Nigeria's health minister noted that the Chinese team is not in Nigeria to treat patients but to provide first-hand experience and insights on how they were able to bring the spread of the disease under control. CoronavirusInNigeria Coronavirus

The Nigerian Government Thursday said the 15-man team of medical experts from China that arrived the country on Wednesday has begun isolation for 14 days and will be tested for COVID-19 in line with global best practices and government advisory.

Ehanire noted that the Chinese team is not in Nigeria to treat patients but to conduct capacity building based on their experience. He added that the mission will strengthen the response in Nigeria based on lessons from the response in China. “In addition to providing their expertise, the donation provides medical supplies to augment the efforts of the government towards containing the COVID-19 outbreak in Nigeria,” Ehanire said.

Are they better than our medics? What kind of insult and ineptitude is this? Our doctors are one of the bests in UK and USA! So why invite these? There must be an ulterior motive! What's wrong with the leadership? Nigerians, please mind the people you vote to lead!

We don't need them! This is not an intelligent move and an abuse to our medical practitioners! What kind of inept leadership is this?

Have the medical supplies and equipment from China been tested like other countries did? Why is the number of COVID infected individuals increasing since the medical supplies arrived from China?

You better test them o

Lie lie Government our Doctors are doing very fantastic work but instead of incorrange them you like to say you spent billions in human import from china.

Politics. Even if they are tested positive, it will be hidden.

Wonderful

It is the 15-member team, I thought I can see women on the team? Media must learn to push gender sensitive language. Let's give credit to women in the line of duty too. CDDWestAfrica womenfundng YESWomensNtwrk wipfng womenadvocate AbiodunEssiet peter_ameh HassanIdayat

They want to take over the world by wiping Africans especially Nigerians from the surface of the earth.... Their presence is a big opportunity to set them ablaze.... They're deadly and mean no good... Keep your family away from them.

My final suggestion is for the Nigerians to set ablaze all the materials they came with and set them ablaze. They're 15 persons set all of them ablaze when that is done.... The word corona virus will stop existing....

What are they going to use to test them, do we have any testing equipment in Nigeria, abeg they should save theirs lies.

Test all the items I've mentioned cos they're deadly and watch how the number of those infected with corona in Nigeria will increase. Chinese are death themselves... Test their perfumes, test their ears... They are here to excute their deadly mission.

When Covid _19 hit the ground running, Nigerian health personnel moved to the war front. Why this?

Test every parts of the body, open their personal belongings and test every item one by one, test under their toungs one by one, test their shoes, test their watches, test their under-wears one by one, test their brush and all the materials they came with...

So 15 Chinese would have to travel all the way to Nigeria with $2M spent just come and tell us how they combat what they created which information could not be sent via email or phone call. This is ridiculous.

smsnruth I dont think this Health Ministers knows his duty.Must the Chinese come to Nigeria? Why cant they share the information via Skype or other Media means.Rubbing,Just waste of resources and avenue to loot

But it’s said they used $2m to bring them down to Nigeria 🇳🇬 out of the Covid-19 Allowance...9ja 😹😹🙇‍♀️

And they couldn't use Skye or media space to do that without arrival, isn't Nigeria broke for minial frivolities already?

It’s China 🇨🇳 virus 🦠 so let them take it

Nigeria government don't believe in our doctors which is why they travel abroad now that they cannot travel, they import doctors. Shame I believe our doctors are on top of the situation, except the government are not telling us the truth about the COVID-19 spread in the country

Chinese doctors not in, just fake news - Lai Mohammed

Chinese government is abusing and descriminating Africans in China with no reason. United Nations aware of that and keep silent. Sometimes I think that United Nations is supporting, terrorism and racism. Chinese are in Africa with Coronavirus, but nobody abused them.

How will people who came to fight the virus be infected already?

Story for the gods, we know their tricks

After the 14 days isolation, they should kindly return to their country. We don't need them.

Yeah, the hunters need to be haunted first!!!!

No eating of raw rat,lizzard, 🐸etc.

After the Isolation just deploy them to aso rock I think they'll have much to do in there. as for the citizens. we dont want them.

To be tested for fourteen days, plus additional days to start work...this translates to FG extending this lockdown.....oluwa ooo

Test them and all the materials they come with, before anyone can use it here in Nigeria, China can't be trusted

They want to use 1 month in Nigeria and they will be isolated for 14 days, how many days will they use to work

Lemme just be watching our government

Some wise thing to do..

If you guys like don't get them tested. Na Una sabi

Ooooo

I'm. Seeing 14man not 15man where is the other 1 man is he the photographer
