Wow! Amazing right?
If you're visiting for the first time, welcome! I get excited. If you've been here before, you got lost and found yourself here, you were stalking Treasure Abaa and landed here. Well, I don't know what to say, welcome!
It's funny really, I googled my name and this blog came up. I just had to download the blogger app to continue this rollercoaster experience. It's like an online journal, very cringe worthy but it reminds me of my journey. So, I'm taking a minute out of my very busy life (anyone believe that?) to make this post. Writing never bothered me anyway.
Warning: Info dump
When I started tho blog, I was dealing with anxiety. I didn't know anyone my age around me who had that, the little I knew about it was from my mum's psychology textbooks and the inanet (Cardi is a sensation these days). I'm all good now (big fat lie) and yunno, all grown and mature and omll I'm even allowed to have a boyfriend now! So much growth, am I right?
Carry on...
Anyways, It's 2021 but I'm going to be tell in you about my 2020 because it was quite the year. For the world.
Notice I got better at writing?
The year shaa starts normal. I defend my project and my seminar in February, 2020. In March, we hear that ASUU wants to go on strike, there's this thing about a Corona Virus but that's by the way.
Until it wasn't. Dudeeee I thought the world was going to end. (I'm sure you thought so too, but I'm having so much fun writing as if I'm talking to someone reading this ten generations later) The Covid-19 rocked the whole world. At first, the masses in Nigeria did not believe it was real, then they insisted it was a "white man disease", then they thought the covid had a vendatta with the corrupt leaders and it'd kill them off one by one until Nigeria is corruption free.
Feel free to laugh plis dears
Turns out Covid-19 was very much real and it was steady taking millions of lives everywhere. The government imposed a lockdown, isolation centers, you know the drill. Then, there were the families that battled corona virus with annointing oil and dogoyaro root/herb.
Admist this frenzy, Nigerian government decided to flex their muscle as usual. #EndSars and #EndPoliceBrutality started to trend and there was the #LekkiMassacre and not so popular but terribly frightening #OyigboMassacre. Google the others, but this Oyigbo massacre really scared the living daylights out of me because guess where my parents and I live?
We survived the fear, the deaths, and the anxiety, but all of us need therapy omoooo.
There's still Covid and Police brutality hasn't ended but at least we aren't putting on gas masks, carrying cutlass to fight the undead. Donald Trump did not nuke the world. Guys, we are survivors! Designated or not.
Okay my story telling imaginations be wilding.
I, like the rest of the world suffered from anxiety, experienced loss, depression, and healing. We did not give up and we will not give up!
Hoping for a nicer 2021, universe plis dear it have do. Help us biko nu.
Bye!
