If you know the global supply chain that has been disrupted by this market closure you will be angry with both the traders and the Governor.

Again , what exactly is the Monday sit at home meant to achieve?

My secret fear is that Asaba will be the final beneficiary of this leadership failure

No leadership failure in Anabala
It’s the right thing to do
Monday must be opened for business here. Not everybody is a fan of the terrorist Namdi Cownu

Asaba has always been the big beneficiary of the leadership failure in Anambra, a good example is the booming real estate in Asaba

Other markets in Onitsha are open and bubbling with activities. Only Main market is shutdown till next Monday when the Governor will visit again to see the level of sabotage and then decide whether to reopen it or extend the traders' holiday.

Those other markets are still owned by the traders at onitsha market...it's called back up plan...the Igbos used it during the civil war.

And hasn't he made them rescind their initial position? Soludo fits them...since you want to sit at home on Monday and eat ofe nsala, let's eat it for a whole week.

By February they will all behave themselves when it gets opened or he locks it up for a month and all their noise like yours ends on social media!

Who changed their position?
I pity folks who rely on news only. Chairman of a market is different from traders. I am pretty sure you didn't read the content of the news very well.
Monday is not far away.

Ask that woman, if the Chinese government would have tolerated any sit-at-home n0nsense, if it were to happen in China?

Soludo is 💯 right on this. Since the traders want to sit at home,.they can as well do sit at home from Monday to Sunday 😎

Asaba doesn't do sit at home. Why will the traders want to go there and not observe monday sit at home but insist on observing it in Onitsha?

Have you forgotten the monday sit at home is out of fear for their lives as they had been threatened by all manner of scallywags and rogues under the guise of MASSOB and BIAFRA?

The Monday sit -at-home were forced down to people. A number of people have been killed at the initial stage, that's brought markekers to start observing the sit@home. A governor can not just come up and directed people to resume business activities without any security measures put in place. Both Onitsha and Asaba will still strife hand in hand... Onitsha will still remains business hub of the east, Asaba can as well come on on it own, but can not compete with Onitsha.

Only a matter of time.

He is not right, he is using his power as the governor ridiculously. I heard that he's going to close any private school that did not operate on Mondays. I wonder what he will do to the parents/guardians who will refuse to allow their kids to attend school on Mondays. More dramas coming... I pity the state government.

Now if Asaba becomes the final beneficiary then Asaba wins and becomes one of the biggest trading hubs in Africa , the next big thing after Dubai and Onitsha. This will not diminish the previous role for Onitsha but compliments it . It is still a win-win for igbos.

Already a big urbanization is forming from Asaba , down to Onitsha, Oba,Ozubulu, okijs,Mgbidi/ihiala Axis, owerri , ngor okpala down to Aba

In the next 10 to 20 years ,the 2 twin cities of Asaba and onitsha depending on Government policies will likely merge creating the biggest trading and business metropolis and mega city in Africa. Up until then , let the cities keep twinning and complimenting each other.

Charlie Nwa Ngbafor, popularly known as Professor "Solution By Fire By Force", has threatened to demolish a market that predates even his great-grandfather. This is not just any market; it is the largest commodity market in West Africa, the beating heart of Igbo commerce, and a historic symbol of enterprise, resilience, and self-reliance.

A market that fed generations.
A market that built cities.
A market that carried the economic dreams of Ndigbo across Nigeria and beyond.

The idea that such a heritage can be erased overnight - allegedly to curry favoured from the Caliphate or score political points - raises serious questions about leadership, priorities, and respect for history.

You do not destroy the soul of a people and expect applause.

Markets like this are not mere structures; they are living institutions. They represent sweat, struggle, innovation, and survival against all odds. Any attempt to silence or dismantle that legacy is an attack on the collective memory and economic lifeline of the people.

Let it be clearly stated:
Any move to carry out this threat will be firmly resisted through lawful, united, and legitimate means. Ndigbo have always stood for dialogue, justice, and progress - but never for erasure, humiliation, or economic strangulation.
History will remember who built and who tried to destroy.

#IgboCommerce
#IgboHeritage
#IgboEconomicPower

His planning to shift Onitsha market to Asaba very soon. If he continues with his I can't take anymore advice, south East will lose one of the man made institution in the region to Asaba, which is prayers of other tribes. Whenever there's leader that regard outsiders more than the people he rules the kingdom lost.

Asaba is building an International Market , if the disruption continues in Onitsha , smart traders will move to Asaba, people come from Agbor , Benin, Owerri, PH , Aba , Uyo , Enugu, Abuja Lagos , i have seen People from Ondo and Ibadan coming to Onitsha for business , if these continues they will shift base to Asaba, Asaba does not do Sit at home and will not allow it . The Governor can stop it without shutting down the Market for a week.

Already our real estate developers are already in Asaba building the Next generation real estates , Thanks to the hostility from other cities.

This shutdown is a real time bomb

The Governor has tried SEVERALLY to stop the sit at home without shutting down the market.

So,go right ahead and suggest how he's going to achieve it without the current measures.

Whoever claimed that no security measures has been in place in Anambra is lying to himself.

Anambra State TODAY is the safest it has ever been for the past 5 years of IPOB insanity.

During December people came home in droves to villages and towns which were no go areas before now and nothing happened.

Stopping the sit at home non sense is the next logical chapter in the Government's fight against insecurity.

It will take a converted effort to build a modern market in the new part of Onitsha .

Onitsha market is long overdue for a remake , remodeling, rebranding, modernization and remodeling. The problem seems to be an old wine in an old win skin. Talk of using windows 3.1 in 2026.

You can't be in the old market and have a futuristic mindset.

The Governor for sure under a lot of pressure to perform and be rated wellas a southeasttop perfomer , but he should do things the right way

Delta Igbos don't see themselves as core Igbos. I know some would protest.

Do you know parts of Lagos were under the Benin empire centuries ago. Though Yoruba speaking, their loyalty is the Benin.

When the Ooni of Ife was in Lagos for a meeting some years back and the Oba of Lagos present, the latter gave him a rather cold handshake while sitting and the Ooni standing up. It showed where his loyalty lay.

Yes, these are Yoruba speaking people claiming they are descended from the Benin Empire and Yorubas are fine with it.

Say what you know.

You've stated that you haven't been to anywhere East of the Niger. So, how did you know that Delta Igbos don't see themselves as "core Igbos"? Who are "core Igbos"?
