COVID-19 IN NIGERIA: WE SAY NO TO CHINA INTERVENTION

Can the world ever trust China again? Would Nigeria romance with the prime suspect of the current global crisis (COVID-19)? How can we? In 2012 China handed over a fully funded and built headquarters building in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to the African Union (AU). A great gesture of friendship and solidarity, perhaps. But not long after, it was alleged to have been bugged, leaking vital, confidential information of the Union to China in faraway Shanghai! True or false, the Union had to change its computer servers to check the alleged mischief. But issues of health are different. Misfiring means losing a life, or even lives. On a national scale, that can amount to thousands. Painful loss. Avoidable loss. The authorities must tread with caution here. Face masks, test kits, ventilators, vaccine and doctors - all from or of China. Hmmmm, caution we must exercise. Until now we have been using our indigenous doctors, and they have been doing well. WHY CHANGE THE WINNING TEAM? Please let us DISCARD this idea of Chinese intervention. WE DON'T NEED IT. Let us stay safe Stay indigenous. Stay Nigerian We shall overcome

Iheanacho shines against Liverpool


Flying Eagles playmaker, Kelechi Iheanacho, continued his impressive display for Manchester City in the team’s pre-season tour with a sterling display against Liverpool on Wednesday.
But the English champions lost 1-3 on penalties to Liverpool after a 2-2 draw, with Iheanacho converting City’s lone spot kick.

He started on the bench for the first time in three games, but came on as a second half substitute for James Milner.

It was from his speculative strike at goal that Stevan Jovetic opened the scoring for City.

That advantage was soon cancelled out by Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson before Jovetic made it 2-1.

But Raheem Sterling levelled scores with five minutes of play left, and the game was decided on penalties.

Alexandr Kolarov, Yaya Toure and Jesus Navas all missed for City before Iheanacho converted.

But after Sturridge missed for Liverpool, Emre Can, Henderson and Lucas all found the target for Liverpool, putting the Anfield giants on top of the group at the International Champions Cup tournament.

The two group winners will meet in the final.
