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

15 courageous steps to success - Julius Babatunde


The hard things are the easiest things to avoid, to excuse away, to pretend like they don’t apply to you. but they are the things makes you. The simple truth about how ordinary people accomplish outrageous feats of success, is that they do the hard things. That the smarter, the wealthier, and more qualified people don’t have the courage to do.
You have to do the hard things, the things that no one else is doing, the things that scare you. The things that make you wonder how much longer you can hold on. Those are the things that define you. Those are the things that make the difference between living a life of mediocrity or outrageous success.
Here are 15 courageous steps you have to take, to achieve the success of your dream.
1.     You have to take the step you’re afraid to take.
2.     You have to get up earlier than you ever want to.
3.     You have to give more than you get in return.
4.     You have to care more about others than they care about you.
5.     You have to keep fighting even when you are already injured, bloody, and sore.
6.     You have to lead when no one is following.
7.     You have to invest in yourself, even when no one else is ready to invest in you.
8.     You have to face looking like a fool, while you’re looking for the answers you don’t have.
9.     You have to deliver results when making excuses is an option.
10. You have to search for your own explanations, even when you’re told to accept the “facts.”
11. You have to face your mistakes, even when you look like an idiot.
12. You have to try and try even when you fail, try again.
13. You have to run faster, even though you’re out of breath.
14. You have to meet deadlines that are unreasonable to deliver the results that are unparalleled.
15. You have to keep moving towards where you want to be, no matter what’s in front of you.
