That’s very good!

The only problem is that, it’s a weekend. It should have been done during the working days. Probably Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Aba too carry this sit at home for their heads. In Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi, Enugu and Owerri, there was movement as usual.

I think that needs to be corrected. As we all know, whenever a celebration falls on a weekend, the public holiday is shifted to the next working day. By that logic, the sit-at-home should be moved to Tuesday, since Mondays have already been permanently reserved for the regular sit-at-home exercise.

Biafra has always meant death.

So why won't it be a ghost town
Re: Biafra Day: Aba Turns Into Ghost Town As People Sit At Home by ChizzyBuna(m):
It was sn honour to the resilient people that fought against a blood thirsty north Nigerian Army in 1967

The war was a genocide on the Igbo people
They wanted to wipe out kids. Children and women. It was not a war.

War is when soldiers fight each other
Genocide is when you leave soldiers and start killing ordinary common civilians..

A War journalist Fredrick Forsyth recounts when he and Biafra soldiers were patrolling Onitsha when they came across 300 piles of dead bodies of members of Apostolic church layed on the road.
He said the Biafran soldiers were so overwhelmed at the sight that it took only him and 2 brave soldiers to lift the bodies from morning and they finished in evening
He said the victims were Apostolic church members that when they came into the church the ordered everyone out women children boys with hands tied to their back and shot them💥💥 close range execution.
About 300 people
There were so many war crimes going on
That is when Biafrain soldiers realized these northern army was busy wiping out civilian population than to fave them one and one.

The Nigerian Air force which was controlled by Egyptian pilots would avoid areas that had Biafran soldiers with machine gun. For fear of getting shot down.
So what they sis instead was to drop bombs in churches, hospitals or halls were there were crowds of civilians gathered for shelter.

It was nothing but genocide

Biafran soldier had low ammunition, rusty guns, hand made guns.
Biafrain soldiers had a song they sing

" If I die in battle
Give my gun to the next Igbo man
Give my uniform to the next Igbo man
Give my boots to the next Igbo man
To protect our land with our lives.
That is to show you they had low uniforms and where given uniform and guns of their fellow dead soldiers to continue the fight.

Due to low ammunition, Biafriqns had a rule called "One Bullet One Soldier"
Meaning if you must shoot , that bullet must kill the soldier or else you wasted bullet given to you. Imagine running out of bullets.

Meanwhile UK loaded the Nigerian Army with so much ammunition to last a life time.

UPON ALL ODDS AGAINST THEM
THEY HELD THE NIGERIAN ARMY FOR 3 YRS

How on earth the Igbos were able to pull that of was something out of a miracle.

masterfactor:
Another made up story to get a dopamine rush
Hear it from the man himself
Mr Fredrick Forsyth
Shey you will say this one too na A.I??

Re: Biafra Day: Aba Turns Into Ghost Town As People Sit At Home by Counterigbolies: 9:43pm On May 30
Many people from here don't care about this n how it affects people but they all care about oyo all of a sudden

Ijele have made a million videos of how people aren't happy about this and it affect their everyday life but people from their don't care since it's not oyo or Lagos or Ibadan.


Hospitals and other emergency services won't open today and they really don't care, let it happen for 5 minutes in Lagos and people from here will want to turn the world upside down

The hypocrisy is too loud

Re: Biafra Day: Aba Turns Into Ghost Town As People Sit At Home by PigTormentor: 9:46pm On May 30
Let's hope that the keep sitting at home. Less people will be arrested in India for drug trafficking. And other crimes will also reduce. Well done. These are the people voting for Obi.
Don't let them deceive you.

Re: Biafra Day: Aba Turns Into Ghost Town As People Sit At Home by Counterigbolies: 9:46pm On May 30
People from these place don't care, u can lock them inside for 50 years...it's not their problem but nothing must happen in Lagos or Ibadan n u will see children from this place crying more than the bereaved


Then u will start wondering if they ain't from here, a million thread have been opened about the oyo incident by people from here but they don't care if everyone is killed in their place.

Obi, ezekwesilly will not say anything now, but ordinary 2 hours environmental sanitation in Lagos they will start roaring like lions

They haven't gotten their country yet but the oppression and bukkuikg of the people has already started
Re: Biafra Day: Aba Turns Into Ghost Town As People Sit At Home by Usmanovic95(m): 9:50pm On May 30
The people know their fxckn governors can't protect them. Taking a day off won't kill them. We have useless set of leaders in this country, they can't stabilize the economy and still can't guarantee safety of lives and properties, so what the hell is their essence?

tinubu the current president can't control fulanis from beheading your brothers and fathers but an empty street is what you are worried about.
Re: Biafra Day: Aba Turns Into Ghost Town As People Sit At Home by flokii: 9:50pm On May 30
We need restructuring ASAP.. these ones are doing sit at home because they know money they didn't work for would be shared for them every month.. check their IGR and see the nonsense this country is breeding.

keep quiet there

Was obi the president when he was condemning ordinary 2 hours environmental sanitation in Lagos?

Obi can condemn 2 hours sanitation in Lagos but can't condemn full day forceful sit at home in his place

U people are really hypocrite
Re: Biafra Day: Aba Turns Into Ghost Town As People Sit At Home by TheStoriesOfMan: 9:53pm On May 30
For those who care to understand today's importance, May 30 is an important day in the life of a Biafran.

The day we celebrate freedom, identity, brotherhood and progress. May 30 2026 is on a Saturday, so weekend jollification and enjoyment.

Ndiigbo, keep winning!

As a minister of interior, you can do that to the people in your region.

You should have shifted Ojude Ọbá to Sunday, since you know how to talk.

Why should obi control it? What's wrong in setting aside a day to remember ur people that were unjustly massacred in a genocidal war of attrition? In a sane country a day in a year would have since been officially recognised to remember them for national healing just like it's done in other sane civilised countries like isreal.
