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!

Ambitions

   Almost everyone dreams of something while growing up. We all have ambitions when we are little, which change as we grow up. Ambitions lead us to a definite aim in life. Furthermore, they help us focus on our goal no matter the cost. It drives us to do better in life and aim for the Stars . Ambitions differ from one person to another.    However, one common thing that we usually face is that over time, people switch their ambition to something else than that which they wished to be when they are little. We have many people in the medical field who wanted to be dancers. Similarly, some of the greatest politicians wanted to be artists. So we see how easily one gives up on their dreams to adapt to the society and to meet up to our reality  By Josué ✍🏽

                                        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.
