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

Pope Francis promised to visit Nigeria - Jonathan


President Goodluck Jonathan, Sunday, said Pope Francis has promised to visit Nigeria. A statement from the president’s office,
however, did not give any timing for the proposed visit.
It says they discussed poverty alleviation and inter-faith dialogue. The country’s population is divided almost equally between Muslims and Christians and Catholics make up about a quarter of Christians, an estimated 21 million Nigerians.

Many Christians belong to evangelical churches that have been winning converts from traditional churches. Pope Francis has committed to travel to the Holy Land and South Korea in 2014 and said he wants to visit The Philippines and Sri Lanka in coming years. His predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, visited Africa twice.
