They are naturally backwards and regressive. Other regions ,especially the SW, are talking restructuring, regional Autonomy, restructuring, Star policing, modern ranching for livestock and so many many productive and forward-thinking idea while Igbo leaders are graveyard silent and hiding under their desk.

When they do speak, it is to talk of State creation that is as redundant as a 1945 black and white TV that weighs more than a human being . They are just a big, hideous joke. No wonder Igbos are leaving the SE in droves daily.

The south east don't need another state. They are already cheating other regions with their five tiny states that can collectively fit into one state in other regions. For example, the 5 states can all fit into Oyo state. Niger state can swallow those five states, five times. Igbos think they can outsmart others with this ridiculous demand of a sixth state, it is just a ploy to cry marginalization in order to get more patronage from the federal government. If there is a new state that needs to be created in Nigeria, it is only Southern Kaduna, at least to compensate the Gbagyi for taking FCT from them.

The whole of the South East region is smaller than Borno, or almost the same size as Oyo state.

I remember when port hat out youths forced you to get your Ndigbo day out of their city. The SS normally does not like you due to land grabbing manners and the shege you showed them during Biafrian war despite all the attachments by force and unity begging 😂

If to say FG want to balance it, South East don't deserve more than 4 States at most. Hong LGA in Adamawa State alone is bigger than Abia. Niger can swallow Abia+Anambra+Akwa and any two more LG in Imo. Better carry your charge and bale lawyers go dey do property agents

Christlike01:
This fat pig again! From which land do you want the FG to carve out the so called "6th state" ? The whole of your five states - Abia,Anambra,Ebonyi,Enugu and Imo is same size as Oyo state alone. Now, let's check this out:

Anambra = 4,844 square kilometers
Imo = 5,5300 square kilometers
Abia = 6,320 square kilometers
Enugu = 7,161 square kilometers
Ebonyi= 5,670 square kilometers

Total = 29,525 square kilometers ( South East)

Oyo state = 28,454 square kilometers.

From the above,injustice is when Oyo state,same size as the entire South East,has just 1 Governor and 3 Senators only while South East has 5 Governors and 15 senators ! This means that Oyo State is being marginalized by the Federal Government! If South East must have an additional one more state,then 2 or 3 states must be carved out of Oyo state too!

By the way,we thought Biafra was the ultimate goal,why this crazy demand for a "6th state" in "zoo"?! Mtchew,bunch of self inflated,empty braggarts from the pit of hell!

We need Anioma state in Delta state. We're no ibos and can never be joined with those Fulani infested people of ijaw, ishekiri and urhobo. Ibos should stay clear from us we are not part of them and will never be part of their unending struggles be warned

Normally, comments such as yours are the comments that I ignore and give no attention to but because it might mislead the ignorant, that’s why I’m gonna address it.

First, nowhere in the entire communique did Ohaneze demand that the 6th state must be carved out of Delta and Rivers State; nowhere at all. Or where did you see that?

Again, there are proposed states from the existing 5 Southeastern States some of which are Adada State to be created majorly from Enugu State with capital in Nsukka. Another one is Etiti State that would have a part carved out from every part of the existing 5 Southeastern States with Capital in Okigwe. So, the Southeast is not insisting on carving out a state for themselves from Rivers and Delta.

With that said, the Anioma people of Delta North are Igbos and have never denied that since the time of the Civil War till this day.

The Anioma people - Ukwuani, Ika, etc - have no affinity with Bini. Not in culture, not in language, not in food, not in anything. The former governor of Delta State and PDP Vice Presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Ifeanyi Okowa attested to this on a national television. So, I wonder where that “affinity with their Bendel brothers” is coming from.

Similarly, in Rivers, people of Obigbo (Oyigbo 👎) are Igbo people that have never denied being Igbo.

Furthermore, we have Etche People, Ndoni, Bonny, who do not have identity crisis and have never denied being Igbo.

Even in Ikwerre, where identity crisis is prevalent, not every Ikwerre deny his Igbo root and heritage. The former Minister of Transportation and former Governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi, attested to this fact on a national television where he clearly stated that he’s Igbo and no one can take his Igbo heritage from him.

So, where is this your claim coming from?

Why do you lots devote so much time in trying to tell Igbos of Delta and Rivers that they are not Igbos while you never expend same energy in telling Yorubas of Kogi and Kwara that they are not Yorubas, why?

TheRealestGuy:


How much revenue has states like Osun, Jigawa and Kogi added to the FAAC in the last 16 years?

Do you not understand that all the other 5 regions have more representation in the Senate and HOR due to this lingering imbalance? Or you just want to display your Igbophobia on the Internet?

DeepThroater:


I blame Gowon and Gowon only.

If he had halted the war after the liberation of the annexed SS , all these rubbish no go dey .

Instead they are still hell bent on colonising us and believe that even the SS states are not the beneficial of their own oil well , instead it should be them under the Colonial drawn map of blighted old yeast with Enugu as the sole beneficiary.



These people will never ever stop their land grabbing attempts into the SS.

Anioma is NOT ethnically MONOLITHIC, so cannot be fully called Ibo. I have been reading about the fascinating history of the various folks that make up the Delta North area since the 1980s and I have friends from there.

Anioma is historically made up of communities or towns that were founded within the last 600 years or a little more by migrants who came from several ethnicities such as Bini-Edo, Esan-Edo, Yoruba, Igala, Nri, etc. Some communities also have mixed settlements with different quarters housing migrants in specific towns. Igala-associated communities such as Ebu (Agatha Amata is paternally from there), Asaba,
Illah, etc, exist.

The folks of Agbor have direct links with the Bini people and just a few years ago, the Dein of Agbor made a royal proclamation telling his subjects NOT to give Ibo names to their children because the Agbor or Ika folks have their own language. That story was posted here on NL.

Idumuje Unor in Aniocha North LGA was founded by Esan people or migrants with Idumuje being of Esan origin. Idumuje Ugboko folks also came from Idumuje Unor.

=>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idumuje-Unor


Several communities in Ikaland and Aniocha North LGA have founders and migrants from Bini, Esan, Yorubaland, etc. The Olukumis of Ugbodu, Eko Efun (Ukwu Nzu), have Yoruba forebears and founders. The traditional rulers of these Olukumis towns (in Aniocha North LGA where Onicha Ugbo, Onicha Olona, and Onicha Uku are also located with Issele-Uku serving as the LGA HQ) have been interviewed several times in the media and they clearly identified themselves as having Yoruba ancestries due to the fact that they belonged to Yoruba trading communities who left the Benin area due to upheavals their centuries ago and moved into the Esan area where they stayed for some years before migrating further to establish their new communities on virgin lands centuries back in what is now in Aniocha North LGA, an area close to the Delta State and Edo State borderlands.


The folks in each town or clan in Delta North of Delta State in Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika, Oshimili know full well their ancestries and historical links to these core migrant ethnicities that make up Anioma.

All the 5 plots of land they call states is just about the size of Ibadan.

Never seen set of people so disillusioned like these.



How did SS enter into the equation? You people are just so insecured that you must do attache by force.
