IkwerrePikin:
Over 5000 traders at the Ikoku Spare parts market in the Mile 3 axis of Port Harcourt have been given an impromptu eviction notice of three weeks by their landowners.
The landlords did not offer any reason for their action.

Chairman of the market, Anthony Alaribole in an interview with newsmen said many of the traders are yearly tenants who have been operating in Ikoku for about 30-50 years. He said they have been thrown into confusion because of the short notice.

He also alleged that the eviction notice is a strategy to destabilize the traders because of the matter they have with the police and the state government due to their demand of justice for the late Chima Ikwunado and the Ikoku4.

Some traders who spoke to City News appealed to the landlords to give them more time to plan their next move as no other location has been provided for them.

They also appealed to the state government to intervene and provide an alternative for them considering the important service they render to the society.

Though the State Government is yet to issue a an official statement on the development, City News gathered there are moves to relocate the traders to somewhere around Eleme junction.

When a tenant becomes richer than the landlord and the landlord thinks it's not right to be richer than your shop owner. Envy will not kill Nigerians sha

You will travel down to Aba to get your car spare parts no problem.

complexBoss12:



its funny hw u guys refuse to blame ur lazy ass for ur problems.

U wake up everyday n sleep, someone came from Aba to rent/buy ur land. provides a useful service while getting rich and ur here making noise.

Have u gone into any of their shops n found it dirty. of course they sweep out every day n pack it out. its ur government dat collects all manner of taxes including waste management bills dat shud provide waste bins n routinely pack Away d dirts.

Don't let ur hate eat u up for nothing

Calm down, it's not like the parts are being manufactured in Aba. They are imported from China. Anyone can import from China and sell them in PH. It is not rocket science. This is basic buying and selling 101.

So if there exists a vacuum, naturally another will provide the services.

If you know the number of cars in PH, then you know anyone who fills the vacuum created by the dislodged Igbos will hit a gold mine.

Ojiofor:


What are you waiting for before you get started?
You import goods with money not with envy,hatred and jealousy.
And let me quickly remind you that nobody is going to displace Igbos in PH city.
