Misfunction of Nigeria or outsiders? : Nigerians trying to blame others for ills they've not confronted yet?

"This is despite the fact that Sanusi knows quite alright that the alleged attempted bomber spent much, if not most, of his life outside Nigeria rather than inside it thereby foreclosing any possibility of his getting indoctrinated in the North\ Nigeria. In fact, if at all the factor of an actor's milieu is to be fallen back upon for explanation on Faruq Mutallab's alleged terrorist act, countries like Togo, Britain, Dubai and Yemen where the young Mutallab had cause to spend some considerable spell of his lifetime should be the focus of our attention and, hence, the target of our vituperation; not Nigeria- a country that gave Faruk only his primary education.

Without attempting to question the competence of Sanusi as a columnist, the finality of his argument made me wonder whether he had read enough of literature before daily trust thought of thrusting a whole column unto his lap. If at all he did, why then would he (as a journalist or columnist) so presumptuously and uncritically accept or, to put it precisely, believe, that the attempted airliner bombing by Faruk really take place and was not a hoax. And, why would Mal. Sanusi even make the sheepishly sloppy attempt to draw correlation or a functional relationship between the alleged attempted bombing and the social super structure in the Muslim North? That was what statisticians would call 'type I error'!

It is my firm believe that, if Sanusi had only been aware of such incidences as the Lavon Affair and the 9/11 conspiracy theory propounded on sound empirical evidences by no less a person than the US's David Duke, he would not only have treated the "Mutallab Saga" with the uttermost circumspection deserving of it, but also, tarried his pouring of venom and blame on Northern Nigerian Muslims for the alleged attempted act. Let me enlighten Sanusi on the accounts of the above conspiratorial plots so that when next time news of Faruk Mutallab's nature comes up on the global media market, he would have first to critically examine the "commodity" before buying it blindly and going ahead to harp and pontificate about its quality and all that jazz."
