Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, on Tuesday, lamented that the continuous sit-at-home being declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is quickly destroying the economy of the South-East zone.<\/p>\n

This is coming after the pro-Biafra group grounded the South-East on Monday and Thursday last week, and continued again this week, Monday and Tuesday, today.<\/p>\n

Those enforcing the order also yesterday, Monday, attacked a secondary school in Imo State where students were sitting for the West African Senior School Examination, WASCE.<\/p>\n

In a statement by the Ohanaeze Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, he said the developments were heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

Nnamdi Kanu: IPOB declares another sit-at-home September 14<\/p>\n

The Ohanaeze scribe said Ndigbo were known to be educationists and entrepreneurs and wondered where such a different spirit was coming from.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWe are seriously disturbed over these actions that are endangering the future of Igbo pupils students; it is disheartening that the IPOB disciples are playing into the decoys and gimmicks of Igbo detractors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nonsensical for any right-thinking Igbo to hinder our youngsters from participating in the WACE examinations under any guise of self-determination. Ndigbo are known to be first-class educationists and entrepreneurs; this new trend is certainly alien to Igboland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis madness has reached the zenith of stupidity and must decline; it\u2019s on record that Igbo students have remained outstanding in the WACE examination, with spectacular results, so anyone trying to remove this mark is an enemy of Ndigbo.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the economic implication of the sit-at-home order, Isiguzoro lamented that \u201cwe have reached the end of the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cNdigbo have lost almost N3.8 trillion in all facets of economic and social activities due to this absurdity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis must be terminated instantly for our survival. We are in support of state governments to sack and reshuffle all market leadership in the southeast who are supporting the sit-at-home order.<\/p>\n

\u201cA time has come for an emergency meeting with Igbo Town Union Administrators, market leaders and other pro-Biafra agitators whose conducts are in line with Igbo interests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not fold our hands and allow for a total destruction of the South-East; our enemies are already holding a tea party and we should not allow it to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
