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

PITY FEMI ADESINA

Short of saying Shame to Femi Adesina, Buhari's media man, we say pity him.

You could see this man struggling through a media chat on Channels TV this evening on the security situation in the country. Femi could tell bold-faced lies saying Nigeria's present security state is better than they met in 2015.

Haba, Femi!
Even if you were talking to babies who cannot think!

Thank God Aisha Yesufu was also later interviewed. At least one person with a national conscience spoke. The Co-Convener of BBOG Movement could point out things that Femi decided to deliberately ignore. Before 2015, people could travel through roads in the North without fear, but today you can't. Northern roads are now death traps, a safe haven for terrorists to operate without security agents disturbing them. And Femi would still say it is better now than then.

Please Femi, we know you are doing your work. It is what puts food on your table. Your physical appearance also shows you are doing well.

But we must say: you are feeding off the tears of many. You are revelling over the sorrows of many homes. We believe you have conscience, that part of us that cannot be silenced, though may become hardened following frequent silencing. PLEASE PUT YOUR CONSCIENCE TO WORK AND STOP FEEDING OVER THE TEARS AND SORROWS OF FELLOW NIGERIANS.
