It seems Nigeria is the new mercury, like wtf is this, definitely many things is really going wrong. We the citizens have been receiving negative signal during the past 1 and half month and we start wondering if this is type of year we actually pray for, we thought 2024 will actually be a better one but it seems it is the other way round. If we are to take the economy crises away, I'm somehow forced to ask if the sun is actually angry at us.

The heat wave is really alarmy and really worse this time, I am now forced to finish one bag of pure water in 2days because I now that up to 10 sachets of water daily if not more. A friend of mine complained to me how she had to shower 4 times so she could sleep properly, I wasn't surprised because I find it really hard to sleep nowadays too, who sleep when there is heat? even the body system won't allow you to. The worst part is the electricity power authority company who just decide not to give us constant light especially at night when we need it most, even if the country is planning to remove subsidy on electricity, they shouldn't be this wicked not to bring light during this kind of situation.

I once saw the video of a mother crying because of her little boy, the boy was actually sweating profusely while sleeping at night, I was shocked because there is no different between the boy and someone doing hard labour job, and medically it is really dangerous because it can affect the body system, the popular aproko doctor had to do some enlightenment video educating people on how to cope with the heat, showering and taking lot of water and also getting ice if they can but now there is no electricity for that.

Things to do during this Heat period.

• Take cold water if you can: It is really advisable to take lot of cold water which help you cool your body system and avoid hot drinks or water, during this period, the rate of dehydration will be much and water is the only solution

• Wear lighter cloth: this period isn't the best time to start wearing thick cloth, you need to free your body and allow the heat to pass freely

Also try and get a usb based fans to help you incase there is no electricity, you can easily power them up and place it around your head area at night so you will be able to sleep. We hope this situation will pass soon
