MASS SHOOTING AT TEXAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

-


By Akin Ojumu

Another day, another mass shooting. What else is new? This time around, the killing spree was at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. A gun man – a gun kid, really – walked in and opened fire instantly killing nineteen (19) children and two (2) adults.

It’s the deadliest shooting at an elementary school since the 2012 devastating attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut which claimed the lives of twenty children (between six and seven years old) and six adult staff members. 

Motive? Search me!

It’s just another day in the paradise of mass shootings and bloodletting, called the United States of America.

These senseless killings have become so commonplace, the American public has become numb to the incessant tragic shedding of innocent blood and the response of the their political leaders is by now quite typical and predictable.

Especially gnawing, though, is the attitude of the dimwits of the Pro-God and Pro-life cycle to this reckless destruction of lives. Following the news of another mass shooting, the Pro-God, Pro-life knuckleheads:

(1) Dismissively shrug their lumpy shoulders and ruby red necks

(2) Uninterestingly let out a big yaaawwwnnn

(3) Perfunctorily send out bouquet of “Thoughts and Prayers” ornamented with pointless platitudes and empty clichés

(4) Impetuously declare that guns don’t kill people, only bad people with guns kill people

(5) Petulantly proclaim that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun

(6) Stubbornly insist on arming all teachers and pupils with AR-15s and AK-47s

(7) Vehemently argue for the inalienable right to bear and own as many guns of any size and rounds as desired

(8) Confidently guarantee to block and shoot dead any gun safety legislation proposed by the godless liberals in Congress or elsewhere

(9) Bitterly complain about liberals wanting to take away their guns

(10) Continuously whine that the godless Liberals and the mainstream – aka lame-stream – media are politicizing the shooting and making a mountain out of a molehill

(11) Stridently point accusing fingers at the undocumented immigrants invading America from the Southern border as the culprits in the mass shooting

(12) Repeatedly blame the Pro-abortion, Pro-Gay, Black Lives Matter Movements for the mass shooting

(13) Quickly pass laws in Republican controlled State legislatures to further water down existing gun laws to strip away any and all restrictions 

(14) Synchronously repeat the talking points on Fox News and other Conservative lies & news media that what the real Americans need in their lives are more guns and what they surely don’t need are the godless Liberals and their progressive agenda which is “destroying” America

(15) Silently play the waiting game like patient dogs

(16) Expectedly allow the hoopla of the current mass shooting to die down and for Americans, with their alarmingly short attention span, to move on to the next big thing in the fast spinning news cycle

(17) Triumphantly ensure nothing gets done to reduce gun violence and no tangible action is taken on gun safety

Until the next mass shooting…

And the cycle of death repeats itself.

You bet, there’s a mass shooting coming to an elementary school, a grocery store, a house of worship, or a movie theater near you.

Clinging to guns, which are worshiped as gods, is what it takes to be Pro-God and Pro-Life in America. 

Welcome to Crazy Town, USA.

FACT CHECK: DID BOLA TINUBU CALL FOR REDUCTION OF NIGERIANS’ PURCHASING POWER?

By Akin Ojumu  With respect to Bola Tinubu’s presidential aspiration, my position is pretty clear. Those who’ve been following my various commentaries on this issue know very well that I’m not a fan of Bola Tinubu and his unscrupulous campaign to become the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  My opposition to Bola Tinubu’s candidacy is visceral and intense. The man is a clear and present danger to the well-being of Nigeria, if he ever becomes president. BAT is an advanced metastatic cancer rapidly growing and spreading in the Nigeria polity. If the country must survive, this deadly cancer must be treated as all advanced cancers are treated; radical excision combined with several courses of radiotherapy and multiple cycles of chemotherapy cocktail in addition to the clearing of all associated lymph nodes. Now, there’s one thing I detest as much as Bola Tinubu’s presidential run, and that’s fake news. I cherish the truth, it’s the compass that guides us to safe shores. Wi

BECAUSE JOB DIDN’T TITHE, HIS LIFE BECAME TIGHT

By Akin Ojumu Being the trust-but-verify guy that I am, while fact-checking a social media post by one of my High School friends, in which Bishop David Oyedepo was quoted to have linked the adversity of Job to his tithing habit, I was shocked, but not at all surprised, to find a 2019 video that did indeed confirm what my good friend shared.  In Bishop Oyedepo's telling, the real cause of Job's afflictions was his failure to pay tithes. According to him, God removed Job's divine security and allowed Satan to buffet him with calamity because the man was a habitual tithe defaulter. Because Job didn't tithe, his life became really tight. Here is the Bishop in his own words: “You can't see anywhere where Job tithed. So, his blessing was not secured. You can't find anywhere where Job tithed. No! He was overly committed to giving liberally to the poor and God was committed to bless him. But there was no security.” Just so it's absolutely clear. Bishop Oyedepo's

YOU CAN’T LOVE NIGERIA & WANT BOLA TINUBU AS ITS PRESIDENT

By Akin Ojumu Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a stranger to Nigerians. The man with the Graves Disease eyes has been around a long time. BAT is a vector of deadly viral disease of pandemic proportions. He is a parasite that takes over everything his hand touches.  The following is just a sample of what Bola Tinubu, allegedly, did to Lagos State: Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (Formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi – Valued at N450 Million A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land was Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979 Certificate of occupancy was signed and released to Tinubu by Fashola in 2007 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi – Valued at N600 Million Originally claimed to be by Oando Plc Guest House, it was later acquired by Tinubu from Oando Lagos State Government paid to rebuild and renovate, it then purchased it from Tinubu for an undisclosed sum. Subsequently, the State handed the property back to Tinubu under the Pension Bill he signed into law shortly before Tinubu left office in 2
