“the United States of America’s decision to list Nigeria on their terror list is irrational and lacks objectivity.“The arguments that have been raised are straight forward. Places where terrorism schools are, are located outside Nigeria and those are the countries where people are indoctrinated. Nigeria has nothing to do with terrorism except for one aberrant lad who attempted to blow up a plane and he is already paying for it.
“I do not know of any other country where a parent has done what the father of Farouk Umar Abdulmutallab did in advance, for reporting his son to both the United States and Nigerian security agencies.
“What concerns me is what led the US government to take this decision. I am sure it must be due to lack of good governance which is as a result of Nigeria being a rudderless nation. The decision is timely because of the present state of anarchy in the country. Nigeria is presently a black whole in the galaxy of nations. Unpredictability of the Nigerian nation and our battered image abroad must have also contributed.
“What they are doing is not a way of punishing the government of Nigeria but a people. They should allow us to handle the government and stop harassing innocent Nigerians. Their action is irrational and lacks objectivity,” he said.
