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

Some Nigerian governors should be probed for sponsoring terorism - CAN


Christian Association of Nigeria on Monday said it suspected that some governors could be sponsoring terrorist activities in Nigeria. The association in a communique at
the end of a meeting of its North Central zone, which comprises seven states including the Federal Capital Territory, called on the Federal Government to investigate some sitting governors over the activities of Boko Haram insurgents and Fulani herdsmen in the country.

The communique, read by the zonal Chairman, Rev Yakubu Pam, said, “The Federal Government should thoroughly investigate some sitting governors who speak in favour of the insurgents as they may be sponsors of the Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen.”

While decrying the loss of innocent lives and properties as a result of the sect’s activities, CAN said the wickedness should not be allowed to continue under any guise.

The association expressed regrets that the issue of compensation for affected victims and churches of the 2011 post-election violence, bomb blasts and ethnic crisis has not been handled with probity.

It urged government to investigate allocations and disbursement as well as look into the cases of those who had not been compensated at all.
