Hello everyone, trust you have been doing well, welcome to another exciting contest edition.
If the world were to go into another sudden lockdown, keeping everyone indoors and not coming out. How long do you think you can survive as it is, before you would have to come outside again to either work or get food?
In the world today, no one can predict what can happen in the next seconds, minutes, hours or day, it's only the Divine who is all knowing that can say and not we Human being.
Lock down can be caused by numerous negative things, like outburst of diseases just like the COVID-19 which the whole world experienced in the year 2020, insecurities which is taking place in some regions, natural disasters, plagues, even human disasters i.e citizens raising against their leaders to fight against corruption etc. So various things can lead to impromptu lock down.

Presently in my country (Nigeria) anything can happen at any time, in some state the rate of insecurity is very high. Some local government area were forced to stay indoor because of some killings that happened recently, curfew was placed to curb the ugly situation. So no one knows when it will end.
I can say people really suffered during the last lockdown because they didn't prepare for it all. Majority of people thought the situation will be just for few days or at most weeks not knowing it will be for several months while some part of the world experience total lockdown for complete a year. But the fact remains that some people benefited so much from the lock down. My family and I had it good and rough, the good side is because we do buy food in bulk but when we exhausted all, it became very difficult to purchase what we needed because of the time range given for partial movement during the last lock down and also we can't do things we love to our satisfaction at all, everything was just stagnant.
😱😱If the world were to go for another impromptu lock down again, keeping everyone indoors and not coming out hmmmm I think I will still be able to survive just like the last time for months, with availability of foodstuffs and necessary basic needs I will be able to cope, but not for long. Because when my basic needs finishes I don't have choice than to call for help and there will be no one to render help unto me. So I will be forced to go out in other to carter for my needs.
Staying indoor and not coming out for long isn't pleasant at all, it's boring and not good for ones mental health. You won't be able to have physical interaction with friends or neighbors, you won't be able to move around as you like, eat and do things to your satisfaction, it's like been caged or imprisoned.
I pray we don't experience something like that again. I say no to impromptu lock down, may we never have reasons to be forced to stay indoor against our wish again 🙏
