Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu has asked those behind enforcing sit-at-home in the Southeast region to stop the exercise.
Kanu spoke through his lead counsel, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, in a video clip.


According to Ozekhome, Kanu said he does not believe in the sit-at-home, insisting he could not be fighting for his people and at the same time shutting down their economy.

He cited the effect of the sit-at-home exercise on the social, economic, cultural and political life of the people, lamenting that it has put the Igbo under psychological, psychical and mental stricture.

”As his lead counsel and lawyer, he has told me that he does not believe in Sit-at-home; he can not be fighting for his people and shutting down their economy. How do they feed? How will they train their children? Many a time, he cried to me in my presence that he wants to be released so that he can hold a world press conference and address the Igbo and Ala Igbo and the entire world to say, ”Don’t stay at home on Mondays, go about your normal duties, go to work; because the Bible tells us it is upon the labour of your hands, I will bless the fruits of your labour.

“So, I am now re-echoing again and again what Nnamdi Kanu has told me, ”He does not believe in that sit-at-home on Mondays,” which cripples the social, economic, cultural and political life of the people, putting them under psychological, psychical and mental stricture and torture,” Kanu said through Ozekhome.


Many Imo residents however remained indoors on Monday due to fear of the unknown.

Our correspondent, who monitors the situation, reports that several institutions remain closed as few motorists were seen plying the roads.

U be real mumu o. So you are happy with the state south east is in presently. How can some of you be so stupid to be hurting yourselves and think you are hurting other people. Igbos have now become a laughing stock in Nigeria

muykem:
Don't mind them. We are supporting you guys to continue sit at home probably 3 months straight. God will punish all pro Biafra outside South East who refused to close their shops every Monday.

Based on comments here on Nairaland, the Yoruba are the most pained over Igbo people's decision to sit at home. Yoruba, why?. Na so una care for the progress of the great Igbo tribe?

gidgiddy:


The people who wail the most over sit home in the South East are those who are not even from the South East

ashacot:


And people who support sit at home activities are people who don't stay in south east, but are terrorists who stay outside the region.

gidgiddy:


Thats the story of Nigeria, country without peace

ashacot:


And you are the number one trouble maker here on Nairaland for supporting terrorism in our region.

I wonder why seun never ban people like you for life on this forum
