Announcing the ban on entry to journalists in his office on Wednesday, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, also said those who arrived into the country in the last 15 days from the 13 countries, would be subjected to supervised 14 days self-isolation.

EU leaders have agreed to prevent foreigners from entering the European bloc for 30 days as they fight to contain the deadly coronavirus. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the proposal “got a lot of support by the member states. It’s up to them now to implement. They said they will immediately do that.” At a press briefing on Tuesday night, Hans Henri P. Kluge, the World Health Organizations regional director for Europe, said that 152 countries were now affected by COVID-19, creating a “new reality” for millions of people across the world. “Europe is the epicentre of the first pandemic of coronavirus and every country, with no exceptions, need to take their boldest actions to stop or slow down the virus spread. Boldest action should include community action. Thinking that “this does not concern me” is not an option,” he said.

I must admit it’s hard to dislike Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, even as an fan Arsenal. I liked his team’s style of play during his time managing Dortmund. However, my admiration for the German is slowly ebbing away. Liverpool exited the Champions League at the last-16 stage last Wednesday night. The Reds suffered a 4-2 aggregate defeat after extra-time against Spanish team Atletico Madrid. Speaking after the game, his reaction to the defeat was less than gracious. Sky Sports quotes Klopp as saying “I don’t understand with the quality they have the football they play. They could play proper football but they stand deep and have counter-attacks. “I realise I am a really bad loser, especially when the boys put such an effort in against world-class players on the other side who defend with two rows of four. It doesn’t feel right tonight, to be honest.” At least he knows how he came across after the interview. He was annoyed and frustrated by the defeat. However, what did he exp...

End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World, written by Sylvia Browne predicted the global outbreak of coronavirus Remember we told you about a novel that predicted the coronavirus outbreak 40 years ago? It was a thriller,  The Eyes of Darkness, written by Dean Koontz . Looks like it is not the only piece of fiction that predicted the coronavirus outbreak. A book titled End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World, written by Sylvia Browne, also predicted the global outbreak of coronavirus. The book was first published in 2008. A photo of an excerpt from the book is going viral across social media platforms and is spooky enough to reach for that box of tissues to wipe your sweat "In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and bronchial tubes resisting all known treatments," the excerpt read. Doesn't it sound very similar to this novel coronavirus and the ...
