Karanka:

you're not doing your people any good.
When Igbos agitate for their own independent nation,you should know how to make your input without outright falsehood that might come biting you in the behind.
You say no part of Igboland was sliced off,yet there are obvious indigenous Igbos living in all the SS you can't just wish away.
If Igbos get their independent nation and these their kins in the SS are not joined with them,it will be the loss of people like you and your kinsmen who have been opposing it always,because other Igbos will flood your SS and dominate you due to the presence of their kins there.
Your best bet would be to propose for these indigenous Igbos in SS to be joined with the Igbos in SE.
I hope I'm clear enough.

Most ibos in SS are migrant by the way!
Don't forget the Anioma's ibo (Aniocha/Oshimili) were part of the Midwestern that was formerly part of the Western Nigeria? Hence, tell me how the part of the SE, which was formerly part of the Eastern region was carved into Delta state, a former Midwestern state?
The Oyigbo people were migrants too! You can't just demand for people's state just because your people migrated to the said place! For instance, Nigeria can't just demand for the part of Brazil that has Yoruba population because they happened to migrate there and form a community of their own! Same way the Korea can't demand for the part of Norway that has the Asia semitic people!
The only area that was part of the SE region, which got carved into SS is likely the Egbema district!

Firstly,
I must commend the writer of this piece for being honest...his name says he's efik(of which I may be wrong) but am sure he's Mmoño
Secondly,
Throughout the 4000years of Igbo history on earth,we've not colonized nor imposed through war our culture and language on others...any opposing view should present evidence to the contrary
Thirdly,
Contrary to what a particular "Gbazakwin" would want the noble people of NL to believe,Gowon did a very nasty job in the creation of Rivers state. Adding the Igbos of ahoada division to Rivers state was uncalled for... The Ijo divisions of degema, brass and Western Ijo were enough to be a "Rivers" state,but bkos of the oil present in ahoada division,Nigeria preferred to have the Igbos as serfs rather than have them bring progress to the most populous black nation on earth. As if stealing ahoada division and Anioma province from the East central state wasn't enough, they went ahead to steal oyigbo and southern egbema in 1976 when it was known that these areas were brimming with crude too
Lemme stop here for now...

LOL!
Which Anioma was stolen from the East? Were they part of the Eastern Region in the first place?
Yeye!

Anioma was added to Western region in 1939, prior to that, they had nothing whatsoever to do with Yorubas, Yes Anioma was stolen from the Eastern region in 1939 and added to Western region in 1939, and many of their prominent kings protested against that separation.

Which Anioma was stolen? Have you forgotten this Anioma is at the opposite side of River Niger!
Anioma were never part of the 0eastern region to begin with!

I have noticed that even the niger deltans dont brag about oil like ****. Is it your oil? Is the oil not the reason why you are doing everything possible to drag south south into your biafra?

As far as im concerned Niger deltans are the only people that contribute to the nation and thats not because of their activities but because of the gift of nature.

Throughout Nigeria's' history gej is the most corrupt leader ever and he isnt even ashamed of saying it. From how much did jim nwobodo stole to mere stealing is not corruption

Don't be silly! Gej is more corrupt that your depraved criminal brothers who left Nigeria in a shambles? It will be nearly impossible for the country not to divide eventually, especially with splatters of disgusting tribal hateful comments from people like you!

Yes, Anioma was never a part of Eastern Nigeria, but it was known as Western Igboland by the colonials and was one with the Eastern Igboland in a Southern Nigerian protectorate that had no Yorubas in it.

It wasn't until later that Yorubaland then known as colony of Lagos was added to Southern Nigeria,which until then had no Yorubas.

It was from this new southern Nigeria now containing the alien Yorubas that the southern Nigeria was once again divided into two in 1939, but rather than return everything to default state, ie separating Yorubas from southern Nigeria again, Bourdillion for economic purposes decided to cut a portion of the old Southern Nigeria and added to Yorubaland and renamed Western Nigeria, while the rest of Southern Nigeria was renamed Eastern Nigeria.

That was how Western Igboland was separated from Eastern Igboland and added to Yorubaland and renamed Western Nigeria in 1939, a move prominent Western Igbo kings( Obis of Aboh, Idumuje- Igboko, and Agbor) fought against, insisting that they had nothing in common with Yorubas but rather should be reunited with Eastern Igboland in Eastern Nigeria.

Thank me later for the history lesson.

And oh, river Niger mean nothing, it's rather a uniting factor between Western and Eastern Igboland.

The fact is that these ibo (Aniocha/Oshimili) migrated to that place after crossing the R. Niger!

abduljabbar4:
They keep on saying that they dont need oil but they do almost everything possible to drag the South South into their imaginary country. Since the Niger deltans dont want you, why cant you just take your 5 ibo dominated state since you are industrious as you claim?

some how,they are right...at the beginning there was only a northern region and southern region...

but the igbos are too power hungry,thats why the southern region keeps on breaking and breaking...the northern regions still indentifie today as northern regions......igbos right-to-rule mentality keeps on splittering the southern regions....except make them preach peace,they are only preaching hate and confusion..

woman that tie two wrappers....yoruba women dont tie too wrappers??...which type of twisted logic is that...??

ss should separate clearly from the se...middle belt should separate from se too...

then we can watch how even se will splinter in pieces too.......

They are not right. Southern Nigeria was British arrangement. We(SS ethnic groups) never told the British to create that nonsense.

"Our Igbo origin has never been in doubt before and after Civil War. Anioma people were known as Western Igbos before the Amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914. And in 1939, the Obi of Agbor, Obi of Idumuje-Ugboko and the Obi of Aboh, for themselves and the entire Western Igbo people, petitioned the Colonial Administration for carving out the Western Igbos from their Kits and Kins East of the Niger. Consequently, in 1956, Western Igbo leaders organized the AMA1 conferences where it was resolved that the answer to the political problems of the Western Igbos was to create a West Niger Igbo State with the Headquarters at ALIDINMA. The agitation for the creation of the West Niger Igbo State assumed the name ANIOMA after the civil war".

To be frank I don't like perspicacious peeps like you joining issues with turncoats like barcanista...you should've allowed him wallow in his self declared stupidity
The presence of those SS Igbos has helped the SE quite a lot..in as much as we regret their continued presence in that phantom SS. Good enough we've created bayelsa as an Ijo homeland for the Ijo nation, thereby leaving Rivers as a territory on which Igboid tribes like iwheruoha, igbani, opobo, ogba, ekpāhia etc can express themselves fully without intimidation from children of the sea.

Brother you people should stop arguing about the Igboness of the Anioma people with ths Odour people. There founding father (Odour) was too dirty and smelly to the extend that they gave him the name ODOUR and threw him down from the sky.
