A lot of us approached this period with plenty of plans and expectations. But life happens, and sometimes not exactly in the way that we want. There’s still a lot of joy though. This post is a compilation of all the hits and misses we get in life and all the ways we’re deriving joy out of it.
1. Ram.
Yup, yup. Some of us that did not fast counted down the days till we can eat free meat. But our Muslims brethren have told us that this is not the one for meat. *Deep exhausted sigh*
2. Yidi prayers.
Reality: We are all praying in our individual homes, no thanks to the pandemic. But the joy is in the fact that we get to spend more time with family.
3. Actually slaying our outfits.
Reality: Wearing it to pose for pictures and removing it afterwards. What else can one do?
4. That Corona would be gone.
Reality: New cases. But Nigerians aren’t even taking it serious. Our moving on game is quite strong. Before, everyone would wait eagerly for the ‘live scores’ and a new post would hit almost 7k likes in minutes. Now, everyone is just begging for followers. God safe us.
5. Public holiday.
Reality: We got it! Monday and Tuesday about to be lit, and we have our Muslim brethren to thank. We can pardon you for not giving us meat today. 😄
Happy Eid al-Fitr, people!
