As a non-believer in this hogwash agenda called BIAFRA, I want to equivocally say I didn't loose One Kobo as an Ibo that Wednesday.

Thank God you are not an IGBO man.I am a full blooded IGBO man, an old boy of GSSO, and I support Biafra.

Who are these jokers fooling?

That is not even a reputable media. Plus no where in the article did they state how they measured how much was lost. Then in the same article, they said 40 million was lost in the East, then they where saying 10 million Naira was lost in Onitsha, a whole big Onitsha, just 10 million, that is just 50,000 dollars. Lol. Too much inconsistencies in the article

Cooly100:
Look at this one...You will come out now claiming you are intelligent.

If the northern cow dealers killed 1000 cow a day in the region before the sit at home...they would kill about 100 on that day.

Do you know how much they have lost?

Always reason with your head and not with your heart...

How does the revenue affect nigeria?it affects your state and local governments only.

I keep advising them no need to put ourself in Vulnerable position where Buhari's python dancing soldiers go come dey kill us like foul..24 hours sit out in one part of the country and the country loses billions..Imagine when we all, all Igbo business men in Lagos Kano Abuja Kaduna Jos etc join...for one day...for a week!!!!! This country will be shut down!!!! No need for violence and agression. Just use what you got.

Lol, keep believing this fake news full of inconsistencies

I want to use this medium to congratulate IPOB for a very successful sit at home order. 2018 sit at home is the most successful sit at home order IPOB ever organized. If 2017 sit at home order was 85 percent successful, I can confidently say 2019 order was 96 percent successful!
With these successes, IPOB has not only shamed the real terrorists in Aso Rock, but also showed that they are the true representatives of Biafrans despite the erroneous "terrorist tag" by buhari's destructive govt to silent the movement for freedom.
Congrates IPOB worldwide!
Long live Freedom lovers!!

May ur days be long,i stand with IPOD,ALL HAIL BIAFRA.

Allsouls:
This is to show that Biafrans are determine to get Biafra and also to prove that we can forfeit our business or money for the sake of freedom.

Even some abokis and afonjas was disappointed as market didn't open for them to buy what they want

Belong to Biafran masses

don't mind them, how I wish ipob can declare sit at home for a month to shame Nigeria govt

"If i'm sleeping and wake up to hear Yorubas beating the drum of war, i'll go back to sleep" (IBB 1993)

Lol, since I heard of OSO ABIOLA the name igbos gives the anger of yorubas in 1993. I don't take yamiri serious in any thing

Onumara Onyekachi Divyne:
OSO ABIOLA, TWENTY YEARS ON...
I was sitting down on the red rugged floor of my uncle's sitting room on an eerily quiet late August evening. It was in our family house in a rural farming community in Oguta. I was barely nine, but I could remember it clearly like it was last week. I was trying to replicate some funny cartoon characters, Silent Giggles, from old editions of The Sunday Champion Newspaper. I loved drawing, especially cartoons, even till this day.
My uncle was a columnist for The Champion; he wrote The Sunday Sermon. He was a clergyman, and also a banker with the UBA. He was my role model; I wanted nothing else than to be a banker like him. He was a brilliant youngman with a young family. He was perfect --from a nine year old's view. Today, I despise the banking industry, I can't believe it was my childhood dream to work therein
My uncle dashed into the room like he was been chased by our local masquerades. He made for the turntable stereo, turned it on and tuned to IBC, which has already linked up with the FRCN Lagos. "Mechie nu onu, umaka!" my uncle commanded us to be quiet. It was a national broadcast, the Head of State and GCFR was about to address an unstable and unsettled nation. He started his address immediately after the national anthem. My little brother and I froze, and joined my uncle to listen on one of my dad's most important piece of property, a Hitachi stereo.
"Pello (fellow) Nigerians", that was General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) opening liner, like most other military Heads of state before, and after him. It is usually followed by, "The pedra (Federal) gwanment (government)" and bla-bla-bla-bla... Nigerians were usually uncertain back in those days, whether it was another coup d'etat or the likes. But they were more uncertain this time, giving the prevailing political turmoil and brouhaha that greeted the country, after Prof Humphrey Nwosu, the then electoral chairman (NEC), was slapped out of FRCN headquarters at Awolowo road, in Victoria Island, Lagos, by a soldier as he was announcing the result of the June 12 elections. August 27th also marked exactly eight years in office of the IBB led government. He overthrew General Buhari who since then has had a failed hat trick at becoming president since 2003. This address was a handover, or do I say a "Step aside" speech, not for the alleged winner of the polls, Chief MKO, but to an Interim national government of Chief Earnest Shonekon.
Nigerians knew that once again, IBB, the Maradona, has dribbled our intelligence again. This piece is not really aimed at telling or retelling the June 12 story, from the Afenifere, NADECO, or democratic activist view, but rather from the humanitarian angle which has often been ignored. Oso Abiola, was the exodus of (South) Easterners, especially Igbos from different parts of the country, to their states of origin. Some people say it was a paranoiac move. May be such notion was correct today, but for the people who experienced, heard or read stories of the events (pogrom) in the North, and even the South West from 1966-70, it was the most sensitive thing to do seeing the political tension in the land, and the warmongering South western media.
The journey back home was treacherous; sufferings, pains, anguish, and even deaths.
I am not a tribalist, a sectionist, or secessionist, but I wouldn't hide under the cloaks or pretexts or a nationalist and forget that I am Igbo. The late sage Pa Awo was once quoted as saying that he is first, Yoruba, and then Nigerian. We have not learnt anything, Nigeria, and especially Ndi Igbo, as we match toward 2015.
That's the true essence of this piece. I spent a horrendous 15hours with my elder sister, and over 10 others inside a lorry filled with luggage of all kinds.

Why not join forces like you say and sit at home forever so that you can cripple your region and watch your competition replace you in the other parts of Nigeria where your businesses are thriving?

You would have only succeeded to eliminating yourselves economically, while the needs of the country will be met by your replacement wherever you consider yourselves relevant, be it in trading or paid employment.

I reckon manna will fall from heaven to feed your hunger when you don't work?

Bubu can silent the messenger but not the message.ALL HAIL BIAFRA,IGBO AMAKA.

Yorubas can, like MB, keep hating and fighting Igbos until the islamists invade and kill them all like is happening in MB. Too bad to be surrounded by idiots. If igbos had a choice they will leave these Yoruba illiterates to enjoy their islamic northern masters like MB people are doing now. Until their mumu sense is corrected by northerners in their barbaric way.
I think MB and SS people done finally dey get sense as their beloved northerners who dey fight igbos for don carry the eyes see pepper. You cant see them here spewing anti-igbo sh*t unlike before. Yoruba people turn go soon reach .

Their brainwashed brain stuck deep into the orifice of northern islamists cant allow them learn from what happened to others. One can hardly see Aboki here spewing sh*t but trust Yoruba's, their brain is permanently convoluted to hate Igbos like the others until aboki will unleash horror on them like they did to the rest.

June 12 never reach Afonja to learn.

See this one deceiving himself.

Always reason with your head and not with your heart...

And the Hausa man will kill the remaining 900 or more cows the next day or 2 days after the sit at home because there will be more demand.

Many people sat at home because they were afraid of IPOB terrorists gangs not to attack their shops or business centres.

But why can't IPOB hold sit at home for federal government to produce KANU.
Where is KANU set?

Throwback:
IPOB has always thrived on its own self-delusion.

It is a strong delusion that makes a group believe that despite the people already having a recognised and constitutional leadership that they can change if not effective, with the numbers of supporters they boast of, they would rather continue to shout and scream to get attention of a democratic world that already knows they have an existing democratic representation.

That is their greatest delusion. And until they take over the democratic representation of the people they claim to speak for in a democratic Nigeria, Nigeria and the world would continue to ignore their demands as a whisper, and continue to treat IPOB as a terrorists group if it ever attempts to undermine the constitutional and democratic structures of state that exist in their region.

No democratic country in the world would ever allow a group impose itself as a democratic representation of a section of that country without having been democratically enfranchised as dictated by the constitution of the country. When IPOB is ready to abandon its circus amusement for serious business, it will get serious with its agenda for a political control of the region. When it has won its battle in the SouthEast as the constitutional representative of the people, then it would have the right to speak or make demands.

The simple truth is this, IPOB as a group is not interested in taking over political leadership of the zone, they have political backers that are merely using IPOB as a “presssure group” for political concessions in the Nigeria political arena

Roger3D:
Ibos are the ones who lost out when they sat at home, the rest of us didnt feel it one bit. Please they should go ahead and sit at home forever for all I care

Igbos lost out and u re wailing more than d bereaved?! where is that done?

Ziggylady:
You are trying so hard to act like a retardd if though you will swear you are not one...Your belly is twisting,turning ,going sour and clenching in frustration over this information that most Igbos do not even care about.

Igbos lost like you claimed so why are you and your pained scratched-faced sibling wailing??..It is not your business you claim yet you are haunting this thread with your scary presence...

Yeye dey smell.

I am happy I scare you.

I am also happy with your frustration that this loss is well emphasized as an Igbo and SouthEast loss that did not even move Nigeria, as against the propaganda already planned by IPOB that Nigeria lost billions of Naira.

I know it pains you that your brothers lamented about their losses. More like a public washing of dirty linen.


Now since the cat is out of the bag, you can also drop your own lamentations on how much you lost over your sit at home, like others have lamented in the news report.

Next year, sit at home for a week so that the SouthEast can lose N1Trillion. Biafra should be worth more than that.

Setting sentiments aside we all know how economically powerful Igbo is.We have 36 states and 774 local government areas where economic and commercial presence of Igbo cannot be denied in some way and most especially in cities.Consdering the source again,this report cannot be completely written off or ignored.And don't be so quick in giving me tribal tag because you don't know the tribe I belong to.

I wish u were at Alaba International Market, Auto parts trade fair,ladipo market or even International market, Orlu on 29th May

Confused set of people. See how we r very wretched because u sat at home.

shior!

He/she was speaking words of wisdom on your behalf and on behalf of your unborn generations.

But you can't see far perhaps because of that landed property or business which you or your relation has in Lagos or Abuja.

Also, the police said yesterday that the 21 members of the Biafra Zionists Federation (BZF) arrested on Wednesday for attempt to declare Biafra independence and forceful seizure of Enugu government house would be arraigned in court today.

Im surprised nobody noticed this psrt if the news. Oh well more proscriptions coming if they keep this up.

A former dean of study in the law faculty of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Prof. Gab Agu, said the action had adverse effect on the economy of the southeast zone, insisting that it should not be allowed to reoccur.

When I have time...I will pen a piece. Biafra should go political. Let ApGA be the central Party. And only people with "Biafra blood" should be elected.

Sit at home is ok...but let's take advantage of it and start the revolution of the East.

You think their activities cannot ground Nigeria's economy to near standstill?

Because Nigeria still gets crude oil?

Are you not a huge joke? Go back to school, please.

The igbos are enterprising, but the south east is not even an important region. No wonder most of ur successful people are no where near the south east

Their activity cannot not ground Nigeria in any way. That region is hardly important. The federal government hardly extract anything from that region. The economy in the south east is only based on buying and selling. The south east is even the poorest region in the whole south of Nigeria
