Abstract: Sit-at-home order as enforced by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been on for about two (2) years; not even the various responses of the Nigerian government could stop it. This study examined the effects of the order enforced in South-east of Nigeria. The study looked at the implications of IPOB order on the socio-economic activities and the development of the region, as well as its effects on education. The study is qualitative; it adopted Documentary research design, while Systems Theory served as the theoretical guide. The study established that Sit-at-home order has severe economic consequences on indicators of socio-economic activities in the South-east, Nigeria. Based on this, the researchers recommended the need for a dialogue among the Igbo traditional rulers, governors of the South-east and the acclaimed leaders of IPOB across states of the region. There should be introduction of online classes and writing of examinations for students on Sit-at-home days. There should be equal power rotation of presidential seat across all the six (6) geo-political zones of Nigeria.
