I have been following with disgust the numerous fallacious threads created by Yorubas and Hausa senseless bigots trying to cause division between we the Igbos on the western part of river Niger and our brothers in the eastern part of the river Niger. It is obviously you people are completely ignorant of our history and relationships with the eastern Igbos. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT MANY OF OUR ANCESTORS MIGRATED FROM THE EAST AND HAVE STRONG RELATIONSHIP THE EASTERN IGBOS.

Below are some Anioma towns and their place of origin:

Asaba migrated from Awka and Nteje Anambra State

Igbuzo migrated from Isu Imo State and Nri Anambra State

Ogwashi ukwu migrated from Nri Anambra State

Okpanam migrated from Anam, Oba Anambra State and Anioma

Ogboli migrated from Nri Anambra State

Ishiagu migrated from Awka Anambra State

Abah migrated from Nri

Illah migrated from Nri, Anambra State

Ejeme migrated from Nri Anambra State

Ewulu migrated from Anam Anambra State

Ute Okpu migrated from Nri Anambra State

Owa founded by Odogwu and his brother Ozomo who migrated from Nri

Akwukwu migrated from Nri Anambra State.

Akwukwu Igbo migrated from Nri Anambra State

etc

The above are just few examples of Anioma towns that migrated from the East of the Niger.

Many Anioma sons played prominent roles in the biafra war, some of them are Major General Onuatuegwu from Ogwashi Ukwu who was the head of Biafran Defence Headquarters, Major General Madiebo who commanded the Biafran Owerri division, Col Joe Achusia from Asaba who headed the western Biafran brigade, Brigedier General Okonjo from Ogwashi Ukwu, Col Nwadei, Capt Anuku from Owa, Ika who was Head of Biafran Navy, Major Kaduna Nzeogwu from Okpanam who led the battalion in Nsukka etc. Western Igbo will always be part of Biafra.

The babaric federal troops committed war crimes in different towns of Anioma killing innocent men and women as well as raping some ladies. The Anioma nations will not forget the atrocities committed by the weak and shameless Northern and yoruba soldiers in Agbor, Ogwashi Ukwu, Asaba, Okpanam, Issele Ukwu, Onicha Ugbo, Igbuzo, Ndokwa, Ukwuani and many Anioma towns although many of them met their shameful death in the hands of gallant and brillant biafran soidiers.

LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR TO ALL YORUBA AND NORTHERN SHAMELESS M0RONS THAT SHOULD BIAFRA BECOME A REALITY, THE ANIOMAS WOULD BE PART OF IT BECAUSE WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PART OF IT. WE CANNOT BE DECEIVED BY YOUR BIGOTRY PROPELLED PROPAGANDA.

Till then

Dreamers. See Who's talking about bigotry

Op, newsflash, biafra will not and I repeat will neva come to pass...

Op, you are blessed with sense; dem neva see anything....that madiebo guy was from onitsha though

Ignore all the yoruba people creating threads about Anioma and pretending to be from Anioma. We the true Aniomas know the truth.

Igbodelta do u believe in One Nigeria?

Igbo is Igbo

[size=18pt]Murtala Mohammed mowed down our people simply because we were Igbos, using one Yoruba recruit to give the execution order.

So how come today we are suddenly Yorubas or Hausa




Watch the documentary below and see what hausa and Yoruba did to Asaba people on October 7th, 1967 , simply for being Igbo!

There is nothing one in Nigeria.

@OP, why are you even wasting your time explaining things to these nitwits?
It is known that when Biafra becomes reality as formed by SS and SE, even the Urhobos, Isokos, Itsekiris and Ijaws will join in, not just the Aniomas alone.

The chairman of the lecture, Obi Edozien, re-emphasised this point: “we Igbo people are one. We must stop fighting over irrelevancies and emphasise the essential.”

This point arose out of the tendency among Igbo people to regard some groups as not “real” Igbos on basis of dialectal differences. It also exists in the form of clearly Igbo-speaking people with Igbo names and cultural patterns declaring themselves as “not Igbo” but ethnic minorities.

This is very rampant among Igbo groups in the South-South zone who believe that by so self-declaring publicly, they would be more acceptable among the real minorities and allowed to take their places as ethnic minorities.

Experience has, however, shown that this self-delusion hardly ever produces their desired results. Whenever the push comes to the shove, the real minorities remind them that they are Igbo people who are out to take what belongs to the minorities through the back door.

This phenomenon was evident in 2006 when former Governor Peter Odili of Rivers State (who loved to call himself a “Rivers man,” as if Rivers State is a tribe) was running for president. Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark openly declared Odili an Igbo man, arguing that the South-South president that the minorities have been agitating for was not meant to go to “an Igbo man.”

Given this situation, there has been an increasing shift of paradigm. Many Igbo groups, especially in Delta State, have decided no longer to play the masquerade. The Obi of Asaba, Professor Edozien, actually laid out conditions he believes will cement Igbo unity permanently.

Obi Edozien then called on the people of the South-East zone to support the creation of Anioma State and another for Igbo-speaking people of Rivers State to make for seven states, all of which will be lumped together in one zone or region.

Anioma people have said......they r not part of u.....straight from d horses mouth....shikena....

@OP thanks for this post but I would have loved to see your source or at least a reference for us to know that these places are really from where you say they migrated from, Ebu you said migrated from Awka in Anambra and I know those people speak Igala so are you saying in Awka they speak Igala too ? Just asking o , and since you are at it pls. tell us where Agbor migrated from cause I've seen some Agbor people claiming to be from Benin .

Two highly placed traditional Rulers inDelta State, the Asagba of Asaba, Professor J.C. Edozien CFR; JP., and the Obi of Owa in Ika North Local Government, Dr. E.O. Efeizomor II OON; JP., have stressed the need for Ndigbo, no matter the geopolitical location in which they are based, to be united in the quest for Ndi-Igbo to again become relevant in Nigeria in particular and the world in general.



Professor Edozien made the remarks when he granted audience to a delegation of IWA, ASA World, CISA and EIC.



The traditional Ruler, a former academician, who received the delegation with a retinue of his fully attired members of cabinet, said that although Asaba people were located in the south south geopolitical zone, “most of my subjects hail from Nteje in Oyi Local Government of Anambra State”.



Professor Edozien noted that "nothing could be achieved by Ndigbo unless unity prevailed among members of the ethnic group irrespective of the geopolitical zone in which they are based”.



He appealed to IWA to work assiduously to resolve the crisis in World Igbo Congress, WIC, and, thereafter "IWA, WIC, ASA World, CISA, EIC and other Ndi-Igbo associations in the diaspora should pool their resources together to uplift the welfare of Ndi-Igbo”.



The Asagba expressed delight over the efforts of IWA, ASA World, CISA and EIC to project, through the museum on Igbo Village to be opened on September 17, 2010 in Stanton , Virginia in the United States of America , the contributions of Ndi-Igbo to one of the major civilizations in modern history.



Friday March 19



On his own part, the Obi of Owa in Ika North Local Government of Delta State, Dr. E.O. Efeizomor II OON; J.P., said that research had traced the origin of Ika people to the Nris of Anambra State.



Dr. Efeizomor II who has been on the throne for fifty years, said that what was significant about the research was that it was conducted by Ika intellectuals.



The traditional Ruler said that although the “Ikas were making spirited efforts to identify and relate with Ndi-Igbos in the South East geopolitical zone, the efforts were not being reciprocated, hence a few Ikas have reservations over their affinity with Ndi-Igbo”.



The Obi of Owa presented to members of the IWA delegation a book to buttress his assertion that Ikas were, according to him, “proud Ndi-Igbo of Nri ancestry”.



Dr. Efeizomor II said that the entire Ika traditional institution was happy to participate in the Igbo Day that was held in Owerri on September 29, 2009 adding that “Ika people look forward to joining our brothers and sisters in taking part in more Ndi-Igbo activities in future”.

Ok you have answered my Agbor /Ika question ,what of that of Ebu migrating from Awka so it means some part of Anambra speaks Igala? I would have thought that Ebu migrated from somewhere in Benue because of the language but what do I know?

According to a dummy such as you, "great zik says they are Benin". Yet the great Zik I knew claimed to be true son of Igbo. Are you not dumb to have failed to balance the equation that Anioma people are Igbo even few dumbasses claimed to be immigrants from Benin?

Bros I shall disappoint you on this proposal. I cannot simply embark on journey on a wrong road. Nigeria is a man-made wrong road to any destination. My grandpa once told me that a deaf need not to be told that market is in session.

Why Ndigbo‘s honouring Obi, Ihejirika Nnaji, others — Anya

TO encourage the younger generation to go for excellence against all odds, Ndigbo in Lagos, will on May 10 honour immediate past governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, and eight other Igbo sons and daughter who distinguished themselves in the service of the nation, Professor Anya O. Anya, has said.
Anya, who is the president of Ndigbo Lagos and a delegate to the ongoing National Conference, said they were honouring Obi and others because “we have in decades past witnessed many NigeriaN men and women who left office without leveraging opportunities of their positions to positively impact on the nation and communities they served.”
Holding in Lagos, the event, which will be chaired by Chief Emeka Anyaoku, with Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, as the royal father of the day, will have in attendance the governors of Abia, Anambra, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states as guests of honour.
Others to be honoured are General Azubuike Ihejirika (former Chief of Army Staff), Admiral Dele Ezeoba (former Chief of Naval Staff), Professor Bath Nnaji (former Minister of Power), Princess Stella Oduah (former Aviation Minister), Mr. Reginald Chika Stanley (former PPPRA Executive Secretary), Mr. Reginald Ihejiahi (Managing Director,CEO of Fidelity Bank), Mr. Chima Ibeneche (former Managing Director, NLNG) and Mr. Ken Igbokwe (former managing partner, Pricewater Hous
Anya said:  “Former Governor Peter Obi not only brought the discipline and prudence of corporate governance in top public service but through the simplicity of his lifestyle removed the pernicious ogre of domineering arrogance which others in such positions have been identified with over these years.
“General Azubuike Ihejirika and Admiral Dele Ezeoba are proud officers and gentlemen who even as they respectively commanded the Nigerian army and Nigerian Navy over the last few years brought humility, loyalty and dignity to the service of their fatherland.
“Professor Bath Nnaji was not only the trailblazer in appreciating the lead role of the private sector in power development in Nigeria. As the founder of Geometric Power Company and former Federal Minister of Power, Professor Nnaji more than any other person has redefined the industry.”
Professor Anya also spoke glowingly of Mr. Reginald Chika Stanley, in his role as the executive secretary of the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency, PPPRA, and Chima Ibeneche’s stint as the chief executive of the NLNG
Reginald Ihejiahi, Ken Igbokwe’s tenures as chief executives of Fidelity Bank and Price Waterhouse Coopers respectively were also highly profiled, while Princess Stella Oduah, for her impact on Nigeria, and opening up the South-East to world aviation, also received adulation.
