The Road Blocks on the SE Roads are a menace from time immemorial. Seems there is a covet effort to keep the people there impoverished, constantly intimidated, coerced and extorted.

Nigeria has not been fare to the Igbos, I am not Igbo, but justice demands that I support the marginalized people.

Last time I moved across those states, I had to keep giving monies to soldiers and policemen, and at one check-point I had to give them a bottle of Henessy.

It is terrible, if we want a united country, then we should treat all Nigerians as equal partners. Nigeria can not survive without the Igbos. They are the commercial life-line of the republic.

I think it's time for Igbos to go into total and absolute resistance. Let heaven fall.

Though I'm against Buhari and Co, I will not completely support this. Instead I will suggest we ask the road blockers to do the right thing.
Imagine I was in a bus bus not knowing that someone in the bus had a short gun until we were stopped and searched by the road road blockers. It happened for real. So I will say know to scrapping "stop and search" until Nigeria becomes a saner place.

You just have to take a trip to the SE roads though. The soldiers dress with their war regalia, those war hats/cap that has some crazy pieces of cloths all over. I see no reason for such levels of security on the roads. So scary, looks like a country at war over there.

It's now I believe what most of my friends say about this forum's members being children who don't go out and only say rubbish regarding everyday happenings in the country.

The reason for these roadblocks is money. The East it seems, has no law. Police men are king there. They make God knows how much from motorists. I visited the east sometime back and Enugu alone had more check points than I had seen in four Nigerian states combined. I spent 30,000 NGN in two days to pacify police men due to minor offences: my tinted windows, license plate cover, expired fire extinguisher, expired insurance papers etc. After leaving the region I said "Thank God" and will only go there when the check points disappear.

For those saying the stop points exist because of intimidation, it is a lie. If they were made to intimidate they will exist deep in the villages where their presence is visible to the locals. Yet their only locations are on the expresses. There are no two ways about it, money is their only motivation.

What do you mean "The East it seems, has no law. Police men are king there"


Are any force under state government?

Army, police, etc are under federal government, Is it the Eastern state that will post them to the location. However you r right, those guys make money from the roadbloacks

I meant no law to regulate their behaviour. Their actions are illegal and no different from highway robbers. The only difference is their state-issued uniform.

[quote author= post=69123998]Concerned that the number of road blocks along the major federal expressways in the South-East which are manned by a combined force of the Police and the Army have suddenly increased and became intimidating



Anything for the good of the South Eastern part of the nation.
Thanks you.[/quote]They are abundant in the East extorting money and making lives difficult!

Yet the army is not enough for the North where thousands are killed on a daily basis undecided

Quantinue!

Thanks you.[/quote]The South East part of the Nation is the most peaceful in this Country..let them carry their Security and go and meet Boko Haram and Fulani Jihadists wherever they are rampaging and stop extorting and intimidating the peaceful people of Igbo land..

Nobody is saying it should be completely dismantled,if it is fairly distributed I doubt anyone will be here having issues with it..why concentrate such a heavy security presence in the most peaceful part of the nation to the detriment of places where their presence are seriously needed..

the road blocks are preferable to leaving the roads bare for kidnappers and armed robbers. The policemen do abuse their office but they are still under authority and easily traceable.
