Warri____The Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Security, Hon. Daniel Ezekiel, has on Sunday the 3rd, May, 2020. Released a Jingle, cautioning Deltans on the purchase of face mask from sellers and hawkers.

The SSA made this call as a result of a personal experience he had while in a public transit, with a hawker, who was trying to sell a face mask to a gentleman.

Hon. Ezekiel narrated the scenario, whereby, a gentleman in the public transit, stopped a hawker who was hawking face mask on the road. And then, made attempt to buy one for himself, as a protective measure against the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

While making attempt to buy the face mask, the gentlemen started trying out various face masks, in order to figure out which one is suitable for him. The man on the long run, eventually tried several of the face masks, and then bought one at the end.

Hon. Ezekiel then, cautioned the gentleman, pointing out the danger he has posed on potential buyers of the face mask from that very hawker.

Stating that, if the gentleman already had the corona virus, and is unaware of it. He would have successfully transmitted the virus to other potential buyers, by testing out several face mask before picking one to buy.

Hon. Ezekiel further enlightened the gentleman that, even if he does no have the corona virus, he would have exposed himself to the virus, by testing several of the face mask. Not knowing if some one with the Virus has also carried out the same act of testing the masks before buying.

The SSA then admonished that, both the gentleman and others, should be extra careful concerning the virus, as it is real. And as such should be conscious of the face mask they buy especially from hawkers along the road.

Hon. Ezekiel on that note, called on Deltans to be cautious of buying face mask from hawkers along the road, as it is dangerous. Therefore advised Deltans to purchase their face masks from the pharmacy.

We have reported about a lot on child/women abuse and  molestation, ranging from rape, battery, child trafficking and generally school dropped out suffering children, perhaps as a result of poverty or parental negligence. Education is right of every children.

'' As a journalist, there is a length we can push to protect these vulnerable people. Now, we want to go beyond reporting by playing gallantly by signing petitions and going to the court processes, spending resources in paying for legal services to guarantee the safety and protection of abused children/ women.

COVID-19: Warri Based Veteran Journalist, Kagbala Ezekiel Blames World Health Organization For Global Spread of Corona Virus

COVID-19: Warri Based Veteran Journalist, Kagbala Ezekiel Blames World Health Organization For Global Spread of Corona Virus


A veteran Journalist in Delta State, Comrade Ezekiel Kagbala has berated the
The World Health Organization, (WHO) for the Global spread of the deadly corona virus also known as Covid-19

In a statement on Thursday in Delta State, Kagbala noted that the United Nations (UN) was responsible for coordinating global public health.

They went slumbering and caught up in a web of gross ineptitude due to their action and inaction that is killing the world and the Anglo-American world power being worse hit by the Pandemic.

 They gave in to complacency and plunged the world into global health catastrophe, a deadly global pandemic-Corona virus also known as Covid-19. The nonchalant managers of (WHO), in their egregious misdemeanor are not admitting or regretting their docile attitude and coverup that has led on to the global spread of corona virus.

WHO supposed vital role as actors in the field of international public health policy seems misplaced.

 China must have taken advantage of WHO impotency to dodge culpability for spreading Corona Virus globally by their cover-up  and greedy commercial tendency to make every part of the globe their market place.

It will be unthinkable if WHO conspired with China to deliberately cover-up the corona virus which broke out in China 2019, a bad precedence and possibly to achieve a worldwide lockdown for them to be the only country producing and selling to the world.

Intellectuals could conclude that WHO did little or nothing to contain the devilishly made corona virus and allowing it to spread massively in the early days it rears its ugly head in China.

The World Health Organization specifically avoided mentioning Wuhan China but de-emphasize where the pandemic began.

 President of WHO Tedros Adhanom has remained silent in the face of this unfortunate global calamity born out negligence. Debilitating though, no one is sanctioning China for killing the world and running back to business immediately.

If they (WHO) were not complacent and bedevilled with cruel docility they would have been concerted enough to know that China has a history of mishandling outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003.

World Health Organization failed to make global alert or call attention to a global health threat especially when the virus was still in its elementary stage in China. They failed to uphold norms and standards for promoting and monitoring global health practices and situations as acceptable with evolving trends.

 Corona virus is wrecking untold havock, hardships and death across the globe and the Chinese Communist wants everyone to feel that there was little to be concerned about, thereby downplaying a global death sentence for possible commercial interest.

The once praised World Health Organization's response to this recent pandemic COVID-19, was shredded in secrecy, cover-ups, lies and repression, they failed to stop the virus from spreading.

The Director-General of WHO should not be shielded from any criticism for gross ineptitude. He deserves sharp criticism even petitions for his apparent reluctance to declare the outbreak a global health emergency from inception.

However, it will now be in the world's history, that through one country, China, death has spread globally. Now the big question is how and when are we getting out of this global pandemic that has been lingering for months and claiming the lives of young and old people around the world?.
