The Governor Of Ogun State Is Considering Extending The Lockdown In Ogun State

The Governor of Ogun State Dapo Abiodun is considering extending the lockdown in Ogun State.

The extension is being considered as a result of low compliance with the rules of engagements in the face of rising numbers of Covid-19 cases.
Parts of the rules of engagements are physical distancing, use of Face Masks and Hand Sanitizers in public places, and prevention of persons from neighboring states – except essential duties personnel.

Lockdown – restrictions on movements – is meant to contain the spread of Covid-19 and enable the government to identify and treat infected persons.
The idea was introduced by the Federal Government but was relaxed after four weeks with the administration of Governor Abiodun opting to extend the one in Ogun State by a week over ‘’issue of compliance in the face of rising numbers of infection’’.
The checks made by societynow.ng, however, revealed that as the end of the extension nears an end, the Governor and his team are considering yet another extension of the lockdown.
The lockdown in Ogun State allows for free movements till 5 p.m on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with a law that has turned not using face masks in public places a criminal offense.
The major downside of the looming extension is that workers in Lagos State who reside in Ogun State are denied another week at work.
‘’But the major upside is that the Government remains on top of the situation in the bid to protect lives and properties based on statistics made available’’ a source pointed out.
Societynow.ng’s checks revealed that Governor Abiodun is currently engaged in an opinion poll of a sort to prepare residents for a possible extension of the lockdown which ends on Saturday, May 16, 2020.
The poll kicked of today – Thursday, May 24, 2020 while the Governor is expected to make his whether there will be an extension or not tomorrow.

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale Failure has a way of shaking the very foundation of our confidence. One moment, you believe in yourself; the next, doubt creeps in, whispering that you are not good enough, not smart enough, or not destined to succeed. But here is the truth many people never tell you: failure does not destroy confidence—how you interpret failure does. If you have failed recently, this is not the end of your story. It is the beginning of a wiser, stronger chapter. Understand That Failure Is Not Your Identity One of the most dangerous mistakes people make after failing is allowing the failure to define who they are. You didn’t fail because you are a failure. You failed because you tried. Every successful person you admire today has failed in one way or another. The difference is that they refused to turn a moment into a permanent label. Separate what happened from who you are. Your worth is not measured by one outcome. Al...

Growth Is Painful, But Stagnation Is Worse by Kneelyo Akinbowale

Growth is not a comfortable journey. It stretches you, challenges your beliefs, exposes your weaknesses, and forces you to confront versions of yourself you would rather ignore. Many people avoid growth not because they don’t desire progress, but because they fear the pain that often comes with it. But here is the truth many don’t like to face: while growth is painful, stagnation is far more dangerous. The Pain That Comes With Growth Growth demands change, and change rarely feels good at first. It may require you to leave familiar environments, let go of relationships that no longer serve your purpose, or unlearn habits that once kept you comfortable but now keep you stuck. Pain in growth shows up as: • Fear of the unknown • Temporary failure and embarrassment • Discipline over comfort • Sacrificing immediate pleasure for long- term fulfillment. This pain, however, has a purpose. It is the pain of becoming—of building strength, wisdom, and character. Just like muscles grow...

Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset: The Battle That Shapes Your Future by Kneelyo Akinbowale.

In life, success is not controlled by talent alone, background, or even opportunity. More often than not, it is controlled by how we think. The mindset you adopt determines how you respond to challenges, failure, criticism, and growth. Two dominant mindsets shape human behavior: the Fixed Mindset and the Growth Mindset. Understanding the difference between these two can change the direction of your life. What Is a Fixed Mindset? A fixed mindset is the belief that intelligence, talent, and abilities are permanent traits. People with this mindset believe they are either “good at something” or “not good at it,” and nothing can change that. Characteristics of a Fixed Mindset: • Fear of failure • Avoiding challenges • Giving up easily • Feeling threatened by other people’s success • Taking criticism personally • Believing talent alone leads to success Someone with a fixed mindset might say: •“This is just who I am.” •“I’m not smart enough for that.” •“I’ve tried befor...
