Also known as dangerous incompetence. We were bequeathed this phenomenon of course by that our brother, Umar Farouk Abdul-Mutallab. Sometime in 2008/09, Farouk, well into his twenties, developed a taste for baby diapers. Eventually, on Christmas day 2009, he donned a Yemeni-made one. Then he got on a US-bound flight, put an airline blanket over his head, put his face in his laps, said his prayers, pulled a Maiduguri-made trigger and blew his balls off directly into his own face.

Also known as dangerous incompetence. We were bequeathed this phenomenon of course by that our brother, Umar Farouk Abdul-Mutallab. Sometime in 2008/09, Farouk, well into his twenties, developed a taste for baby diapers.  Eventually, on Christmas day 2009, he donned a Yemeni-made one. Then he got on a US-bound flight, put an airline blanket over his head, put his face in his laps, said his prayers, pulled a Maiduguri-made trigger and blew his balls off directly into his own face. The mumu boy also managed to completely singe and permanently make bald his pubic region. Faced with this large calamitous calamity, the brother quickly came to the only conclusion he could come to. He realised then that afterlife can wait. I mean, what can a timid man do with all those eager virgins in the sky with a damaged blokos? So Murtallab gave himself up. It was a display of a most aggravated incompetence.

 
Some of our more visible practitioners of Murtallabian tendency were Michael Aandoakaa, George W Bush Jr., Mussolini of Italy, that Pastor with a PhD in how to slap church attendees, Oyedepo…or whatever his name is, and Late Umaru Yar’Adua. In fact, Yar’Adua elevated dangerous incompetence to an all time high in the history of low performing leadership. His incompetence would have been laughable were it not for how it dangerously set Nigeria back in ALL areas of our national life. For a while there, Nigeria was in the firm grip of his provincial and colourless mafia clumsily marshalled by his stroppy and unsmiling wife, Turai. For those who believe in reincarnation, I think Lady Macbeth breezed through here. As she swept through, she collected a lot of balls with her: Yar’Adua’s, Andoakaa’s, Segun Adeniyi’s, etc, etc.
