Covid-19: Between life and bread
I have known Kelvin for over three decades. A tall, sturdy and gangling personality, he is brave and daring. We attended same higher institution and I can readily attest to his audacious instinct. Indeed, in view of his seeming invincible aura, I often refer to him as ‘a man of steel’.
Holding the leftover of some bangers he had used to herald the coming of the New Year the previous month, he valiantly went in the direction of the hoodlums, intermittently releasing scores of fireworks into the air. This was followed by heavy deafening sounds. I have taken to this lengthy route to actually underscore the intrepid nature of Kelvin and to sufficiently ascertain his fearless disposition.
With the tone of someone that has resigned himself to an unavoidable fate, he said: “I am afraid for my country. I really hope we aren’t playing with fire”. Indeed, just as efforts were being made to frontally address the palliative matter, a major security challenge also came up. Second, extra security measures to ensure safety of lives and properties across the country, especially in the light of growing security concerns.
As at Thursday, April 30, total COVID-19 confirmed cases in the country were 1932 with 58 fatalities. Lagos remains the epicentre while Kano’s figure surges ahead.
