….Enugu, Abia, Imo residents stay indoors

…Businesses shut in Ebonyi

….Archbishop to Tinubu: Resign if you can’t fix Nigeria’s economy

By Steve Oko, Chimaobi Nwaiwu & Chinedu Adonu

All markets, stores and artisans’ shops in Nnewi, the industrial town of Anambra and Onitsha, the commercial city of Anambra State, opened for business as traders and youths shunned the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest that started yesterday across the country.

As usual, as early as 6:30 am, commercial buses and tricycle movements were noticeable on the roads and streets in Nnewi and Onitsha, conveying traders and artisans to their respective markets, stores and shops in the towns.

Ndigbo had severally made their opposition known on the planned protests or 10 days of rage that started yesterday.

Anambra State markets’ leaderships have assured that none of the markets would be shut down during the #EndBadGovernance protest ongoing across the country.

There was normalcy in Onitsha and Nnewi, both commercial hubs of the state and other environs with filling stations and banks opened and transporters hustling for their daily bread.

To douse the tension already generated by the protest, particularly among the traders and customers, Innocent Ezeoha, Chairman of Onitsha Main Market said the Igbo are not part of it.

“You can see that the shops are open for business and traders and customers going about peacefully.

This is supposed to be good news after all the man never inferred he was the spokesman of the region. However, it defeats the propaganda of some people who claimed he had the midas touch (or tongue) to instigate people to perpetrate violence. Is God not wonderful? I hope tomorrow, no one will link him to any negative activity in the region.

It's now obvious that Thiefinubuu paid Umahi and Reno omokekere to always insult Peter Obi daily .


Umahi was disappointed that Igbos did not protest so that he will pin the whole protest on Peter Obi.

Efulefu idiot! And Umahi thinks his is relevant in the SE? Perhaps he should ask the late Ogbonnaya Onu, Chris Ngige, Rochas Okorocha etc where their iberiberism landed them. So all these gaslighting won't change anything one bit.

The solemn fact remains that #endbadgovernance protest held across this nation despite the threat by the zombies of this government. The SE never minced word about protesting against bad governance because we have long done so with the ballot.

Those of us who still protest did so out of our self volition. So it is not a Peter Obi issue Dave Umahi. Anyone who felt grieved about the quietness from the region should take the centre stage if they are part of those who put Nigeria in the present imbralgo. It is often said that a stitch in time saves nine

These charlatans have formed the habit of mentioning Obi whenever they want to cause distraction.

But we shall not be distracted. Govt addressing Hunger and Hardship in the land remains the focus.

This is one of the major reasons why igbos will never be reckoned with politically. Almost all the six geo political zones are protesting except the South East. And later when the time comes for sharing political appointments they'd be shouting marginalization.

Ibos will never become president of Nigeria with this their level of indecisiveness. Protest against bad governance dem go chicken out. Come out and vote, they will chicken out also,and dem wan b president. Come become president mk we see.

That's why the north and west will always be the decision makers of Nigeria. We are always proactive in any struggle.

They want to gaslight people but it won't take away the uselessness of both Buhari and Tinubu can the APC.

Protest in north: Peter Obi is speaking for the north. The northerners are obeying Peter Obi bla bla bla.,

Umahi is an idiot.

If Obi is not relevant, why did he win in all SE states?

Obi even came to Tinubu's Lagos and beat him in 2023 elections.

Peter Obi never organized any protest. So only an idiot will try to link him to any planned protest.

What does David Umahi want?

Lol. Someone that his entire household voted obi is having seizures o.

Igbos have been vocal from day one that they will not participate on the protest

What you see Umahi and co doing is frustration based on the fact that their plans to scuttle the protests using tribal coloration, and by linking obi and LP to it did not work. Simple.

Don't mind that impostor who took Igbo name for a moniker on Nl.

Mondays SIT AT HOME 🏡 alone is more destructive to the East than the Disastrous Policies of Tinubu's Government 😁😁😁

Who is fighting for Yorubas?


Umahi is a typical politician defending his job



Igbo need Yoruba to fight for them than Yoruba need you people.


Yoruba don't need you motherfúcker fight we can handle any arises ourselves. We ain't the second largest tribe for nothing
abibun: 11:10am On Aug 02, 2024
Is a good thing that the Igbos are not participating in the protest? It's a way of telling the other tribes that they made a mistake by voting for Tinubu

But for the sake of people like Umahi, they should have participated. His now feeling like Igbos not participating in the protest is because of his influence. He is now feeling like someone important. A man who has been in office for a year and has no noteworthy projects to his name.
