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

Keshi backtracks, recalls IK Uche and Kalu Uche for South Africa clash


Coach Stephen Keshi has recalled Villarreal forward Ikechukwu Uche and Al Rayyan SC of Qatar star Kalu Uche for Super Eagles all important Africa Cup of Nations game against South Africa on Wednesday. Nigeria lost 3-2 at home on Saturday to Claude Le Roy’s Congo in Calabar, and will be hoping to bounce back towards qualifying for Morocco 2015. The duo were brought in to replace Uche Nwofor and El Kanemi Warriors goalkeeper David Obiazor who were part of the Eagles that played against the Red Devils.

Keshi last Wednesday revealed the pint-sized player was not invited to be part of the team to play Congo and South Africa in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers because he wanted to be begged.

"He was supposed to be part of the team that is presently in camp but he said we must beg him first to play for Nigeria because he was left out of some competitions but I can’t beg anyone to play for Nigeria, impossible. That’s why he is not here,” said Keshi in a press release by Super Eagles media officer Ben Alaiya.

Uche fell out with the ‘Big Boss’ during the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa and has been snubbed since, missing the Confederations Cup and 2014 Fifa World Cup despite being Nigeria's highest scoring striker in Europe in that period.
