".. grounded to mark the Biafra heroes and heroin's day in the South-East..."

What about cocaine?

Streets and roads in Enugu metropolis were on Monday completely deserted as economic and social activities were grounded to mark the Biafra heroes and heroin's day in the South-East

The report is the same in Imo, Anambra and Ebonyi states.

The celebration is marked by pro-groups on May 30 every year, to pray for those who died during the 1960s Biafra-Nigeria civil war.

This year, it, unfortunately, coincided with the Monday sit-at-home which the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), declared in the fourth quarter of 2021 to put pressure on the Nigerian government to release their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu has been in the detention facility of the country’s secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS) since June 27, 2021.

Our correspondent, who monitored the situation in Enugu, especially around T-Junction Flyover, Timber shed Market; National Open University, Trans Ekulu, Enugu, Roman Store Road, Nowas-Trans Ekulu Road, Abakpa Flyover, T-Junction Road among others, reported that those roads were completely deserted.

Many government institutions such as schools and ministries were all closed in Enugu.

The sit-at-home compliance can be reported to have 80 to 90 per cent adherence with major markets, banks, and shopping malls all shut down.

Meanwhile, few vehicular movements were recorded as some tricycles, minibuses, and private cars were seen plying the roads on the outskirts like Emene, Abakpa, Amechi Awkunanu, among others.

However, in Imo State, especially in Orlu town, the town was reportedly under siege by the Nigerian military.

Leader of the Biafra Nations League (BNL), a pro-Biafra group, Princewill Chimezie Richards, had in a post expressed a strong aversion to ‘the heavy militarisation of Orlu’, and major parts of the southeast region.

In Anambra, the state also largely witnessed compliance.

Some hoodlums earlier on Monday razed Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS), a state-owned media organisation.

This is bad, Mr Biden is a hypocrite for doing that, he's aiding and abetting a genocide, he will later pretend as if he cares about Palestinians.

Despite all the help, netanyahu still disrespect him every now and then, is it not better to stand his ground instead of trying to please Israel all the time.

He should stop playing games and politics with innocent lives


I will never worship any country all in the name of God's chosen, they need to see other people as humans and treat them with dignity.

Nobody is a child of devil, God created us all.

Israeli terrorists keep bombing hospitals, schools, grave yards yet they have not been able to rescue one of their citizenns with the Hamas.

Shame on them.

Igbos don't want IPOB with their cannibal ESN to be called terrorists but freedom fighters, yet they are the first to call others freedom fighters terrorists just because America says so.
No matter what your types say, those you named as terrorists here see themselves and are seen by many others as freedom fighters.

For there to be peace in Alaigbo, Keeping Nnamdi Kanu in gallow till eternity is better than releasing.

Should he be released today, he has lost Ipob Terrorist leadership to Simon Ekpa.

The two factions will fight each other because no one would let go and again, SE would face another shege promax

Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association, NECA, has raised the alarm over the consequences of ongoing divestment of multinationals in Nigeria, saying no fewer than 20,000 direct employees have lost their jobs to such divestments in recent times.

The umbrella body for employers and the voice of business in Nigeria raised the alarm in a statement titled “Urgent action to arrest the growing unemployment rate rate”.

NECA warned that the consequences of the massive job losses across sectors would continue to create insecurity challenges, and increase the occurrence of child labour among others.

The statement by its Director-General, Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde said: “We are concerned at the growing rate of unemployment in the country, made worse by the continuous divestment of global businesses and closure of local ones.

“It is worrisome to note that in the last three years, over 15 organisations with a combined value-chain staff strength of over 20,000 employees have either divested or partially closed operations.

“This has dire consequences not only for organized businesses but also for labour, government revenue and the households.”

Expressing the Association’s deep concerns, Mr. Oyerinde warned that “the consequences of this massive job losses across sectors will continue to create insecurity challenges, increase the occurrence of child-labour (as children will be forced to become bread-winners), adversely affect the disposable income of families, erode the purchasing power of individuals and drastically reduce economy’s output.”

While proffering solutions to this malaise, the NECA Director-General urged the Government to urgently address the multi-facet challenges currently being faced by organized businesses.

He noted that “the harsh business environment has made local businesses to be uncompetitive. The government must urgently address regulatory and legislative bottlenecks that tend to stifle businesses rather than promote them.

Continuous efforts must be made to promote locally-made goods through the provision of critical infrastructures; urgent stabilization of the foreign exchange market and ensuring that Ministries, Departments and Agencies are appraised not only by how much income they generate but also by how many businesses they facilitated or promoted.

The private sector creates reight out of every 10 jobs and deliberate effort must be made to ensure its sustainability and competitiveness.”
