ibrahimdoc: All those people clamoring for anioman state, what geo political zone will anioma be grouped under

, it is a fact the most anioman people are saying that they are not igbos and I don't see south east wanting anioma state as part of south east geo political zone...

The south south already has 6 zones and it will not make sense to create anioma and then group them under south south....So the best bet is for anioma people to fight for polical relevance in delta state and forget about creation of anioma, cos I see it as just a mere dream that will never come to pass....Honestly I really pity for them, cos they seem most educated set of people in delta yet, they are being grossly marginalized...Soon Ijaw will have their own turn in governorship post.

Trying to force anioma state down the throats of igbos we create serious war and bad blood and Nigeria doesn't need this sort of thing right now....Any anioma in the house, what do you think about it. I believe I raised a salient point that should be looked into.

PehaKaso: Anioma people av d right 2 clamour 4 their own state since they are marginalised in Delta. Btw y cant SS av 7 states wen NE or NW has same 7 states?

Garri the 1st:

Mtscheeeww!!!

Jeeesh! Why do you hate igbos so?

Delta north political leaders have listed conditions upon which they would throw their weight behind Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan in the fresh governorship election ordered by the Appeal Court in Delta State.

This came as the former governor took steps, last week, to make peace with Anioma political and opinion leaders, whose area is considered to be the battle ground for the election, ahead of the polls.

Uduaghan, who met with political leaders in Oshimili, Aniocha, Ika and Ndokwaland, pleaded for forgiveness for his mistakes, especially the alleged marginalisation of the area that has nine local governments and has acted as the stabilising factor in Delta politics.

The former governor, who was accompanied by the Delta PDP chairman, Peter Nwaoboshi, and other members of his political team, paid a courtesy call on the Ide  Ahaba, Chief Sonny Iwedike Odogwu, in Asaba, last Sunday, where he pledged to make amends if given the support to return to office.

Sunday Vanguard learnt that Chief Sonny Odogwu, the Ide Ahaba and chairman of Grand Hotel  Asaba, expressed the displeasure of indigenes of Anioma with the three point agenda of the Uduaghan administration and some aspects of his policies which had tended to marginalize the people.

In another development, Sunday Vanguard learnt that Delta North leaders met in Abuja where the issue of supporting the former governor was discussed, contrary to the impression being created by members of Uduaghan’s campaign team that Anioma support is a sure bet.

A notable leader of PDP in Oshimili south, Chief Akaeze Philip Ibonye, said it makes political sense for Anioma people to show forgiveness but asked the former governor to reognize that Delta north has been the stabilizing factor in Delta politics and has been the kingmaker of all that past elected governors in the state.

In another development, the chairman of Aniocha Rnaissance, Chief Ptrick Onwochie, told Uduaghan to review what his administration had done in the past three and a half years and note that Asaba and other major towns in Delta north did not feel the impact of the administration in terms of development.

ogo2707: @ OP Please your claim that all anioma folks with exception of ika accept being igbo is grossly false. I'm ukwuani from the anioma region and i see isoko sand urhobos as closer brothers than igbos. My hometown is bordered by an isoko town on one side and an urhobo town on another side so i don't get what makes me anything close to being igbo. Don't misjudge my assertion as being biased against the igbos because i know they are great people, infact 80% of the ladies I've dated are from across the niger but that doesn't mean i won't correct the fact that nothing makes me igbo. Maybe the anioma people you know are mostly from the asaba end of anioma hence your conclusion.

ogo2707: We are all entitled to our personal opinions. Those of you that claim ukwuani is igbo thats your opinion, those that say ukwuanis lord themselves & act like the mouthpiece of anioma thats your opinion. I am saying I'm Ukwuani and not igbo thats my opinion. What really matters in the end is that we are all Nigerians living in peace & hoping for our collective progress & for God to deliver us from the wrong set of people as our leaders.

ogo2707: ^^^ Oga why the harsh words. Abeg no vex beat me. I stated the close isoko & urhobo towns just to air my personal opinion of feeling closer to them whenever i meet them elsewhere than to an igbo man and not to use it as a yardstick for not being igbo. I have relatives who are urhobo also. I'm saying am not an igbo man based on me being born ukwuani & not igbo. Take it easy no need to join issues & throw insults.
