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

Wenger Regrets Not Signing Yaya Toure


yayaArsene Wenger has revealed the failed opportunity to sign Yaya Toure for Arsenal over a decade ago is one of his biggest regrets.
The midfielder, who is now contracted to Manchester City, featured for Arsenal in a preseason friendly in 2003, but preferred to move to Metalurh Donetsk.
Now, the in-form Ivory Coast international is one of City’s main threats to Arsenal when they play in the Premier League on today.
Toure scored a hat trick in the 5-0 win against Fulham last Saturday and netted again during the 3-0 win against Manchester United in midweek to strengthen City’s title hopes.
Arsenal, meanwhile, lost 6-0 to Chelsea and drew 2-2 with Swansea to see their own title aspirations all but end, and Wenger has rued his failure to add Toure to his ranks when he had the chance.
“It’s up at the top,” Wenger said when asked how highly missing out on Toure ranked on his lift of regrets. “But let’s not forget that Yaya Toure had an agreement with us and it’s not because we did not want to sign him that he went to Ukraine.
“We had to wait for his passport in Belgium. We have made mistakes [with transfers], but this was not a mistake. He preferred to go to Metalurh Donetsk because he could go there without a passport.”
