This Sudan returnee still hears bomb blasts everywhere

He just wants to sleep. [View in browser](=.J6lzV28v5CMlDeYKF8aXxq0YxJMsRPOfzJ-YMSpxMno) [Zikoko Daily] 5 May, 2023 Hey . The closest I’ve gotten to a nationwide crisis was the pandemic lockdown robberies and attacks after ENDSARS. That’s minimal compared to waking up to actual bomb blasts, which is what the Nigerian student in this #AbroadLife experienced. There’s no #MyDumbelinaWahala today because I haven’t seen the dog since she decided to bathe in her owner’s elubo yesterday. Maybe she knew, like every Nigerian child, that it’s better to disappear after committing an offence, to escape your mum’s wrath. Is Dumbelina gradually having sense?

She spoke to Umar, a Nigerian student in Sudan, who woke up to the bomb explosions and gunshots in Khartoum on April 15. For the next couple of days, it was a struggle to survive — he even had to go days without bathing. When the Nigerian government promised to evacuate citizens, it looked like hope had arrived, until they got stuck at Arbatah for eight hours. Here’s a snippet: “There is food and water, and we use the USB cords inside the [evacuation] buses to charge our devices. The only downside is the high prices of things here. You can purchase one bottle of water for almost 500 Sudanese pounds (₦400). The toilet is always very dirty, and I’m afraid of getting infections. But what can I do? No one cares about the state of a toilet in the middle of a war.” [Read his story here](=.vppwSr2vMy5pj63B1cKQnXdEQVPZttNfvbvhbXvrcU8) =.PTH_XWoInnDhgjcExxoyISbqlqmg-Q3hTxcD99YemtI ARTSPLIT aims to improve the investment status of African art by allowing users to co-own valuable artworks on a platform that ensures price discovery and market liquidity.
