This right here is the reason why you never built any republic or kingdom of repute. Soludo is your Government head and your Governor. One broomstick cannot sweep the floor. Soludo is the one appointed by God to tie all the wailing wayward willing and unwilling broom sticks together so that the floor can be swept clean and effectively for the benefit of all No matter how mightily a broomstick beats it's chest and makes mouth it is nothing without the other broom sticks and all of them cannot sweep anything unless they are tied together and used in the right direction Government is from God Almighty And Heaven is Governed by God Almighty |

If they try it again, Gov. Charles Soludo should demolish the market. If they can't try it in Abia home State of MNK, why Anambra? And PO will not say anything against the illegality being committed in his homeland except to be roaming around. |

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. |

Onitsha Main market traders are currently protesting and today's protest will be day four. This meeting is inconsequential. Soludo is trying to prove a political point and he will fail shamefully. |

If they like let them continue with sit at home or not, Nnamdi Kanu will likely die in federal prison under the watch of Sultan of Sokoto. |

The market leaders requested a visible and sustained security presence in markets, full operation of motor parks to facilitate the movement of buyers and goods, and decisive action against individuals who benefit from or enforce the sit-at-home order. They appealed for enhanced security to guarantee the safety of lives and property. Military convoys do stop because of highway armed robbers 🤣😅😂🤷🏿 |

Armaggedon:The protest is inconsequential. The market remains locked till Monday. And if they refuse to open their shops on Monday, another closure for a longer period. Those protesting are not even the real shop owners. They are the umu boi, street urchins and nde oso ahia who own no shops. They are largely uneducated and members of IPOB. The real shop owners are the ones in the meeting with the Governor. |
