Every once in a while, an event occurs that challenges an individual, and ends up defining that individual. In our case, the COVID-19 has challenged Governor Sanwoolu; & like a colossus, he has risen to the challenge. He is defining himself. I salute you @jidesanwoolu .

This is not an accurate statement, dear Datti. Shell is selling its on-shore assets, but are still very strong in their off-shore business. So, it's not true that they're leaving Nigeria. As leaders, we owe accurate information, and not a misleading or sensational one. Cheers.

Ouch! No, we don't do that. It's not sycophancy to commend someone for doing a good job; even when he's paid to do it. You don't need to look very far to see the opposite. Still, thank you.

A very bad day at the office today for United. What they need urgently is a Manager; they have enough good players. The ref didn't help in this match with the sending off. Pity.

I tweeted here recently that the modern game has passed Jose by; I'm reaffirming my position. With the quality of players at his disposal, United had no business losing to any relegation side. Pity.

1. Unless a miracle occurs, Nigeria seems poised to welcome a regime change, the first time in her history. Glad to be alive to witness it.

Real minus CR7. Pathetic. A tree does make some forest; I know now

Our various governments have relaxed the lockdown, NOT COVID-19! It's protocols have therefore not CHANGED: 1. Wash your hands as often as you need to; 2. Stay home as much as you can. If you're over 60, stay home; 3. Wear your face mask, if you have to go out; (contd)
