>>13447104 (pb) Gilbert Chagoury, the Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire, owner of Eko Hotel and Eko Atlantic City has been fined $1.8million by the U.S. Department of Justice.

 

There was a "Mr. Eko" character, in the TV show Lost.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Eko

 

Some interesting overlaps: "Psalm 23" was an episode name, features a few times in the above write-up; also "23 now comes the pain" was one of Q's passwords (with some punctuation for letters, in places).

 

The actor was from Nigeria and insisted on the name being changed, from Emeka to Omecca and finally, Eko then with a "Mr." added in front.

 

Weird that the write-up says the name change "fit the actor's background of Nigeria" -- when does e.g. Reagan's or Schwarzenegger's background affect the naming of a character of a movie they're in? Seems "PC" or "SJW" towards the end of that sentence:

 

Originally, the character was named "Emeka",[27][29] and later "Omecca",[25] but after Akinnuoye-Agbaje was cast, the name was changed to "Eko", in order to be consistent with Akinnuoye-Agbaje's own Nigerian tribal lineage.[25][27]

 

Anyway, character also has a drug smuggling background. Also lying background; his brother died and he assumed his appearance, of a priest.

 

He chose to "keep pressing the button" to prevent the implosion, which ultimately happened. In the videogame "Control" there's a scene where a guy is staring at a fridge, and if he looks away it causes pain. I think the mechanism behind both of these is similar. Might also be like Sisyphus, pushing the rock up the never-ending hill.

 

Anyway, Hotel Eko resonated, so I wrote this up. Hope you enjoy, and God bless.
