After years of spending our miserable Mondays in the office or school, we should be on the verge of changing that. We’ve compiled nine reasons that are sure to convince the government why every Monday should become a public holiday. 

Two-day weekend is too short 

Out of seven days in a week, we use five to work and two to rest, that’s wrong. Everything in life needs balance and making Mondays public holidays means we’re getting closer to balance and equality. 

Nobody likes going to work on Mondays 

Nigeria practices a democracy. The whole point of a democracy is a government for the people and the people are saying they don’t like going to work on Mondays. 

The government introduced us to a lifestyle now they have to maintain it

We’ve tasted what it’s like to go two weeks without resuming work on Monday and now we want more. It’s the way the world works.

We’re tired of working 

The truth of the matter is everyone is tired of working. We just want an extra day to rest.

It’ll be good for the economy 

If we don’t go to work on Monday, we’d have time to go out and spend money on other things. The naira would stay in circulation and our economy would benefit greatly from it. 

We don’t have light, at least, give us holiday

Light? Security? Even safety from floods, the government hasn’t given to us. They should at least give us public holidays, so we can forget about the problems we’re experiencing. 

Even Monday wants to rest 

Monday is tired of being the most hated day of the week. Everyone is constantly nagging about how much they hate Mondays. Give the day a rest. Let it know what it’s like to be loved and appreciated.

African giants

We’re too big to be doing what every other country is doing. If they do five working days, we should do four. If they do four, we should do three. It’s how bad bitches operate. 

Please

The government should just do it for the sake of doing it. We don’t even have any reason again, at this point we’re just begging.
