The raging Coronavirus across the globe had forced many nations to adopt different mea¬sures in tackling the deadly pandemic.

From social distancing to lock¬down, many nations have been able to put to check the fero¬cious spread of the virus code¬named COVID-19.

President Muhammadu Bu¬hari based on the advice of the National Centre for Disease Control(NCDC) and other rel¬evant agencies declared total lockdown in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Lagos and Ogun states.

Residents of all the affected states and FCT were mandat¬ed to stay behind the doors all through the periods specified by the President.

Few days after the declara¬tion, which was applauded in some sections of the country, started taking tolls on the life of the people.

Though the nation lacks stan¬dard data on the financial sta¬tus of the citizenry, particular¬ly the per capita income of the citizenry, it became obvious that only infinitesimal percent¬age of the citizenry are on paid jobs.

The situation became tensed after the people had spent close to one week in compliance with the stay-at-home order having exhausted all the food items in the homes.
