August 1, 2024, a nationwide protest against economic hardship saw a notable absence of participation from Nigeria’s South-East region. While the protest, which began on Thursday and is scheduled to continue until August 10, aimed to highlight pressing issues affecting the nation, South-East residents largely opted out. Reports indicated empty streets in Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, and Anambra states, with businesses remaining shut and many individuals choosing to stay indoors.

This pattern of minimal participation extends beyond protests. Historical data reveals a recurring trend of disengagement from critical national activities in the South-East including during elections and recruitment processes. 

What drives this minimal participation? Is it a reflection of broader socio-political sentiments, fears, or possibly a disconnect from national processes? How might this disengagement affect the South-East's representation and influence in national decisions and policy-making in the long run? 

Take a listen.
