Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers
(NURTW) in Lagos, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known MC Oluomo, has bared his
mind on the lockdown in parts of the country caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
In a post on Instagram on Wednesday, the union leader said the disease known as COVID-19 has taught that life is vain.
“At this period of trials our cars are just parked there, no
where to go to. The private jets are lying in waste, air spaces are all shut,
every country nursing its citizens and fighting an unseen tiny enemy,” he
wrote.
“Each man is confined to a room in those big mansions and
the designers; clothes, bags, shoes, perfumes and make-up kits have all become
useless and serving no purpose.
“No more urgent appointments and business meetings that
deprive us of time with God and family.
“No parties to attend and hangouts to meet up with friends,
no more convoys and sirens, even the money stocked away in the accounts and
soak always are useless… Even our expansive and expensive mosque and church
auditoriums are empty, it is now each man with his God in truth and in spirit.”
The NURTW boss added that at this moment, all that concerns everyone is food and air to breathe to stay alive.
“This world has never been vanity as it is today!” he wrote.
