According to him, the time when one planned for themselves on how their year and life was going to be is no longer the case in this pandemic.

M.anifest told Bernard Avle on his Point of View show monitored by GhanaWeb that COVID-19 has become an avenue for humanity to forge ahead in times of difficulty, get back to the basics of humanity, survival, and where people are no longer selfish, but rather look out for each other.

“In this pandemic, you cannot be selfish anymore, your messages should contribute to the welfare of others. E.g you can’t just put out a single and tell people to go and listen,” he told Bernard.

M.anifest took the opportunity to advise his fellow creative artistes to use the opportunity COVID-19 has presented, to learn new crafts or to better the skills they already have.
