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

Keshi resigns as Nigeria coach

Stephen Keshi has resigned as head coach of Nigeria following their World Cup elimination at the hands of France.
The Super Eagles could not progress past the last 16 of the tournament, losing 2-0 to les Bleus on Monday thanks to a Paul Pogba header and a Joseph Yobo own goal, both of which came late in the game.


Yobo, who picked up his 100th cap against France, announced his retirement to gathered media after the match, although his coach was reluctant to publically confirm he would step down.

However, Keshi is believed to have told Nigerian players following the Afcon champions' exit that he will leave the Super Eagles hotseat with their World Cup now over.

Keshi has stepped aside before only be to convinced to return, after the Confederations Cup last summer, but is set to move on to pastures new, with the post as South Africa coach identified as a possible alternative.
