So employees are happy to work four days in d week and get paid for d entire week? What of employers? Are they also happy? Do u know how many businesses have withheld expansion into the SE cos of this evil forced sit at home? U think salary to pay employees comes from where? Revenue? Sit at home is shrinking revenue and with time they will start downsizing. Oh and an Anioma state won't be too different from Ondo, small derivation and they will struggle to pay minimum wage.

U say other regions will agree to give SE another state cos of equity. Really? In terms of population, SE is by far d smallest, also smallest by land mass but I don't even wanna go there. What matters most is population and by that SE is cheating both NW and SW. SE for d sake of equity doesn't even deserve to be a geopolitical zone, but fortunately zones are not recognized in d constitution.
Let me outline to u, u may not like hearing this but d north and SW holds d key in any constitutional amendment cos d law requires 2/3 votes in both chambers and then another concurrence in 24 states, 19 of which are in d north. Why should d NW agree to dilute it's majority by allowing an extra state even in d South? Politics is about interest, u should know they won't agree, this is just a waste of time. The process of state creation is so cumbersome that there is no need trying. David Mark was Senate President for 8yrs, he kept promising his Idoma people Apa state to end their marginalization in Benue. Could he achieve it? No. So how can okor Regina, a first term non ranking Senator achieve his phantom Anioma? Abegi, let's go and argue more serious issues

Depriest2020:
I don't know why Igbos politicians are wicked to their people.

How can you sand fill a road then put coal tar without stone base, no gutter.

gtown:
Let those children of perdition and hate start twisting this noble message from our amiable ex-president, even though the message is not for them but for Nigerians.

Ezewuzie01:
OK stay there and be deceiving yourself. We are watching to see how you will get the demented Orlu state to pass

Hope you have gotten Ohaji/egbema, Oguta and Owerri people to approve of it before crying to Anambra people for blessing?

Ezewuzie01:
I have been laughing at your posts all day. Bro you cannot divide Anambra. Anambra is the only homogeneous state in the southeast. As you may be aware, all four Anambra federal representatives from the bordering constituencies with Imo have strongly disassociated themselves from the demented idea of an Orlu state. Anambra people are very united and committed to a greater and more prosperous Anambra unlike Imo, Enugu Abia and Ebonyi states where different parts are bitterly agitating for a separate state or to be joined to a neighbouring state. Know this today that Anambra state is one forever and will never be divided. It is either Igbos pursue Anioma state or perish the thought of having a new state.

NwekereNdokl:
You are a bush man from timid nsukka. Anambra is a monolithic state. Why is that too bitter for you ediots inferior igbos to understand ?

Abagworo:
Nnewi is isu. Agbaja Isu and they're same stock as Orlu area originally who are also Isu and Agbaja Isu all the way to Okwelle. You Igbos should try and learn your true history and stop assuming based on government created artificial districts. Orlu itself was just a small Isu town that found favour of being a divisional headquarters by the Europeans. Nobody in Orlu zone is of any subgroup called Orlu. Present day Ihiala LGA on the other hand is mostly Orsu and Oru clan alongside parts of Orlu, Nnewi South and Oguta LGAs. Some Orsu towns can be easily identifiable through the prefix or suffix of "orsu" in their town names like Orsumoghu, Eziorsu, Orsuobodo, Orsuihiteukwa, Orsuimenyi etc but others are through dialect and cultural practise like masquerade. Orsu itself is also a hybrid of the Isu, Nri, Igala and other Igbo migrants from across River Niger. At the Eastern end is the Akokwa, Umuchu, Uga, Arondizuogu, Umunze etc who are mostly Isu, Nri and Aro/Ohafia/Abam mixed heritage. So all these arguments about monolithic zone doesn't make sense. When you come down to the South the Ohaji are just same stock as as parts of Oratta, Ogba and Ikwerre subgroups while the Oguta and Egbema comprise mostly Igbo migrants feom across River Niger mixed with Isu , Oru and Aro. Some communities like Izombe and Arondizuogu are majority of Aro heritage. Orlu zone is just a geopolitical zone created for administrative purposes cause if it was based solely on subgroup then places like Mbaitoli, Ikeduru, Onuimo, Mbanos would have been in same zone with their fellow Isu instead of being jammed with Okigwe Otanzu subgroups.

I am against State creation but it is important Igbos learn history and stop wallowing in ignorance. Anioma is good if it will be added to Southeast and help increase the voting strength and voice of Igbos.

Chikeluba25:
I am glad u have counter your own word. That's the beauty of proven fact.

Now you have swallow bk ur word, knowing fully well that there is nothing like Orlu origin, and that Anambra is one great family; Can you now go back and make peace/live in harmony with your Owerri, Okigwe, Orlu brothers as one great state (IMO) instead of trying to divide another person's home? If possible inspire/influence River state Igbos next to you like Anambra does with her neighbors. Atleast let them be proud to say "I am Igboman" anywhere they are like Anioma people of Delta state.

Daalu.

OnoVegasBlog:
Anambra is a monolithic state.. hence the unity in their state. The group you mentioned are not..
The Aba people never advocated for Abia state..
Go and read the history of Abia State and how some groups persuaded the federal government to create Abia State instead of Aba state..
Aba people (Ngwa and Ukwa) would have been better had it been the were marged with Etche and Mbaise...

Chikeluba25:
There is no Igbo grouping called Orlu state... And there is nothing like Orlu in the history and origin of Igbo. The Father of Igbo is Eri and Igbo ancestral home is Aguleri in Anambra. His house (Obu gad) Is till there till today. His 7 children are Aguleri, Igbariam, Nteje, Amanuke, Nsugbue and Nri... From there he enlarge his coast to Igboukwu, Anedo (Nnewi), Dunukofia. His first daughter "Iguedo" Begot Ogbunike (Okpala umu Iguedo), Umueri, Ika (Agburuika) in Onitsha, Awkuzu, Nteje Nando, all in Anambra.
Igbo staf of authority is in Nri (Nri ji offor Igbo) in Aniocha LGA of Anambra state.
I can go on and on with proof.
Have you seen why Anambra is more Igbo than Orlu.

NwekereNdokl:
Listen lemme warn you, if you don’t take your tantrums to your imo state thread, I will launch attack in that thread. Take your stoopid Orlu state to imo state. Anambra is a coinage from Omambala. Omambala existed even before Nigeria. Anambra is a monolithic state , no part of Anambra is interested in your useless state creation. Anambra can never be part of your Orlu state , the earlier you know this the better for you . There’s no single state agitation in Anambra and no town in Anambra wants to go out of Anambra . There’s no Anambra town that’s under Orlu parish not today and not before. Instead it was much of imo state that were in Anambra until it was carved to maintain original omambala. So stop spewing nonsense or this discussion will land in imo thread .

onumadu:
This is not true. At all. And that is because you have Nnewi North and South there too. You also have Ekwusigo LGA there too.
You may talk about Ihiala (I need to confirm this first though), but even that is a stretch.
And when talking about political/cultural things, please forget about the Catholic church districts.
We are talking about POLITICAL leanings, and you need to show me political proofs to support your view.
Most of them are also "Nri-Awka".
As I mentioned already, their representative at the national assembly is already kicking and screaming NO to the idea.
Until you get me politicians from the area supporting the idea, you are not landing any points.

NwekereNdokl:
You are very correct. Anambra is a monolithic state

Residents in a Nigerian neighborhood are outraged after some police officers were seen going door-to-door, demanding settlements. Footage captured by a resident shows officers peering through windows and asking people to come out and settle, though it is unclear what the settlements are for.

In the video, one resident can be heard asking, "Settlement for what exactly? Did we steal your money?" while refusing to open the door.

The incident has sparked fear and confusion among residents, who are questioning the legality of the officers' demands.

Mrexcell:
A governor from another zone might change this trend someday.

Mrexcell:
I have been thinking about this too am from imo state okigwe zone to be precise but wonder anytime I travel around imo why development is not getting to other zones except owerri zone.

onumadu:
I bolded the only justification you really have for breaking up people who don't want to be broken (Thank God that their own representative at the national assembly actually spoke out forcefully in support of my point, while you focus on OIL AND GAS).

When I said that the people are TYPICAL Anambra people, that is my point: We (Anambra people) don't focus on natural resources while making serious political decisions that cuts into sociocultural things that outlive political ones.

The people I mentioned believe in HUMAN resources (what they can do with their own hands and minds) more than oil and gas.
You can easily verify this point.

I would wait till their politicians and reps come out openly to support your view before conceding this point.
Meanwhile your gaslighting "Nazist-like" badge you are preparing for me won't stick.
Reduce your emotions, and maybe, just maybe you may see my point.

StreetFight:
Most qualified to lead Igbos, not Nigerians.

Electrochemistry:
Orlu state is dead on arrival like the level headed had already maintained and the sponsors lack moral credentials, maturity and competence for attempting to further miniaturized the existing states for the selfish interests of the greedy and the power thirsty.

God1000:
Mr Putin, your demands are ridiculous, Ukraine might consider dropping its bid for NATO membership for peace but withdrawing their soldiers from places annexed by Russia is impossible

Ezewuzie01:
Ewu how will you separate Onitsha from Obosi, Nkpor, Nsugbe, Nkwelle etc to add to Anioma? Onitsha is glued to Anambra for life.

Your wretched Orlu state is never going to happen. Anioma state has full Anambra support and they will get it.

Ezewuzie01:
It is interesting that the Ohaji people prefer to join Rivers state rather than remain in Imo state. Imo state must really be an unjust state that almost all its constituents want to run away from Owerri

The big question now is will Anioma, Ikwerre, and other igbos in other states like to rejoin their Eastern brothers ?

Can they accept it the way yorubas in Kogi and kwara will accept going back to south west ?

I couldn't give a shit whether Europeans show you anything and I will do whatever I want, it's not you that will tell me what to do.
