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

Super Eagles to get $5000 per goal scored

In a sustained effort to boost their morale and drive the Super Eagles to victory, Guinness Nigeria PLC, makers’ of Nigeria’s number one premium brand, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, has declared an increase in the dollar reward per goal offered to Super Eagles in the group stages from original $2,000 to $5,000 dollars,
thus further demonstrating its position as the number one supporter of the Super Eagles and by providing innovative ways for millions of Nigerian fans to show their support for the team at the World Cup in Brazil.
This came not too long after, the brewing giant renewed its sponsorship of the national team as the Official Beer sponsor of the Super Eagles for the next 4 years


Austin Ufomba, the Director of Marketing and Innovations at Guinness Nigeria said that the increment was necessary to encourage the players to give more than they normally would. “We are confident in the ability of the Super Eagles despite their performance with the Iranian team and we urge all Nigerians to share in this confidence and this is the reason why we have decided to reassure Nigerians by upping the stakes for the team to also let them know that they have the support of Nigerians at this time” Ufomba stated.
