It's Pouring Here

Nigeria has entered Total Shutdown.

One company after the other is explaining to customers and clients why they have to endure one form of rationing or another, urging them to take precautions. Fuel prices have not only gone through the roof, the commodity isn't even available for those who are willing to spend an awful lot for just a little. There's the threat from Labour to down tools. And today, at least one bank has explained it'll be closing at 1pm until things improve.

Then, there's an outgoing class prefect who can't be bothered and an incoming elder who can't be blamed just yet. So, who do we hold now? The condition of utter helplessness, an inability to cause a change in one's own fortunes just enervates one's desire to maintain a positive outlook. For how long? In the face of all these?

*sigh*

As the shutdown extends across the entire country, one thing rings true. When things go burst, it doesn't rain here. It pours.
