Whats the assurance these guys won't attack anybody that wants to flout the Monday sit-at-home order?

From fear, it progressed to a habit.

You can clearly hear the governor say the market in Awka is open. Places like Abakaliki and even parts of Enugu open on Mondays

Na only them like Kanu pass?

When Kanu was sentenced, why didn't they shut down their shops indefinitely?

It's just a habit that they have gotten used to. Let's see how it turns out next Monday

Someone said they can upgrade 2021 Prado to 2025 one… I been wanting doubt seeing Toyota completely changed the design but then, I no fit doubt naija with everything I’ve seen.

I doubt if that can be done oh

So, upgrades are achievable when the body frames are similar.

That 2025 is so different. I doubt if anyone can pull that off

2002 Land Cruiser upgraded to 2023 model.

Roland17:
The embolden is the feedback I have received from everyone who traveled home from here and I am glad.

Yes, it was.

I never heard or encountered any scare, talk more of attack.

Long may it continue

raumdeuter:
How are you going to force someone to come outside and make money?

BlueRayDick:
I think the fear of non state actors attacking the traders may be reason why the traders chose to obey the order. Not like they also don't like making money on mondays

For now, we cannot ascertain if truly the violence is rampant, or it's just an issue of perception.

Another point is that if people know that the larger cities are safe and do not observe sit at home, the smaller ones can then dispel that fear.

If a market like Onitsha isn't observing it, smaller towns and cities won't.

Maybe that's what he is trying to achieve

[quote author=BlueRayDick post=138265203]Soludo orders shutdown of Onitsha main market for Complying with Monday sit-at-home by IPOB.

He threatened to extend the shutdown if he comes next Monday and the traders still fail to open their stalls to sell.

Will this approach Work to put an end to the Monday sit-at-home order?

Cc: Izzou

Governor Chukwuma Soludo this morning ordered a one-week shutdown of Onitsha Main Market over traders’ compliance with the Monday sit-at-home order, warning of a longer closure if they fail to reopen. Security agencies have sealed the market to enforce the directive. pic.twitter.com/tqYBW7nOQx

plays with their money, so I think it will work

He even said he will come back next Monday and check. If they refuse to open, he will shut it down again for another week.

He just has to fulfill his part of providing security.

We thank God that the Christmas was devoid of killings and kidnappings

BlueRayDick:
Good luck! ✅

Sleep on Beloved

She should keep sleeping

Who's following the drama between the Itsekiris and Urhobos concerning Sapele?

Nigeria's complexity is weird.

The day Nigeria breaks up, each region will scatter into more smaller regions

Bell finally rolled on sweet grandmother yesterday morning, 3 months shy of her 103rd birthday. Though her senior brother was always adamant she was born in 1922 and not 1923 as she claimed, so she may have been 103 already. A great innings for a great woman who spent 60 years of her life adopting and training dozens of children beside her own from her 30s and well into her 90s.

Don't cry. She's in a better place.

Take heart, Chief.

If Nigerian police was beating up and shooting non-violent criminals the way ICE has been doing, many of the Nigeria-based Trump supporters would have been calling for EndSARS type protests, but because Trump’s opposition is the party of LGBTQ (and other woke values that they detest) they are in support of any and every action that he takes.

@izzou your red cap chief has declared January 23 betrayal day

Thank God it's not my birthday. I for swear for am

Twice, Kwankwaso has chosen men and they betrayed him. He didn't threaten fire and brimstone

But Raumdeuter's man won't let the 35 states and the FCT rest, because he was betrayed.

sreamsense:
See ipob way of thinking in ignorance. Is it not your tax money that Tinubu waived for MTN to carry out the road construction just like Dangote and some other companies are doing? What good things has MTN benefited that will warrant spending such money despite ipob/ESN harassment in the past

Buhari waved it, not Tinubu

Easy with the propaganda.

NEPA should continue this good work. I actually love this!

Theflint1:
We all know why you're shouting

Baba dey into the hoarding and reselling sector.

They both have a point sha. We have been down this importing road before, and it always ends in pains

Also, the greed of the locals, inadequate storage measures and other wahala will make local production unattractive

I know you are a good Nigerian citizen and want the best for Nigeria and our farmers. So, when you go to the market and a bag of rice is sold for ₦55,000, pay ₦80,000 for yours and explain your reason that you don't want Nigeria to experience inflation
Thank you.

The salary issue is another level of wickedness from SE Governors that has been going on for years..Ikpeazu left with backlog of salary arrears some were even up to 30months..

It's not like salary payments is done with their personal money..Pay workers ffs..

This using people's NIN to register them as APC members is what I don't understand..Have seen a lot of people complaining about it on Twitter though, everyone should be careful with his/her data this period anyways..

When I newly started working in a bank, I was in the Retail loan team; We usually approve loan application from the branches.

The bank was always willing to give loans to civil servants in NW and NE, than any other region. Their salary is always up to date. But you'll see inconsistencies in the Southern payments.

It's pathetic! How person go work, you no go pay am?

A lot of drivers run to buy synthetic thinking it's going to save them from the cost of changing oils..

An old car is an old car ,regardless of the appellation, Tokunbo ooh / foreign used especially when it's been used for commercial activities( ehailing).
The ideal mileage to change your oil is 2500-3000km. Which is even far less on the dashboard cos most Dashboard is configured in miles..

How do you drive a car for more than 2 month without oil change on ehailing and not expect the oil to shorten?. 20 - 23 year old vehicles.....

Regular oil change is one of the ways to prolong the life of the engine.

Simple as ABC

If you like use Synthetic and Holy Synthetic, the engine is damn old.

Regularly change the oil.

Why is it only Southern Governors that owe all these salaries?

You'll never hear of Northern governors owing salaries

Sportsweb:
Wizkid is the worst artist to fan yet his FC love am well. He no really care about his fan. I agree with you to prove his worth, he could asked FC to follow the new account and trust me within a day that girl fit teach 20-50k followers

Thank you

No matter how his song dey sweet, I can never stan him again if I was an FC.

All he needed to do was bring her back to life. Instead, baba still dey hype himself for night.

The poor girl dey do video with gnashing of teeth.

FC gbakwo oku there!

Sportsweb:
The VDM guy was saying he didn't tell his followers to take down that girls account yet he celebrated it. Same VDM posted a page of one guy odogwukiwi he was having misunderstanding with and asked his ratels to massively report and take down the Instagram account.

He didn't tell them nau.

He gave them the chance to run his value down on SM, they couldn't. Maybe they are just loud with no bite.

Now wey dem don pull her account down, nobody fit even help her.
