IPOB and Sit at Home Insecurity: Cubana Chief Priest Was Right
Obinna Akukwe
I was recently told by an Indigenous Peoples of Biafra , IPOB Chieftain that Mr Paschal
Chibuike, also known as Cubana Chief Priest
was callous for claiming that he
relocated the headquarters of his business from Owerri to Lagos due to
insecurity caused by IPOB and their Sit-at Home, and my response was frank,
Cubana Chief Priest was right.
After the claims made by the Cubana Chief Priest THAT
INSECURITY MADE HIM RELOCATE HIS BUSINESS HEADQUARTES TO Lagos, the leadership of IPOB claimed that Governor
Hope Uzodimma and all agents of darkness are using him against Ndigbo. The IPOB
Chieftains all over the globe condemned him as an agent of darkness, a traitor
to the Igbo cause and made mockery of his fortune in the entertainment
business, despite them enjoying the same entertainment hotspots. I dare say
again that Cubana Chief Priest was Right in relocating his entertainment
business out of the South East for reasons open to logical minds.
The IPOB Sit at Home has crippled businesses in the South
East, since it was forcefully enforced for every Monday, since 2021. Many
foreign investors plying their trade in the South East have quietly relocated
to the South West and South South. Many Indigenous business owners, especially
the security conscious ones, have
relocated out of the South Eeast.
The rate at which vehicles transit to the South East have reduced drastically especially during weekends Friday, Saturdays. It reduced by half according to our findings.
In Abuja specifically, we did a survey and discovered that Fridays, Saturdays, passenger traffic using Hummer Buses and Sienna Toyota and related vehicles amounts to about 1700- through Jabi, Kubwa, Zuba, Gwagwalada and about 200 through Nyanya-Nassarawa –axis. This was a 2021 survey, meant for another economic calibration. In Abuja axis alone, this results to about N16 billion loss of transport revenue every Friday and Saturday.
