Opinion: COVID-19: Winners and Losers, By Udeme Nana
As the lockdown, self and compulsory isolation or quarantine of people forced by the corona virus disease pandemic eases, it is pertinent to take a look at some winners and losers within the last three months.
If China was a mere challenger for the topmost spot in world politics, in post-COVID-19 world politics, it is assured of a more major role and voice and its president would be bouncing sprightly like our own dear General Ibrahim Babangida in his heydays as Nigeria’s first and only military president.
Prayer warriors are praying for the conquest of Corona virus disease but it is possible that a lot officers and men of the Nigerian Police Force are countering such prayer points because the lockdown and curfew season have turned out to be their best ever moment. If it depended on them, coronavirus should last forever.
Wives and children; indeed family life also won. COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restriction of movement forced couples to stay and spend more time at home with their children. To many couples, it was honeymoon all over again while children got to know more about their parents and vice-versa. Parents no longer hurried out from their homes every morning to return to eat and sleep late at night.
Worship centres and their pastors lost out. They missed, though temporarily, their stages, their offerings and those who prophesied about when the pandemic would end or those who failed to see its coming have lost a measure of their ecclesiastical integrity.
