Testimony Jesutofunmi Entry 5

HOME IS NOW A PICTURE OF CHAOS

A bird without nest flies without perching 
When home is now in shambles 
Like a flower in a war zone gasping 
For survival - hot it bubbles! 

Vultures finds pleasure in our home
Hooting silent swirls - song of ashes; 
A disharmony of notes. Home is not home
As gun powder razed it down to ashes. 

Bullets invades our home 
Shattering our ancestral mirror; a reflection of hope. 
Shall we not then find solace in Rome
When gun powder pushes us down the rope.

I am but careless and reckless. Imperfect, vulnerable and unwanted. Hard hours haunted, in nightmares hunted. Bold bruise,  Sweet scared, fiercely fearless and flawed flawless

COVID 19 and THE POST COVID ERA- A Nigerian Perspective

-
By now i want to assume that the Doubting Thomas in some people who are still of the opinion that covid 19  is not real has now been erased by the daily rise in the statistics of confirmed cases all over the world. On the 30th day of January 2020, the World Health Organisation declared Corona Virus Disease as a Pandemic as well as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

As pessimistic as this might sound, 2020 started like "THE" year for most people especially Nigerians due to the socio-cultural and religious affliations 2020 possess as a special Palindromic number. A year of multiple weddings, increased babies, more academic acheivements amongst others not until Corona virus disease( COVID 19 )crept into Nigeria leaving her over 180million people shiver at the sound of it all thanks to Wuhan City China. Corona Virus disease according to World Health Organisat...
