Gainers And Losers: The Covid-19 Saga In Nigeria

As much as some organisations and sectors are losing money during this period of covid-19 some others are actually making tons of money. Whether there's a positive or negative outcome, someone somewhere is profiting and this somehow creates a sort of balance. Money isn't always made comfortably and sometimes it can be off a person's pain or off their weaknesses and sometimes it's not. Money is not the culprit but the circumstances through which it's made is sometimes what drives greed. Sometimes when there's money to be made off an unpalatable circumstances that's detriment to people some people often go overboard due to greed and this actually shake the balance and that do you know? Money is made and the circumstances might affect someone else well being.
Face masks and hand sanitizer manufacturers in Nigeria made billions off an unplanned covid-19 that came in 2020, cinema owners, movie premieres and club business suffered huge dent and may even financially implode, many people will suffer unemployment and many others will be gainfully employed but then the question is do we know to what extent covid-19 might affect private business owners who has stored their wealth in raw materials and finished goods for consumption but generally cannot sell them because the massive lockdown came and most of their products are now bad., Their machines stopped working and people will now focus their money buying what they need and not what they crave. This majorly affects the food manufacturing industries in Nigeria.
Basically the state and federal owned colleges are now forcing the federal government to put down conditions necessary for the reopening of schools because they're not longer making money off their millions of students and hence cannot continue paying grants and allowances to the professors and lecturers staying at home receiving full salaries from the government and also the institutions themselves. So while the calendar of these colleges are now destroyed they will of course need to salvaged whatever is left because no education institution In Nigeria is equipped to successfully handle online education and exams while the lockdown is on due to the lack of facilities.
So majorly set-ups like jumia and konga some major online shopping platform has thrived because people are now forced to buy things without actually moving. Currently the country is divided, while the federal government in itself has raked in billions of naira from being in lockdown, some of her sectors like education are currently suffering and this has become a sort of corruptions minds games going on. Truth is the Corona situation in Nigeria can be handled confidently this means that schools and colleges can open and the right measures to contain any form of spread can be taken but then someone millions of naira will have to be spent to ensure this but this is where the government is currently having shaky feet. First the government has benefit from covid-19 in Nigeria and secondly it would be a no-brainer to them to open up all institutions when they can still keep making a lot of money.
The naira (₦) will devalue like never before soonest and inflation will skyrocket but then the few people holding on to the nation's wealth will never feel know this. Greed is actually what drives this. I will categorically keep saying that money isn't fairly distributed and it lies in the hand of a few and those who holds the money determines what bill, what patent or what decision is made in the country. So as much as this is a trying time for most businesses, majorly private. This actually isn't for the federal government who hardly careless if money fairly flows. I'll keep saying representative democracy serves the purpose of the people who are there and the people who ensures they're there and for s country like Nigeria, the effect of Corona virus will affect people differently and as for many people it'll be majorly negative.
