Following the blacklisting of Nigeria by USA the President yesterday called
President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua yesterday called key government officials, including Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan, on phone and spoke with them on key national issues, his Chief Economic Adviser, Mallam Tanimu Yakubu, informed THISDAY last night.Of paramount importance to him now, according to Yakubu, is the passage of the anti-terrorism bill which Yar’Adua forwarded to the National Assembly in October 2009.
The importance of the bill now is obviously highlighted by the recent alleged attempt by a Nigerian, Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, to bomb an American airliner.
This incident has led to the blacklisting of Nigeria by the US authorities as a “country of interest” in its global war against terrorism.
And my question is could this be true or are they trying to deceive us onece again?

This is very bad for USA to have taken such an action. I hope they reverse their action and tender apology for such.

it must be a ghost phoning the vp and others. The President was elected by the citizens of NIgeria. If it is true he spoke to those people why can't he speak to his people. Who is kidding who? The world is too advanced to be hearing all these cock and bull story.

i think their problem is that they have ran out of the usual lies they use to tell Nigerians. well; we just wait and see, i think this might open every body's eyes to see what our leaders have become, and talking about USA, i think they were a bit hash on the matter though it might turn out to be a kind of an eye opener for NIgerians/leaders.

These people cannot be trusted. They regard every other Nigerian that is outside their clique as morons. There is no truth in whatever anyone of them is saying. They are always out to take us for a ride.
