Anger as Ogun State Government Extend Weekend Lockdown

Ogun residents are not happy that the state government has continued to lockdown the state totally on Saturdays and Sundays. 

The weekend lockdown started more than a month ago when Gov Dapo Abiodun relaxed the COVID-19 lockdown in the state. 

He said total lockdown should be restricted to Saturdays and Sundays only. 

Abiodun's position was that relaxing the lockdown totally would give people the believe that the war against COVID-19 had been won.

Since last week, Abiodun was expected to address the press on the further ease of lockdown, but he did not.

On Saturday morning, the state Government posted on its facebook page that, “WEEKEND LOCKDOWN IS STILL ON IN OGUN STATE!"

Also, the Senior Special Assistant to Gov Abiodun on New Media, Emmanuel Ojo, said, “WEEKEND LOCKDOWN IS STILL ON IN OGUN STATE! The status quo subsists."

This has since generated angry reactions from Ogun residents who querried the rationale behind locking down the state during weekends when people are allowed to go out from Monday to Friday.

They asked to know if Coronavirus only comes out from hiding on weekends only. 

See their comments:

Oluwadamilare Olubakin Fagbohun: You better stop all this. For how long are we going to do this? Even Lagos that has highest cases are not on this nonsense again.

Ajayi Jones: You're only fuelling the pockets of criminal cops who mount road blocks on our roads.

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...
