The year 2021 has been a rollercoaster. We have all lost a family member, a friend, a schoolmate, a work colleague, a relative, or an acquaintance to this monster called Covid-19 and its mutating variants, the latest of which is Omicron.

But by the grace of God, we have crossed The Rubicon. There is a good chance we may soon win the war against this pandemic provided all the eligible segments of the populace do the needful and take the Covid jab in order to help the country attain herd immunity.

The pandemic notwithstanding, The PanAfrikanist family is grateful for every ride you took with us: From interesting, inspirational stories to updates, we say thank you for trusting us to share your stories.

We urge our readers to continue supporting us, to continue reading and sharing the stories. We encourage you to take care of yourselves, Covid-19 is still real.

Drink responsibly and abide by all the Covid-19 protocols.

Enjoy the holiday and remember to keep visiting us at Thepanafrikanist.com
