The Coronavirus situation is really stressful for everyone. Now that there is a lockdown extension, it looks like we will be at home for much longer. I mean, it’s the right step, but this doesn’t make it any easier. It’s not fun for anyone, but for the following people, it’s a nightmare.

1. The Jehovah Witness

Put yourself in their shoes for a second. How would you feel if you’re always in a race to catch people at home, and now that you’re sure everyone is at home you can’t do your job because you can’t go out either?

2. The Street Preacher

They must be dying over the fact that people are missing out on the word of God they’re always happy to deliver.

3. The Owambe Yoruba Aunt

Somewhere, a Yoruba aunty has resorted to dressing up on Saturdays, cooking an assortment of meals, and pretending to be partying. The turn-up has to happen one way or the other.

4. People who are not with their partners

The times are hard and they feel like they may explode any moment from the lack of any action. On the plus side, they’re sure that their partner is not cheating or doing any clown shit. 

5. People who are stuck with their parents

Even people who have not prayed in a long time are now being forced to do morning devotion every day. It’s all fun until it happens to you. 

6. The Gym Enthusiasts

They’ve not taken mirror selfies, showing off their toned body in weeks. It’s a miracle that they’re still alive.

7. People who are attached to their barbers

They look everywhere and the only person they see is their barber, clipper in one hand and getting rid of the garbage on their head. Now with the lockdown extension, they might just do it themselves.

8. The Football lover

They’ve been watching a lot of old matches, but it’s not doing it for them.  They need some live matches to fill the void that is in their heart.

9. The shitty cook

They are now convinced that hunger will kill them before the Coronavirus does. They can’t get the picture of their favourite restaurant out of their head. It’s hard. It’s really hard.
