COVID 19

COVID 19: kano lockdown day six started beautifully well for my neighborhood and I. This is so because, before the cock could sound the alarm that it is morning again, my family and many other in the neighborhood are up already and we've started doing what has overtime become a customary duty for all Christians. OR what we all know to be called "morning devotion".

We kicked off by saying the Rosary of our Lady- the popular prayer of the catholic church. The day was Wednesday by our calendar, so we had to say the Glorious mysteries. At first I was not spiritually present though I was, bodily, because I was still struggling with the debris of sleep that has been destroyed by the sounding slaps from my mother's lefthand.

Further afield,  It took me up to the 3rd mystery before I regained full control of myself and realized that the recitation is done in Igbo. I know i couldn't help it but I joined in the significant parts that I can (the Hall Mary(s), the Our Fathers and the Glory bes). The other parts was not for my siblings and I; it was left for the scholars of Igbo in the house - my mum and dad.

Fast forward to the part of interest, it was as if the rising bell was rang in the neighborhood; because almost at the same time, we started singing songs and clapping hands and praising God for the gift of the beautiful day. Now, the clapping was simultaneous, the voices were simultaneously epic and the wordings were simultaneously rhyming. Then, my physical senses begin to develop such sensational feelings bearing laughter that added purifying weather of light and love to me.

The whole scenario this morning, left me with the fulfilment of the saying "The family that prays together, stays together"

COVID 19

COVID 19 and Kano lockdown: if you've been counting, you will not be wrong if you say today is day seven, since kano began her sit at home order. The order has been relaxed for a couple of hours(to last till midnight) to allow the "kano-nites" restock; get food items and other necessity. To that end, many streets, many market place and many stores are littered with people who are struggling to get food items that will carry them and their family through the next seven days of staying at home.

Concededly, it's a necessary thing that people need to come out to rejuvenate themselves, in the different sectors that needs rejuvenating. It's necessary still, for people who feed hand-to-mouth to come out and scramble for the money with which to feed. It's necessary also, for business men/women whose businesses would suffer for lack of their presence to come out. . .

But with this kind of pandemic that we're faced with and considering its very evil nature of spreading, do you think that it is wise that we should all be out the way we are today in kano? 

I mean take a look at the SABONGARRI market, then, you would understand why I'm lamenting(I couldn't get pictures). 

Our market is filled to overflowing and one cannot comfortably walk in and out of it without smooching or touching the next person. This is a great risk, as it facilitates the spread of this deadly virus that has sworn to snatch out life from God's people!

Which is why noble men/women and even countrymen have been shouting - palliative measures be provided. But no, nothing is done. . .
Anyway, what do I know?

So, what do you think about kano stay at home relaxation day?. . . Let's have your take on it!

COVID 19 PALAVA

Kano is topping in the chart, second after Lagos in the Nigeria COVID 19 cases. "We don pass FCT Abuja for the league". One maybe forced to ask if the lockdown is really working. . . angrily, one of my friends said

 "80 cases in Kano yesterday. 92 cases  today. Lock Kano up and ‘swallow’ the key for 5 weeks. It’s the sensible thing to do now!!"

I remember I said something about developing happiness through the filed events such as; jogging, running and street football. These I have seen very many people do in the pass days. But all the slay mamas, slay papas, slay queens and slay kings and even sugar daddies will not allow those who want to keep fit;  those who know that it's our immune system versus the corona virus, those who genuinely want to keep fit to energize their bodies.

These slay people will wakeup in the morning, get dressed in their sporting kits, as if they're going to keep fit or jogging as the case maybe; but you will see them congregating themselves and violating the social distance rule at the flyover that leads to Lagos road, MM way, Mallam kato, Bata and PZ. . . with their Bluetooth radios, playing music, dancing or what they call tweaking, some will even put up a light makeup moving their physique in an arousing manner that begs the opposite sex around to approach them!

With such kind activities, the opposite sex are forced to come out. So, the number keeps increasing and increasingly calling for attention and now, that attention has been given - just yesterday, the kano taskforce had to move round sabongarri and probably the whole kano, to announce that "no more sporting activities; jogging, street running and street football".

So, I say to all the slay people "una dey happy now abi?" "now way you dey house wake no boy see you toast, you die?" "now we don stop jogging because you too like woman, yeye boy, waka✋" "even u way them dey call sugar daddy, you no go stay for house with ur wife na to dey look for young blood, you go hear wim!" mtwcheew.
