16 cases of Coronavirus in Togo and one of the lecturers in village du Benin tested positive. This sent waves of fear to every student leaving in the cité even thou the news could be false but it spread like a wild fire everywhere.
Here we are thinking this virus was not close by but we forgot that the center of Lomé is Université du Lomé. Village du Benin which is located few steps by the left through the school main gate is a language school that is run by the government.
My upper lips was burning from the goat meat suya i was eating, someone on the other hand asking what we were told in the Coronavirus orientation. Of course some of the students didn’t come for the orientation because we thought Lomé as Nigeria; where we can stay with our family with peace of mind. And with the notion that it is far away from us, but things change when we realized that we are in the heart of Togo, we became extremely careful.
Togo closed there boarder, the university school gate and every possible thing they can close. Movement was limited, one is not allowed to go out without “la carte” The WiFi is not connected to our hostels, so if anything was going to take us out, it’s the fact that we have to speak with our loved ones. You may ask what of buying data ? We have tried but our pockets ran dry quickly and we can’t risk going broke in this current situation because it’s just us here with little allowance from our families and Nothing from our government. However the spread of this Coronavirus is what we decided to put on a “weighing balance”
STAY SAFE !
