Another side to the #Covid-19 pandemic



First published 17th March 2020. Think about it. Another side to the COVID19:
The beginning of wisdom is to know that you don't know. The new virus leaves us with a picture of gloom and uncertainty around the world. Where not so long ago, we were moving further and further apart, today much more than ever, we can all do with a dose of human kindness.

Where once we were comfortable isolating ourselves from others, today we are forced into isolation and

we miss communal living. We don't have the answers to everything. However amid the chaos is the quiet and silence, asking us to pause and think. This could be a good time to reflect on the quality of our lives. It could also be a signal to allow nature rest a bit and revive itself from the pitter patter of our feet and the disruptive vibes our movements create.

Before you buy that Valentine's gift, read this

Ever had the experience of spending weeks or even months preparing for Valentine’s Day and buying what you felt was the perfect gift, and as the days build up to that romantic and sensual moment, BAM! Something happens and you break up. The gifts are either stuck with you or you hate yourself for gifting them out in the first place to someone you would now call an asshole? The season of love is here again, a time for sharing, exchanging gifts and most definitely spending. Have you ever noticed that a lot of time and money goes into planning to get our loved one(s) and partner(s) the best Valentine’s Day gifts, and that many-a-time, we end up buying the wrong gifts or indulging in irrelevant spending?  Valentine’s Day is expensive and millennials are the biggest spenders, followed by the generation before them. 

#EndSARS, Women, Peace and Security

Nigerian women have not spoken loud enough against the attacks on the #EndSARS protesters (a peaceful protest which is now being criminalized), or about related atrocities currently going on in Nigeria. Clearly, Nigeria has failed our young generation. What hopes do young people have in a country which sees youths as threats rather than opportunities for development? Their opinions don't count when it comes to nation building but when it comes to elections, they become relevant for adding up the numbers and for thuggery.
