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

Manchester City 4-0 Stoke City: Iheanacho's Brace Helps City Ease Past Stoke

Kelechi Iheanacho scored a brace as Manchester City edged closer to Champions League qualification with a comfortable victory at home to Stoke City.
After a tame start, the hosts took the lead on 35 minutes when Fernando headed home from a Jesus Navas corner.
They doubled their advantage shortly before the break when Ryan Shawcross pulled back Iheanacho in the area and Sergio Aguero stepped up to convert the penalty, taking his Premier League goal tally for the season to 23.

Manuel Pellegrini's men extended their advantage on 64 minutes when Pablo Zabaleta broke down the flank and squared for Iheanacho to slot home.

The Nigerian capped an impressive outing with his second goal 11 minutes later when he latched onto a Wilfried Bony pass and skipped around substitute keeper Jakob Haugaard to slot home.

City have now claimed four wins and a draw in their last five league games and the victory sees them move five points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United, who have a game in hand.

Stoke, meanwhile, have now lost three league games in succession, conceding 12 goals, to all but end their hopes of Europa League qualification.
