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

Building strong Eagles more important for me now – Keshi


Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi who came under fire for shunning a meeting with the Nigeria Football Federation technical committee for a function in Lagos, has stated that he was more concerned about building a solid team that will represent Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup and would not be drawn into any controversy with his employers.
The NFF on Thursday issued Keshi a query, but in a chat with super-sports.com, the former Super Eagles captain declared that he will not say a word concerning the issue at the moment.

“I don’t really want to comment on this because a lot of people will misinterpret what I will say. Let them (NFF) accuse me of everything, I really don’t care.

“I want to concentrate on my job of building a strong team. That’s the most important thing.

“I pray that the work I have been doing to build a strong Nigerian team for the World Cup comes out well because it will also be great for Africa.

“I will not say anything about the query but when it gets to a point, I will say something.

“Right now, I will be quiet but when I am ready to talk, you will be the first to hear,” Keshi said.

This stance by Keshi is bound to stoke the fire of a frosty relationship between the coach and the NFF. There has been no love lost between the federation the coach since he temporarily quit the national team after winning the nations cup in South Africa and accusing the NFF of not paying his salary for six months.

Keshi said that he was looking to prepare his team in peace and harmony adding that distractions such as these will put the spanner in the works. He also prayed that the players and the coaches are not owed their entitlements.
