Actually, it's really not about being legit or not. Alot of poor people need help this lockdown period and we don't even know when it would come to an end. Meaning, with time, more and more people would also need help. Even the rich(That's us) might become drained in the process of helping the poor.

At this point, the only hope is to look upto God - He is the biggest helper!
The big question is, Have you talked to God today? Please do, and log out of nairaland. God would surely locate you. Trust me on this one.

Na wahooo!!! Africa and mental slavery na 5 and 6, so he should look unto God to locate him to give him money. The money that even if this gentleman can get 10k naira , he would think of even give out to somebody else in need, seriously u need liberation bro, you are religious but not spiritual, u remind me of one of my white friends here before I left naija, whenever I told him that I’m in need of so, so, so and so, the guy will tell me that there should be friends to get all those things. Change ur way brother, you may disappointedly find yourself in the hellfire at the end if u continue like this, I’m not judging oooh, you can call me names, I don’t care

The truth is that Nigeria cannot curtail this virus, we may want to but poverty or hunger, insensitivity of our government to the plight of masses and our lifestyles may never allow us to

Wilstino:
Before you speculate, Experts says wearing nose mask, only helps prevent an infected person from passing the virus, it does not prevent an uninfected person from contracting it. Hence social distancing and good hygiene is being advocated. This is also the reason people are now advised to wear nose mask.

Hence, you may also look at it from the angle that Mr President is clean and doesn't want anyone meeting with him, to infect him with the virus.

So Johnson Boris doesn’t have good ? Continue defending ‘indefendable’

Thank God, the earlier we detect the better for us, I can’t imagine people living with this virus remain undetected, it is too contagious

China has imposed restrictions on the publication of academic research on the origins of the novel coronavirus, according to a central government directive and online notices published by two Chinese universities, that have since been removed from the web, CNN reports.

Under the new policy, all academic papers on Covid-19 will be subject to extra vetting before being submitted for publication. Studies on the origin of the virus will receive extra scrutiny and must be approved by central government officials, according to the now-deleted posts.


A medical expert in Hong Kong who collaborated with mainland researchers to publish a clinical analysis of Covid-19 cases in an international medical journal said his work did not undergo such vetting in February.

The increased scrutiny appears to be the latest effort by the Chinese government to control the narrative on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed more than 100,000 lives and sickened 1.7 million people worldwide since it first broke out in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December.
Since late January, Chinese researchers have published a series of Covid-19 studies in influential international medical journals. Some findings about early coronavirus cases — such as when human-to-human transition first appeared — have raised questions over the official government account of the outbreak and sparked controversy on Chinese social media.

And now, Chinese authorities appear to be tightening their grip on the publication of Covid-19 research.


A Chinese researcher who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation said the move was a worrying development that would likely obstruct important scientific research.

“I think it is a coordinated effort from (the) Chinese government to control (the) narrative, and paint it as if the outbreak did not originate in China,” the researcher told CNN. “And I don’t think they will really tolerate any objective study to investigate the origination of this disease.”


CNN has reached out to China’s foreign ministry for comment.

According to the directive issued by the Ministry of Education’s science and technology department, “academic papers about tracing the origin of the virus must be strictly and tightly managed.”

The directive lays out layers of approval for these papers, starting with the academic committees at universities.


They are then required to be sent to the education ministry’s science and technology department, which then forwards the papers to a task-force under the State Council for vetting. Only after the universities hear back from the task-force can the papers be submitted to journals.

Other papers on Covid-19 will be vetted by universities’ academic committees, based on conditions such as the “academic value” of the study, and whether the “timing for publishing” is right.

The directive is based on instructions issued during a March 25 meeting held by the State Council’s task-force on the prevention and control of Covid-19, it said.


The document was first posted Friday morning on the website of the Fudan University in Shanghai, one of China’s leading universities.

When CNN called a contact number left at the end of the notice, a staff member of the education ministry’s science and technology department confirmed they had issued the directive.

“It is not supposed to be made public — it is an internal document,” said the person, who refused to reveal his name.


A few hours later, the Fudan University page was taken down.

The China University of Geoscience in Wuhan also posted a similar notice about the extra vetting on Covid-19 papers on its website. The page has since been deleted, but a cached version of it remains accessible.

The Chinese researcher who spoke to CNN said the notice was issued a few days ago, adding that only Covid-19 research was subject to the additional checks.


David Hui Shu-cheong, a respiratory medicine expert at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said he did not encounter any additional vetting when he and a team of mainland Chinese researchers published a clinical analysis of Covid-19 cases in the New England Journal of Medicine in February.

“The process was really simple then,” he told CNN over the phone.

Hui said he was still revising the draft of the paper until 3 a.m. on the day it was due for submission, and the paper was sent to the NEJM by midday.


“There was completely no restriction at all,” he said.

“I don’t know if it is because some researchers published something that is considered sensitive domestically in China. (I’m) not sure if it is because of the controversy about the origin of the virus later, and the non-sensitive stuff becomes sensitive too.”

President Donald Trump participated in an
Easter Blessing from the Oval Office on
Good Friday.
Trump said:
“On this Good Friday, Christians from all
around the world remember the suffering
and death upon the cross of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. At Easter Sunday we
will celebrate His glorious resurrection. At
this holy time, our nation is engaged in a
battle like never before, the invisible
enemy. Our brave doctors, nurses,
responders, first responders, responders of
all, are fighting to save lives. Our workers
are racing to deliver critical medical
supplies. Our best scientists are working
around the clock to develop life saving
therapeutics and I think they’re doing really
well in doing so.
“Our people are making tremendous
sacrifices to end this pandemic. Though we
will not be able to gather together with one
another as we normally would on Easter,
we could use this sacred time to focus on
prayer, reflection and growing in our
personal relationship with God – so
important.
“I ask all Americans to pray that God will
heal our nation, to bring comfort to those
who are grieving, to give strength to
doctors, nurses and health care workers to
restore health to the sick, and to renew the
hope in every person who is suffering. Our
nation will come through like never before.
Trump thanked those who have prayed and
reaffirmed the power of prayer.
“As our nation battles the invisible enemy,
we reaffirm that Americans believe in the
power of prayer. We give thanks for the
majesty of creation and for the gift of
eternal life and we place our trust in the
hands of almighty God,” he said.
The full text of Donald Trump’s Easter
message is below:
Well, thank you very much. On this Good
Friday, Christians from all around the world
remember the suffering and death upon the
cross of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
At Easter Sunday, we will celebrate his
glorious resurrection.
At this holy time, our nation is engaged in a
battle like never before — the invisible
enemy. Our brave doctors, nurses, and
responders — first responders, responders of
all — are fighting to save lives. Our workers
are racing to deliver critical medical supplies.
Our best scientists are working around the
clock to develop lifesaving therapeutics, and I
think they’re doing really well in doing so. Our
people are making tremendous sacrifices to
end this pandemic.
Though we will not be able to gather together
with one another as we normally would on
Easter, we can use this sacred time to focus
on prayer, reflection, and growing in our
personal relationship with God. So important.
I ask all Americans to pray that God will heal
our nation; to bring comfort to those who are
grieving; to give strength to the doctors,
nurses, and healthcare workers; to restore
health to the sick; and to renew the hope in
every person who is suffering. Our nation will
come through like never before.
I thank the many families who have prayed
for me and for my family. And your prayers
are felt, and I am forever grateful.
I’d like to thank our great Vice President and
his wonderful wife, who we all know very
well, Karen, for the incredible job they do and
for their service not only to the country but
for their service to God.
Almost 3,000 years ago, the Prophet Isaiah
wrote these words: “Darkness covers the
Earth…but the Lord rises upon you, and His
glory appears over you…For the Lord will be
your everlasting light.”
As our nation battles the invisible enemy, we
reaffirm that Americans believe in the power
of prayer. We give thanks for the majesty of
creation and for the gift of eternal life. And
we place our trust in the hands of Almighty
God.
I’d like to just wish everybody a very Happy
Easter. We’re going to be celebrating that
very, very special day, and it’s going to be,
hopefully, a very good weekend and a very
productive weekend.
And I want to thank everybody in our country
and beyond for all they’ve had to put up with.
One hundred and eighty-four countries, as of
this morning, are fighting this enemy and we
pray for them all.

Looters and thief's.

Minister? What class are u pls?

Medical doctors are the most hardworking with their profession in Nigeria, they work day and night and improve themselves at every opportunity they have, it’s an insult and unethical to import their ‘chinko’ counterparts to come and do their job here, as far as I’m concerned I still believe and trust in Nigerian doctors..it is those politicians who never treated themselves in Nigeria hospital and by Nigerian doctors that really need this ‘chinko’ doctors

Dey deceive una sef Dey go

You do not know history

Really? Pls tell me what I don’t know sir.. tell me just three developments done to Africa in the recent century, let’s start from there

Onyocha:
Why do I feel this is a deliberately targeted propaganda wave targeting China in Nigeria?

The Americans do not have enough materials to help their people in the US. I have not heard of America sending aid to China during this pandemic. Instead, I have heard of China and Russia sending aid and medical materials to both Italy and the US. How can the US go into another country like China and be doing charity? This is fishy.

Seun, your forum is being used to spread anti Chinese propaganda. We have no idea why those Nigerians were driven out of their homes and if government of China was involved or Sahara Reporters are spreading propaganda sources from the people feeding them allegations that they were targeted because they're Nigerians or Blacks. What if they didn't pay house rent? What if they hadn't been tested? So many ifs. Now your moderators are pushing to the front page anti Chinese propaganda. I pray their embassy are following social media so they can hold you accountable.

Historically bro these Americans and Europeans are more charitable, they have more human feelings

Good news for Nigeria... the earlier we detect the infected, the better for us

Old enough to be older and sensible than you

Ok, I’ve known how old and sensible u are ... u have given me the clues, stay blessed

MERCHANDISER:
Western media has made everything non_western evil. We
need to sit down and look at it logically.
Nigeria has been struggling to fight BH for decade, US has
never shown any genuine support, infact, at a time they're
were technically supporting BH by blocking every
opportunity
to access weapons. Whereas, the same US has been
building sophisticated millitary bases all over Africa
with

several billions of dollars even all over islands in Africa. In
a
continent struggling to provide as basic thing as clean
water,
road, edu, etc. In term of infrastructural development, US
hasnt built anything tangible anywhere in Africa despite her
big economy and influence.
On the other hand, China is building projects across Africa
from electricity to train to Airport, roads, scholarships to
Africans, etc even with their own money. Let's say we can't
pay and they take over them, who would still be using
those
infrastructure, Chinese? At least they brought them here, so
if we can't pay back and they take over them these things
would still be in use by Africans and improve quality of life,
just like every private business.
US/Trump that everyone is supporting call Africans all kinds
to unprintable names, visa ban, reporting weak sides of
African nations and continuously ridiculing everything we
do.
The list is long. China hasnt done any of these yet, western
media still find their ways into the hearts of Africans to
hate
Chinese. Sadly, enough some fake pastors joined this
brainwashed citizens.
Look at China, how many times have they tumbled African
govt? How many nations have China invaded in Africa?
How
many times has Chinese embassy criticize our local affairs?
Etc
New York started have underground train in 1809, that's
200yrs, they never extended such to Africa. China started
booming just 20yrs ago and they've extended everything
technology they have to us, that have improved our lives;
From phones, train, Good Airport, Naval ship, Telecom,
Roads, scholarships, etc
Africans must sitdown and think. China is not your enemy

All the names called by the US/Trump are the wake up call, but the myopic Africans including u would never see it that way... are u telling me that China knows nothing and having nothing hidden about the corona , then you are kidding

An architecture graduate teaching technology and science, that’s how we miss it in Africa...that’s why a professor in the department of microbiology will tell u that u are fit to work in any field, that’s why some engineers and doctors would listen to this nonsense and believe it.. common sense isn’t common indeed
