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

Di Maria defends 'scapegoat' Messi


Angel Di Maria has defended Lionel Messi and claimed his fellow Argentine is often made the scapegoat for Barcelona’s failings.
Messi has been widely criticized for his performances in recent weeks with Barca’s hopes of silverware taking a major hit.

The four-time Ballon d’Or winner was a peripheral figure as the Catalans lost 2-1 to Di Maria’s Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday night.

That showing came on the back of below-par performances in defeats to Atletico Madrid and Granada as Barca crashed out of the Champions League and lost ground in the race for La Liga.
He told Radio America: “Messi is calm. He’s not in a bad moment but the opposition have controlled him very well. The problem is that the press always take it out on Messi even when the whole team don’t play well.”
In contrast, Di Maria is enjoying his finest period in a Madrid shirt and continued his recent form by scoring the opening goal against Barca at the Mestalla.
“It’s my best moment since I arrived at Real Madrid,” he said. “It would be beautiful to win my first Champions League.”
Madrid hosts reigning European champion Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal clash on Wednesday night.
