Nigeria. Murtalab the Terrorist
Nigeria: Let the Terrorist Bear the Name of his Father
Until 1914 Nigeria was a two separate protectorates of the British Government, not the same country as we have today. The Northern Protectorate was a left over of Sokoto Caliphate that spread Islamic religion to all West African Countries which destroyed most of the empires that rooted themselves in African values of respect and good behavior, Southern Protectorate consisted of all the people of lower Niger that were Christians and traditional African religion believers.
The death of the British Colonial Governor of Southern Protectorate made the British government to merge the North and South together under one leadership of Lord Luggard then British Colonial Governor of Northern Protectorate which led to the so called policy of assimilation of Islamic doctrine into the strange land of the South a decision that robbed the new country of purposeful leadership.
The goals and aspirations of the Northern Nigeria was not the same with the Southern Nigeria, the South looks towards western civilization, while the North focuses on the East with Mecca and Islamic fundamental beliefs as everything. The Nation continues to match two steps forwards and three steps back since 1914.
After the 2nd world wars the Nation was divided into three regions, the North remained one and South was divided into two as West and East, since the nation was boarded in the South by the Atlantic Ocean a region in the South was not created. The predominantly Islamic North despite the visible development of the South called West and East and attainment due to western Civilization never lost focus on seeing the world through Islamic fundamental belief only and always suspecting that Western world which America leads will always be the enemy.
Today, more than 95 percent of Nigerians in America working and living and contributing positively to America and Western world economy are Nigerians from the old Southern Protectorate. The distrust of United States of America was so great in the minds of Northern Nigeria that the current President of the country who as a governor of Kastina State in Northern Nigeria introduced Sharia Laws that was anti- western civilization who is presently ill and on intensive Care in Saudi Arabia Hospital would rather remain in Saudi Arabia than been taken for proper care in any America Hospitals since November 23rd. 2009
For over a month, the country has no functional President. The sick president never handed over to his Vice President who happens to come from the Southern part of the Country. To hand over will amount to transferring power to south instead, the country is currently, through the back door, being administered by the wife of the sick President and the nation is helpless because the National Assembly lacked the guts to use the constitution to remove the president without offending the Islamic North.
How does this affect the recent terrorist bomb in Detroit Michigan? Most of the Northerners are treated like princes and princesses in Nigeria body politics, they are not subjected to proper security checks at the airports, and those with private aircrafts just use the aircrafts like taxi cabs at the nation's airports. Positions are reserved for half educated, half exposed Islamic leaders, they use slight excuse like Beauty contest to kill Christians in the North, they are very sympathetic to Osama Bin Laden goals, their mosques are used to preach hatred for non Muslims, Sharia laws became the main laws in over ten northern states when the doctrines of Sharia actually run contrarily to what the constitution says on freedom of religion which was not the same as the North will like to interpret it.
The Northern Nigerian Murtalab the terrorist was a not only a bastard to his country, but also a misguided son of Northern Nigerian Aristocratic linage, a product of failed and associated love of his parent for fundamental beliefs of Yemen which his father married from. All Nigerians must not be seen in the light of the ugly behavior but to have sympathy for a group of 150 million helpless people group together by British Government in 1914 with no clear cut goals and objectives and which solution may not be in sight until 1914 is revisited just like Zambia as South Rhodesia and Zimbabwe as North Rhodesia were separated.
Until then, Nigerians will always be seen in the eyes of the world as a country of Terrorists, internet scams, 419 and other credit cards crimes, because the country does not have any focus or leadership. The road to civilization and as currently being taken by Nigeria through it constitution written by the Northern Muslim Military leaders in 1997 will be longer than Biblical Israelis journey to the promised land of an egalitarian society. The nation has no functional police system, no social security, no proper identification procedures, no health care system, no records of those employed, no proper taxation system, no proper funding of education, because the Islamic predominantly Islamic religion feels it will threaten it hold on the Northern peasants.
The Nigeria does not believe in State and City Police even when it is obvious that so called Federal Police is corrupt; the security at the Airport in Lagos and Abuja is the most relaxed in the world. Just slide in some money into the arms of the Customs officials you can get anything to the country, sometimes you wonder if they care at all, not even for the name of the country or what it is to destroy the reputation of their nation. Nigeria is the probably the only country nation on earth which it constitution still has Council of States in which all past Presidents elected and unelected still does check and balance on the activity of the current President, this makes it difficult to move away from the past.
Today, most Nigerians overseas and at home, with honest jobs, who work with the goal of earning honors and respects are chartered by this ugly behavior of the Northern Nigerian Murtalab Terrorist that has by his action cast all Nigerians in bad light and a new development that will embarrass other travelers in and out of Africa. Murtalab must first be seen and recognized as a Northerner, a Muslim before being associated as a Nigerian. He must bear the name of his father first, the name of his region, his tribe before the name of his country.
