shocked



There's no reasonable reason Anambrans returned Soludo back to the government house despite all his pull down syndrome attitude. Soludo has won his reelection bid, and I can tell you for free, he's not backing down. Ask yourself, why didn't he use such brute force in his first term but he's doing that now unapologetically.

The same man that paid homage to Nnamdi Kanu when Nnamdi Kanu was at the DSS, suddenly have a problem now because the Igbos chose to show solidarity to Nnamdi Kanu every Monday due to his undeserved incarceration. Not that they're complaining, they did it with utmost joy and sincerity, but a certain self acclaimed professor want to act politically correct maybe because of future aspiration. I laughedgrin. Peter Obi no see Nigeria presidency, na you go come see, you're day dreaming.

Those people cheering you now, won't waste no time using the picture of you with MNK to play dirty politics with you if you dare aspire. I trust them and for the first time I will join them also to campaign against you.
He did the right thing. Everybody is ending sit-at-home EXCEPT Onitsha main market. Let's deal with it once and for all. When hunger wire them nobody will tell them to open their shops

If he wins, anambra government should ask him to come and take his money on Monday.... So that everytime he goes to claim his money d office would be locked
You're a very wicked person 😂😂😂

Paid in full though he's very powerful and influential and a billionaire in naira already so it's was easier for him to fight the government compare to who has only money and no government backup

But the order is not from any constituted authority. IPOB is proscribed and Kanu is in jail
Oh, only constituted authority can be sued. Who is giving orders for 2nd of February sit at home?

I can give you order to jump in the river. You can't sue me if you go ahead and jump in the river because I'm not constituted authority with enforcement power

Where was the lawyer when IPOB declared every Monday as sit at home. He didn't sue them but when someone is fighting a good course he now says he is suing the government.

Why do they like to lie to themselves like this, Or is telling us that IPOB are powerful than an elected government ni.

Plus people in government probably collected part of the money as bribe in order to pay it without endless appeal

Ndigbos ehn, una be special case.
For 4 years and counting that ippobs have been putting alaiggbo on lockdown every Monday, how many of spoke up/sued ipobb??

Now that you have a sane iggbo son trying to free una from self-imposed bondage, una dey sue am to court.

We’re not at war. This isn’t a situation where you force someone to take up arms and defend their country. You can’t close down a market because traders exempt Monday from their days of work.
Thats a very wrong move by the governor.
We indeed have no law, no right and no freedom whatsoever…

But Nigerians are quick to adapt. If it’s difficult now, instead of finding a permanent solution, we’ll rather adapt to easier alternatives.

If government Close down the market for a week who do you think loses more, the government or the people?
@underlined: has ippobs not been locking these same markets every Monday for the past 4 years??
Ndiggbos sef.

What about the schools closed on Mondays?
Are you not bothered that for the past decade Anambra state's level of education had been diminishing?? Do the maths; 5days learning minus per day learning, how do you think the kids will meet up with school curriculum every week if cut short of one day??
The institutions like the banks don't work on Mondays, why??
One Monday I wanted to do transfer but access app was messing up, I walked to the nearest access bank to report to customer care realizing that it was a sit at home day I got very angry, why sit at home on Mondays for nothing??
Ndi'be anyi, k' anyi nwe ako n'uche for christa sake.
Soludo should have locked the whole market for one month so that our people will have sense for once......for those supporting sit at home on Mondays, the government and the masses are also loosing millions every Monday.
You sound very illogical, Anambra is under seige by unknown gun men, Soludo uses over 20 car escorts, then... He's asking the traders to come out knowing the danger. The Chairman of Ngbuka Market (Spare Parts Market), opened the market, and got killed, what has Soludo done for his family?

I prefer to stay back home, just rest from the weekly hustle. If he wanted to understand the people, he'll simply run a referendum to know what he wants.

They did the right thing. The right thing is to sue. Rather than running around like hooligans shouting "show me the law" à la MNK

So what is your solution? People must be killed for this sort of thing to end.
If someone tells you not to go to work or he'll kill you, what will you do?

The government generates revenue from those markets. Closing them arbitrarily is an act of economic sabotage which can be considered a treasonable felony..

How does the government provide services when a major source of its revenue is being sabotaged by the citizenry?

Precisely.
But if u want use agidi dey claim 'right' dem go show u premium shege!

No problem stay at home, olodo.

I am not a soludo fan but his non kinetic approach to these mischief by anambrarians is paying out. firstly he arrested and locked up all those criminal native doctors and kidnaping suddenly declined drastically. now he locked up the main market, since the traders love Nnamdi kanu who asked them to stop the sit at home more than themselves, they should stay at home and protest forever...
