And so, the lockdown was eased in Lagos State and people were allowed to resume moving around within the State. Offices and businesses have reopened. Everyone is out again. Most businesses rendered skeletal services.
All the precautionary measures were discarded as people were seen clustered at various bus stops and banks. I was amazed that most people threw caution to the wind and moved around without the least protective gear, a face mask! I was equally amazed at the crowd seen within the premises of various banks not observing "physical distancing" otherwise known as social distance. What a pity!
I was informed that customers without face masks are denied entry into most banks, and as a result some customers without face masks "borrow" face masks from others in order to gain entrance into the bank. Pathetic! How can any sane human being share face mask?
Some people still go about saying that the whole virus saga is a scam. I have also heard people say "coronavirus is a hoax". And these are from the mouth of so called "educated" people! Can you beat that?!
The sooner we all understand that this virus is real and that is causes health challenges which may lead to death, the better for all of us.
I am tired of reading about the increased numbers of confirmed cases. I want to start reading about a decrease in confirmed cases. I want to start reading of increased recoveries. no more covid-19 related deaths. Enough is enough!
These can only be achieved if we all join our hands and fight this common enemy by following the guidelines given by the appropriate authorities.

THE PANDEMIC KNOWN AS COVID-19
The new word on everybody's lips is CORONAVIRUS.
Most sentences today have that phrase inserted somewhere.
Some people give it a different pronunciation while some pronounce it entirely wrong.
It's no longer news that coronavirus, also referred to as COVID-19 is the latest pandemic.
There had been so many news on the coronavirus especially on the social media. Most of which are all fake or rather, unverified. It is sickening.
Exercising the powers conferred on him by the Quarantine Act, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, General Muhammadu Buhari, declared COVID-19 a dangerous infectious disease and therefore restricted movement and ordered a "lockdown" of activities in Lagos State, Ogun State and the Federal Capital Territory. This was for an initial period of fourteen (14) days, with a view to curbing the spread of coronavirus which was on the rise as at 29 March 2020 when the President addressed the Nation.
It has been eight days of "lockdown". . .
My sincere prayer is for the whole crisis to end very soon and we get our lives back. Yes, that is my prayer.
However, when the restriction order is lifted, while the crisis gradually fades out, my major concern is this: how will people commute with public buses, tricycles (keke napep) and okada?
My suggestion is that the buses should be mandated to take 3 passengers per seat instead of 4, while the tricycles should only pick 2 passengers instead of 4. The motor park touts should be stopped from making frivolous monetary demands from the transporters, so the transportation fares will not be hiked.
Shout out to all the medical personnel who are at the fore front and taking care of the sick. May God Almighty bless you all. I also commend all who have volunteered to join the medical personnel in this fight against coronavirus. You are ALL truly appreciated. God bless you.
P.S: I have decided to make this page active again. Lord help me. 🙏🙏
