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.

In fact, if only these extremist schools are closed, and they go to conventional schools, then their problems will be half solved in the north.

tru dat close dem schools down and teach real stuvs, that will make Nigerian youth well rounded.

Those schools are breeding suiciders, and Almajiris. The north does not need them.

I cant defend what I dont know about islamiyyah schools in some countries abroad, but islamic schools in Nigeria only teach reading and writing in arabic, quran and basic knowledge about the islamic religion. fanatism is always a personal decision taken by a few misguided individuals, but they are not taught that in any islamic school.

As much as I am a 100% supporter of compulsory western education to be enforced in the north, I am also 100% supporter of islamic schools because God must always come first.

Lets not lie to ourselves there are some(not all) islamic schools in the North that teach extremism. When Nigeria sets religion apart from government Nigeria will be ready to grow up.
