Why Is This So In The South East?? I Need Explanation

So today I decided to travel to Owerri from onitsha for a business meeting, the journey was meant to be a 1hr30min journey or less, but the check point for such short distance was sooo much!!

Like literally every 1km of the road has checkpoint, it's so bad that from a particular check point, you can basically see another check point ahead.

Ranging from the Army to the police to FRSC. Basically every force is on the road and all of them including the army were collecting bribe from the drivers. I actually felt bad for the drivers because it was too much. I felt really disgusted as well because I expected them to distinguish themselves but no they didn't.

I guess this is why the transport rate here is on the high side.

Now I've spent 4hrs on the road due to traffic induced by these forces from blockage of the road

Last week I came back from Abuja to Anambra and the check point were few across the north and I kept wondering.

Is there insurgency in the SE or is the crime rate high here or what exactly is the cause of this excess checkpoints / extortion points
Fear of sovereignty

From Ore to Onitsha you will pass over 20 or 30 checkpoints! angry
Re: Many Police, Army Checkpoints In The South-East? Why Is This So? by KushLyon(m): 11:32am On Dec 29, 2020
It's because they know many people will be traveling to the east during this period from different parts of the country and so they want to cash out. Check points and road blocks are usually very much during festive periods in the east

Yet people are afraid to travel across Northern routes....

Where these checkpoints are needed, you won't see them (Abuja, Zamfara, Yobe, Borno, etc).

If we call this nation a failed state, most moronic sycophants will take offense.

Northern Nigeria and some good portion of Yorubas, especially the Muslim Yorubas are still very scared of the Igbos since 1966. They are very scared that Igbos may either fight them back or divide Nigeria. This same fear is the reason they don't want an Igbo person to become President.


Their mind keep telling them to make sure Igbos are held down, that if igbos are not Policed to the core, that Igbos may repeat 1966 event and revenge on them for the evil things they committed against the Igbos.


That was why they made it a secret policy in Nigeria after the end of the civil war that no Igbo man or woman will ever become Inspector General of Police or Chief of Army Staff, but they don't know that the ways of God is not the way of man, Goodluck Jonathan shocked them and made an Igbo man, General Azubuike Ihejirika the first Igbo COAS since the end of the war and this pained them so much that they swore to remove Goodluck at all cost.


Now look at their region what is happening, is God not awesome in His ways

you are exaggerating, from Awka to Onitsha is just one check point at Ukpor junction, Onitsha to our boundary with Imo is three Checkpoints on normal day, it's because of Yuletide they increase the numbers of police and road safety officials
Oga stop saying trash.. Akwa to Onitsha is inside thesame state.. Moving from another state to the other is where the problem lie. What you don't know stop saying another person is exaggerating, this is how you kill matters before anyone take them up.

Nice observations.


When I stayed in the north, you hardly see such. The Nigerian Government has always been against the South.

But the south have representatives in the government.

What have they done?

That is how they frustrate drivers along the road over bribes collection.

Let me see your papers 10 times before you reach your 50km destination.

1. SE/Igbos are highly educated and therefore law-abiding.
2. Igbos are rich and have no time to waste, therefore the Law-enforcement agencies know this and capitalize on it and extort them at every point (evidence : remember how #SARS was more brutal to the Igbos/Anambraruans specifically, because they are easily extorted, because they don't have time to waste, they pay their way out of every difficult circumstance).
3. We all know the rich fear to be criminalizsd, and there are usually bad criminals in the SE. Therefore, the SE citizens don't play with security. Hence the security intense security at every junction. I make bold to declare that the amount of Security Force imposed/deployed to the east is more than that deployed to other parts of the country/Nigeria.
4. Naija no balance at all. The Igbos are alw9at the receiving end of every evil leadership intentions in Nigeria.
5. QED.
