It is quite sad that we have pushed ourselves to the point in this country that when any public appointment is announced, most Nigerians would first research the tribe of the appointee before they research his academic qualifications and competence for the job!

Since most viruses that cause pandemics (e.g Ebola, COVID-19) are contracted from animals, why can’t the world invest heavily in isolating these viruses in animals & develop human vaccines for them in anticipation that one day humans might contract the viruses from these animals?

It would appear that majority of those who demand accountability from public officers do so for selfish reasons as they really would not mind if they benefit from some unethical behavior of the public officers; their watchdog role is just to ensure that they are not ‘left out’

I found this so hilarious but I thought - We fear the unknown no matter how helpful it is meant to be .. this is why combating a pandemic without public trust in government and health care delivery and without true community buy in will prove ineffective

The moment God gives you a word, Satan walks in with a visible circumstance of fear to make you unstable in your ways. Always expect demonic opposition when God gives you a Word of hope. Because the devil doesn’t want to see you embrace your miracle.

We want to be inclusive. We want to have our shareholders, our employees, our customers, whether they are Democrat, Republican, Green or Libertarian, to feel comfortable with how we're doing business. And so that tends to be apolitical. People say, 'No, no, I just simply shouldn't get involved in politics.'
