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

Andres Iniesta: Atleti requires Barca to be focused

Andres Iniesta is confident Barcelona can overcome Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal but warned that any slip up would be costly. The score finished 1-1 in the first leg after Diego Ribas' stunning opener for Atletico was ruled out by Neymar’s equalizer.
Andres Iniesta: Atleti requires Barca to be focused
Following a difficult tie at Camp Nou last week - and with all four clashes between the teams having been draws this season - Iniesta knows his teammates will have to be at their best to eliminate Diego Simeone's men on Wednesday.
"It would be nice to play a great game and reach the semifinals, which is where we want to be," the attacker told Mundo Deportivo. "It was an intense game, both physically and mentally, and there was a lot of pressure [from Atletico in the first leg].

"We will fight for it knowing it will be very intense from the first minute to the last. We have played Atletico four times this season and drawn against them on all four occasions. The conclusion is we are evenly matched. Atletico require you to be very focused and not slip up."
The 29-year-old is set to make his 500th appearance for the Catalans on Wednesday and says it will be a moment of pride for him to earn the landmark cap.
"It is something very special, which makes me very happy," he said. "The years pass and you keep competing and feeling good. This is the hardest club to play for."
