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

Relationship matters

Life revolves on relationship. We would sooner or later discover that whatever achievement we have in life came through with the aid of some other. No person is an island. God created us to appreciate and be of help to others. Do not therefore distance yourself from people. You need others just as much as they need you. This is where the principle of love comes in. Without genuine love for another we can't possibly appreciate, much more do anything reasonable to help them. The Bible therefore admonishes us to "let love be genuine" (Rom. 12: 9). This is the effective antidote for spite and hatred.
We need this in the family, in the Church, at work and at play, indeed, everywhere. Love and respect are the twin virtues that build relationship. May the Lord give us grace to that end.
Happy New Month and God bless you.
