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

Ozil uses World Cup winnings to pay for surgery of 23 ill Brazilian children


Arsenal star, Mesut Ozil has donated his World Cup winnings to pay for the surgery of 23 seriously ill children in Brazil.
Ozil agreed to pay for 11 youngsters' treatment before the tournament began but has since pledged to support 12 more children, in line with the number of players in the victorious German squad.
The Arsenal midfielder, who played a key role as Joachim Low's men defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final, says the gesture is his way of thanking the Brazilian general public.

“Prior to the World Cup, I supported the surgery of 11 sick children,” he posted on his official Facebook page.

“Since the victory in the World Cup is not only due to 11 players but to our whole team, I will now raise the number to 23.

“This is my personal thank you for the hospitality of the people of Brazil.”

Each member of Germany's squad received €300,000 [£240,000] for defeating Argentina at the Maracana and Ozil's donation is part of the BigShoe project – whose goal is to help underprivileged children with medical needs.
