Hey,

Given everything is cancelled, I wanted to take this opportunity to send you a quick one:

1 Take good care of yourself and your loved ones.
If you live alone WhatsApp is a real lifeline in this time of social-distancing and isolation.

2. Check on your vulnerable neighbours especially the elderly and less-abled ones.

3. Keep abreast of the news but don't go down the rabbit-hole.

4. Pandemic or no Pandemic - wash your hands, wash your chicken, wash your legs... and everything in-between. #FilthyMcNasty

5. Don't let the isolation-productivity-nazis pressure you o. Resting, being still and doing not much else is VERY productive and rejuvenating I'll have you know.

6. Talk to God and get to know Him. This is my favourite bible, this is my favourite bible app, this is my favourite faith & entertainment website.

7. Appreciate our front-liners - NHS key workers, cashiers, carers, prison staff etc - in most cases the remuneration isn't what it should be, the hours are unsociable and the conditions are poor, yet here we are - dependent on them, as always.

8. And to my Naija fam - it's vital you put pressure on the govt. to close the borders and enforce a "true" travel ban from all corona-infected nations. Currently Nigeria is still accepting foreigners from countries with under 1,000 reported cases of the virus... I know... make it make sense 🤷🏾‍♀️

9. If you're blessed to have a Mother or Mother-figure in your life, then remember to call her this Sunday.

10. Send a prayer up for everyone affected by the virus and for this nightmare to be over with.
