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

From July 1, Anybody found with old license and number plate would be treated as a criminal- FRSC



The Federal Roads Safety Corps (FRSC) said it would prosecute motorists with old number plates and drivers licence as from July 1.
Corps Commander, Clement Oladele, who is the Head, Advisory and Planning Unit of the Corps, said this on Tuesday in Jalingo at a workshop to sensitise motorists on the need to switch over to the new policy.

Oladele noted that the workshop became necessary given the fact that the June deadline to phase out the old system was fast approaching.

“Nigerians are aware that Oct 1, 2013 was set as deadline for them to switch over to the new licence and number plate following the launch of the new policy by President GoodLuck Jonathan, but for some reasons the deadline was shifted to June, 2014.

“As the new date is fast approaching, there is need for us to sensitise and appeal to Nigerians to switch over to the new licence and number plate.

“We want to let people know that when enforcement commences on July 1, anybody found with the old licence and number plate would be treated as a criminal and would face the full wrath of the law,” he said.

Oladele also said that the new driver’s licence and number plate were designed with security features which would be used to check crime.

“The new number plate is tied to an individual and not the vehicle. This implies that if you change your car, you are expected to visit a Motor Licence Agency and do re-validation for your new vehicle.”

Also speaking, Mr. Peter Kibo, the FRSC Sector Commander in the state, said the sensitisation was a continuous process and appealed to Nigerians to try to obtain the new licence and number plate before the June deadline.
