The order is coming at a time when Anambra State is preparing for its governorship election, which comes up on November 6.
IPOB’s Media and Public Secretary, Emma Powerful disclosed this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Awka, Anambra State on Saturday.
Powerful said, “Following the adjournment of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s court case to 10th of November 2021, by the Federal High Court, Abuja, we the great movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra wish to inform Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom that IPOB will lock down Biafraland from 5th of November to 10th of November except Sunday, November 7th, a day our people worship the Almighty God if the Nigeria Government fails to release our leader unconditionally before 4th of November 2021.
“Our leader, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi must be released unconditionally on or before November 4, 2021 because he has not committed any offense known to any law.
“Failure to release our leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on or before November 4, 2021, our one week Sit-At-Home begins on November 5, 2021 till November 10.
“Although we quite understand the pains and adverse effects of this option on our people, we are compelled to take it to achieve a better purpose in the collective interest of Biafrans.
“We have taken time to analyse what transpired on October 21 when our Leader was arraigned in court and discovered that the federal government is not sincere and only wants to humiliate him and keep him perpetually in DSS custody to rot there.
“We all saw how lawyers, journalists, Igbo delegates and respected traditional rulers and other people who came from all around the world to witness his court case were restricted and denied access into the court premises by security agents who kept them outside under the scorching heat of the sun. What a humiliation and wickedness!
“We cannot accept that anymore. We can never allow our leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to be tried secretly and we can never also allow him to be tried under Sharia law under any guise. Nigeria must follow International laws in handling our leader.
“Unless the federal government releases him unconditionally before November 4, we shall sacrifice one week for him as a warning protest to convey to our oppressors that Nnamdi Kanu represents over 70 million Biafrans.
“He is innocent of all the charges preferred against him. As long as he is in detention our individual businesses do not matter so much because he is suffering for us all and we can’t abandon him.
“We seriously regret the inconveniences this may cause our people but it’s a necessary sacrifice we need to make until we have our full independence. Nobody resident in Biafra land is expected to flout this directive as doing so amounts to challenging the will of the people on the Biafra project,” the release stated.

*These people are on a self destruction path.... A Case is in court and you are demanding for release like illiterates.... they can lock down the whole of the East until next year if they like .... so annoying!!!

Let me also join you in SMH Stella.
ReplyDeleteStupidity!
ReplyDeleteAt the highest order because we the igbo's are the ones suffering from this
DeleteFoolish people... Very foolish. As in I am so angry right now
DeleteI don't have words for all the governors in South east. Let them keep behaving like morons
So annoying
DeleteMcheews
Jumping bail alone is serious offense. They sha not kill and destroy people's properties to enforce their craze.
DeleteThey're cutting their noses to spite their faces. Don't they have good advisers?
DeleteSMH
ReplyDeleteThis isn't right
My customers are mostly from the East and it's affecting deliveries for God sakeππ
I don't know why Africans behave like brainless lots. Very poor strategy. Let's learn how to fight abeg.
ReplyDeleteWhite people will remain superior.
Very stupid irrational people. Who told them this will fly? If you like freeze the SE for 1 year, you all are OYO.
DeleteGreat job.. They should make it one month sef. This is what happens when the learned sit down and do nothing and then watch the uninformed decided what happens around them. Before they know it, the region will be dragged into poverty and hunger. Watch out, there will be a massive exodus from that region by next week.
ReplyDeleteππ€£π Where's Nnamdi Kanu's daughter and Gbam queen? Y'all haven't seen anything yet..Biafraud dunderheads!
ReplyDeleteYou dont need to abuse people. Be civil,always
DeleteVery annoying
ReplyDeleteThey better look for another strategies. All this sit at home order is only affecting the poor
one week is too much, they should use the Mondays they have already obtained to do the protest.
ReplyDeleteTonia
Noooo....let them sit at hone for one year. One week is too small.
ReplyDeleteContinue cutting your nose to spite your face.
Nonsense.
Stella it's not only affecting the SE because most of the SS buy their goods from SE that is where the challenge is.
ReplyDeletePls SS should source their goods from Lagos. What are they waiting for? By the time they kill commerce which is our mainstay, our people will be emboldened to revolt.
DeleteStory... things like what naa? food or clothes? That cannot be bought from west or north? Gadgets? Hair? Or fish we rear abi meat? Souvenirs? Chill, plenty options dey.
DeleteEvery day,sit at home,every week,sit at home.They are causing more damage to the already fragile economy of their own states.Do they really care about the people or just blindly chasing their agenda?I follow una SMH...
ReplyDeleteHehehehe. Pls make it two years . One month is too small. It has not dawn on you people that buhari does not care about your region and there is nothing spectacular your region is producing to make him even care a bit. Makebuna continue to do una selves.
ReplyDeleteYet, they can't let them go. This is the mindset of the whole Nigeria about Igbos. Let them go before my Yoruba people join them in this madness abeg
DeleteThey are not bringing anything significant and yet they won't let them go? Oya,treat them right kwanu? They won't. You slap a child and tells the child not to cry. Reason am well cos tomorrow table fit turn come your side
DeleteWhat can't Nigeria just let them go? Since they don't need them, can someone explain to me like I am a child why it is difficult to grant them Biafra if that is what they want.
ReplyDeletePlease is not every Igbo that wants this useless Biafra,so why will they let them go?I'm Igbo and I will never support Biafra
DeleteOne thing obviously yet to be understood fully by lots of folks is that BUHARI DOES NOT CARE!! IPOB should be careful. In the end, they may end up waking up and seeing they have destroyed the east. Buhari will not bat an eyelid. Thread with caution. Apply wisdom and caution. I repeat, BUHARI DOES NOT CARE!
ReplyDeleteTimes like this, I miss Obasanjo, he'd clear you all like weed, burn any building in his way. Seems they're toying with these IPOB miscreants
ReplyDeleteAll this by force sit at home without money or food is not helping the masses
ReplyDeleteFor a man that was released on bail and he jumped bail, no court would trust him again not to flee. So he is going to remain there until his trial is over. All IPOB can do now to get the attention of the Fed Govt is to lock down Abuja! They are just behaving like bullies who know they are actually powerless but must go on with these futile lockdowns just to convince themselves they are doing something. It’s like when we were children if we had any reason to go out in the dark we’ll be whistling just to show how unafraid of the dark we were, when in actual fact, deep down, we were quaking in our underpants!
ReplyDeleteIPOB has no strategy going forward, so we can only expect more of such childish and ineffectual announcements in future.
Well said. No sensible strategy at all. Deliquency at its best.
DeleteIlliterates!!! Ruin yourselves and think you are doing the govt.... mtcheeew
ReplyDeleteFoolish ipob. They should start from Sunday to end next year. Mumu idiots
ReplyDeleteI just feel for people in school especially the higher institutions...we no know which one we Dy suffer now, wether na ASUU abi sit at home.
ReplyDeleteJust now that ASUU has decided to behave small this ones have come with their own π...I just pray after Dem we should not hear any strike oooo
Lol! Ndi iberibe...sit at home till eternity na. I'm just worried cos my people in Aba. Hunger will not kiiii them in Jesus name
ReplyDeleteBuhari is this Emma powerful to powerful for you to send him to the dungeon? Useless people
ReplyDeleteππ
DeleteFools onuku
ReplyDeleteLol, hey God, just see how silly and stupid these vagabond sounds!
ReplyDeleteGod bikα», help my children and I to relocate soonest.
I just can't wait.
Oh no..π’π’ I pity the poor ones whose food comes from their daily hustleπ³π³π³
ReplyDeleteMost of the wicked people making the sit-at-home order don't have their families in the East but either abroad or other region of Nigeria, yet they are making terrible decisions which affect the well-being of those based in the stateπ³
How can you use a hammer to kill a mosquito? eh? This rule doesn't make sense! Leave the masses and face the governors! Leave the masses alone! what is all this? It's getting too much! No food! you are saying, sit at home!
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how selfish the typical Igbo man can be. As long it doesn't affect him, it's all good. Most of the people pushing for sit at home are not in the east. They feel that donating money is enough sacrifice for them . peoples lives are underthreat in the east but they all support the action. Anybody involved in ipob oppression or even sympathize with them will reap the harvest on his head. What about those in the hospital or those in need of emergency services? During covid health workers were exempted but this ndi iberibe didn't factor that in.
ReplyDeleteWith this sit at home, what happens to essential services.?
ReplyDeletePregnant women that will be due?
People that will fall Ill during the time?
People that need to make daily sales to feed?
People whose energy source will run out and they may need to refuel?
School children that won't be going to school?
People that already have events planned for that period and have paid vendors already?
Etc etc
You don't cut off the nose just to spite the face.
IPOB should reconsider, this sit at home is not the best way to make their voice heard.
This is illiteracy at its peak.
