Abstract summary 

With the closure of all public places, the stay-at-home order and the worsening economic indices occasioned by the fall in the price of crude oil with no foreseeable end, learned helplessness, negative emotions, and other psychosocial problems are bound to thrive. Interventions to improve social capital, coping resources, resilience, and good community and family cohesion are needed to promote psychosocial well-being during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria.
