Everyday Corona stories





Patrice ! Ade is sick o ! He’s having cough. Are you serious! replied another voice. Ade ! don’t touch me ! I said don’t touch me pls ! The sound mixed with fear and anger could not let me concentrate on writing the essay I needed for my summer internship.
     On the morning of that same day, the 20th of March 2020, we were mandated to attend  the orientation of Coronavirus organized by village du Benin Togo. And also one must wash his hands with the provided soap and water in the school compound  before you can be allowed in class. The orientation was held in the hall with not more than 100 students per barge. The first barge ended with the installation of fear and extra carefulness in us and we washed our hands according to what we were taught in the hall by the school nurse before we left the school environment.
      I was still on the summer internship application when news was brought to us that school has shutdown till further notice and our exams will not commence as planned, the Nigeria boarder has been closed ; A very good friend of mine that just lost her uncle had to stay back and some students who planned on travelling to Nigeria had to stay back also. It did not just affect Nigerian students. Ghanaian students were also not permitted to come into the country by their government. Churches and mosques had to close also. Everyone has to stay safe.
     Some say “Coronavirus cannot survive in a hot region” others “it was a created virus” Everyone with a different point of view but the most important thing is that we believe that this virus will “come and pass” it’s just a matter of time!

PEDOPHILIES : A MAN BUTCHERED FOR ABUSING A 10 YEARS OLD GIRL ; Caught in the act                                                  Whenever this little girl comes back from school, this man will call her to a lonely place close to her house to abuse her. This went on for a very long time without anyone finding out what this little girl has been going through. The man went on with this disgusting act with this little girl without thinking about the future damages he is doing to this little girl.                          On the day he decided to change there regular place to an uncompleted building, he was caught by the girl's father and other neighbours. Also rumor has it that the girl is not his only victim and so I ask; how many girls in this country are facing child abuse, how many of them ar...
                                        EVERYDAY UNN EXPERIENCE                     Waking up with noise is now a culture in my hostel. It's either from the preachers or the students struggling for water or the prayers from the mosque ,  all these has become part of being a being a UNN student. scarcity of water, lack  of provision of light, lack of healthy classrooms and environment.
