teemlo: THE people of Enugu Saturday refused to comply with the directive by the pro-Biafra group, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB to sit at home to mourn Igbos killed in northern states by Boko Haram.

There was apprehension among the people over the sit-at-home order but there was no compliance as the people went about their normal businesses.

The state police command had on Wednesday issued a statement warning those trying to cause confusion in the state to drop the idea or face the wrath of the law.

The command thereafter beefed up security in parts of the state to signal their readiness to tackle the miscreants who masquerade as MASSOB members.

Many residents who woke up Saturday morning expecting to see the enforcement of the order were disappointed as the capital city was calm with many traders doing their normal businesses.

The markets were opened to traders and buyers even though some youths were telling people that there would be no trading at Ogbete Main Market.

Officials of MASSOB were nowhere to be found as policemen were seen along major streets of the capital city.

Reports from Nsukka, however, said economic activities were partially paralyzed as some traders locked up their shop in the market for fear of being attacked

CFCfan: Afam is spot on!

Afam4eva: Enugu is always different. If there's one thing i've noticed, it is that MASSOB seems to be dominant anywhere you have a lot of pseudo-illiterate traders.

gbanikiti: AFAM! AFAM!! AFAM!!! UGBORO OLE KA M KPORO AHA GI? IJI KWA AHU? LEKWA UDIRI OKWU SI GI N'ONU PUTA? YOU ARE SPEWING TRASH BECAUSE YOU ARE FROM ENUGU STATE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN ANOTHER SE STATE YOU WOULDN'T SAY NONSENSE!

DOROKWA AKA NA NTI GI AFAM!! WERE IRE GI GUO EZE GI!!

Okija juju:


he is one of the few intellectuals we still have amongst us.

Afam4eva:
That's the truth.

There's a reason why you rarely hear of MASSOB wahala in Enugu and that's because it's the sanest city in Igboland and it probably houses the most educated.

Uclloyd28: Afam4eva is not truly ibo. Insulting Anambra people for no just cause and yet u pride yourself as a matured, right thinking fellow. U are bound to betrayal the ibos if given the chance. Nkita rachakwa gi ike idiot!

BTW, Am from Imo.

jason123: Anambra peeps will think others are trying to cause confusion in Igbo land but that is not the case. They need to learn to be civilized like Enugu and Imo peeps. A word is enough for the wise.

Decryptor: Afam na eme ka o wee meeda ndi asusu oga ya nyere ya oru morderetor. Ataru m ya uta o! Nihi na ebe mmadu si eri ka ona akpachie!

yertyr:
seriously, guy this is trash. The issue is simple: u're required to stay at home to mourn as well as commiserate with ur fellow igbos who lost their beloved in the north. Abeg, pesin tell u to join massob? And u're here talking about sane state and states with 'pseudo illiterates'. Na u read pass Ojukwu abi?... That is biafra can't work, we are not even united to form our own. And 4 ur information: if the word 'illiterates where meant 4 anambrans'... Know that ezekwesili, akunyili, soludo, obi all hail from anambra.

jason123: I have always said it here. Enugu and Imo peeps are the best set of Igbos in Nigeria.

Afam4eva:
So, i'm not Igbo again? lol. Unu ga egbu mmadu na Nairaland. So, all the years that i have been fighting people on this forum for denigrating my tribe, i was Igbo but because i said something that did not go down well with some of you, i have seized to be Igbo. The problem with a lot ofIgbo people even the so-called educated ones is that they're never objective and want everybody to have one view on issues else the person will be termed sabo.

Afam4eva:
First of all, i don't know why you're naming people from Anambra cos i never said anything about Ndi Anambra being illiterates. I only talked about Enugu town and not it's people. Was Enugu not jointly built by all Igbos with Anambra people even being at the forefront?

There's nothing wrong with calling people to sit at home to mourn Igbos that have been murdered in the North. It's a problem when people are threatened to do so. That's what happens when you have pseudo illiterates running a sensitive group as MASSOB. They should learn to employ diplomacy when doing things. There's a reason why the top echelon of the Igbo society don't associate with Biafra.

Abagworo: Not observing the "sit at home" plan does not equate to being civilized. From the reports I've got, the compliance was not absolute but satisfactory. I'm totally against MASSOB's plan to disintegrate Nigeria but the "sit at home" was a good way of mourning the thousands we've lost to unwarranted hatred across the country.

Uclloyd28:

All am saying is that u went too far. And so you know, Imo has the most educated number of people in SE and ranked among the best 5 educated states in Nigeria.

jaymdee: The Enugu/Anambra wahala shouldn't come up at all. It's clear that Enugu holds more enlightened people in the East. This doesn't mean that you have less literate people in Anambra. And FYI, literacy and enlightenment can have some disparity. Enugu is to the East what Lagos is to the West. And Anambra is to the East what Ekiti(literary giants) is to the West. Simple. No fight here biko.

ACM10:

I'm disappointed with this comment of yours. Seems you are prone to gaffe. Onitsha is the home of the most enlightened Igbos and indeed Nigerians. Think of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Prof. Chike Obi, Philip Emeagwali, Justice Ikpeazu, just to name few. Soon you will start wailing of Anambra superiority complex when Chino stumbles on this comment.
