It is no longer
news that economic activities both in public and private sectors are grounded
especially on Mondays in the South-eastern part of Nigeria. It is also a fact
that the fears of the unknown hovers around the air in the region as people no
longer trust their next-door neighbors. Public offices, private businesses,
schools, and markets are shut down every Monday completely in compliance with
the order and directives of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). This
'dangerous proclamation' is setting the entire Southeastern part of Nigeria
ablaze economically. The IPOB is a separatist group located in southeast
Nigeria that has members all over the world where Igbo people live. This group
aims to restore the defunct independence of Biafra through non-violence
activities (Ekpo & Agorye, 2019).
