Everyday Coronavirus in Togo



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 !

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 ✍🏽

The darkness within

                  The darkness within The feeling void The dark sound filled with teary love Powerful sadness binded by Insatisfaction of hope Hope in the essence The light eyes of love Which sees through the soul. The humble rhythm created from the inner emptiness that caresses the soul Light me up oh sound so dark For I'm yours and you are lost in me Sometimes darkness is built by the emptiness of the soul

The Twists in the middle of these Corona stories

The good thing about it it that I have gone to market, so I don’t have to worry for sometime about what to eat because the new rule now is that one is not allowed to leave the cité for more than 30 minutes, if so you will be tested before you can come into the cité. That was the voice I was hearing in my dream only to wake up and realize it was not a dream. It was the voice of my roommate telling her parents about the current situation and that was the news we received in the afternoon from The director through Grace after two students from Cape-cost Ghana were taken to the hospital or one can call it a confinement house.      Some still believe that they won’t get it and on the other hand we were coming up with different propaganda against the nurse. What if she has it ? What if she mistakes flu or malaria for Coronavirus ? What if she’s the primary source for us getting it ? This situation has instilled more fear in everyone. The plan now is that no matter anything ...
