The women at Eziukwu market in Aba, Abia State on Friday took to the street to protest what they call outrageous taxation by the State government.

The women ABN TV gathered that the women comprise of petty traders who sell foodstuffs, fruits and other perishable goods an attachees in the market.

They were carrying placards with various inscriptions including "Okezie Ikpeazu we no go pay N18,000 for each shop" and others.

Aba women riot of 1929 comes to mind. Truth is that women play an important role in the development of the society and i pray this protest is peaceful

All politicians in Nigeria irrespective of their parties are threats to the existence of the masses but tribalism, religion and party sentiments have made some people to turn blind eyes to things happening in their backyard only to be seeing the things happening in another zone.
Abia state has been poorly managed, I think more than even what Okorocha's misdeeds are perpetrated on a daily basis in that state but since he's from a political party connected to the South East and also a Christian plus also from the zone, whatever he does are always overlooked.
Imagine the rants from certain folks here if this were to be Okorocha, or from the West.



By the time some people will understand that no politician care about them, Nigeria can start working.

Otoge

They all queued for free Kerosene in the just concluded elections. It is safe to say they are paying for it right now.

This is what happens when a people are too docile and fail to understand that they wield a Thanos-like kind of power, particularly during elections.

It wasn't a riot, it was a protest. The white man coined the word Aba women riots to suite themselves.

...no politician cares...

First Aba women riot 1929.
Govt. Led by British colonials.
Cause; Unfair Taxation
Second Aba women riot; 2019
Govt. Led by Nwafo(indigenous Blackman)
Cause; Multiple taxation
Are we going forward or backwards?

Meanwhile...

Booked... I'm coming back

Nigerians don't have government but criminal extortionist

when we dey talk dey no gree hear, they never see something

A strategy to recover the difference of that N30K minimum wage increment. Btw... my fellow Ibo Chukwus should rather focus on their deteriorating states instead of crying over the affairs of Yoruba regions.

2 litres of kerosene for N18,000. It's well

Good

Another Aba women riot in 2019 exactly 90 years after the Aba women riot of 1929

Na our turn!! na our turn!! Na so Ngwa people take put Okezie for seat. Now they too are regretting.

With oil revenues falling and with the government finding it difficult to pay workers what's next?

Increase the taxes.

Many states are going to be doing the same in the coming months. Unless oil goes above $100 per barrel

Dem no wan show us their bress ?

Dem no wan show us their bress ?

You be confirmed mugu!!!

Let us reason please.

Over political scene is controlled by illiterate and criminals

Schools are controlled by malus to the extend that sorting is the only way out

Music industry is under the threat of yahoo boys

Religion sector is being monitized and privatized by some smart people

Are Nigerians thinking about the future of the next generation

what is really happening in Abia state... Okezuo Ikpeazu has failed his people.. He's a pure disappointment,






Spits

Fake news from ogbomosho newspapers


Abia people, workers and pensioners are happy with ikpeazu. This Yoruba Muslim should stop this fake news

Is it for the shop or a taxation?
Even many civil servants don't pay up to 18k in tax,so I presume is for the shop rent.
This also goes to further buttress the fact that blogging is now practically an outlet for either illiterates,untrained or ill trained journalists in Nigeria.
Having said that,N18k is way too much for a shop.
The state government should reconsider,max N10k.
Times are hard, government should not make it harder

When they were voting him they thought they were doing APC or apga
