Days In Quarantine - Sunday Wura Best
INTRODUCTION
It has always been common among great men and women to pick prospects from the hardest situations in their lives. History is clouded with great minds who saw a challenging situation as a chance, not just to excel but to affect their world positively and worked in accordance with it.
Coronavirus has, in every sphere, proven to be the most challenging event to have hit the world in the past half century. It has axed the economic arms of great nations, brought the operations of great businesses to a halt, built bridges between student and schools and rendered the poor more depressed. Hunger level is increasing on daily basis; those choked by hunger are endless. Professional medicals are struck by confusion and even to the religs it seems like the structural base of divination is weakened at the bottom. The list is endless.
However, while the edged fangs of this pandemic go about thrusting through the axis of world economies, creating more tombstones in the graveyard and setting a fog at the visionary site of many, some have taken it rather as a dare to step on to their peaks.
We see many creative videos popping out every day, many educative firms have sprouted to help curtail the spread of the virus and privately produced facemasks have packed the markets. These, to name a few, are the list of those who have thumped on a global challenge to both affect people’s lives and to survive.
Just as the endless list of innovative outputs in every corners of the world today, Days in Quarantine stands as a token of sacrifice both to educate and affect people’s lives, globally. Filed with verses of my personal experiences during this pandemic, it is aimed at daubing the state of the average Nigeria and African generally, in a time like this.
Therefore, this book is not just a collection of poems written during the Coronavirus pandemic but also the proof of a challenge stepped on to affect people’s lives.
Amidst trials, adversity and patience, I present Days In Quarantine to anyone who has longed to comprehend the profiles of this pandemic, from a young African poet’s view.

"The poor are more likely to be compliant as they can be easily intimidated by the coercive instruments of state. They only become defiant when driven to the wall by hunger. Not so the elite who live to subvert the system."
