“ In terms of whether it came with a cost, it was handed to me without an invoice , so I assume it didn ’ t come with any cost. ”

Accuracy of coronavirus tests used in Tanzania has been questioned by the country’s president after a goat and a papaya both tested positive for the disease.
President John Magufuli, whose government has already faced criticism over its handling of coronavirus outbreak and has previously asked people to pray the disease away, said the kits had “technical errors”.
He said the COVID-19 tests had been imported from abroad, although he did not give further details.
‘We should not accept that every aid is meant to be good for this nation,’ said President Magufuli.
The president claimed he asked security forces to check the quality of the kits and that they randomly obtained several non-human samples, including from a papaya, a goat and a sheep, but had assigned them human names and ages.
The samples were then submitted to Tanzania’s laboratory to test for the coronavirus, with the lab technicians deliberately not made aware of their origins.
Mr Magufuli said the return of positive results on the goat and papaya indicated some people were testing positive despite not having the virus.
“There is something happening. I said before we should not accept that every aid is meant to be good for this nation,” he said, adding that the kits should be investigated.
Mr Magufuli also said he was sending a plane to collect a herbal cure being promoted by Madagascar’s president.

National coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Sani Aliyu, has warned states against competiting with numbers of COVID-19 cases amongst them.
This was said at a briefing of the task force on Monday at Abuja, Aliyu urged state governments to be transparent about figures of cases.
He stated: “COVID-19 numbers is not an issue of competition between states. “There’s no shame if a state comes out with positive numbers.
“In order to deal with an epidemic, we need to have transparency in numbers and that transparency is linked to the number of tests.
“If you do not know the extent of a problem, you’ll not be able to deal with it.
“So I’m appealing to state governments to please continue to support the state emergency operating centres, the state ministry of health and make sure that everybody who needs to be tested for COVID-19 in any state in the country has that opportunity of having the test done.”

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) addressed, the May/June 2020 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, 2020 (WASSCE), has not been cancelled.
This was made known in a statement by the Head of WAEC, Nigeria, Mr Patrick Areghan, on Sunday.
The body enumerated that a notice alleging the cancellation of 2020 WASSCE did not come from the council.
The WAEC boss stated,(NAN), “Our attention has been drawn to a fake publication circulating in the social media, to the effect that the WAEC has cancelled the conduct of the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2020, as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic and was therefore, set to refund N22,500 to candidates who had enrolled for the examination.
”The publication is patently false and deceitful.
” It is nothing but the handiwork of mischief makers who are out to defraud innocent and unsuspecting candidates and their parents/guardians.
”This piece of news is certainly not from the WAEC. It falls short of the council’s style, language and factual details. They got it all wrong.
“To begin with, the fee for the examination is N13,950 only and not N22,500.
”WAEC, as an examining body in the sub-region, has not announced the cancellation of the examination.
”It only announced a postponement until normalcy is restored. WAEC couldn’t have made a mistake in the full meaning of its acronym.
”We wish to use this opportunity to reassure all registered candidates, schools and other stakeholders that once the situation returns to normal, the council will come up with a new International Timetable for the conduct of the examination in the West African sub-region.
”This will take effect after due consultations with relevant stakeholders. Candidates are, therefore, advised to disregard the publication and concentrate on studying hard for the examination.”

Captain of the Super Eagles, Ahmed Musa and Ade Akinbiyi have been numbered into “The 50 worst players in Premier League history”. This is according to a magazine -FourFourTwo”.
The magazine, incorporated the Eagles captain and British-born Nigerian, Akinbiyi , as couple from those whose careers refused to thrive in the English Premier League.
Ahmed Musa, occupies number 44 on the list. He joined Leicester City in 2016 and scored five goals in 33 games in two seasons.
The magazine pointed out that “ In the glow of their Premier League- winning season, Leicester broke their transfer record to bring Musa to England for £ 16 . 6 m from CSKA, Moscow .
“The Nigerian forward has always been an unremarkable and patchy player, who most importantly, didn’t have a natural place in the Foxes side. At no point in his eighteen months at the King Power Stadium ( 33 games, five goals) did Musa’s transfer ever look likely to be remotely successful. ”
Ade Akinbiyi, born in Hackney, England and has one cap Super Eagles, held the number 29 on the list, ‘‘The 50 worst players in Premier League history”, by FourFourTwo.
“Ade Akinbiyi, Yes , we admit it, this has plenty to do with that game for Leicester against Liverpool. Some twenty years later, it’ s still hard to watch, the wild shanks , the miscued headers , his sad little face, ” FourFourTwo added .
“It would be remiss not to point out that Akinbiyi had a thoroughly respectable career outside the Premier League .
“Burnley, Wolves and Bristol City fans will all remember him fondly, but the memory of that day at Filbert Street is just too vivid . Top – tier spells either side of his two seasons at Leicester – at Norwich and Sheffield United – yielded no goals in 18 appearances. ”, the magazine stressed.
