ANAMBRA State Governor, Professor Soludo became an instant hero about two weeks ago when he defeated the longstanding secessionists,IPOB ordered civil disobedience action of ‘sit at home’ in Anambra especially in Onitsha, the commercial capital of the state, an action that has for over five years, crippled economic and social activities of not only the state but the entire South East region of the country.

Just in case you do not know, the proscribed IPOB, formed by convicted terrorist, Nnamdi Kanu (he is currently serving a life sentence in a Sokoto correctional facility) had the sole aim of achieving a sovereign country called Biafra for the Igbo people.

And in sympathy with IPOB, Onitsha main market traders have been religiously observing the every Monday sit at home for years until two weeks ago that Soludo told himself in Igbo language like “mba, enough is enough”. He gave the traders an order to open that Monday or face one week of truly sitting at home.

The traders called his bluff and Soludo against all odds shut down the market reputed to be the biggest in West Africa down! Dat man get mind! No amount of intimidation, threat and appeal convinced Soludo to reopen the market before the one week deadline. That is how a true leader acts by the way.
After the one week, dem nor tell blind man say rain dey fall.

The traders now practically sleep in the market on Sundays to ensure they open on time on Monday if not, Soludo had threatened that if they don’t, he would shut the commercial hub down for the rest of the year and from the look of things, dat bros fit do am.

Done with Onitsha market, the Governor shifted focus to banks and schools and on Monday, T4T read in the news that he summarily suspended nine head teachers of different government schools for two weeks and their salaries deducted over low students turnouts on Monday, haba!

How did it become the cross of the head teachers to bear if students failed to come to school? T4T would have understood and cheered the action of the Governor if on visiting the school, he saw the students and the teachers were absent.

Is Soludo telling the world that it is now the responsibility of teachers to go from house to house every Monday and drag the students from the hands of parents who are unwilling to release them? No na, dat one nor be teacher work na.

In the 70s perhaps when T4T was in primary school, that was when teachers knew practically every pupil’s parents homes and so were going there to terrorise the stubborn pupil who hated school, not in this generation!

Governor Soludo, you got this one wrong. What you should do is to continue to sensitise Anambra people, assure them the streets are now safe for them to come out every Monday without risking being killed and or kidnapped by the popular IPOB/ESN unknown gunmen. And the people should see heavy security presence to bolster their confidence too, without relying on just your words.

Abeg, T4T knows that you are like Amadioha juju, when you say something, you don’t go back on your words, but biko, bros, suspending the nine teachers and even deducting from their salaries is an unfair vindictive action. How much be government teachers salary sef wen dem dey commot two weeks from am?
