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

As Christian faithful celebrate Easter, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Sen. Bala Mohammed, has called on FCT residents to spread the gospel of love, sacrifice, tolerance and peace.
This is contained in a statement issued
on Saturday in Abuja by Mr Muhammad Sule, the Chief Press Secretary to the FCT Minister.
The minister made this call in his Easter message as Christians all over the world commemorate the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
He congratulated the FCT residents, particularly the Christians, saying that the celebration called for sober reflection as well as emulating the exemplary life of Jesus Christ.
He also urged Nigerians to re-dedicate themselves to the service of God and humanity to make the world a better place.
Mohammed implored Nigerians to continue to supplicate for peace and prosperity to reign in the nation, especially with the current security challenges in the country.
“As you pray for the nation, I enjoin you to also pray for its leadership, for God to continue to guide, protect and also “give President Goodluck Jonathan the strength and wisdom to steer the affairs of the country,” he said.
He further commiserated with those that lost their loved ones and those that survived but sustained various degrees of injury in the recent Nyanya bomb blast.
He assured that the FCT Administration in collaboration with the security agencies were committed to protecting the lives and property of all the residents of the territory.
The minister advised FCT residents to be security conscious and report any suspicious movement to the law enforcement agents, saying “security is everybody’s business.”
