Burna Boy (y’all know him!) posted on his YouTube handle “Everyone please use this COVID-19 times to really find out what your true purpose in this world is, train your mind and body to the fullest… Let conscience and confidence lead you all” With that said what could we take away from his words and this period? We all know the lockdown has made life excessively boring, we are undergoing routines we did not see ourselves doing like jogging as the first thing we do after breakfast since we don’t have pretty much to do but hey we got you, here a couple of things that could be of interest if you felt idle.
