Dozieaku Chiekezi, fondly known as Mazi Dutch. An orator, a renowned fashion
designer, a comedian and a musician
whose focus is primarily on the promotion and revival of the Igbo language and
African cultural awareness shares his Covid-19 lock-down experience with adanneamos.blogspot.com
“At
first, I was making fun of the whole thing, thinking perhaps it’s one of the
very many stunts of our government. Not Until reality struck me that even with social
media and online fans I’m still lonely because no one visited, I reside
in the part of Lagos where residents hardly associate/communicate as per
on a normal circumstance. So, imagine what it is like now that we are asked not
to. It is scary in the news where you constantly read or hear of the ever
rising and unimaginable figures of people who have lost their lives to
this deadly virus. The
world economy at large is crumbling, poverty and hunger are on the rise. Individuals
are loosing their jobs and means of
livelihood. Firms are winding up for
lack of human resources and finance. This virus is negatively affecting our
existence in general and there’s doubt of everything returning to normal any
sooner. Our only comfort is hope. In all we must learn the lesson nature is
teaching us that we are humans first before considering religious, political
and economical factors or differences. And that nothing should be placed above
LOVE AND UNITY. Nature has proven to us that it will survive without humans.
But
I have no doubts that together we shall win and live to embrace each other
soon. It is unfortunate that we are faced with such challenge at this time in
our country and the world at large but it is more important we paid attention
to the lessons that we have been taught.
WE ALL ARE BETTER WITH ONE ANOTHER. So,Please
stay safe.”

far he has gotten unimaginable fans and followers in a short while.
