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

Dunga returns as Brazil coach


Brazil’s football federation (CBF) has confirmed the appointment of Dunga as the country’s new coach.
The 1994 World Cup-winning captain returns for what will be his second stint in charge of the Selecao, having spent four years at the helm from 2006 to 2010, Goal reports.
He succeeds Luiz Felipe Scolari, who left the post after failing to secure Brazil’s first World Cup victory on home soil following a humbling 7-1 defeat to Germany in the semi-finals.

In Dunga’s previous spell in charge of his country, he won 42 and lost just six of his 60 games, guiding the five-time world champions to Copa America and Confederations Cup titles, but was criticised for his pragmatic approach.

The 50-year-old was sacked after suffering a World Cup quarter-final defeat to the Netherlands in 2010.

His first Brazil squad will be announced in late August ahead of the Selecao’s Gillette Brasil Global Tour friendly fixtures with Colombia and Ecuador in the United States.
