INTRODUCTION

Good morning, it's another day and I'm about bringing another topic to you which is my 4th post on the 7 day writing challenge, thanks and let's go.
Aba is a seriously busy city where people hardly relax or waste their times without profitable things or doing one thing or the other, that will bring money to their pocket or put food on their tables on daily basis.

MY MORNING TIME

Sun rise on Monday morning in Aba, Abia State, Nigeria.

As usual nature does not make mistakes or create vaccum anytime or day. This is the sun rise in the city of Aba, ordinarily people supposed to be going out to their business places or working places, students and pupils suppose to be preparing and going to their different schools. Villagers suppose to be on their way to their farmland to cultivate the ground because it's a farming season. Market men and women, transporters supposed to be on their way doing what they know best to do, artisànts should have been doing their jobs and so on and so forth.

But guess what?? It's not so, rather every affore mentioned individuals are sitting at home eunoanimously obeying the order by the IPOP members. Everyone is begging for peace that Will make everything normalised. This had led to the appearance of the next picture you are about to see and the actions of our youths this early morning instead of engaging on a meaningful things as today is Monday morning, a brand new week, never on a Saturday morning that supposed to be a weekend that would have been for footballers. NO.... but on a Monday.

Youths playing football on Monday morning.

MY AFTERNOON TIME

Do you know, now is 1:25 PM, I have left watching them playing, gone into the kitchen to do some routinal chores like sweeping, bathing eating and serving others their meals. I decided to go and see my sister down the street, spent some time with her and family. Only to come back now and still see these youths still playing football, this got me surprised. Now I realized how serious playing football can engage the players whenever they have decided to engage on it. It's as if this is what they have done all through today, na waaoooo 😂😂😂.

Youths applying their business strength to football on a Monday morning, shops opposite locked up, even in villages. Picture captured from upstairs.

STATES INVOLVED IN SIT AT HOME

There are five Igbo language speaking and cultural states in Nigeria that are affected by the sit at home practice since 2021. Namely, Abia State, Imo State, Ebonyi state, Anambra state and Enugu state. All these states are the Igbo speaking states in the south eastern Nigeria.
You know idleness is a serious waste, these youths don't want to be wasted in idleness, they have rather engaged their strength and their mental assertion into this early morning footballing. Keeping themselves busy for the day. Though it's also a way of loosing weight too. Instead of just sitting at home eating and going in and out of their phones, watching films videos, comedies and so on for no profit at all.
Our roads and markets are also empty, families, children, everybody stays at their homes on Mondays. Eating, playing and sleeping away their time.

WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO TO AVOID THIS OBSTACLE ?

All the five Igbo speaking States of Nigeria are still asking for peaceful resolutions of whatever that might have brought the situation in this part of our country. Let there be peaceful solutions. That everyone both students and business people will be free to go about their daily businesses. Roads and shops, schools are all closed down on this said day, it's detrimental to the people, though some people maybe benefiting from it also. Markets , schools and working places of the people are all under locks and keys. I think people are loosing so much resources but still people will be seriously fulfilled if the situation can change. Some of the people are not happy at all, while some do not care about the outcome. May God help and bring permanent solutions and peace to the Igbos, the south eastern region and people in Nigeria.

Lonely roads, people are tightly sitting in their homes.

MY EVENING TIME

My evening was beautiful, through the afternoon I was upstairs watching these young people playing the said football for a very long time, from morning to afternoon, like 2: pm, changing players often and on, it was amazing.
When I was tired watching them, I went into my kitchen, prepared night food for the family, everyone ate and we went to bed by 9:45, 10: pm. I was just pondering over the sit at home situation in the whole Igbo land, that led to my compilation of this content, because the situation looks like it has come to stay.

CONCLUSION

It's a serious situation begging for solutions.
Most of us are asking for a lasting solutions. That is the most important aspect of our look out, peace that can last.
To my own understanding, we don't want war but peace is paramount for the people of the south eastern region and states of Nigeria.

Thanks for reading and voting on my post, have a beautiful day and see you on my remaining writings.
