Year of the virus

Some very apt definitions of the year 2020 i saw on my favourite social media Twitter.

"If 2020 was a Nigerian Igbo or Yoruba man it'll be known as Mr. Ë.K Gwuru and Mr. O.T Sumi respectively."

Yes. That's how bad this year has been.

Can't recall a year that has not only started off on a sour/sad note but has gone on to take a real roller-coaster bitch of a dive!

And we're just in June month!!!!

Major personal ish for me is undoubtedly Pop's passing but worldwide, we've all fallen under the "Rona Spell".

When we're hopefully telling our grandkids of this year, we'll all refer to it as the Year of the virus

Mehn...it's been crazy. This Corona Virus of a thing has totally changed the way we know life to be worldwide.
As at time of this post, the whole world is just gradually emerging from months of mandatory lockdown......isolation/quarantine, no movement, no travel, no gatherings, mandatory mask wearing, hand sanitizers, social distancing...the works!.

Don't want to even start with how the Chinese Govt fucked up big time on this shit but suffice to say...it's effects have really been crazy everywhere.

First, and most important for me, at the time of this post,we still haven't buried my Dad. My Beloved Father has been lying in a mortuary for about 4 months now just because there is a ban on all gatherings and inter state travel!!

Also very important, people have died!!. Like it's maaad. So many folks have succumbed to this fucking Wuhan Virus and honestly last count at time of this post, death toll worldwide was about 400,000 plus. Insane. This is just for those who were actually tested and confirmed o..

We've been at home for months now...fortunately for a few of us, business could continue on a Work from Home basis.. thats how i've been stuck at home since March 26th and have only started coming back to the office recently even though salary has been slashed by 50%. Lots of folks have lost their jobs completely so i still consider myself fortunate in that regard.

The economy has tanked. Coupled with horrible governance, Naija wey no even stand well before is virtually in shambles...same with other world economies...

There have been protests all over the world about about racist treatment of blacks, We've had several women raped and killed in Nigeria... Fires and natural disasters in Australia and other places.... the list just goes on and on and on...

To add to the personal list of woes, i've had several people who i knew and loved all pass away this fucking year as well. (Thankfully, not from this fucking Wuhan shit)

• Uncle Goddy Ugorji
• Uncle Tony Agu
• Mr Dan Eromosele
• Nda Kabaka
• Aunty Mercy

Mehn...i'm tired. Real E K Gwuru.

AND IT'S STILL ONLY JUNE!!!!!
