“I cried myself to sleep yesterday… I had been in a delicate place emotionally in recent times. You know, some life things. But it is just in passing… Life goes on. Will I get here and now give up? No o. I keep on! Then, the issue of coronavirus came. Very depressing. Then, lockdown! As I was trying to maintain my sanity, it would get at me that I couldn’t reach out to people I would normally give to even before lockdown. Before now, it was not easy for them, what of now!! I can’t even reach out to those who work with me and for me! Just some little something. It increased my worries… But, I’ve always been a fighter. I always keep on…“ “Then I put up a post, because I know how hard this situation can be, to encourage myself and others and give hope. I don’t know where this set of people came from, thronging into the comment section and spewing all sorts of demeaning words about how I cannot help them and others. Because, I am rich and “influential”… All sorts of hateful words… Ṣ’émi ni government ni? I did the needful in deleting and blocking. But it got at me. I was in a delicate state already. I went jogging. But it didn’t leave. My family people were wondering but I told them I was fine. It got at me. Because it already got at me that I can’t even help those in my care who deserve it originally at this time! And I hate when I can’t help because I know what it is to be helpless! And the messages I get break my heart. But even me… Sometimes one is broke. It happens. How much more at this time of lockdown when people can’t gather! And when people can’t gather, what work can I do? Noone prepared for it. Don’t we all live in this environment?“ I know this our space is dense with hatred. I have walked some tough life journey. I am not ignorant. People are waiting for the right opportunity to pounce on whoever is their target. But deliberately, I BE in love all the time although conscious, protecting myself. But, this depressing time?! I couldn’t help it. I just sank… NO, I’M NOT BEGGING FOR MONEY! I’M ADEQUATELY TAKEN CARE OF!
