We have found out that we are losing jobs and business opportunities. As a representative of the good people of Anambra South, we say we will not continue to have sit-at-home on Mondays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom this Monday, every business venture will be opened in Nnewi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is your warning Simon Ekpa, for 17 good times, you have mentioned Ifeanyi Uba. You have been seeking my attention, 17 good times and I am replying you today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever ever mention Ifeanyi Uba or Nnewi again. You are in Finland contesting for councilor or whatever. You go for your job every Monday but you want to ridicule us because you have internet to run propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStart your sit-at-home from Ebonyi before you mention Anambra and Nnewi.
