Governor Charles Soludo’s reported threat to demolish Onitsha Main Market and convert the space into a school sparked outrage and sarcasm online, especially among traders who depend on the market for survival. Many questioned the practicality and priorities behind the move.
One controversial response read: “It mustn’t be a school. U can equally build akwuna house there. Vision leaders.”
The term akwuna house—a slang reference to a brothel—was used sarcastically to mock the government’s “vision.” Critics said the comment reflects deep public frustration and loss of respect for leadership, resorting to crude irony to express anger. Others condemned it as disrespectful and vulgar.
Overall, the reaction shows how unpopular policy threats often provoke extreme language, revealing widening gaps between government decisions and public trust.
