Effect of the Indigenous People of Biafra’s Sit-at-Home Order on the Economy of South-Eastern Nigeria
Abstract
This research examines the effect of sit at home order by the indigenous people of Biafra
(IPOB), on the economy of the southeastern part of Nigeria. The separatist/secessionist group
that seeks for a referendum for the independence of the Igbo ethnic group of Nigeria is at the
moment putting order that is seriously affecting the southeastern part of the Nation, on its
trade and investment, internally generated revenue, and on works and transport. The work
adopted the civil Disobedience theory, developed from Henry David Thoreau’s 1849 essay
on “Resistance to Civil Government” which was eventually renamed “Essay on Civil
Disobedience” after his landmark lectures were published in 1866. The work shows that the
indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), is indirectly shooting itself on the leg by stampeding and
destroying its own economic activities. The work drives its information from secondary
sources of data, like Newspaper, journals, magazines, online and from relevant materials. The
paper suggested and recommend but not limited to, that government should initiate dialogue
with (IPOB) through the leadership of the South-East States in order to easy of the tension.
