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

Jonathan cancels trip to Ibadan, visits Abuja Bomb blast scene


President Goodluck Jonathan has cancelled his proposed trip to Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, following the early morning bomb explosion that killed scores of people in Abuja.
Jonathan was initially billed to attend the
centenary birthday service of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Odulana Odugade, which took place in the ancient town on Monday.
The President who changed his plan visited the blast scene in Abuja.

 The president expressed condolences to the families of the victims of the incidence.

He commended the security services ‎for their prompt action.

“Though we lost quite a number of people, we condole with our country men and women,” he said.

The president said the issue of Boko Haram was temporary while government would continue to work hard to curtail it.

“Government is doing everything possible to make sure that we move our country forward, in spite of all the distractions that want to take us backward.

“We promise that we will get over it. The security services will continue to work very hard. God willing, we will get over it.”
