Oby Ezekwesili had stated that Africa must be "accorded damages and liability compensation from China, the rich and powerful country that failed to transparently and effectively manage this global catastrophe". The press secretary of the Chinese embassy in Nigeria, Sun Saixiong who reacted to Oby Ezekwesili's demand stated that it makes no sense at all. Siaxiong who wondered why no one demanded for compensations for the 2009 H1N1 flu which killed nearly 200,000 people after being first diagnosed in the US, stated that Coronavirus is a common enemy to all mankind and may strike anytime, anywhere. He also said that AIDS was first reported in the US in the 1980s and then swept across the world, including Africa, causing untold sufferings to countless victims.
