Abuja — FEDERAL Executive Council (FEC) has described as highhanded and unfair, decision by the United States government to list the country among those to be watched over terror even as the government of Eritrea has pitched its tents with Nigeria in condemning the listing.
Addressing State House Correspondents after the first meeting of the Federal Executive Council, FEC in 2010, Minister of Information and Communication, Prof Dora Akunyili stated that after reviewing the development, government has come to the conclusion that the US verdict on Nigeria was highhanded, especially that the country has participated very actively in all anti-terrorist efforts to wipe out global vices and ratifying other documents to back its commitment.
"Nigeria expresses its disappointment and concern over the underserved placement of the country on the country of interest list and views this action as having the potential of undermining long standing and established US-Nigeria bilateral ties and the goodwill the US enjoys in Nigeria," said the council.

Meanwhile, the government of Eritrea yesterday described the listing of Nigeria and other countries on the watch list of terrorism by the United States (US) as a clear display of double standard.
Ambassador of Eritrea to Nigeria , Mohammed Ali Omaro who spoke to newsmen in Abuja also accused the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the US of supporting the continued occupying of Eritrea land by Ethiopia while sanctioning it over frivolous accusation.
I mean, let's stop and think for a minute. The underwear bomber was originally from Nigeria, but lived most of his life --- and got his indoctrination --- elsewhere. Why punish Nigeria now?
Let 'em end their Diplomatic relationship with us. Then we can quit this stupid Kabuki dance and level their rathole of a country.
How sad. What a loss. Does this mean I’m not going to be getting those offers of exciting business opportunities from people there anymore? _</end_irony>
Who knows, if Obozo ticks off enough Afican countries, his ORIGINAL birth certificate could magically appear.

I’m worried about this. I really, really, really, really wanted to vacation over there. Now I’ll have to go to Hawaii or something. Hawaii couldn’t be to bad. I know someone that just got back from there. Even though we are in two wars......they say he had a relaxing time.

Huh? Why do you want to “level” Nigeria?
Not only is this the richest irony against liberals in recent history, it backs up all those who say when attacked, the Dems totally overdo it and cause an unnecessary bloodbath.

So? Apparently they also supply us with psycopathic mass murderers.
