Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has stated that the South East’s sit-at-home directives will have no effect on the national economy and will simply further devastate the region’s economy.
Omokri stated in a tweet on Thursday that the main reason sit-at-home orders in the South East will not harm the country’s economy is that no state in the region is among the top ten states in terms of registered tax-paying enterprises in the country.
According to Omokri, the present sit-in is a battle waged by the South East against itself, with the most important economic impact on the rest of Nigeria being positive.

According to the social critic, foreign and domestic investors are supposedly withdrawing from the Southeast and relocating to more stable regions.
He wrote: “The attached image is the major reason why the sit-at-home currently going on in the Southeast geopolitical zone is not impacting the national economy and is only destroying their regional economy.
“Because of the top ten states with registered tax paying businesses in Nigeria, not a single one is in the Southeast. And of the top ten states that generate the highest internally generated revenue in the nation, none are from the Southeast.
“The current sit-at-home is a war the Southeast is having against itself, and the most significant economic effect it has on the rest of Nigeria is positive, in that foreign and local investors are divesting from the Southeast and relocating to other stable geopolitical zones.
