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.
She noted that even though the terrorist suspect is a Nigerian, he was influenced from outside the country as he lived most of his time in other countries and only transited through Nigeria for less than 30 minutes on the day in question where he attempted to bomb an aircraft.
Continuing, Akunyili read out that: "It is on record that Nigeria has signed and ratified 9 out of 16 United Nations and African Union instruments on counter terrorism dealing with issues ranging from money laundering, drug trafficking, crime, to nuclear terrorism. This is in addition to its various roles in peace keeping which have earned it international recognition and commendations of the UN'.
Akunyili said Nigeria has since December 25th when the unfortunate event occurred,expressed deep sorrow and dismay over the incident which it condemned in all ramifications.
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.
The convoy who noted that the UNSC imposed sanctions which include arms embargo, travel restrictions and asset freezing on Eritrea over alleged role in Somalia as well as refusal to withdraw troops in Djibouti queried the right of the US to determine which country is a terrorist country and which is not.
The Eritrean envoy who reacted to question of US listing Nigerian among the 14 countries said that "we have to call a spade a spade, who decides which country or act as amounting to terrorism."
"14 countries were listed as those not to be stopped from traveling to the USA but that there will be thorough searching and checking but then, what is the reason for that? Who determines that, how can these 14 countries (including Nigeria ) be hosting al-Qaeda and terrorists, it is the double standard of the US " Omaro added.
Omaro who wondered how the Eritrea Government could evade the military bases of US and France with their large naval and air force presence in the Red Sea as well as their sophisticated surveillance system to deliver arms to Somalia armed groups, warned that his people will not succumb to threat and external aggression.
According to him, "the allegations of financial support are equally tenuous. The people and the government of Eritrea are struggling to achieve sustainable socio-economic development through self-reliance. Hence, do not have the financial ability to bankroll armed groups in Somalia .
Eritrea went further to accuse the UN and US of falsifying information especially in the accusation of unresolved dispute with Djibouti, stating that it was aimed at diverting Eritrea from its legal battle to reclaim its occupied territories by Ethiopia.

A 27 year old man is being held by the police in Lagos for attempting to kill his mother on December 30, 2009 over alleged witchcraft which he claimed had retarded the progress of the family.
The man, Nnamdi Mokoye, said he was told by his pastor that his mother who divorced his father 21 years ago, was the architect of the problems in his family. Recounting why he wanted to kill his 50 year old mother, Nnamdi said having experienced abject poverty and frustration for almost three decades, he started going to churches for deliverance and it was in the process that he and his older sister who was sacked by her husband were told that the demon troubling their family was being sponsored by their mother and that they could only experience peace if their mother was eliminated.
On getting to his mother's house on December 30th, Nnamdi asked why she had been bewitching them and that she would see hell if she did not give a satisfactory answer. Before neighbours could get wind of what was happening, 50 year old Mrs. Abigail Nwaje was attacked and badly wounded by her son. Nnamdi took to his heels before neighbours could get to him but he was arrested barely 24 hours later.
Speaking with our reporter, the suspect maintained that he did not set out to kill his mother but to simply find out why she "sold the destiny of all her children to Satan".
"I did not set from Ajegunle to kill my mother but just to find out from her whether she was the witch bedevilling all her children. I dreaded getting into the New Year to still experience all the unforgettable calamities I had experienced since I grew up. I just wanted to confirm our pastor's prophecy but when I got to her house she confronted me angrily.
"We started fighting and she was about to stab me with a scissors and I picked a knife from the table and cut her throat. I really regret my action", he said. Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer Frank Mba said the suspect would be charged to court after investigations had been concluded for attempted murder if his mother could survive the incident.

More facts are emerging in the shocking news about the arrest of former Super Eagles lanky striker, Victor Okechukwu Agali in Holland.
Few hours after the report hit the international media and airwaves that the Levadiakos of Greece striker, who once played for Olympique Marseille and OGC Nice of France, had been arrested at Schiphol Airport near Amsterdam for carrying two fake passports, Agali's lawyer, Bob Kaarls has issued a statement protesting the star's innocence.
Kaarls said Agali, fondly called Okey Banana during his early days in Lagos, was returning to Greece after visiting his wife and child in Nigeria, and disclosed that officials at the star's club had indicated that they are willing to pay the bail to secure their striker's freedom.
Dutch authorities claimed that the Schengen visa contained in the second document, issued by Cyprus, did not meet requisite standards, but Kaarls insists it was all a mix-up.
"The (first) passport judged problematic by officials was sent to him in this form by post by Nigerian authorities in 2007," he said.
Additional reports indicated that the Dutch police have already made an official statement on the development and gendarmerie spokesman, Robert van Kapel explained that Agali was apprehended two days after Christmas.
"At passport control, on December 27, he (Agali) was found to be in possession of a fake passport," said Kapel.
Upon further investigation, the 31-year-old striker in transit at Schiphol on a voyage from Lagos to Athens, turned out to have two sets of fake travel documents, said Van Kapel.
"In the one, the page with his personal particulars has been modified, in the other it was the visa," he said.
A judge will now decide whether to extend the footballer's provisional detention for further investigation.
During his itinerant professional career, Gangling Agali has also played for FC Toulon of France, Germany's Schalke 04 and Hansa Rostock, Xanthi Skoda of Greece and Rizespor of Turkey.
