Na wah, my people! E be like say Anambra state don finally catch light from this dark Monday sit-at-home wahala wey don dey run since 2021. Governor Soludo, you sabi as e dey do, don waka go Onitsha Main Market to announce say ‘no more sit-at-home’!
This na big news because dis sit-at-home dey chop their economy like say na pepper soup. As e be now, Soludo don show face for the market, dey buy everything from food to clothes to prove say fear don finish. Dis kan move wey dem dey call symbolic dey shake tables as dem go begin make money again.
But before we start to celebrate, make we no forget sey IPOB still get strong grip for this matter. Even though Soludo don talk say market go open, some places still dey quiet as dem still dey observe the sit-at-home dem order on Monday.
Na so e be, the streets for Anambra still dey empty like person wey no wan chop. Banks, schools, motor parks, and even filling stations no wan show face, just like monkey wey dey hide for bush. The traders for Aba, Nnewi, and others dey still dey gree for this sit-at-home, despite all the governor talk.
People like Mr. Vincent Eke don share their own story of how fear dey hold dem. E talk say after wey dem call am dey warn am on top his business, e no fit open again on Mondays. Dem sabi how to scare people well well! Na so dem dey block market activity since Kanu matter start, and the fear dey follow like shadow.
But IPOB don still dey flex muscles, abeg! Dem dey smile say people still dey follow their order. The spokesperson, Emma Powerful, even talk say the people of South-East don show say dem strong and united. “From Omambala go Onitsha, na one voice we dey hear,” na wetin dem talk. Na so e be, dem no wan submit to fear again, but the question be, how we go fit balance this fear and the hustle for market?
