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

Don’t leave politics to evil men - Obasanjo warns

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday in Abeokuta, Ogun State enjoined Christians to participate actively in politics.The former president warned Christians against being indifferent towards politics, saying this could result in the country falling into the hands of evil men who he said could not offer Nigeria any good.Obasanjo said this during the fifth anniversary thanksgiving service of the Chapel of Christ the Glorious King, a religious arm of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.

While thanking God for the existence of the chapel of which he is the Chief Promoter, he said Christians should stop shying away from partisan politics for the good of the entire country.

Obasanjo said, ” I want to say here that Christians should participate in politics. We should not leave politics in the hands of the evil ones who cannot offer this country any good.”

Earlier in his sermon delivered on the occasion, the former president of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Reverend Ola Akande described the former president as a rare and special gift to Nigeria.

Akande noted that the likes of Obasanjo usually came once in a generation.
