Instead of him to address the underlying issue, he is busy using people’s lives for his own political gains. If people go out on Monday and IPOB holds them on the road, who will come to their rescue? Soludo should calm down.

That means IPOB are criminals 😂

Many have said that there is no insecurity in the East and that it's outsiders that are spreading a false story about insecurity in order to give the East a bad name.

So why are some people now talking about security if this is true.

If what they have been saying all this while is true then there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

It's quite funny how someone can sit afar off and begin to postulate. What ever pockets of violence that exist before now in parts of the east is mostly external influences from non-stste actors and pro-government forces.
However, this is not the right way to reassure you citizens, soludo

EponObi:
"The main point is which parent will risk taking his or her child to school on Monday?"

You failed to tell us why pupils leaving their homes to school on Monday in your region might likely end up dead.

You people lack introspection.

All over the world, all over the other regions in Nigeria, children leave home to school like it's nothing. In fact, if you see a child playing around on Monday, you are forced to ask why he or she is not in school. It's like a taboo.

It's the other way around in your region.

You see children going to school on Monday, and you are forced to ask if they have parents or guardians or if they have death wishes. Why is this?

You have a governor who is saying enough of that nonsense. He's stamping his foot on the ground to correct this abomination but you are all here hiding behind your keyboards in the safety of Lagos to call him a mad professor. It's well.

This is an issue Obi should add his voice to and tell his people to listen to reason. But he won't because it's not happening in Lagos or other regions in Nigeria. Again, it's well.

You want to build Nigeria, you say you will prioritize education, you say you will move Nigeria from consumption to production, you cry about out of school children, you lament every market day that poverty is ravaging lives of Nigerians; however, in your region, your people don't go to work on Monday, government offices are closed, banks are closed, children are out of school, people die just for going outside, there's zero economic activities on the most important business day in the he world. Mr. Bob the builder, It's well.

A few Igbo guys are quoting me saying I am blaming the victim and that the Governor can't secure them. You guys are not ready. When you are, you will speak up with one voice against the oppression of IPOB and support your governor. You support IPOB and their oppression but protest against the governor trying to stop your oppressor. You never ready.

This is not how to resolve these issues. You first of all dialogue with your citizens, get their views and feel their pulse. They from what ever fears they have, you try as much as possible to allay their fears.
Strengthen local security by deployment of armed security men in strategic position so that the people can see that there are intervention forces that can come to their rescue. This approach can never end well for soludo. He will end up eroding the few good will that he has

Soludo is doing a great job, those people will wise by force.

jmoore:
See ezigbote babablu. You shutdown the market from Tuesday to Saturday. It's the poor ones who live hand to mouth that you are punishing. The big men can survive months without opening their shops.

How can a professor suggest that the solution to quench fire is by pouring petrol.

Oga shut up and atop supporting nonsense, Soludo is doing a great job.

EmekaBlue:
Mr shutting down wan fight IPOB ideology by force maybe to impress Nigeria presido for something bigger than Governor next

How did he wants to impress the president for something bigger?

He is in his second tenure . The president wants re-election too.

jmoore:
No 1: Stop writing lengthy replies cos even if it's a novel, it will still not make sense.

No 2: Are the terrorists the same people as traders? You see how you dey babablu again. You are comparing bandits/terrorists with traders doing their legitimate business

Yes, tribalism has beclouded your reasoning to be writing nonsense.

Soludo should go after the terrorists and leave traders alone.

A load of self-delusional rubbish. Goodluck to you guys. This IPOB brouhaha is not the first time, in the history of Nigeria, you have self-harmed seriously as an ethnic group and it won't be the last.

That is because self-harming seriously will always be the fate of those who don't think before they act and then refuse to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions, let alone learn lessons from it, once the worst has happened.

Such people then move on to making excuses and blaming others for the serious mess they have gotten themselves into.

We've seen it before with you guys and always will.

They claimed the South East is peaceful and insisted that reports of insecurity are just exaggerations by outsiders, even blaming the so-called Lagos–Ibadan media. If the region is truly peaceful as they say, then they should fully support Governor Soludo in ending the Monday sit-at-home. Yet the same people still say they can’t open their businesses on Mondays because of unknown gunmen. This contradiction exposes clear hypocrisy.

After 4yrs u still no fit control your state

Provide security first

What is the meaning of this nonsense and what has it got to do with my post??

God bless you. Those who are not genuinely peaceful, responsible, tolerant, upright and moderate in outlook cannot continue fooling the world forever that those things are what they are and that the problem lies with others.

This development is an example with how they have always played victim to insist every insecurity in the SE is perpetrated by "Fulani DSS" and never IPOB or Igbos.

Soludo now demand sit-at-home must end. What would be more natural than for the entire SE to get behind him, since they claim IPOB are reasonable and "peaceful" agitators", removing what is a socio-economic malaise to the SE?

Instead they begin making excuses for IPOB retention of sit-at-home and blacklisting Soludo for doing the right thing they should all be supporting if 'calibrated' right.

Same people always attack FG for not crushing terrorist and bandits yet they make excuses when Soludo wants to deploy tough measures, as he is right to do, to end the illegal instruction of IPOB that should never have become virtually akin to Government law in the SE.

Just show the truth will be revealed in the end particularly regarding those who deliberately and wilfully cause their own misery to be deceitfully pointing fingers of blame at others.

EmekaBlue:

this sit at home can be stopped in phases. For example start with 1 LGA by deploying soldiers Air Force, police there to ensure everyone resume work on Monday with total security 24/7 then after some weeks or months of adaptation they move to another LGA. I believe the useless air at home that is killing that State economy will end

WizardOfNG:
You are the one fully deserving of the shade you throw at Soludo, with the bolded, because you don't understand that everything must be done to abolish this evil IPOB has now made a culture of the SE.
No different to how Boko Haram etc want to enforce the proscription of "Western education" so it is replaced by Islamic teaching alone.


The shame is that other leaders and Governors , including that irresponsible charlatan Obi, remain watching silently rather than rise up alongside Soludo to show IPOB that elected and constituted authority, with the official mandate of the people, remain ready to put an end to this aberration.

It is until SE becomes like the North you lot then start touting conspiracies and looking for who to blame for your own self-inflicted ruination.

I have been watching the whole thing, noting how Soludo appears to be fighting a losing battle while most Igbos seem to tacitly endorse the actions of IPOB against a duly elected Governor, to understand you guys are something else.

Yet you still have time and energy to be focusing on attacking Yorubas and others daily while backing a senseless practice, put in place by unelected and self-styled leaders who are cultists killers and thug, that only does socio-economic damage to the SE.

U as well do not reason well.
If the people that staying in Anambra are complaining about insecurity who are u to say other wise.

What is the effort Soludo have made os far to stop this insecurity.?

Talking about Peter Obi does Solido has any regards for Obi. Or u think Obi should run to him and say sir I have a solution to the problem of the state.
When Obi was the governor of Anambra didn't he face challenges with bad guys? How did he over come it? Where was Soludo ?

It's pathetic that any comment that's not positive about the IPOB terrorist group is banned while others are allowed to talk about other terrorist groups.
Plain bias and discrimination.
Seun, why do you allow such open discrimination?

By Nigerian laws IPOB is a terrorist organization. Anyone can say whatever they want, it's irrelevant to Nigerians laws.

This man has very bad advisers. He is just creating enemies for himself everywhere. He will go down as the second worse governor after Mbadinuju.
People have a right to protest. That sit at home is their own form of protest though I may not agree with it. They still have a right to and it's a form of civil disobedience to the oppression they feel they have been subjected to by the Nigerian state.
You did not buy the shops for them neither do you run the business for them. He is only concerned that the money he is supposed to be making from them is not coming through on Mondays.
If the people take him to court they will win hands down. People have a right to protest situations that doesn't favor them and no dumb government can take that away from them.
The people are citizens and not slaves Mr professor. Will you guarantee their security if they come out on Mondays? It's easy for him to talk because he goes around with armies of security agents. The people don't have such privileges. Human lives first before business.

The wise and wealthy ones among your people have Japa out of that backward region to mostly the south west.

Soon, we would chase you back to go and fix your region.

Keep supporting n©nsens£.

Embrace the truth and make amend.

The safest place from the back

danvon:
A governor cannot solve insecurity without the support of the people.

When the people give tacit support to criminality there's nothing the governor can do.

So na people dey hold Tinibu to solve Nigeria's insecurity issue?

Abeg how should the people give tacit support to criminality in Anambra State?

GorillaApp:

Yet you were eager to quote me. 🤣

Kai!

He has nothing sensible to contribute and instead of keeping mute, he quoted me with an emotional and meaningless word salad.

Talking about, "from afar off" and other such crap.

I should save myself from reading more crap from him by blocking him.

okay you make a point ... Why don't you have a state of assembly call for a joint hearing or something. Igbos have always had a way to dialogue their differences since time in memorial, I wonder what is causing this sudden bad energy amongst themselves.

I really think I should not dignify you anymore with a mention.

GorillaApp mentioned me anyway, but it was a waste of time, I've blocked him.

This is like the removal of fuel subsidy without providing palliative relief like Tinubu did! Without provision of adequate security and transport services how is the typical student to get to school without being in danger of death?

Seconded with a crate of Heineken beer.

Governor Soludo's closure of Onitsha Main Market

1) Every sensible person knows that Nnamdi Kanu began the practice of declaring sit at home protests. He usually threatened to declare sit-at-home protests on elections days (though he often made U-turns when politicians approached him). There were also sit-at-home protests to mark specific dates that were significant during the Civil War.

2) Every sensible person also knows that Kanu and his faction of Ipob abandoned the sit-at-home protests after he was detained. They were seeking a political solution to his detention and staging sit-at-home protests would make things difficult for him.

3) Every sensible person knows that Simon Ekpa and his autopiloters hijacked the protest. Armed autopiloters usually staged violent raids on Sundays in order to frighten people and prevent them from coming out on Mondays. I created a lot of threads about these raids and Ekpa often boasted about it.

4) Everybody knows that Ekpa held unending fund raising campaigns in order to raise money to finance the attacks.

5) Everybody also knows that the violence drastically reduced after Ekpa was arrested.

6) The violence reduced for 3 main reasons (A) Ekpa was in jail and so could no longer finance the terrorists. (B) The new leadership of the Autopiloters decided to focus on hiring lobyists to help them get American politicians on their side. It would look bad if they were meeting with American politicians and also financing terrorists.

7) The people on those threads cannot say anything meaningful and their little attempt to make sense is turned into nonsense by the next thing that I will write.

8 ) Nigerians governments, both at the federal and state levels, have done a lot to end the violence in the East. Governor Soludo did not just wake up and close Onitsha Main Market as his first step in solving the problem. Quite a lot of things have been done to solve the issue.

9) The Nigerian Federal Government put a lot of pressure on Finland to solve the problem of Simon Ekpa and he was eventually tried and jailed. Troops were also deployed to deal with the terrorists in the forests.

10) Governor Soludo met with Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS cell in Abuja in order to get him to end the protest. Kanu told the governor that he had nothing to do with the protest. Days afterwards, when his lawyers visited him, Nnamdi Kanu gave them instructions that they should make a press statement that he had disowned the sit-at-home protest and that he was against vilolence.

11) Governor Soludo also met with traders, unions, the clergy, politicians, etc in order to end the violence and sit-at-home protest. They even held a Holy Mass to signify the end of the sit-at-home protest.

12) Governor Soludo has donated a lot of equipment to the police, military and other security agencies in order to help them tackle the problem. The last round of donations was just a few days ago.

13) In fact, the Anambra State Government went as far as creating its own security outfit called Udo Ga-achi

14) These measures have worked. Previously I made threads about Autopilot attacks almost every week. Nowadays we rarely hear about attacks. People now use Mondays to hold weddings and other parties. As the governor said, he passed other markets on his way to Onitsha and they were open.

15) The fact is that there are Ipob and Autopilot sympathisers that do not want the sit-at-home protest to end. I have told you about all the measures that government has taken to end the violence and protest, these people have launched massive propaganda against all of them.

16) They said that Autopilot attacks were being done by Fulani herdsmen and all sorts of people, they said that Simon Ekpa was sponsored by Bola Tinubu, they said that Nigerian Army was massacring innocent people, they said that Simon Ekpa had not been arrested, they claimed that Udo Ga-achi was killing innocent people, there is nothing that they did not say.

17) Now the story is that Soludo has not done anything to provide security, that he is wicked, that he didn't consult anyone, etc. The simple truth is that they do not want the sit-at-home to end.

It gives them something to complain about.

As I said, many of them are Ipob and Autopilot supporters and they'll never want it to end.

Meanwhile the government constructed that market so that economic activities will take place. It generates revenue from the economic activities that take place there. It is a market, anyone that does not want to use it to trade and raise revenue for the government should be removed and replaced with someone that's ready to trade.

Throwback:
Soludo is the kind of strong commonsense leader that is needed in Igboland.

Have you checked to know why indirect rule by the British worked in all parts of Nigeria (except in the southeast It's because of none elitist way of government there, in other words,. The people leads here.

People close shops for only a day but Soludo close it for 7 good days.....
