How does the creation of Anioma State reduce FG's presence and representations accruing to Ndi Igbo? It baffles me that we always feign intelligence but from all ramifications, it seems like we are really lacking upstairs. Instead of pushing for all our Igbo brothers and sisters that were deliberately carved out from the SE and merged with the SS and NC so as to form that major political block and reclaim our stance as a major ethnic group, you guys are convulsing over Orlu State.

For all you advocates for Orlu State, et al., are you trying to say that by further partitioning your small region into bits and fragments because of the embedded greed of some of your political 'leaders' who, instead of distributing infrastructural developments so as to ensure that all nooks and crannies within the state gets developed, chose to concentrate all the developmental infrastructures within their own enclave at the detriment of the state, Ndi Igbo and the SE at large will be better served?

I am still trying to wrap my head around why a certain number of you guys would prefer splitting yourselves up instead of expanding into a much more powerful block. Has it ever crossed your minds that the carving out of our people into Benue, Delta, and Rivers States was deliberately done so as to reduce the bargaining power of the SE? Why do you guys think they often refer to the SE as 'Dot'? Now that an opportunity has presented itself for that additional state, even though we know that it is going to be an exercise in futility, you people, because of your own parochial interests, have started to derail the whole process by trying to make a state out of your villages.

The only state the SE needs for now is a state that will be acknowledged as our Igbo brethrens who, currently, are domiciled outside the SE region and are sure to be incorporated back into the Igbo fold. Any additional state that is to be created must not be for further partitioning of any of the 5 states within the SE but instead be one that pulls together all the Igbos from Benue, Kogi, Rivers, etc. For now, only Anioma State cuts it!

@hamner567: Osita Chidoka is from Obosi, Idemili which is Anambra central not north.
@Pandax: Soludoes' town is not included in any of the proposed new state.

Coming to Orlu State I don't think you guys have to give much attention to Amah70 come Kikake because his argument is last kick of a dying man. Orlu whatever has die a natural death. Any state creation outside Anioma state (without viable economy, human capital, and large oil deposit) is a dead trap by enemies of Igbo Development/ agenda, and any Igbo rep pushing for any state oder than Anioma is either suffering from infirioriy complex or a kindergarten house member who does not know his left from right; being used to distract Igbo long term development plan.
I mean what will non economic viable state in the middle of nowhere add to a region if not avenue for a small group of politicians to loot the nation common wealth. Are you creating a ghost state, Insurgency state? Even some states with all the allocations are still toping the chat of highest poverty rate, GDP below average.
If u think more need to be done in spreading Development to every nook and cranny of Ana-Igbo, U should push for creation of more local government. Yes.
Have you ever wondered why Anambra and Lagos (2 smallest Nigerian states) have more local government than their counterparts with bigger landmass?
Do u think think that local government allocation is a joke? Anambra Even went as far as grouping more economic viable local governments in twos (e.g Awka south 1&2, Ihiala 1&2, Onitsha, Nnewi...) therefore providing two Representatives in the state house in a bid to spread development.

A local government chairman may not be able to build capital infrastructures but he can develop human capital. Even a local government chairman that knows his onions can construct road... E.g Hon. ASHA, immediate past Idemili north local government chairman built roads.
Or do we talk about Hon. Chibueze Offorbike, current local government chairman of Aguata. We all are seeing the magic he is doing in human capital development and education sector.

You have been repeating this falsehood in every thread. Please rest. Anioma state is a much better option than Orlu state.

Oga, you need to see a psychiatrist. The way you keep disgracing yourself on this thread for several years calls for serious concerns.

Asking that development be taken to rural communities isn't the same thing as state creation. To develop rural communities, LGA must be independent of the state governors and LGA chairmen compelled by law to live in their domain.

That said, I maintain my position that South East doesn't need to divide its region any further to get another state. Anioma State should be created out of Delta and added to the SE region.

I won't reply you on this matter again....

Everyone wants to live in township because there is no government presence in rural communities. No social amenities in village, so everyone is running to urban centres.

pandax:
We do not want any unviable state in SE, think about resource control and not this our present resource allocation.
Besides, Aniomas are as much Igbo as SEners.
In fact, SE 7th State should be ORASHI, New Rivers/Port harcourt, ENOA and never ORLU, ETITI
Think IGWEBUIKE, Think ALAIGBO!

I have seen your lamentations in Imo thread of how Orlus are being marginalised in Imo State. I find it hard to believe as Orlu zone have the most LGAs in Imo (12 LGA) and have ruled Imo State more than Owerri and Okigwe Zones combined. It is akin to Northerners saying that they are being marginalized in Nigeria when they have ruled the Nation the most

Abia, Imo and my Anambra are the current hope of Igbos for Industrialization, Say no to Balkanization of any of them BIKO. Welcome Anioma to the gang instead, as they can compete in human resources like other SEners and cannot be a liability

pandax:
Please, we do not want any balkanization of Anambra. We support Anioma State to be the 6th SE State!

SmartPolician:
This boy, you should be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. If not, you go just enter dumpsite and start feasting on waste.

All SE parliamentarians pushing for an additional state in the region should jettison the idea and support Anioma State

Continue deceiving yourself. Tell me how creating a new state in the Southsouth will balance Southeast.

helinues:
If I am not mistaken, I have not been on any of this proposed states discussion

Anioma, Etiti and another one which I cant even remember, why cant those involved, affected by this new state creation whether by region or politics agree on just one single state which should be in SE .

Everything no be about politics oo. Equity and justice should give SE one additional state.

Namaster:
Tinubu needs to release a PREEMPTIVE statement to nip this nonsense in the bud.

The statement should let EVERYBODY know that Kanu is being tried for TREASON and TERRORISM. As such, ANYONE who advocates for him would be treated as a TERRORIST and a TRAITOR to the country.

And that the FULL WEIGHT of the Nigerian Constitution would be visited upon such people and their properties.

That should shut them up for good.

It's DISGUSTING to see these idiots expending energy on pursuing the release of a TERRORIST while their people still bear the burden of his TERRORISM every Monday.

Practically impossible create a new state in the SE. It may even be a strategy to thwart the Orlu state proposal and bring confusion to
kill any further balkanization of Igboland.

Augustine2244:
Lol! Another mission impossible! The bill has scaled first reading and that's alright.
Scaling second reading is another matter entirely, because no Anambra community will agree to be part of the so called Etiti state.
Concerning the long proposed Anioma state, which Sen Nwoko recently made an advocacy for, even some Anioma communities have opposed it.
These people should forget about it because state creation ended with the military regime.
