Thundafireseun:
Everything is not brute force

Customers won’t even come out to buy anything on Mondays ….

Police protection is not enough to protect both the customers and the sellers… that is the bitter truth

Where's Jmoore the nairaland Chairman of this market union that was running his mouth carelessly. You were scared someone will call you out abi? Soludo has shamed you all.

There are two governors in the SE that know you all like they know their names: Soludo and Uzodinma!

Jmoore If you like don't go and open your shop, when you return, a quit notice will be waiting you by next week.

The people that make you cower under your beds have been incarcerated, so why the fear fear?

jmoore:
Is that how busy Onitsha market is other days?

Most of you guys that have never crossed River Niger go open mouth waaaa.

IkeOnyia:
Go main market now and post pictures if shame will let you. Soludo has defeated you all.

sonofsteven:
This is false.....

The market is locked, I have shop there and none came out

Even the market chairman resigned early hours of today

Switruth:
does that place look like an opened market. Customers won't even dare to come.

BILLSMAN:
Is the market open or not?
Who is talking about customers coming out? Is onitsha main market open or not? Is there any suppose sit at home protest schedule today going on or not?
Accept the bitter truth, fighting government is like swimming against the tide in a fast current ocean, the experience and lessons learnt will be long lasting.

OnionBandit:
So what would you have the governor do? fold his arms and watch illiterate terrorists ruin the economy of the state ? you are most likely in Lagos, the reason you don't care about what your people are going through back home

Jcoleworld911:
Bros, which of the Awka are you talking about??
Even onitsha main market is full now

MEGAWATCH:
You can force the horse to the river but you can never force it to drink water from the river.

Just like you have made Tinubu the president, but his supporters are still very very hungry and cursing and abusing him in their houses, while preparing to vote him again.


This life self....


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

jamafa:
We say how your people were eating Gala+Malt during the last presidential election

Rebelutionary:
Open is all Soludo asked! If you like open and go home and sleep...e no concern Soludo

By next Monday, the the last of the fear fear among them will show up and with them will come the customers!

Ignore that one quoting you up and down, shame won't let him admit the reality that stares him in the face that government is not anybody's mate if they want to work!

BILLSMAN:
Their matter weak me Sir...
Governor say reopen on Monday and the market is open now instead to accept defeat they say customers won't come out. Ofcourse the customers were waiting to see who's the strongest between the Government and all the (Emma powerless) factional groups and now they've seen.

On February 2, 2026, Onitsha Main Market — one of Nigeria's biggest commercial hubs — officially reopened its gates after a one-week temporary shutdown ordered by Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo.

The closure came as punishment for traders' continued observance of Monday "sit-at-home" orders (linked to regional security and IPOB issues), costing the state billions in lost revenue weekly. Governor Soludo had warned of stricter measures if markets stayed shut on Mondays, but today marks a return to normalcy — with security assurances from the state.

In this exclusive morning footage:
Traders and shoppers gradually returning to shops and stalls

Busy walkways with people carrying goods and opening up for business

Signs of life in the usually packed market sections
Some areas still quieter than usual, showing hesitation from fear or uncertainty
Is this a big win for Soludo against sit-at-home enforcers, or just partial compliance?
