By Gimbiya Galadima  tough times call for tougher measures: in this case,
the pandemic has decided that social distancing is compulsory so, friends, neighbours, colleagues, and enemies: remember to practice social distancing when you see me in Benin, and my Instagram posts read Dubai, practice social distancing when you see me at a restaurant devouring a plate of fresh nkwobi, please avoid me if your eyes catch me counting cash aggressively at an ATM, remember that it is a pandemic when you suddenly remember that you need assistance beyond prayers and hugs, practice social distancing I apologise for the distance that is between us, but I am not sorry it’s a pandemic - my ultimate excuse not to be stressed. So, do not stress me.

This made my ribs crack. Social distancing talks not only thr present precaution the world is left to take as a result of the effect of Covid 19 but it also potrays the silent but humorous cry of the typical African where one is burdened with much pressures that come from family and friends around.Nice one Gimbiya Galadima.

So interesting. The write-up is full of humour. Guess you should thank the pandemic for helping you get the stress-free life you so much wanted.

A proof that you're a medical doctor in training. Thank you for reminding us to practice social distancing through poem.
