Abstract
Measures taken to curtail the spread of the Covid-19 virus in Nigeria were very stringent. The lockdown, among others, affected businesses and households, as individuals found ways to cope with the measures. This study used the qualitative method to collect data from 30 participants in Lagos and Ibadan, and purposive sampling was used among consenting participants. The in-depth interview guide was used in data collection. The data were analyzed using NVivo 12 plus. Findings show the effect of lockdown order on daily life, family, and income flow. Compliance with Covid-19 protocol was differentiated, as most of the participants comply with the lockdown order but had difficulties with facemasks and physical/social distances order. We recommend that to halt other waves of Covid-19, the preventive protocol should be adhered to. Keywords: Covid-19, Lockdown, Perception, Protocol, Southwest Nigeria.
