2020: The strange things that happened 4 years ago
The year 2020 would probably go down in history as one of the most polarizing moments in the history of the modern world. The death of basketball legend, Kobe Bryant and his daughter left a massive hole the hearts of the members of his family and also lovers of the sports across the globe.
2020 was a strange year, however, it was quintessential in creating a mental and psychological shift in human dealings. It was a phase people know they needed, but, it was a necessity.
In the early part of 2020, Nigeria like other parts of the world went on a compulsory lockdown due to the Coronavirus outbreak. At the time, it was alleged that people died due to the coronavirus; researchers have come out to since argue that virus wasn’t as heinous as it was announced to be.

Three years after the Lekki protest, Nigerians witnessed how the ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC) used brutal methodology to win the 2023 presidential election. Through vicious means, videos of bullying, intimidation and violence, APC denied the people the opportunity to experience new rulership and commencement of a new political system in Nigeria.

The cost of living has become more tedious and unbearable for the common people as the government officials gallivant in their fleet of vehicles as they always do.
It’s onerous watching the government officials cruise away from everything without any sense of responsibility. One day, the people will confront the government officials and them down to their knees.
