UNDERWEAR BOMBER, THE NORTHERN NIGERIA TERRORIST UMAR MUTALLAB!

As we write this final commentary on the son of a bitch and a depraved Fulani terrorist from Katsina Northern Nigeria, who almost brought untoward sorrow and grief to the world particularly Americans on Christmas day, Icheoku says, blame America less for the apology that was Flight 253 of December 25! It was not Americans that checked the animal into a plane nor was it in an American airport that he walked through the gates with his lethal ware; also Lagos, Sa`naa and Amsterdam are not America's territorial jurisdictions nor do we tell those governments over there what to do including how to police their airports or passengers to allow through?

The terrorist originated his journey from hell in distant land far and beyond our control and we should just be thankful, his evil plans was stopped by brave passengers acting in concert with one another in the spirit of vigilance post 9/11. If anyone is looking for those to blame, Icheoku says look to Nigeria, Yemen and Holland; especially the last since the over-sight was caused by a possibly drugged-out Amsterdam official who checked this madman into a plane without discovering his bomb-laden diapers! Icheoku says, the 'blame Americans' chorus must therefore stop and we all should bond together and be thankful that the good Lord Almighty intervened and saved us the intended grief of Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab. Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab is a product of the decay in Northern Nigeria which the whole world are now forced to take a good peek at, just to see what other Nigerians have been forced to put up with all these years since 1960.

However the American ambassador to Nigeria should be recalled immediately and relieved of his/her posting, on account of the visa which was issued to this terrorist and the failure to cancel same as soon as he became a person of interest with ties to terrorism; following the alleged report filed by his father. Such a blatant breach of security is unacceptable and should not be condoned by the authorities irrespective of the present attempt at explaining an inexplicable failure of duty of diligence on the ambassador's part. Icheoku says, we are still talking about this incident with such a near carefree lackadaisical attitude because providence intervened and saved the 278 passengers and 11 crew members aboard that Flight 253 from Schiphol Amsterdam. What if these passengers were less vigilant or were sleeping or that this terrorist was competent enough to fully execute his heinous assignment from the devil? Just imagine the tempo of questioning and calling for blood in retaliation that would have enveloped America were he to have succeeded? With our knowledge of Nigeria, the embassy in Abuja probably issued this multiple entries two years visa to this terrorist because of his name recognition, period; they deferred to his all powerful father and did not care or ignored all the warnings including red-flags which were going off on this cold-hearted mass murderer, the diaper-terrorist killer. Our position is therefore two fold, the visa should never have been issued and since issued, should have been cancelled immediately the father personally alerted the authorities in Abuja that his son is a potential terrorist; or did the embassy officials pretend to know the son more than the father? Somebody should have to answer for some of these burning questions and the US ambassador to Nigeria should be that person or at least be among them. It was such a fatal error of judgment that as of necessity, calls for heads to roll; and the ambassador's head is one heck of such head, all present circumstances considered.

As for the airport officials in Amsterdam and Lagos, a strong representation must be made to them to lodge America's disgust that this tricked-out diaper-bomb wearing terrorist slipped through their gates undetected or facilitated, especially in Nigeria where his pedigree was enough to funnel him through airport security? Once this is done, we can go on carrying on but maintaining our vigilance; and should stop beating each other up for what we did not directly do or failed to protect. Admitted that current discussions on body-scanning should continue, but there is no way we could have stopped Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab with our scanners since he did not board the airplanes from our airports. Better still, the introduction of quasi-profiling at the airports should be considered and anyone who does not like it should stay back at where he was coming from. No one including all these petty terrorists must be allowed to destroy our ways of life just because of some political correctness or in our humane nature, we try to make everyone feel welcomed. These terrorists are not human-beings and should therefore not be accorded the rights and privileges of decent humanity. They deserve the gulags of the Soviet Union era and sometimes makes it very tempting, the introduction of torture to help deal them their own cards.

Lastly, the despicable piece of feces allegedly complained and wrote of being lonely, a loner in a bubbly world. A life carved out by his horrible father who have stolen his heart's delight from Nigeria; money he used to pamper and spoil his terrorist-son but who still remained lonely despite all the supposed comforts of a life of privilege including hibernating in a $4 million dollars London Oxford Circus flat and a pile of cash to use as he pleases. If Icheoku were calling the shots, the elder Mutallab will be held to account for sponsoring terrorism through his sustenance of his terrorist-son's habits, without asking the tough questions about where and how he spends all the money that were being made available to him. The FBI should run a check on the senior Mutallab finances and check how much the terrorist-Mutallab had access to and reconcile their legitimacy? It simply does not make sense that terrorist Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab transformed in just the last two months into the hard-core, pain-free terrorist he had become; who neither feels pain nor compassion nor empathy. Icheoku says, it must have been longer than just that and his father may not be innocent afterall, judging from the pain their people have been visiting on Nigerians for so many years and continuing till today. Further we pray that the terrorist will plead guilty to all the charges and be sentenced forthwith; afterall he was caught red-handed while committing the offense of terrorism of attempting to burn down an airplane and he has equally somewhat confessed to his terrorism links; to spare the American tax-payers the cost of a full trial. A 75 years to life sentence without the possibility of a parole will be a considered fair sentence; otherwise 264 years imprisonment calculated at one year for every person on that flight will also not be out of order. He has earned the right never again to walk a free-man on this earth, ever!

As President Barack Obama and his security team continue to fine tune the best way forward of tackling these terrorists and safeguarding Americans, Icheoku says neither Homeland Secretary nor Secretary of State nor Director of CIA or any other high-up government official should lose his or her job on account of this terror. It was not a direct fault of any of them; and once the ambassador who issued the visa and failed, refused or neglected to cancel it upon notification is let go, the falling on the sword should be completed. Whoever the ambassador is, he or she must be sacrificed for the great fatal error of judgment that was Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab's 'AMERICAN VISA,' which have cost America the mockery of the Al-Queida in the Peninsula, who are taunting our security? Also so many Americans would have lost their lives as a result of the gross omission. Not to let the ambassador go will be simply too much for Americans to bear; as a person with such a poor judgment that created a situation as horrible as December 25, is not fit to continue to represent America in a country as troubled and as diverse as Nigeria. Icheoku says, LET THE AMBASSADOR GO!
