One of the greatest scientist to ever sojourn this earth, Albert Einstein, stated a very underlying reality we can’t avoid. He said “In the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity”. This cannot be more true at this point of our lives. Few days ago as reported by the Daily mail, most retail shops in the UK, have been placed under compulsory lock-down. The Olympics, a world revered event, has also been postponed. Football activities across the globe, has been suspended. The educational sector was not spared. At least over 300 million students all over the world are currently in isolation at home, most of which in advanced countries, are utilizing alternatives to carry out lectures without a hitch. Stock market’s crashing, and demand for non- essential products are on an all-time low. Firms are shutting down and are seeking for new ways to salvage whatever the virus has already tried to ravage. Governments are coming up with strict laws and social aids to subsidize the amount of inconveniences and trauma their citizens are going through. This, as the proverbial saying would state, is a sign of things to come. 

In Nigeria just recently, the president made a public broadcast, declaring an extension of a two weeks old lock-down for another 14 days. This stands as a huge uncertainty and risk for businesses who have squashed budgets and squeezed minimal resources in other to survive the past 14 days. What would be our fate? how do we survive? are the questions on the lips of everyone. Especially in an third world economy as ours, ravaged with corruption, mismanagement and poor leadership, that barely even possess the technology to alleviate the suffering of it’s citizens in this trying time. With this in mind, businesses are left with hard choices and decisions to make, that’ll possibly redirect the trajectory of their path.
