It's was serious demonstration of Power and right yesterday  following the Sit-at-home  orders issued by the Mazi Nnandi Kanu of the Indigenous people of Biafra  (Ipob)

IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu said the call was to protest “bad governance and economic annihilation”.



He urged the Igbo everywhere to boycott all activities organised to mark Independence Day celebrations.

Kanu, in a statement on Thursday by IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful, said: “The sit-at-home order issued by the global movement on 1st of October 2020 is totally successful in so many states and cities in Biafraland.”



He said all states in the Southeast and Southsouth within ‘Biafraland’, including Abia, Rivers, Ebonyi, Anambra, Imo and Delta states, complied with the order.

He said the compliance with “this order is to showcase our readiness for the speedy coming of Biafra freedom and independence”.



“We thank our people in South Africa, USA, Canada, Britain, France, Japan, Germany, Indonesia, Australia and other countries of the world for their resoluteness declared to the world over that we are no longer interested in Nigeria.



“The whole world must understand that IPOB cannot go back to Nigeria,” Kanu said.

But our correspondents observed that, contrary to IPOB’s claim, a majority of residents did not heed the call in Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and parts of Abia and Rivers states.

It was unsuccessful in Imo as many people trooped out for their businesses. Markets, stores and artisans all opened.



Except for banks and government offices that were closed due to the holiday, people were seen moving about freely the capital city of Owerri.



It was also business as usual in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi capital, as residents went about their normal business activities.

Vehicles moved in and out of the state as the usual commercial activities went on unhindered.

Markets in the state, especially the Margaret International Market Abakaliki, were open when our reporter checked.

Police spokesman, Loveth Odah, said there was no reported case of harassment from citizens by any group.

The directive recorded low compliance in parts of Port Harcourt.

Our reporter who monitored Eliozu, Rumuodara and Tank junction areas discovered that most of the shops were open just as markets were on.

At Ikokwu automobile spare parts market along Ikwerre Road, traders were seen either sitting or standing in small groups talking.

Some others crowded a newsstand close to the place chatting and arguing.



A trader, Uzo Aladinma, said he regretted that almost “nothing is working out in this country”.

“People are being killed in parts of the country on daily basis, nobody is doing anything about it.

“The President is favouring his people over the other parts in job offers, political appointments. There is hunger, hardship, lack of employment, among others.

“We cannot continue to live like this.

The Federal Government should understand this, and call for a referendum so that every part goes their separate ways.”

Security Operatives, especially the police, were deployed around the Ikoku area as the men blocked one lane of the dual carriageway of Olu-Obasanjo.

There was partial compliance in Anambra, but residents attributed it to the public holiday rather than the IPOB call.

The popular Eke -Awka market in Awka and the Onitsha Main Market bubbled with activities.

But, some markets, including street shops monitored by our correspondent in Onitsha and Nnewi, were locked.
