My big win this week is, I was able to write an article and publish to my waiting followers even with the demoralizing situation in my country (Nigeria) this week.
I write weekly on this platform, but for 3 days now, I can't concentrate in composing what to write, so publishing last night was a win to me, this is the article How to Upload Files with Drag 'n' Drop and Image preview in Laravel 8 using dropzone

Great job, man. I've heard the news about what is happening in Nigeria, it makes me sick to my stomach to see how police brutality is commonplace all over the world.

Keep up the good work, if there is anything that may change this situation is education and people helping each other. Warm regards from Brazil 👋

Wow, thanks for your regards, the police actually pushed the youths to protest, now we are protesting peacefully, they send the military to start shooting on unarmed youths.
We are been brutalized for doing nothing, as a software engineer, I am scared of going out with my laptop because they might use it as an excuse to extort me and even locking me up for not parting away with my money. It was as bad as that.
thanks

I'm sorry to hear that. Is there a link for people to donate/help in any way?

Awesome, I am a Nigerian myself, (but living in California) and my Dad has been stuck in Nigeria during COVID-19 and passport issues. My heart goes out to you.

Thank you, things are now gradually returning to what it has been before, the politicians have used their military might to suppress the youth's voice again, I pray the youths don't make a mistake in 2023 election, its high time we vote out all these present crops of politicians, they lack innovations and all their mindset is to embezzlement money. The youths are not dull and fraudulent as they made the world see us, but because of their selfish interest, they have sold us out, we are very intelligent, resilient, innovative, trustworthy, skillful, but we lack the infrastructure to develop ourselves.
Pray for us and also in your little way speak for us in the international community, we are going to be great again
