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

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

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

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

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

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

A HERO IS BORN.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

"To all the women who testified, we may have different truth, but I have a great remorse for all of you. I have great remorse for all of the men and women going through this crisis right now in our country. You know, the movement started basically with me, and I think what happened, you know, I was the first example, and now there are thousands of men who are being accused and a regeneration of things that I think none of us understood. I’m not going to say these aren’t great people. I had wonderful times with these people. I’m just genuinely confused. Men are confused about this issue. We are going through this #MeToo movement crisis right now in this country." - Harvey Weinstein.


RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

"If it’s radical to oppose the insanity and cruelty of the Vietnam War, if it’s radical to oppose racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression, if it’s radical to want to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, and other forms of human misery, then I’m proud to be called a radical.” - Ron Vernie Dellums.


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

MICHELE WOLF: WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

ICHEOKU says were it a guy that dumped such vulgarity on a woman and women in general, since an attack on one is an attack on all, there would have been hell to pay. But here was a crazed out, wild eyed feminist extraordinaire, who used asinine and derogatory words to disparage her fellow women, yet faces no consequences whatsoever. 

There is no threat for Netflix to cancel her show or for her to apologize for what she said about her fellow women, body-shaming them and using extensive expletives during such a high profile public event which was probably watched by children.  Not even the fabled women defenders are up in arms, mad at such demeaning remarks made at their fellow women and demanding that she pay a price for it. But it would seem that it is only when liberal women or lesbians and other women minorities are attacked, that these "do-gooders" come out charging with guns drawn and shooting from the hip. These group are seemingly the only "endangered species" who must be protected, but not those who hold different views from them, such as Republican and conservative women, who as far as this selective indignation mob is concerned, can be thrown to the wolves. 

ICHEOKU says the attacks on Sara Huckabee Sanders is not only not civilized, but also ill-mannered and lacks of the basic human decency to be courteous to one's guest. Body-shaming any person, particularly a woman and at such a public event as the White House Correspondents Dinner, is not kosher at all. She was invited as a guest of honor by the WHCA and she honored their invitation, but did not bargain for the bare knuckle pummeling which she was dealt with. ICHEOKU says Michele Wolf is a mean spirited individual; she is not a good person; she is simply vile. SAD.

PRESIDENT BUHARI VISITED PRESIDENT TRUMP

ICHEOKU says provided the incessant senseless killings of Nigerians by those Fulani terrorists herdsmen and their Boko Haram brother bandits stopped; otherwise what a useless waste of time and money it would have been visiting Washington DC. ICHEOKU says President Muhammadu Buhari must do whatever it takes to protect and safeguard Nigerians from the ongoing slaughtering in the hands of those nomads killer Fulani herdsmen and should at least declare them a terrorist organization. ICHEOKU wishes the Nigerian president a safe return to Abuja and the heart to seriously tackle the insecurity problem in Nigeria.

AVICI: LOST THE WILL TO GO ON, COMMITS SUICIDE.

ICHEOKU says Apple's Steve Jobs was the first to intimate the world that there is more to life than all the glitters and limelight and riches, as he died a sad unhappy man, despite attaining the pinnacle of business and amassing a fortune therefrom. Now another world famous personality, DJ Avicii, has taken his own life because he discovered that all the glitter and limelight and riches does not translate into true happiness. He confessed personally that his fame and fortune has left him heavily diminished and that he has too little left for the life of a real person behind the artist which the world knows. 

He sought the limelight and achieved it, also attaining the pinnacle in his chosen profession, entertaining people on dance floors as a world renown Disc Jockey; but found it rather ironical that all the glitter and glamour was superfluous and not real. So he quit, stopped touring and stopped playing party scenes. He tried to return to his former self in search of life's true meaning but found out that it was gone forever and never to be recovered or regained. He was sad, restless  and  unhappy. It nose dived into depression and his quest to find inner peace led him to the dark side from which he never returned and his body was found in a hotel room. He took his life trying to find inner peace. ICHEOKU says what is life really worth afterall, if one may ask? Adieu Avicii. 

Hie family's released statement:-
"Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An over-achieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress. When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most - music. But he could not go on any longer; he lost the will to carry on. He wanted to find peace. Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight. Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed. The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive."

THE PRINCE IS NAMED.

CHEOKU says Kensington Palace has announced the name of their new addition, the third child and second son born to Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton. His name is Louis Arthur Charles and will be known and addressed as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge. ICHEOKU says congratulations Louis.

THE PRESIDENT WAS RIGHT: THERE WAS NO COLLUSION.

ICHEOKU says the Congressional Intelligence Committee saddled with investigating the alleged "Russian Collusion" has ended its investigation into the 2016 presidential election and allegation that the Trump camp colluded with the Russians. In it s final report, the committee said that it "found no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded, coordinated, or conspired with the Russian government and also we couldn’t establish the same conclusion that the CIA did that [the Russians] specifically wanted to help Trump win the last election." 

ICHEOKU says it is about time the nation moved on from the manufactured crisis of a Russian Collusion which a sore loser side invented to shield from their shameful defeat in the last election. President Donald John Trump has always maintained his innocence and insisted that there was no collusion between him and the Russians and it seems that the president has now finally been vindicated. ICHEOKU says nice. Hopefully this will be the catalyst that the Special Counsel Robert Mueller as well as the Senate Committee need to also round up their own respective investigations and free the nation as well as the president from the fog of illegitimacy hanging over their head in respect of the 2016 presidential election. 

ICHEOKU has always known, having witnessed and somewhat participated in the campaign that President Donald John Trump rightfully earned his election victory, as he outworked and out campaigned Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and had a superior message which resonated with the American people. Anyway, it is good to know the truth as only the truth shall set everyone free, including the Deep State naysayers and sore losers. A pitiful people who do not know how to accept defeat like a sportsman.

A GAY MAN IS AMERICA'S AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY !

ICHEOKU says President Donald John Trump is a doer not a talker; they accuse him of being a chauvinistic women hating male who does not love women, yet he empowers them. They accuse him of being an anti-gay bigot, yet he empowers LGBTQ and has just appointed an openly gay homosexual American ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany. 

Richard Grenell, former spokesman of the United States of America at the United Nations and who worked previously for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign is America's new ambassador to Angel Merkle's Germany. ICHEOKU wishes him well, representing America in Deutschland. Congratulations Ambassador Rick Grenell.  

SAY NO TO GROUP THINK: YOU ARE NOT A HERD.

SAY NO TO GROUP THINK: YOU ARE NOT A HERD !
ICHEOKU says free thinking is part of the individuality in all of us; so protect your freedom of thought, say no to the leftist attempt to shame you into falling in line. ICHEOKU says is a fiercely independent thinker and not afraid to go it alone. Thanks Kanye!

THE FRENCH PRESIDENT AND WIFE VISITED.


KANYE WEST WALKS AWAY FROM GROUP THINK.

KANYE WEST STRIKES OUT FROM GROUP THINK PACK MENTALITY.

"Obama was in office for eight years and nothing in Chicago changed." - Kanye West. 

ICHEOKU says completely agrees that the Kenyan did nothing for black people; not those in motherland Africa, not those in  West Indies/Caribbean and not those in America. His presidency might as well not have happened as folks did not in anyway feel his impact. So, Yeezy was right, former President Barack Hussein Obama was not black folks friendly and did not do a thing to change things for folks.

THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY HAS A NEW ADDITION

THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY HAS A NEW ADDITION
ICHEOKU says another bundle of joy has been added to the British Royal Family, as Prince William and Duchess Kate welcomed their third child, a son. ICHEOKU says congratulations fellas.

'THEY WILL NEVER ALLOW ME TO BE PRESIDENT' - HILLARY CLINTON.

ICHEOKU says yes indeed, the crooked woman is right that they were never going to let her be president. This will be the first time ICHEOKU will ever see reason with Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and agrees with the Jezebel, that "they", the American people, will never allow a fraud to be their president. 

The crooked woman is right that a double-faced Janus like her has been seen for what she is by the American people and they have determined that she is not a fit and proper person for their White House. NEVER; not in this life and not in the life of her.

She is so crooked that even the real Lucifer is amazed. American people will always say no to the American political reject and perpetual president wanna be, Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton, two times ran and two times doubly and roundly rejected. Now she cannot seem to recover from the trouncing of November 8, 2016 and it shows. What a pitiful sore loser!

ENOCH ADEBOYE IS NO CARDINAL SIN: THEY DON'T MAKE HIS LIKES ANYMORE.

ICHEOKU says moments as this, the never ending fleecing of Nigerians by Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has forced ICHEOKU to time-travel down memory lane, way back to the eighties Philippines under President Ferdinand Marcos and how a petite man of God toppled his government, a government which somewhat had became God unto itself. Yes, his name was Archbishop Jamie Cardinal Sin and he permanently etched his name in immutable solid marble. 

Philippines was under a great affliction, a heavy yoke of then President Ferdinand Marcos and the people suffered and suffered until one man, a religious clergy and Archbishop of Manila, decided that enough is enough and he put aside his fears and personal safety, to do what needed to be done and before you could say Holly Molly, like all brutish cowards, Marcos and his family took to their heels in flee from the Macanaga Palace and into exile they went. 

But in Nigeria, Pastor Enoch Adeboye is busy shaking down Nigerians, fleecing the people of their hard earned money, while the country is weighted down under the heavy burdensome yoke of President Muhammadu Buhari maladministration. But not a whiff of condemnation or admonition of the government ever came from the supposed man of God. Enoch Adeboye is probably too afraid to raise a voice against the government for fear of being grounded or his private jet being denied landing rights on Nigerian airports or barred from using Nigeria's airspace. Enoch Adeboye has stood silently by and watched as even members of his Redeemed Christian Church of God are suffering untold hardship and groaning under immeasurable economic burden; and scared-stiff of their freedom being lost, restricted or deprived by the government. ICHEOKU says what would Jesus do faced with similar situation and circumstance, but condemn it; but not with Enoch Adeboye. 

Cardinal Sin was born into a very wealthy family but he forsook it all and went into the service of God, rising to become the Archbishop of Manila. Unlike the formerly poverty stricken Enoch Adeboye, who never dreamt of ever amounting to anything or being able to afford anything conveniently; and who like the Igbo adage of a man who never knew he will be able to take the Ozo title who put the anklets right up to his knees, has refused to let go his pursuit of money. It has now gotten to such ridiculousness that he is collecting gate fees for heaven, including billions from all manners of questionable characters and dubious people as well as crooked individuals, who actually believe that they are indeed paying advance for a space in heaven through Enoch Adeboye. ICHEOKU says watching that Enoch Adeboye's video made ICHEOKU sick to the stomach, that a man would so brazenly, falsely claim that if you don't pay your tithes you will not be admitted into heaven; and you ask yourself when did God appoint Enoch Adeboye the gateman of heaven's gate? 

Events makes a man and the events in the Philippines of the 1970s and 1980s under President Ferdinand Marcos, which forced Cardinal Sin to get involved in politics, made the Cardinal. It indeed proved to his great credit that it is not the size of the dog in the fight that is important, but the size of the fight in the dog. Cardinal Sin witnessed burgeoning corruption, fraud, murder and all manners of ills being perpetrated by the Marcos government. He also watched as discontent of the people over the uncaring attitude of the government neared boiling point and decided that enough is enough and went about to do something about it. But not Enoch Adeboye, who although tragically situated in a similar circumstance in Nigeria today, has refused to do something bout it; while maintaining a deathly criminal accomplice silence and maintaining a safe distance from provoking the ire of the government. ICHEOKU says were Jesus Christ this cowardly, the salvation of mankind would not have been purchased as the Jews would not have had any cause to frame him up for crucification. 

Just within six months following his appointment as Archbishop of Manila, Cardinal Sin was criticizing the authorities in Manila, as he appealed to Filipinos of all creed and religions and backgrounds to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and use peaceful means to change the political situation in the Philippines. His call led to massive popular uprising which at one time brought about one million Filipinos to the streets of Manila, and eventually forced some soldiers to switch sides and join the protest in what later became known as People Power Revolution. President Ferdinand Marcos was forced into exile and with it, Philippines was freed and liberated till this day, establishing a real democracy where the people can elect and remove a president of their choice. So what is happening in Nigeria with the silence of Enoch Adeboye and other supposed men and women of God is quite pathetic. They have all turned into business men and women peddling scriptures and false miracles; and looking the other way as the country gradually unravels, while they smile steadily to the banks. 

So when will Enoch Adeboye and his coterie of tithes collecting false prophets ever bequeath Nigeria with a "triumphant democracy?" When will Enoch Adeboye and his fellow fleecing pastors persuade Nigerians to demand the opening of the "second envelope" and finally rid the country of those who are stealing it blind? When will Enoch Adeboye and his gang of deceitful miracle workers help Nigerians get rid of all the Ali Babas and the 40 thieves of Nigeria who have nearly bankrupted the country with their quick, fast, itching fingers? Even with Cardinal Sin, the Vatican tried to intervene on behalf of the Philippines government and tried to rein him in, but he threatened to resign his office which forced the Holy See to back down and stay off the church activism in Philippines. But here is Enoch Adeboye, who is the lord unto himself and who reports to no one, yet cannot muster enough courage to demand that President Muhammadu Buhari keep his contract with the Nigerian people. What Would Jesus Do?

DJ AVICII IS DEAD !

ICHEOKU says he came, did what he had to do, exactly what he was created to do and then took his bow. Yes, he was a maestro who held dancing fans spellbound on the dancing floor with his EDM music and he was really good at it. His "Wake Me Up" song was a great hit. Swedish born performer Tim Bergling aka DJ Avicii died in Muscrat Oman of yet to be determined causes. He was just 28 years old. 

"It's been a very crazy journey. I started producing when I was 16. I started touring when I was 18. From that point on, I just jumped into 100 percent. When I look back on my life, I think: whoa, did I do that? It was the best time of my life in a sense. It came with a price - a lot of stress, a lot of anxiety for me - but it was the best journey of my life." - DJ Avicii. ICHEOKU says rest in peace DJ. Adieu Avicii.

THE STARBUCKS ARREST: JUST A MICROCOSM OF THE RACISM IN AMERICA

ICHEOKU says Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson is just being clever by half in his pretentious display of indignation that two black men were arrested and marched out of one of his outlets in Philadelphia. How many other Starbucks outlets and other American business have black people been similarly marched out from and sometimes outrightly denied service or looked through simply because of the pigmentation of their skin. But here he is pretending that he just landed from out of space Mars to learn that racism is alive and well in America. 

What happened in Philadelphia is not just a one time unfortunate incident implicit bias incident; and there is nothing his apology will fix because racism is a continuing American underbelly and is system wide and country wide throughout the body fabric of the American society and Kevin Johnson knows this long before the two black men were put in handcuffs and humiliated out of his store in Philadelphia. So what did he do about it all this time, only to now shed crocodile tears because what was captured on video is not good for the corporate image of Starbucks and might also effect its bottom-line. He is apologizing and now promising to have the staff trained in "implicit bias and sensitivity" and you ask yourself how many blacks are top executives in Starbucks and how many blacks show up during Starbucks directors meetings if there is no racism in Starbucks preceding this incident? But the duo's arrest was captured on video and here comes a supposedly very "contrite" Chief Executive Officer pretending that he is being made aware of racism in America for the very first time. 

How many people of color are Kevin Johnson's friends? How many people of color live in his neighborhood and how many black children attend the same school which his children go to; and above all, how many black people are store managers, executives and in top level management positions in Starbucks? The thing that riles ICHEOKU most is the ever present sanctimonious fire-service approach of "addressing" race issues in America, which always follows each instant when a particular act of racism publicly breaks into the open and bubbles to the top. People react and involved corporate CEO's run around the place promising to "fix it", but only to return to the their default status when camera pans out and the incident is no longer cool to discuss or occupy the airwaves. It is all about corporate image and sooner than later, all the generated fury will blow off and it is deja vu the status-quo. But corporate image is at the stakes and Public Relations experts are are trying to stem the tide and here comes all the white washing and other temporary palliative measures being put in place. 

ICHEOKU says it is over fifty years since the passing of the Civil Rights Acts, yet blacks are paid less than their white counterparts in America, when they are lucky to be employed. Blacks still live in their own separate neighborhoods; their children still go to their own different schools; they still go to their own black churches; corporate America including Wall Street do not have a reflective population percentage number of black people within their enclaves; loan facilities for homes and cars are still not extended to black Americans on the same level as their white counterparts; police still disproportionately kill more blacks in America and for practically no reason other than to just remove some "nuisance" from their society and the list of painful experiences of being black in America go on ad infinitum. So is Kevin Johnson telling ICHEOKU or the world at large that he is oblivious of all these racial inequality and disparate treatment of people in America or was he just tagging along all this while in order not to disturb the groove until now? 

ICHEOKU is only taken aback by the pretentiousness and band-aid approach towards solving instances of race issue in America whenever one draws public attention; because after the very episode, things usually quickly revert back to the default mode until the next episode. Instead of seriously finding a way to indeed truly solve the issue of race in America, they simply place a band aid on issue by issue, sometimes make some token payment in compensation and few days later, it is back to business, the usual way of doing things. Even when the police kill unarmed innocent black man for instance, there is often no consequences as they just walk away Scot-free. As a result, other would be killers do not learn from the experiences of their past killers and they go on perpetrating their nefarious acts of singling out and killing blacks with impunity knowing fully well that nothing will happen to them because it was just another black man that was killed. ICHEOKU says if this is not racism, what else is? 

The only reason the Philadelphia arrest is making all these waves and headlines is that it was captured on video and people are reacting and expressing outrage. Starbucks is a Wall Street business that must reel in the cash in order to look good and they have to sell millions of cups of the hot liquid to do this. They also need a good corporate and community image to draw in customers who pony their money out for their overpriced hot cups. This is the principal underlying reason the fire brigade PR is trying desperately to quench the fire. The optics is not good and it might cause heavy loss of revenue for Starbuck, hence all these measures which are being hurriedly implemented. It will close 8,000 stores to do sensitivity training and you wonder why the drama of shutting down so many stores simultaneously when they could have achieved the same result by making  baristas watch sensitivity training video during their one hour lunch break and pay them for the hour. 

But no, it must be dramatized to appear that they in fact actually did something. How about opening coffee houses in black neighborhoods or employing more blacks or even giving back to the black community to help them send their children to colleges and universities on Starbucks' scholarships. Better still how about giving some Starbucks stocks and shares to the two fellas to really apologize to them and as them to please forgive. But Americans understand what is going on as the whole essence is the white man's effort to break the will of the black man to fight and survive, period. They carry it out everyday, every hour, every minute and every second both in jobs, housing, stores, streets and hospitals etc. When you refuse to give up, their police will either kill you or their judges will put in you in prison and often times throw away the key with some people dying in prison for offenses which they did not commit. They publicly humiliate you just to drum it into your ears that the Lord made a mistake by creating you black. 

Why did the police not ask the two black guys to just leave the store, after listening to their story, without the need to put them in handcuffs?  But no, they have to handcuff them to continue feeding the stereotype that black people are criminals and trouble makers; and telegraph to other blacks that we are ready for you and watching, so don't mess with us. Query, were the two black guys Caucasians or even Asians, would the police have arrested and put them in handcuffs? Were they the "right" color, would the Store manager have refused them the use of the bathroom or called the police to report them as being threatening or that they refused to leave the store. When did trespassing become an arrest-able offense without first asking the so called trespassers to quietly leave; following their refusal or recalcitrant, then an arrest might follow. But no, they had to arrest first and ask questions later and the ONLY reason they did it is the same reason such discriminatory practises have been going on in America for centuries and continuing till this day. SAD.

BARBARA BUSH SAYS HER GOODBYE: ADIEU MATRON OF THE BUSH FAMILY

BARBARA BUSH SAYS HER GOODBYE: ADIEU
ICHEOKU says she was a mother to every American; a matron indeed. Adieu silver haired lady, rest in peace. So long.

BARBARA BUSH: DEAD AT 92.

ICHEOKU says the matriarch of the Bush political dynasty, wife to a former CIA director, wife to a former Vice President, wife to a former president and also a mother of a former president and two former governors; a woman who was truly an embodiment of the "say it as you see it" New York spirit, a personification of grace who somewhat borders on royalty; and who was also a mother of six children in all, grandmother to 17 and great grandmother to 7; former American First Lady Barbara Bush is dead. 

The platinum haired gregarious lady, who commanded presence wherever she stepped in and who was more than qualified to have been crowned Queen had America a monarchy, died of old age related infirmities and natural causes. She suffered from a breathing difficulties disorder, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (C.O.P.D) and also congestive heart failure towards the very end of her well fulfilled and heavily accomplished life. Barbara Bush was 92 years old. 

Barbara Bush alongside former President Quincy Adams' wife, Abigail Adams, were the only two American women in history to share the singular honor of married to a president and also gave birth to a child who later became president; thus made them wife and mother of presidents. She also had the honor of being the longest married wife of an American president and was with former President George H. Bush Sr for 72 long meritorious years. Commenting on her life last year, Barbara said: "I am still old and still in love with the man I married 72 years ago.” ICHEOKU says simply beautiful and how many women could happily and proudly say that of their marital life experience; to be married that so long and still remained happy that so long. Simply incredible, wonderful. 

Her one other memorable quote which ICHEOKU likes a lot because it told everything anyone needed to know about Barbara's depth, is: "I’m not going to turn into a glamorous princess. I’m not going to worry about it. I have plenty of self-confidence, not in how I look but in how I feel and I feel good about my husband, my children, and my life.” What a woman who indeed truly loved and took immense pride in her family. Speaking about her, former White House Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, said:- “She is more than a matriarch. She was a greater conscience to her husband, to her sons, to her daughter and to those who had the benefit of being in her proximity. She was an unvarnished purveyor of the truth and motivated us all to be better people. And she was also contagious with love."  ICHEOKU says what a testimonial, a solid one indeed and which will easily suffice as her epitaph. Adieu Barb.
