THE USA AS NAMED NIGERIA AMONG OTHERS FOR NEW AIRPORT SCREENING, Dora Akunyili SAYS" It is unfair to discriminate against over 150 million people because of the behaviour of one person"

man na wa o,
                     anyway am not concerned about the visa for myself,am based outside Nigeria and do visit the states often, am only concerned for my fellow brothers and sisters in Nigeria who dream to enter the states, i don't think that should be a problem for you the same thing you left Nigeria to do in the Uk let them also try it in the states,
                 Besides it's will not be good for Nigeria's reputation if the issue is left alone to just go digging

I have to diagree with u there, u don't call bombing an airplane a small accident, those passengers would have died for nothing, it could have been u or any of ur relatives.

Yes we don't deserve to be included in the list but America has to protect their citizens.

The next thing now, America will decrease the amount of oil they buy from Nigeria. Obama said soon after his election that he is going to stop buying oil from countries who are viewed as anti American.


Frying pan to fire,

I do think its an overreaction especially since he was not trined or indoctrinated in Nigeria, and was already residing away from Nigeria for quite a while when he went to the Yemen. This seems to be a kneejerk reaction, but I do understand why.

They need not forget that another Nigerian (his Father), tried to prevent the possibility of a terror threat happening by approaching the US Embassy in Nigeria.

Terror blacklist: US calls Nigeria’s bluff


Washington is set to call Abuja’s bluff on a possible diplomatic row over the administration’s decision to put the country on its terror watch list.
Administration officials have ruled out reversing the action and dared Nigeria to show evidence of a comprehensive plan to fight terror groups.
White House sources said President Barack Obama signed off on the plan based on “preponderance of evidence that Nigeria has become a likely haven for terror groups, like Al-Qaida”.

F.B.I sources said the decision by Washington to place Nigeria on its terror watch list is a preventive measure to disrupt a likely attack on the country.

Officials disclosed that reliable intelligence had concluded that terror groups are likely to use Nigeria as a base for further attacks.
“For years, the C.I.A has documented evidence of Al-Qaida attempting to recruit and gain foothold in Nigeria, and its security agencies did nothing to confront the threat,” top Homeland Department officials stated.
“This is a security situation with the lives of Americans at risk. We are not prepared to risk American lives just to satisfy Nigerian officials” administration sources said.

Besides, the State Department said Nigeria knows what to do to get the country off the watch list.”
There has to be a visible and verifiable evidence that Nigerian authorities are improving security and intelligence gathering against not just terror groups, but also extremists and fundamentalists, especially in the northern part of the country,” State Department officials stated.
The White House also wants Nigeria to close Islamic schools that teach and influence youths into religious extremism.

“We believe measures like these would be concrete evidence the country is serious about fighting terror, rather than threatening the United States,” officials said.
