Many had hoped that President Muhammadu Buhari would call off the lockdown when he addressed the nation about a week ago, but the continued rise in reported cases made the president extend it for another two weeks.

A lot of people have been forced to stay in their houses, but amidst it all, many of them remain resolute that the tough times will eventually pass and a time will come when normalcy will return to the country.
