bullet that dispatched him to the great beyond was bought by him or fired from a gun that was part of his amassed arsenal weapon of destruction of the Libyan people?  Such irrational drunken-sailor like purchase of weapons by African and third world leaders only succeeds in keeping those merchants of death and their home governments' citizens in their jobs, making more weapons including futuristic weapons to still be sold to those who will eventually succeed Gaddafi. Icheoku wonders the need for these weapons and to defend what, if these leaders could only provide a fair peoples-orientated governments? 

Moummar Gaddafi meant so many things to so many people - to Icheoku, he was an African patriot wanna-be, who did not know how to truly be patriotic and in a good way. He wanted a place for Africa on the world stage but went about it in the wrong way. He assumed unto himself the exalted leadership of the entire African continent as "King of Africa" without first consulting other African leaders or seeking and obtaining the consent of the supposedly governed peoples of Africa or should Icheoku yet say his "subjects?" In short he was a megalomaniac bi-polar personality who wished he had a bigger territory to preside over as he once championed a United States of Africa with Tripoli as its capital and Moummar Gaddafi its leader? He also wished he had a stronger army to bring about his desired political changes both in the continent of Africa and the entire world in general. During his UN visit, he reportedly called for President Barack Obama to remain a life-long president of America, exhibiting the delusion with which some people identifies him with. He was a character in study and he reportedly still had nightmares over the President Reagan's missile delivery right inside his bedroom in the eighties.  

Gaddafi's foray into other African countries politics led to his legendary destabilizing role, as a sponsor of military coups de tats and forceful take over of governments in countries whose governments were not ready to play his game or dance to his dictates. From Thomas Sankara to Charles Taylor and to some extent, Nigeria's Sani Abacha, all African unelected leaders, who Gaddafi had and maintained some relationship with; and was reputed to have brought them to power in some way. Some sources even claimed that during the dictatorship of Sani Abacha of Nigeria, when Nigeria was embargoed by the international community, that Gaddafi flew into Abuja the sum of seven hundred million dollars in cash to help Abacha continue to run the country?  Icheoku learnt this gesture was not out of his love for Nigerians but as an investment on Islamism as he and his other North African and Middle East zealotry cohorts tried to spread Islamic sharia throughout Nigeria. His last foray into Nigerian politics came just few months before the Arab Spring uprising, when he called for the division of Nigeria into two - the Muslim north and Christian south with Abuja and Lagos as their respective capitals.  

Anyway love him or hate him, Moummar Gaddafi was a character that captured world attention, albeit negatively. The West hated his guts and his obtuse sense of pride in Africa, then there was Lockerbie, the German nightclub, other strings of terrorism that bore his signature, his support for the Arafat's PLO  and then the springing out of prison of the only convicted and ailing PAN AM bomber and the West just had enough. They planned and schemed for a way to get Gaddafi to finally pay his debt to the world and then came the Arab Spring, which became the icing on the cake to get Gaddafi. The rest as they say is better left for historians to do their chronicling. What a faith accompli and mission accomplished, the death of Moummar Gaddafi is; as the West will no longer have such a mercurial character to be wary of in that part of the world with a huge salivating deposit of fossil fuel to die for. May the eccentric soul of Moummar Gaddafi now find rest somewhere in their version of paradise.

Icheoku will however pause to say congratulations to all those who made the change in Libya possible including the Europeans, Libyan revolutionaries and particularly President Hussein Obama, who, despite his biological affinity to Africa took on headlong, these Arab dictators in North Africa and Middle East, who were previously courted, wined and dined by past US governments in order not to upset the world oil cart. President Obama is a doer and has done creditably well fighting our enemies such that were the coming 2012 election to be solely based on keeping America safe, boy would he have won a landslide victory. But the economy still sucks and Americans often vote their stomach, so it will be somewhat an uphill climb. Just like one acquaintance told Icheoku, "you gotta blame somebody for your situation in life irrespective of the fact that that other might not be the source of your problems." Further that safety with an empty stomach still kills by starvation and likewise does a full stomach without safety kill by insecurity; so it is not a question of "either/or" but a question of "and/both" security and good economy.  

But the good news however, is that the Republicans are running on empty candidates and have yet to offer Americans a real alternative t President Obama. Their current line of presidential wanna-bes are people laden with various baggage that make them toxic-candidates and therefore highly unsellable to Americans as president. Put in the words of David Axelrod, these jostling Republican candidates are merely same old same old wines in old skins and who wants to drink of such stuff when there is a better and fresher wine at the wedding in Cannan in the current president? As it stands today, challenged by any of the nine Republican Presidential candidate wanna-bes, President Obama will win his reelection in 2012, admitted it will be fight to the finish line, but he shall first embrace the tape. A photo-finish is also possible but the slow motion will show a President Barack Hussein Obama putting his feet first across the line even if within micro-seconds. 

The conclusive change of guard in Tripoli with the killing of Moummar Gaddafi has yet added another feather to the hat of President Obama's effort to keep America safe and pay back old debts owed to America by some of the world's worst persons. As one commentator put it, "For Obama, the outcome allowed him to stand victorious in the Rose Garden, taking note also of the death this year of prominent al-Qaida leaders at the hands of the United States. And he did it without a single US soldier dying in the battle field. In a span of few months, the country has seen the demise of infamous men who either had killed Americans or haunted the United States by targeting it for terror attacks. Obama ordered a daring special forces raid in Pakistan in May that led to the killing of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, the architect of the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. Last month, a U.S. drone strike in the mountains of Yemen killed Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen and prominent al-Qaida figure who was deemed as having an operational role in plots against the U.S. The plots included two nearly catastrophic attacks on U.S.-bound planes an airliner in 2009 as it tried to land in the United States and cargo planes last year. Then came the confirmed reports Thursday that Gaddafi was dead." Icheoku says any past or aspiring US president with a better national security records than this President Obama, especially as it appertains to America's subsisting security needs should please stand up; but albeit no one is standing. 

Gaddafi is no more and his blood was spilled in the streets of Sirte, his lifeless body dragged through the streets of Sirte and tossed unto the back of a pickup like a roadkill or hunted-down scoundrel. Compared to Saddam Hussein, he did not die a better or more edifying death - although both of them were literally speaking, "smoked out of a burrow" whether a drainage pipe or dug up rat-hole; at least Sadam Hussein had some moments to enjoy this world before he was dispatched. He was tried, convicted and hung without his blood spilling on the streets of Baghdad or Tikrit. He also enjoyed doing his own laundry while his trial lasted and even had the opportunity of shouting at the trial judge? But Moummar Gaddafi lasted a few fleeting moment between his being spotted by his hunters and his own demise. May be only Romania's former dictator Nickolai Ceausescu's fate came closer to Gaddafis, as his people executed him alongside his wife in Bucharest moments after his fall. Icheoku asks, would such fate as befell Gaddafi serve as a lesson to other dictators around the world, your guess is as good as mine. May the spilled blood of Gaddafi prove to be the glue that will bind and hold Libyans together as they stumble through their journey forward towards building a functional democratic society where men, women and other minorities of all sorts shall freely cohabit and thrive. What a way to end!

GADDAFI, "KING OF AFRICA" IS DEAD!

The news of his demise is the only news currently festooning our airwaves both terrestrial and spatial. Icheoku as part of the equation has contributed our thoughts on what went down in Sirte today October 20, 2011 bringing to a conclusive end, a forty-two year strangle-hold on a people. Please scroll down below to our main page to see our perspective. Adieu African strongman who was only strong against his people before Arab Spring transformed cowering in fear boys into men that pulled such previously considered impossible feat off.

MITT ROMNEY IS A FLIP-FLOPPING HYPOCRITE - RICK PERRY?

MITT ROMNEY IS A FLIP-FLOPPING HYPOCRITE - RICK PERRY? Icheoku says records are kept for a reason and they are presently hounding the former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as he yet embarks on another round of his futile journeys to the White House. Once again he was reminded that he once knowingly hired an illegal alien and that his Massachusetts 'RomneyCare' is the petri-dish from where 'ObamaCare' was cloned. Yet the Mormon-cultist is purposely hoodwinking American far right to believe that there is a difference between six and a half dozen; and that he has an explanation for everything he did in the past and now tries to deny or offer a lame explanation to, including knowingly hiring an illegal alien while pretending to being strong on immigration and border control; as well as introducing Health Care for all in Massachusetts and now telling Americans that his pet-project is different from what President Obama offered Americans with the Health-Care reform? However Mitt Romney deliberately failed to inform Americans that Team-Romney consulted Team-Obama in the later's health-care reform project? 

America, Icheoku asks, is this double-talking, flip-flopping son of a gun and a "cultist," the type of person that you want for president? As for me, myself and I, the answer is in the negative and so should you. If President Obama is to be replaced at and for whatever reason, Icheoku says Mitt Romney is not that replacement as America deserves better and need to be first made an offer they cannot refuse by the Republican Party to persuade them away from the president. But hey, Senator John McCain beat Mitt Romney in the last primaries and President Obama beat Senator John McCain in the presidential election. Therefore if Mitt Romney could not beat the man who was beat by President Obama, how dare he think that he can now beat the man who beat the man who beat him? Calling Mitt Romney out on his two-faces of Janus manner of speaking, Governor and also Republican Party's presidential candidate contender Rick Perry of Texas said, "Admit you lose all standing from my perspective because you hired illegals in your home and you knew about it for a year and the idea that you stand here before us and talk about that you're strong on immigration is at the height of hypocrisy." Icheoku says 'mission accomplished'' "fait accompli" as the Republican establishment candidate has a very weak jaw and wobbly clay knee against the Democratic Party candidate and President of America, Barack Hussein Obama; and needless to add that Mitt Romney "invented" the wall in Wall Street as a Capitalist 2.0 extra-ordinaire!
