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

Jonathan hails Nigeria’s performance at Commonwealth Games


President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday congratulated members of the Nigerian team to the recently concluded Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, for their sterling performance at the games.

Jonathan, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, particularly applauded the elating accomplishment of Blessing Okagbare who dominated the female sprint events, and other athletes who won medals for the country at the games.
According to him, the athletes’ impressive performance at the games which resulted in Nigeria placing 8th out of 71 participating countries is a further demonstration of the indomitable spirit of Nigerians and the great heights they can attain with hard work, commitment, dedication, courage and patriotism.

He assured the athletes and their handlers that his administration will continue to do its best to encourage them and support sports development in the country.

The President looked forward to receiving and honouring the medal winners and their coaches at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
