Don't kid yourself.
Nobody will sit at home for 2 weeks.
At least not the responsible ones.

Not even the extremely lazy and irresponsible ones will sit inside a house for 2 weeks... Say wetin happen?!!

Even during the Civil war, no one did that.

Even the idiot in Finland along with his morons on social media know it's not feasible... They just want to catch cruise and feed their propaganda.

Beremx:
Foolish man, this is what he would have done instead of locking up shops of market people because they obeyed sit at home order.
The people locked up their shops because there is no security to protect them if they open their shops and not because they're in solidarity with Simon Ekpa.

You are calling him "foolish" because you're typing on "Nairaland" forum.

If I may ask, do you have a Father? If yes, where is he?

Abagworo:
The only reasonable way to improve security in the Soitheast is to release Nnamdi Kanu. Others are cosmetic and volatile attempt at finding impossible solution. The problem with Southeast is not supremacy fight over sit at home but rather the insecurity that arose from ENDSARS and arrest of Kanu which gave room for proliferation of arms and Ekpa's relevance. Release Kanu and Ekpa's influence dies same day.

Insecurity became high in SE after endsars while nnamdi kanu was still abroad

Southeast 🤣😂😅😅😅

You want a governor to make his people collateral damage.

Try to dey think now..

Until i see tucano jets pissing on those terrorists and their sympathisers, i won't take SE seriously.

pineed:

What do you people actually want, eh?.. Governor doesn't provide security you were complaining.. now he's providing security you're still complaining!

Truly some of you don't want peace & end to Sit-at-home in south east.

People want assurance not scaring them with security operatives..

This same security were responsible for the murders of some traders days back, what message did they send with that?
It's always easy to type from the phone..

Will you entrust ur live to a security operative that just killed a Friend, colleague or even an associate to protect you..
The governor started on the wrong note and it will take a lot of time for people to trust his efforts with the security provisions..

RoxyBrownAutos:
Deploying armoured vehicles in the street of Enugu will help people sit at home for fear of being killed by security agents.

What do u ppl really want.....if there's no security u complain, if u see security u still complain.....na why una no progress

I hope the security agencies are also present in all the interior/rural settlements??

RoxyBrownAutos:

Shut up!

BoldBrainz:


Some of you just talk carelessly.

Why should tucano fighter jets be flying around civilian airspace when the country is not at war or in a state of emergency?

How many of the said jets have hovered in the North East civilian airspace through the over 10years of terrorism and insurgency that have plagued the region?

lol....you suppose know our tribe handwriting nah awon Yoruba ronu

Governor Mbah of Enugu state is playing with fire.

He might be hit at his weakest point.

Governor Mbah just need to be careful with the IPOB people.

Talk an cheap for you..

Nwanne we are happy for our Governor. Any terrorist that put head in Enugu now will meet his creator. God bless Peter Mba.

Amen

Akalia:
Yes, the jets showing up in the sky over enugu will have some psychological hit on miscreants looking to cause menace.
I am in enugu and I like the way Peter mbah is using his executive powers to assert himself as the CSO of the state. In such I just came home from work now and on my way home I saw beefed up security in almost any angle I looked.

Any criminal that has mind can come test power. Fools.

Only reason some of you can be confident enough to even contemplate the idea of fighter jets hovering civilian airspaces is because the Nigerian system has largely abused the essence of the armed forces.

A society where soldiers aimlessly roam the streets and meddle in civilian disputes that are constitutionally within the working purview of the Police force, is enough yardstick for the citizens to be misinformed enough to believe the air force should fly jets in a region that is experiencing security challenges being perpetrated by ordinary hoodlums.

So this comes as no surprise.

Those Useless Security are Creating Terrible Traffic Jam
They Should be patrolling

The Wike of the East..carry go.Others are now sitting up. The people's governor.
Anybody that wants to be prime minister should come and let his people always see him.
MNK has spoken..prime minister obey

jumper524:
so failure in the north is your yardstick to determine your own progress. FYI, multiple times tucano jets have hovered the north east, northwest region. Even recently they bombed bandits in nasarawa state.

The Airforce has no business flying fighter jets in the South East. The security challenges there can comfortably be handled by the Nigerian Police if Nigeria were a working country.

Let's stop attaching sentiments to these things.

SmartyPants:


What are you saying? in the North East and North West the airforce is extremely active. You are talking about Tucanos meanwhile much more sophisticated aircraft are being used daily in that theatre.

The North East has been under seige by terrorists and insurgents who have camps in various forests. It is understandable if the airforce puts up a strong showing over there.

There is nothing happening in the South East to warrant the intervention of the Airforce. The police can comfortably handle the challenges, it they possess the will and requisite government directives.

001Lagos:
This Mbah is getting it right with the way he's tackling Simon ekpa and his terrorist cult menace in south east

Nice one Mr Governor

werey you said that because of likes useless ipob and obiDENCE

The presence of armed security personnel's on the road will even make many people not to come out at all.
Nigerian armed forces kills innocent people same way as the UGM.
Flying bullet no dey see road to see who be innocent.

Nwokem, jee zue ike! Govt has the right to lock up Ogbete and other markets built by the govt and the ones built by individuals.

but the esterners said sit at home is voluntary, they say it every time here on nairaland and Facebook, Twitter and everywhere.
Is voluntarily sit at home not same as solidarity?

Pakute:

IBB once said when lousy foolish yaribah man like you beats the drum of war while he sleeps well, he keeps sleeping.

So when did agitation for release of a political prisoner become terrorism?

When did a request for plebiscite become terrorism?

When did civil disorder using sit at home become terrorism?

Kiddo... go and learn history and stop using your Chinese phone to type trash.

WHEN BIAFRA ARMY HIT THOSE VEHICLES, THEY WILL KNOW THAT IS NOT A TANK.


ANYBODY STILL INSIDE NA BYE, BYE...

okeysoninv:
Who will released those killed by Nnamdi kanu. They deserve justice. Say no to injustice.

I am not aware of anyone killed by Kanu but rather allegedly killed by his supporters. Kanu is a symbol in Igboland beyond Southeast and even among other ethnicities in South-south of Nigeria. Government made a hero out of him at very early stage to an extent that he is now a symbol of freedom fight more influential than the supposed Igbo leaders and politicians. I have always maintained that Nigerians should be one and love one another to an extent that some people think I'm anti-Igbo but I have never believed division is a solution to shared problems. It is best to unite and face the problems together but Nnamdi Kanu belongs to the school of thought that independent Biafra will be better than a united Nigeria. I am opposite of his belief but then I believe in freedom and equity as the best approach to peaceful coexistence not selective justice or persecution. Just like Asari, MC Oluomo and Oba of Lagos are walking free so should Kanu cause they even committed worse

so you believe the police alone can handle terrorists.

Don't mind the !d!ots. Most of them blaming the governor are Ipob criminals who use the sit at home to steal.

slimthugchimee2:

That's my point. Arms flew around from looting of Police armoury which created the pathway to insecurity but arrest of Nnamdi Kanu created "sit at home" and emergence of Simon Ekpa.

kanu is a leader of a terrosit organization and saying that he didn't kill anybody but his followers did sounds too childish abeg, it's like saying Osama didn't kill anybody but his followers did, it's like saying buhari was not curropt but his ministers were.
And comparing kanu that gave an order for a sitting president to be captured by his boys in 2020 to Mc oluomo is another talk for another day.

He's channelling his energy in the wrong direction. How are other south East governor's tackling the menace. Soludo initially tackled the problem this way and even threatened to close up businesses, but he has learned from experience. The money he's spending in paying this securities would have fixed some road, that will help reassure peoples confidence in his government.

Abagworo:

for the records, kanu started the looting of police armory, the first sit at home in the East was declared by kanu himself, he gave kids manchine guns to start wasting lives, declared the "zoo" arm forces enemy of the people, it is on records that more army checkpoints, police stations were attacked and innocent people killed under his watch and orders.
