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

The United States of America (USA) has at last demonstrated commitment to Africa's fight against terrorism. This is at the backdrop of Nigeria expressing dissatisfaction at their assistance to the country in her struggle against Boko Haram. This and other pictures here show the US commitment.

Some American and Spanish soldiers training African soldiers on effective counter terrorism fight against Boko Haram at the annual 'Flintlock' counter-terrorism exercise, a 10-year U.S -sponsored initiative aimed at bolstering African nations' ability to fight militant groups operating in Africa.
