16. IMO STATE (Eastern Heartbeat).....yeah right....Junior sister to Edo!

This wonderful state is named after the Imo River (Imo Mmiri). Its main tributaries are the Otamiri (a very important river in the state too)and the Njaba, Ulasi, Oramirukwa rivers. According to some, there is a deity (alusi) who owns the river (provides water for fishing, transport and agriculture) and there is a festival for the goddess between May and July during which it overflows its banks. Imo Mmiri is also considered a goddess of fertility and is particularly respected in the Ngwa and Mbaise communities. A bridge crosses the Imo River to connect Rivers State and Akwa Ibom. One of the biggest rivers in Igboland, it starts from the Okigwe/Awka uplands and runs for about 240 km before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean.

Point of correction.

Imo is the Eastern Heartland. Not heartbeat.

ABIA STATE (God's Own State)....Which one come be Devil's own state?

As many might have guessed (yelz…lol), Abia is an acronym derived from the name of the four main groups of people in the state as at the time it was formed in 1991. These were the: Aba, Bende, Isuikwuato and Afikpo. Former Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu (hin too dey talk joor) is from Bende while Lambert Ndukwe, one of the richest men in Nigeria in the 50s (he imported stockfish from Northern European nations like Norway and exported cotton back) was from Isuikwato. Afikpo now belongs to Ebonyi State and as for Aba, we all know berra…lol! Okay, let’s roll!
Abia state was derived from the 1st two letters of Aba senatorial zone and the last two letters of Umuahia senatorial zone of the Old Imo state that combined to form Abia state and not the local governments listed above.

Yea I rep. Edo state truly the heart beat of the nation

EDO STATE (Heart Beat Of The Nigeria)....Close to Delta....is it really the Heart Beat Of The Nation...it means no Nigeria without Edo aight?

Hmmmmn, Edo. Initially applied to mean the Bini people (they’ve always called themselves Edo or Iduu, after the progenitor of the Edo race) of the Benin Kingdom (which existed for about 1,000 years before the British conquered it in 1897), Edo today also means the land itself, the culture and the language. It also refers to the adjoining peoples, cultures and languages. The name appears in the royal title of the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo

Like "iyaniwura" wasn't recognised after all. Does it like it was stolen.....To God be the Glory that u have seen it before!

Naptu.....thanks so much for the colour u added.....its wonderful!

Its so obvious that the only state with anthem is Ogun State, the cradle of Nigeria Civilization!
