This is an eye-opener. What is the source?

Afam4eva:

If you're from the Onitsha axis, they'll tell you that you're Anioma with links to bini

Personally, if i had my way, we should just cut off everyone from Delta and Rivers state. This insults are just too much. We have left more pressing issues to give some insignificant small groups the effrontery to act more important than they are. I've started becoming very wary of any so called Igboid person from Delta or Rivers state.

Ngozi123:


Nope. Everyone I know from that region is a proud Igbo person, both within and without my family. Some people may act like that but not all .

Can you imagine me of all people denying my Igbo heritage? No way.

invisibeTroll:


The original settlers of Onitsha were part of the Umu Ezechima. The Aniocha/Oshimili despite links to Bini over time through war and other influences have no problem identifying with the Igbos. The Ukwuani's can be funny at times but the denial is more among the Ikas.

To me, the entire Anioma can be generally grouped as Igbos or Ibos. The annoying ones, who the Igbos should be wary of are the Ikwerres, their aggressive denial, evident way back in the civil war and their daily denials shows they can not be fully trusted. They speak Igbo, live like Igbos but deny being one. Those from Bonny and Opobo, on the other hand speak Igbo, used as the main language for trade then but still retain their Igbani identity in their names, Chieftaincy title, their House style common among the Ijaws.

give me your email let me contact you.

The Anioma people are a conurbation of various ethnicities in Northern Delta State who came together under the Anioma umbrella. Anioma is an acronym for Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika, and Oshimili (ANIO). The "Ma" is used a common suffix used in all the languages. Through this process of acronymy, a word "Anioma" was derived by Dennis Osadebay of Asaba (former premier of Mid-Western State now comprising Delta and Edo States) to mean "good land"!

The various ethnic groups comprising Anioma all have Benin and Igbo heritage and their cultural hybridity makes them distinct and unique. The languages spoken in Aniomaland are Igboid save for Enuani (Asaba/Ogwashi-Uku and environs) which is considered to be a pure Igbo dialect. However, culturally, the Anioma people have a lot of similarities with the Edoid groups such as Urhobo-Isoko, Bini, Esan, etc. Some of these similarities manifest strongly in the Ukwuani and Ika ethnic groups.

I came across a writup on the naming system of the Anioma people on Facebook (Proudly Anioma page) and I decided to share it here so that everyone can be educated on Anioma onomastics. See it below:






So what do you think? Are you an Anioma person? Add more names and their roots!

Anioma kwenu!
Anioma wadoo!

Let us appreciate the Anioma culture!! Say no to tribalism!
