Is China taking over the world?

I know when you see this picture of a plastic bag, in my blog, the question on your mind is, "what's up with the plastic bag?
Notice two significant things about the bag. One, it has patients belongings written on it, which means it is from a hospital. Two, it has made in China on it.
The story about this plastic bag is that I got it from a hospital in Dallas, Texas, United States of America not in China. Since then almost every hospital I had reason to visit I have purposely asked for a bag and I get the same bag, made in China and imported into United States of America. I am perplexed. Why would the U.S.import plastic bags from China? Plastic bags..... That's absurd. Has it come to this level? The U.S.now outsource production of plastic bags to China. Does it mean that cheap plastic bags cannot be produced in this country? It's amazing how every country in the world is losing everything to China. But the U.S., that's unexplainable. A plastic bag.
I am still shaking my head in disbelief.

Cleveland to pay Tamir Rice family $6m

A settlement has been agreed between the city of Cleveland and Tamir Rice family.
Tamir Rice was a 12 year old kid playing with a pellet gun in Cudell recreation center in west boulevard in November 2014, when two police officers, Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback responded to a call of somebody with a  gun. Officer Timothy shot the kid. Tamir Rice died on the 23rd November, the day after the shooting. The shooting caused a lot of uproar in the U.S. and around the world about police brutality.
Tamir Rice estate will receive $5.5m and the boys mother Samaria and sister Tajai will each receive $250,000 each. $3m will be paid in 2016 and the remaining in 2017. But the payment needs a final approval from the Cuyahoga county probate judge.

Is Nigeria winning the war against Boko Haram?

Recently the Nigerian military announced they have gained a lot of grounds against the dreaded terrorist group, boko haram. All the local government areas formerly under the control of the terrorist group have been recovered by the military. People are going back to their homes, even though in fear. There are still a pocket of resistance from the group, but they have resorted more to their old ways of suicide bombers. Recently an audio message by their once combative leader Alhaji Shekau came out urging the groups fighters to give up and that he was ready to negotiate. But the military dismissed the audio as a deceptive move to enable the group regroup, which I completely agree with. The military is presently clearing the Sambisa forest and capturing a lot of the groups leaders, even the deputy to the groups hierarchy. The food and military supply has been considerably cut off. This has made the group come out often to steal from villages. The military is really winning.
The military should be commended for this success, but one issue remains. An issue that actually caused an uproar around the world and brought countries together in the fight against the group. "The Chibok girls"
Where are they? What did the group do with them? Recently, a video showing 15 of them was leaked. That revealed to the world that there is a negotiation going on between the group and government. If the military can find those girls, that is when Nigerians will truly believe the war is won.
