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
Ashimolowo to Buhari: Looters deserve only 20% of your time
President Muhammadu Buhari has been advised to adopt the Pareto’s
Principle in governance, where just 20 per cent of governance time is
dedicated to the past, “otherwise, it will take forever for majority of
Nigerians to see changes.” Ashimolowo
Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, Senior Pastor of Kingsway International
Christian Centre, KICC, who gave the advice, said going by Parento’s
Principle, the Federal Government should dedicate 20 per cent of its
resources to going after perceived looters, while 80 per cent should be
given to creating an enabling environment for Nigerians.
Speaking to journalists at the 10th edition of the annual widows New Year party in Ode-Omu, Osun State, he said: “President
Buhari is a man of great integrity, who wants the best for the
country. But if he spends all his time pursuing looters, the majority of
us who did not steal will suffer.
“Therefore, he must use the Parento’s Principle to approach
governance. If you have your eyes permanently on the rear view mirror,
you cannot drive fast. The past deserves just 20 per cent attention.”
