Covid 19 has brought many problems in the whole world. Everyone is crying about this pandemic which no one knows the truth about it but let's see what damage it has done to the normal business people at the village. The normal business people have really been affected whereby they do not know what to sell. With an interview with some of them they say that they used to import tomatoes, fish and dagaa from Uganda because it was sold at a cheaper price but they no longer do that due to the lockdown at the border due to that they have to buy the goods at a very expensive price which discourages their customers.

This has affected their business and  life because they depended on this but nowadays they are living a life full of frustrations and cries from their children since they have little to offer compared to the past. Most of them used to sell those vegetables and later on buy something for their children but since it failed their children are really suffering. Now that the prices of many goods were hyked. Their cry is that the government to help them because their children are suffering. They do not have food and they say hunger is what will kill them but not corona. 
"Even though we have what to sell our customers don't have money," this are their cries whereby most of their customers are very broke and their goods end up getting destroyed since no one buys them. Even the time allocated is limited because most of their customers used to come around 6:30 but nowadays they close their business by 6:30 due to the curfew and they end up losing many customers. The curfew has really affected their business and at the end some even end up selling goods amounting to  50 shillings only which is a very big loss to them.
They just wish that the Corona pandemic will end soon because if it continues they will have nothing to eat since It has already done a very big damage into their lives. The borders have been closed and things such as fish and vegetables are not easily found and opened it will be a very big relief to them . They are forced to walk for long looking for this because if they don't they will perish due to hunger. "Jamani jamani hii kitu iishe ama mimi na familia yangu tutakufa kwanza serikali itusaidie sisi," this was their cry.

Many have been affected while others are being affected. As much as it is causing death and many other effects in our body our economies are also going to be affected. The disease is causing much trouble each and every time. Our economy is going to be affected in such a way that there will be low purchase of goods and  services. This is because the movement of people is limited hence no one is buying goods being offered. Since travelling has been limited in some countries that is public transport for example in Wuhan in China those who depend on it are suffering since they have nothing else to do now that there is no travelling by the time the corona comes to an end many will be poor perhaps especially those depending on businesses since many have been closed to prevent ...

THE SECRET HISTORY OF MY UNIVERSITY LIFE

      THE SECRET HISTORY OF MY UNIVERSITY LIFE Everyone has a different story about their university life. We have those who enjoy and those who do not it all depends. Changing the environment and trying to cope up with it and new people is  among the hardest things in life. September 2018 was the month and the year where I had to cope with my new life. Finding new friends was so hard now that I was an introvert. The only friends I had were my roommates and the environment itself was hell now that I was from Western and everything is totally different from Mombasa. "Joto ya Mombasa nayo" was too much. Imagine bathing four times a day because of the hot environment.  "Just work hard and go to the university there is no reading" when I remember this words I feel like beating someone. I realized in matters to do with education it's very hectic all those assignments and yet you have to balance it with social life like going to the beach and all other so...
