Will I survive this solitary confinement?

The last COVID-19 lockdown wasn't something one would choose to happen again because it was somehow hell for some kind of people. I remembered we were preparing to write an exam while I was in the 300 level in the second semester. We were all sent home and school was on hold until further notice and the lockdown went on for months.

It was then we were ordered compulsorily to participate in online classes through Telegram. It wasn't interesting to me and I never attended any lectures but was always active in blogging. This was when I was still on the defunct Uptrennd Platform.

When school finally opened, the first week was scheduled for an exam. Do you know how it would feel like as a student who has been used to being at home and didn't read? There was nothing in our brains and to make the matter worse, our first paper course title was “Crisis intervention.” Sighting the questions, it was indeed a crisis. All students were hissing, murmuring and whispering to themselves for answers 😂😂 Is it not someone who knows the answer that will tell you? Lol.

I did what I knew and to God's glory, I passed the course. But it wasn't easy that day in the hall because I couldn't cry.

During the lockdown, many people died due to the deadly disease and most due to hunger because offices and organizations were halted too. The lockdown made people realize how the family is so important to spend time with and also, made people see the need and advantage therein in making money online. There was chaos too when people who couldn't survive the compulsory stay-at-home due to lack of food, start to vandalize and destroy people's properties and took away their stuff. No one prays for such a thing to happen again.

What if it happens but this time around, it's an impromptu lockdown?

When something is impromptu, it means it wasn't announced beforehand. At least this would give people an edge to plan things to survive. Stocking food at home, making sure things are available to make them survive till the lockdown is stopped.

For a person like me, I love being indoors but when it goes longer than what I do not want, things get to bore me, I feel easily irritated and my body won't accept it again. This impromptu lockdown should meet me where I live alone because I wouldn't be able to stand it seeing my family going through such a situation.

I am someone who stocks her room with food even before they finish. I wouldn't mind if the world should go on another lockdown because seeing the food I have at home, it should be able to last me 2 months to survive because of one thing — my gas. I refill my gas and it only lasts me 2 months and I don't have an electric cooker or hot plate to aid me in cooking in case there is light.

I wouldn't have a problem during that period of 2 months once there is constant light because I will be able to work online and make my money till when the lockdown would be lifted.

Since no one yet knows when it will end, I still do not wish it happens because I might cook myself indoors because of too much staying in the house without seeing anyone or even going out to refill my foodstuffs once it is exhausted.

I love food and if after two months of surviving, my food finishes, how do I cope? Food is the boss of a person's life and it determines your next move towards work. If you do not fill this stomach, there is no way you can do other things because, in my tribe, they say hunger cannot come to you and still give room for discussion. It's impossible!

A hungry man is an angry man. You will end up getting angry at the gadgets you are working with and you will be tired of life itself. Of what use is the light without food at home or in the stomach? Think about that 😂

I don't think I would survive after that 2 months because my gas will finish, and there is no way I will go out to refill since what is happening to me is affecting the whole world. This means no going out until when God says it's time to release this people from the torture 😅😅

Thanks for your time on my blog.

Omo! I wrote mine and never thought of my gas finishing...mine lasts me for a month. If the matter gets worst, the federal government should move from house to house to supply these things Biko😂

Hahaha.... one has to consider gas too especially, for those who do not have an electric cooker to cook with.
Yes, govt must do the needful but the question is, how many houses will they get to and cover in this whole world? 🤣

Lol. They have the money can capacity, we need not to worry😂

Your timing ehhh hehe
If it comes impromptu you know staying for the two months isn't guaranteed 😂

!luv

You are right oo. maybe by the time they sanction the lockdown, I might be planing on getting more foodstuff. Lol

Hehehehe
Living a restricted life is troubling

Smile... Gas finishing? Hmmm another drama because you can't go out to fill the gas. I was in my village then sha so wood was the means of cooking.

Greetings dear, I do know how hard we face during the lockdown, as you said it is true that no people on earth would hope this to be happen again since it was somehow suffering for some kind of people. I really hope everything will get better soon, well I think we all know how to deal with it and I trust this problems will disappear in our world one day in some times in the future. Good lucks for you my dear !

Yes, when it happens, everyone will find the best way to handle and deal with it. Thank you, @mich.brmey for stopping by.

I could also survive staying in my house if there's another pandemic as long I have an internet connection and enough food. If there would be an impromptu pandemic, I will literally use my business minded mindset to start new opportunity HHAHAHAHHAH

Interesting but remember when you are earning from your business, you won´t be able to go out to get food because everyone would be locked indoors because this lockdown isn´t for a person but the whole world. Your food will finish and sorry to say, you won´t have the stamina to get ideas 😂😂😂

Hmmmm
My 12kg gas cylinder finishes every 3 weeks....the food I have now will only last for one week...abeg God, let there be no lock down 😂😂

Hhahaha... Na because you have a family oo. If I have that 12kg and refill it all, that will last me up to 7-8 months oo because na only me and I don´t cook like that. Maybe once or twice a day and that is when I am in the mood to cook 😂😂 Life of a single lady.....
Well, thank God it is just an assumption and not what will happen because I don´t want oo 😂😂

My dear...the way I cook at home eeh...it's like those in restaurants 😂😂

Let me even make my own entry

I would not have any problem with the lockdown, because I have a whole lot of time to do a lot of things online... The only problem I will have us the delay it will cause me in my education.. apart from that, I will be fine with it... hehehe

You no go chop? Where do you want to see energy do those online works? Hahahaha....

Though, I don't know how lockdown was over there, but over here, those people selling foodstuffs were allowed to come out because food is important... so if it's going to be the same way , no problem...lol

The last lockdown was indeed one of the worst to hit us, especially students. Throughout the lock down I never opened my book to read, but we were thrown right into the exams immediately it was all over. It was hectic indeed.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

I say No to impromptu lockdown because I don’t ever want to experience staying at home for a long time when my studies will be in pending 😩.

A hungry man is an angry man.

Thats true, we become hAngry!

It’s amazing how they expected us to read while at home. Even when we are in school we don’t read. You should have just cried like you wanted to. That would have been a sight to behold.😂😂

An impromptu lockdown isn’t one I’m praying for at all. If the last lockdown proved anything, it’s that people will lose their means of livelihood.

I carried my books home to read, the only time they left my bag was when I wanted to wash the bag. I just laughed at myself and placed them on the table. My bag got dried and I transferred all back inside it. Lol who reading help for house? 😂

Same with me, I don´t pray for it at all.

At least it’s good to know 90% of students are the same 😂. I didn’t pick any of my books till it was time for exams.
