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

Japan Imposes Sanctions On Russia Over Crimea Crisis


Vladimir Putin

Japan’s Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida on Tuesday announced sanctions on Russia over crisis related to Crimea.

This is contained in a statement released by the ministry.
“The Japanese government does not recognise Crimean referendum which said over 95 per cent of voters wanted the region to join Russia,’’ Kishida said.
Kishida announced the suspension of negotiation with Russia on relaxing visa regulations, and talks on agreements covering investment, outer-space and prevention of dangerous military movement.
A report says that the Crimean parliament adopted a resolution on the independence of the territory, and asked Russia to admit it as its new constituent member.
However, it added that Russian President Vladimir Putin had signed a decree to recognise Crimea as a sovereign and independent state. (Xinhua/NAN)
