Abstract
This study investigates the impact of the indigenous people of Biafra's (IPOB) sit-at-home order on the economy of the southeast region of Nigeria. The separatist/secessionist party that wants to hold a referendum on the Igbo ethnic group's independence from Nigeria is currently imposing an order that has a significant impact on the southeast region of the country's trade, investment, internally generated income, works, and transportation. The study adopted Henry David Thoreau's 1849 essay on "Resistance to Civil Government," which was later renamed "Essay on Civil Disobedience" after his seminal lectures were published in 1866. The work demonstrates that the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) are indirectly shooting themselves in the leg by stampeding and ruining their economic enterprises. The work gathers information from secondary sources such as newspapers, journals, magazines, websites, and pertinent resources. The report proposed and urged, but was not limited to, that the government establish discussion with (IPOB) through the leadership of the South-East States to reduce tensions.
