BURNING POT BY PRINCE CHARLES DICKSON

Fellow Nigerians…I General F. U Muttallab Hereby Declare…

pcdbooks@yahoo.com

I know that a lot of people are upset with me, over the incident that almost occurred on Christmas day and that is putting it most mildly. I did not mean to but it just happened, we can go on the blame game that I did that and did this. However honestly you all created me, my father, mom, friends, the government, the ordinary Nigerians, even the Americans making all the noise.

I am not making light of my actions, which if successfully would have cost over two hundred innocent persons their lives. But I thank God that I failed.

I smile as I read people argue that I was brainwashed…I wished, and with each passing day I am convinced that maybe I was after all. Because if all the education I got could not make a difference then, I was indeed brainwashed and at 23 it must have been way easy.

I had everything, all the pomp and ‘efizzy’ but lacked the morals that went with life, how could I when I grew up in the generation of the ‘Muttallabs’. I was lonely; I said that even though my parents and friends did not see it all. Mine is a lost breed, one of dog eats dog, one that look forward to a bleak future.

I watched slowly as my country was being disintegrated by a handful of vultures. If I was not caught on that fateful Christmas, I would have blown away everyone including myself.

I wanted to be spared all the lies that have continued in my country.  It was becoming unbearable, the madness, the drift and It hurt me that my President who could not talk, because he is so ill, yet he is said to have signed a budget document that would require at least 40minutes to read and yet he cannot talk to Nigeria and Nigerians via radio, phone, video anything and prove that he is improving.

However we are told he is getting better…

What is the definition of getting better? Was it not the same man that a big f… called Obasanjo spoke with on phone during the campaigns when he as usual ‘fainted’?

Come to think of it, has he been told of my actions, how does he feel? I once respected this man but I cannot fathom why he has chosen to mess himself and the nation up.

I originally wanted to blow up Aso Rock but could not think out how best to get a full gathering of the likes of Ibori, Yuguda, Turaki, Obj, and co in one room and send them on an errand of no return.

My name is everywhere people are commenting, Muslims are not like that, Nigerians are like this, we should not be persecuted and even the political suicide bombers in our National Assembly are talking, the terrorists that called themselves governors are condemning me.

As I go through my ordeal,  I read online that Bauchi was on fire, this time kalo kato, before it was book haram,  the next one will be ‘wait mek I catch you’.  What lessons can be learned from my life…I went to Togo for my secondary school, when I could have gone to any of our unity schools but the system had been destroyed by those we entrusted it with.

If only I had gone to a Nigerian university, if only the educational system was not destroyed by the likes of my father whom I cannot help but feel for. See all that he gave me to make life better, a house worth millions, education worth millions, in the face of biting poverty, although some may say he tried for me and it was not his fault. Then my question is whose fault is this all.

While I was in Ghana about to start my deadly adventure, I read again as the Federal Executhief Club approved N7bn ($47m) Residence for the vee pee that we are eagerly pushing to take over in acting capacity as president. Is this how he will act, no one was willing to tell me where Atiku lived and what is wrong with the place, with barely two years to the expiration of his tenure with his sick boss, this is certainly not the rule of law, but reign of hawks.

I am filled with remorse that I have brought this upon you my fellow Nigerians but am I at fault. We are at almost 50 confused as to how we should go about constitutional democracy. I even hear that come Thursday we may have two CJ’s and with that in mind like I said earlier I chose to strike.

I have failed and I can reflect on what could have been…no one would have known it was me or I was Yemen…my country has taught me that hard puzzles are easily solved so I went for the easy way out.

After all no one asked or explained to us how the same Saudi that has harbored our president could not trust its Prince’ health to their own hospitals and the man had to go to the US for better healthcare.

I thought to myself why do we prefer a military coup to giving an Ijaw man the seat even though we know he is a crook, at least he could be voted out if he refused to use the window of opportunity to reform himself and the nation.

Its easy to scapegoat me, I am now the Christmas turkey, but a lot of us forget that many of my brothers are still in Nigeria in different forms, fundamentalists that read the Koran upside down…go to Bauchi, Kano, Borno, Katsina states we are plenty and then I know the militants in the Niger Delta in the next few days will become more restless and already they have started shadowing boxing.

I take this opportunity to say to the World I am sorry. My training abhors apologies but I break convention to say it but like I said there are many more like me but I have learnt my lessons, my friends will not bring the world into our problem, instead we will take our problem into the world.

My others that I refer to will go for the jugulars of the Vagabonds in powers, those that have wrecked the banking industry to the point that sack has become the lot of cashiers that did not take even a N5000 loan.

No one should tow my line; no one should do what I have just attempted to do. But let my experience bad as it may be, let my ideologue evil as it is, be one that would spur great minds to pursue change, a positive change that we believe not the type I tried.

My generation is going the dark tunnel; the hope of light is everyday fast disappearing. I am happy that my parents said I was a good boy until lately, Nigeria was good too until they stopped paying teachers, until they stopped funding education. Fuel disappeared, no portable water, no hospital, bad roads and

In few days in my home nation all these will go away, security still is poor, I gathered they have set up the usual high powered committee and move high powered money will disappear. In USA here they are trying to solve the issues despite their flaws, in Nigeria we sweep it under the carpet.

I want this to be the last, let the shame that I bring this nation serve as a springboard for a revival or else sooner or later Nigeria may burn. God forbid!
