At the same time, there is a rainbow in the sky - bright and colourful, but brief.  Aspects of the entertainment industry, surprisingly, are thriving and showing up as perfect antithesis to the challenges the entire country is going through during this period of a global pandemic that has grounded life the way we used to live it.  Even the Nigerian sports sector that used to suffer the most vilification for lack of direction and proper development of its domestic sector, throws up the occasional bright spots of hope and opportunities. These, break through the dark clouds of despair and shine the light of possibilities on the gloomy landscape."}
