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

Real Madrid Spent A Fortune On Gareth Bale For Clasico Goals Like This Against Barcelona


Real Madrid's Welsh forward Gareth Bale celebrates after scoring during the Spanish Copa del Rey (King's Cup) final 'Clasico' football match FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid CF at the Mestalla stadium in Valencia on April 16, 2014.
Speed is a scalar quantity that measures how fast an object is moving. Velocity is a vector quantity that measures the rate of change of the position of an object. Gareth Bale is a football quantity known for his jaw-dropping speed and velocity.
Got it? Anyone needing further explanation of Bale's qualities can consult the Barcelona defense.

With teammate Cristiano Ronaldo sidelined by a leg injury, Bale showed why Real Madrid set a transfer record to bring him to Spain early in the 2013-2014 campaign. The 24-year-old used his blazing speed to burn the Barcelona defense during a decisive scoring surge in the Copa Del Rey final on Wednesday evening in Valencia.
After receiving a pass from teammate Fabio Coentrao just beyond midfield, Bale knocked the ball forward. Before he could run onto it, Bale was promptly knocked out of bounds by Barcelona defender Marc Bartra. It didn't matter. Bale somehow won the footrace to the ball despite having to cover so much more ground than Bartra. After completing his blistering but circuitous dash, Bale controlled the ball while hardly lessening his breakneck pace, shielded the defender eventually closing behind him and then calmly slotted a shot past the goalkeeper.
