The Sit-at-home directed by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB and the Moment for the the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra recorded total compliance in Onitsha and Nnewi with all the markets and shops in the two cities under locks and keys. Commercial banks in the two cities, roads and streets markets and shops all observed the directice as people stayed back in their homes in observance of the durective. All the Federal high ways especially Onitsha Enugu expressway, from Asaba end of the road to Ziks roundabout to New Motor Spare Parts Nkpor down to former Ogbunike Toll gate qere ghost of themselves as motorist and people deserted the roads in observance of the IPOB/MASSOB directive. As early as 6am when Vanguard visited Upper Iweka, while returning from Nnewi, Upper Iweka which is know for its busy nature was deserted, even Newspaper distribution to Owerri and Awka wasimpossible as vehicles that freet them were no where to be seen went round Nnewi and Onitsha. From down fly over Upper Iweka to Niger Bridge Head vehicles were not seen on the ever busy Onitsha Enugu expressway, even the roads and its adjoining strrets were deserted by both motorist and pedestrans, while in some streets in the area youths turned them to football playing field.

Very interesting. I have been indoors since morning here in Owerri reading "There was a country" by the late revered author China Achebe and intermittently checking the internet for updates on the sit at home. As I read all the details contained in this Wonderful book, it feels like I'm in 1967 witnessing the events taking place in Biafra. Igbos really suffered in the hands of these wicked people with absolute support from Britain and Russia. In page 227/228 of the book, a sentence really got me emotional and captured it all. It went thus "...we would have to adjust to the realities and consequences of a Nigeria that did not appeal to us any longer. Nigeria had not succeeded in crushing the spirit of the Igbo people, but it had left us indigent, stripped bare, and stranded in the wilderness." End of quote. Considering that these events took place almost fifty years ago yet the Igbos have remained resolute in their agitations for Biafra goes to show that it would never end unless it is granted to them. The problem is that Nigeria is being ruled by very dull people, because intelligent people would have either granted the Igbo people semi autonomy to have Biafra and still be under Nigeria union or grant all the six regions autonomy. We surely can't continue like this as a country because Nigeria will collapse under the weight of its numerous problems that keeps multiplying with each passing day. 297 Likes 39 Shares |

When America remembers its fallen heroes and declares a memorial day for them, Nigerian leaders will be quick to show shameless solidarity. But when it comes to fallen heroes in its land, aside from the wreaths and display of military pageantry, it's all hogwash and eye service. At least, honoring the sit-at-home is an indication of agreement. 85 Likes 3 Shares |

Kudos to fellow Biafran bloods! They killed our people and want us to be silent about it. Yet some want June 12 declared democracy day. is that not double face ? The heroes of Biafra must be remembered! The Biafra war history must not go extinct. Mbanu! God forbid! Pls my brothers, as long as we are still in Nigeria, let's start voting pro Biafra contestants who will go extra mile in honouring our departed brothers not like the mad man in Ebonyi state called Umaru.

Please Southerners of the South West, South South and South East explain to me. The Fulani Herdsmen have been killing people, have u heard any Fulani Gov condemn the Fulani Herdsmen? These same Govs who refused to condemn the Fulani Herdsmen are quick to condemn the press for revealing they are fulani herdsmen, yet won't condemn their atrocities! The killings are so bad that Trump summoned Buhari to USA to warn him About the killings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0ntPm8rB8s These same Fulani people are quick to condemn Biafrians for remembering their dead. Is this not injustice? Lemme explain to every Southerner, the Fulanis are calling all of us in the south fools . 2fine2fast: Thanks 31 Likes 4 Shares |
