Spirits responsible for theft — Market guards


YENAGOA—HUNDREDS of Igbo market traders at the Swali Ultra-Modern Market in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, yesterday, shut their businesses in protest of burglary of their shops by hoodlums.

The traders, who also protested the detention of their leaders by security operatives, threatened to shut down their businesses until their leaders are released or charged to court.

Addressing newsmen at the Swali Ultra-Modern Market yesterday, Secretary of Igbo Traders Union, Jude Osigwe, lamented that most of the traders have lost millions of Naira in cash and goods to hoodlums in the past months. Osigwe said: “In the past eight months, some armed hoodlums have been coming to our shops to extort us and when we reported the matter to the Police, they told us that there is nothing they can do. “When we reported to the market management, they promised to look into the matter. “Only recently, when we came to open our shops in the morning, we observed that our shops have been burgled and cash and goods carted away. “The security men we pay monthly to secure our shops told us it is spirits that are responsible for the theft and in the past three months, over 70 shops have been burgled and goods and cash carted away.
“As Igbo and the majority traders in the market, we are the most affected. Our traders association leaders have been arrested over some allegations and if our leaders are arrested, all of us are arrested and we cannot be trading when our leaders are in detention.”

Ohaneze Ndigbo reacts

Reacting, President of the South-South Youth Wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Arthur Chinedu, while demanding the immediate release of the leaders of Igbo traders in Bayelsa State, said the state will experience a total shut down of businesses by Igbo traders. He said: “We are begging for the release of Igbo traders’ leaders in Bayelsa State. The people arrested are the eyes of Igbo people in the business sector and without doing that, Bayelsa State will experience a total shut down of market and businesses in the entire state.”

The spokesperson of the Bayelsa State Police Command, Asinim Butswatt, could not be reached for comments.

Bidding for infrastructural contracts in each state is traditionally open to anybody but selectively given to indigenes of the state. This is the practice everywhere in Nigeria. The winning contractor has obligation to deliver the infrastructure to the satisfaction of the awarding principal, whether Local, State or Federral governm ent.

In East, contractors do a very minimum and cut edges, believing that the structure will soon start to degrade and show signs of failure, which then necessitates maintenance to avoid its complete collapse. The govt awards a maintenance contract which is continous and becomes a cash cow contract that is renewed every year, or under each administration. The maintenance itself is poor. So gradually infrastructures weaken and collapse or become a threat to life. This is what happened with Akanu Ibiam Airport. Ibos are their own enemies.

Imagine if they had attended to the renovation of this airport with dilligence and sense of ownership when the contract was first awarded by Stella Oduah as Aviation Minister....the story of the airport would be different today.

But you hear them now blaming FG for marginalizing Ibo.

The airport is just one out of many such examples. You probably have seen when deomelo post pictures of their supposedly a "suspension bridge" in Anambra. You see maintenance contractors on ladder applying plaster to fix a widening crack in the concrete, and you wonder if Anambra has any sense of responsibility to the lives of citizens that use that bridge daily.

Since they want to cover the deficiencies in their region we must join hands and help them cover it up. grin

Buhari and APC are synonymous in doing the right thing the wrong way.

And it will backfire. Until they restructure all this is just going to cause more tension in the polity.

The sad part about this is that these thieving governors are fighting against this because if will block them from stealing and wittle their power because if this is implemented the lg chairmen will have a lot of influence when it comes to elections especially if the lg chairman did well in his lg and is not in support of the gov.

Naija can tire person.

You not entirely correct.
More pictures are coming.
Pictures of the ghetto parts of Obollo-Afor.
Obollo-Afor is a town, not some hamlet somewhere in the innards of Enugu State.
She deserves the same attention given to Enugu City and other urban hubs in the State.
What is happening at Mbu and Eha-Alumona should not in any way make the current decay of infrastructure in Obollo-Afor acceptable.
You appear to be desperately pushing some false logic, namely; that Obollo-Afor should stay as it is because Mbu and elsewhere are in need!


This thread is about Obollo-Afor, not about Mbu and Eha-Ndiagu.
Mind you, my father owns properties at Umuarima Eha-Ndiagu, and Nzuteigbo! I can't remember the last time I visited there. The roads are long gone to the worst form of gully erosion.
Those places are among the forgotten parts of Enugu State that rightly deserve serious attention from government.
Perhaps a new thread will have to be created by you for that.
For now, this thread is about Obollo-Afor!
If the plight of Mbu and Eha touches you, create awareness about it. Create a thread here. Post pictures, and let the world see the neglect and crude marginalization going on.
Is that clear?

Not all the Yoruba is supporting them but mostly Yoruba muslims, in the past they even fought along side Fulani Jihadist that is trying to overrun Osogbo but the Fulanis was beating back to Ilorin by gallant native Yorubas. That is the reason why they still have Oni of Ife today if not Yoruba muslims would have sold Osogbo out tete.

In the mean, killer herdsmen are daily invading southern Nigeria, killing and kidnapping people, many are yet to be aware about this. This is how bokoharam started and now seems the herdsmen are determined to be the new menace. So, you won't be surprised when some things start to happen soon.

It was actually a few months ago. January 25, 2019

Stop lying.

What's tribe got to do with it? Is tribe the reason why roads are fixed or not fixed?

Pr0cter:
I always wonder what's the difference between a Japanese car and a German car because it seems both country produce the same type of cars and model.


Someone with an answer should be quote me.

You guys are 'story tellers', I swear. What an Igbo General can not achieve in 7 months, because of timidity, was achieved effortlessly, in a day, by an Hausa-Fulani Lt. Colonel. Shame on you guys with your stew*pid story lines!

The industries in the SE are not few but there would have been much more if the SE did not have the worst infrastructure in Nigeria. Worst roads, undeveloped ports and bad power. Infrastructure is one of the main determinants of the location of industries
