ABSTRACT
The Coronavirus Pandemic: A Turning Point in the Lives of Nigerians, 2020
This paper reviews the pre-existing stand of Nigerians during the pre-pandemic period; it evaluates the dynamic effects of the novel Coronavirus pandemic in the lives of Nigerians during the pandemic period and proceeds to discuss the envisaged eventual possibilities of the post-pandemic period. Nigerians must have encountered several disease outbreaks in the past, but none of those experiences has shaped their lives so greatly than the most recent war that was waged against the Coronavirus disease. Although life before the pandemic hit was not rosy for many Nigerians, the sudden presence of the disease was a sharp thorn that pierced through the marrows and dreams of many Nigerians and shredded them apart. In response, the Nigerian government adopted several stringent measures in line with the World Health Organization (WHO) directives, to halt the disease. Positive efforts to contain the disease were sabotaged by the perpetration of corrupt practices within the government and health sector. However, the active role of a faithful few opposed the negative effects of corruption and sought to restore the dignity of mankind. While many were consumed by the upsurge of a sudden situationally-induced predator lifestyle, and mind-challenging conspiracy theories, others were preoccupied with adopting new ways of living, to mitigate the inimical effects of the pandemic. The post-pandemic period is envisaged to be loaded with a new modus operandi that would be embraced in every stratum of the Nigerian society. This would attest to the fact that the Nigerian populace has holistically evolved from the pandemic experience.
