Golan007:
Say no to Orlu state.

Orlu loves you.
You are like saying say no to justice, say no to just representation of the SE in federal government, it's like say no to more development in ala Igbo. If not, where else do you want an extra state in the southeast if not in Orlu area, following the pattern of creating the old states in the southeast?
What do you think has been popping up Orlu/Njaba state since 2005 if not that Nigerians of superior intelligence know where an additional state for the southeast fits?

EreluRoz:
I'll always chose Atiku over that sneaky pretentious thief Onuku Peter Obi .

I like people who still play fair irrespective of their differences, that's how I am, I may not agree with someone but you'll catch me defending the person elsewhere and you'll wonder what type of person I am. Hatred doesn't penetrate my precious skin.

To those I'll mannered and untrained kids that'll laugh at this and spew nonsense you should relax and wait for what advanced age has in waiting for you, it is just a normal slip which could happen to anyone.

You are still not bothered by your Igbophobia which defines your choice of leaders for Nigeria? In a real country, Peter Obi was the most qualified of the foremost three presidential candidates in 2023. Na today? Pray for
those you people make hunger quench together with you in Nigeria.

Igbos Occupy Ohaobu Ndoki in Ukanafun LGA of Akwa Ibom. Watch through video below


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GIDPGIoYnE&pp=ygURT2hhb2J1IGFrd2FpIGlib20%3D

The old man said his Igbo Ndoki is supposed to be in Rivers state. He said his father told him that they came from Rivers state.
Someone will now ask for creation of Ndoki state to become part of the southeast zone, to reunite Igbos.

OfoIgbo:
The point is that no Anambra community wants to join any Orlu state.

An Ozubulu friend of mine didn't even know such a bill was being considered, and was totally against being seen as a non-Anambrarian. The vast majority of the Anambra people being earmarked for Orlu state have not really being consulted, and will not like the fact that they are no longer in the same state as other Anambrarians whom they feel more affinity towards, and resonate with the hardcore Igbo nature of the ordinary Anambrarian.

Anambra people are too Igbotic in their mindset that they will not appreciate being merged with Igbos they consider lightweight, who can easily be tricked by landgrabbing neighbouring tribes like Edo and Ijaw, into believing they are not Igbos. Count Anambra people out from such a union.

The point you are ignorant of is that politicians from this part of Anambra south jointly signed for Njaba State during the Obasanjo administration, and the same circumstances prevail today for the same Njaba now nicknamed Orlu State.
Don't be deceived by a few people that are not from Anambra state who have been writing rubbish here.
Most of the people from that part Anambra South have ancestral ties and speak similar Igbo dialect with people in many parts of Orlu senatorial district. Loads of the church parishes in this part of Anambra south even belong to Orlu Diocese today.
When you don't know much about an area, stop writing rubbish about the area

pazienza:
You are just an Orlu man more interested in having your small Orlu state than on Igbo overall interests.
Let me let you know now incase you don't.
The oldest state agitation in SE that hasn't been created is Adada state, so even if they are going to create a state from SE, who told you that Orlu will take pre-eminence? You think Nsukka people don't want that same parochial selfish benefit of state and development you want over there in Orlu?

I don't know why some of you can't be reasonable for once!

Anioma state is of importance to Ndiigbo. This is not about development or Nigerian politics, this is about our future as Ndiigbo in this planet earth!

Anioma doesn't need SS, it's SS that needs Anioma!
Anioma has humongous natural gas and crude oil in Ndokwa and Ukwuani axis. Further crude oil and gas have been discovered in Ika axis too! Anioma has the highest quality of human resources in the entire SS region. They are unparalleled, unmatched!
So nope, it's not Anioma that needs SS, its SS that needs Anioma!

Furthermore, being in SE is of Anioma best interest. It will help her solve the identity crisis issues and weed off the Bini and other Minorities expansionists that are sizing up their lands using few deluded ignorant efuluefus among them.

Anioma state in SE zone will bring Anioma home where it belongs, give her total control of her destiny in the midst of healthy Igbo kin and kiths who sees them as brothers and not as competition as is obtainable in the babelian region of a thousand ethnicities you call SS!

Everyone can see the moon from his hunt, yet elders insisted we all gathered in the village square to see it together.

Togetherness breeds organic unity and keeps hawks away.

Orlu senatorial district is about 3 times the size of your proposed Anioma State.
Orlu senatorial district is many times less developed than the area in your proposed Anioma State.
Demand for Njaba State, now called Orlu State, was there before IBB created Delta state with Asaba as capital; before Anioma and Adada demands for state.
Ohaneze NdIgbo which knows better the history of Igbo land and history of state creation in Igbo land adopted Njaba State, now renamed Orlu state, as the 6th state in the SE during the National Political Reforms Conference in 2006. Njaba State was about to be created before then Senate president, Nnamani, unconsciously discarded the baby with the bathtub in a hostility against 3rd term for Obasanjo.
You sell snake oil with your talk of reuniting Igbos through creating Anioma State for the SE. Igbo is united.
Enugu, Nsukka and Abakaliki senatorial zones were in Enugu State when Abakaliki zone was cut out of Enugu State for Ebonyi state.
Nsukka people asking for Adada state lost it when Abakaliki was cut out of Enugu State. No saner person can divide Enugu State again to get Adada state while Imo and Anambra states remain the same.
The senators from the SE zone are asking for a merited sixth state in the SE zone. A new state cut from Imo and Anambra states, or a new state from Imo gets it. Orlu senatorial zone made up of 12 LGAs and most underdeveloped part of Igbo land gets the nod for a 6th state in the SE

Lovelyn451:
i know youre always scared when u hear that other people wants to unite, but no one cares, its not about you now, it's about the Anioma child who wants to be called a South easterner

Anioma child you said. Correct.

But an average Anioma adult with good head (ishi kpakoro onu) knows that Anioma is better off in the oil rich SS than Anioma being part of the SE zone by mere creation of a state for Anioma people.
An average Igbo with good head in the SE knows that Igbo also in the SS region is a strategic advantage to the Igbos.
Some of you here needed to be taken to Kano under a tree for a little Talakawa boy to teach you Politics Nigeria 101.

mancanoe:
Distraction everywhere... These politician are agents of distraction.. Rather than focus on how to increase the minimum wage of Nigeria's worker's to a living wage they brought up regional government and state creation to distract the people... If state creation was that easy in a Democratic dispensation in Nigerian David Mark the then Senate president would have sailed through with his APA State creation out of Benue state...

Distraction. You got it!!!
This is how David Mark used promise of Apa state to win election for Senate for donkey years. Ha ha ha.

chibnnodi:
This is how a bill is articulated with sense of purpose, not the lawmaker's that proposed the Orlu state.

The purpose of creating states is primarily to extend development and belonging to all parts of Nigeria, not for ethnic chauvinism.
Development aspect: Asaba has developed to a greater extent from being the capital of Oil rich Delta state. So is Agbor, and even many other towns in Anioma area from oil rich Delta state.
But the area between Imo and Anambra states for which the Orlu state is being proposed is the most marginalised and underdeveloped in the SE zone. Because other sections of Anambra and Imo States outside the area where the Orlu state is being proposed, have always had in mind that a new state will be created in the area, hence hardly any government development infrastructures were allowed in the area of the proposed state. For example, Anambra state university was initially established in Uli by a gov of Anambra state from Uli area. But the main university was later shifted to another place because of belief that Uli would one day not be part of Anambra state. Is there any federal government institution that induce modern develooment in Ihialla, Anambra State?
In Imo state, all the 4 federal government tertiary education institutions were literally forced to be in Owerri zone because of the same belief that one day, Orlu zone will not be part of Imo state.

Lovelyn451:
define indigene?

Consult Google.

Lovelyn451:
This ned is highly intelligent....even rivers and akwaibom has igbos who can't wait to join South east, create from there and leave Anambra alone

There are Hausa-Fulani indigenes with native homelands in Kwara, Adamawa, and in other NC and NE states. NW zone is the main zone of Hausa-Fulani.
Do you create states for such Hausa-Fulani groups native outside the NW zone, to reunite them to the NW zone?
There are Yorubas with native homelands in Kwara and other NC states.
Do you create states for such Yorubas in order to reunite them to the SW zone?
Why would Nigeria create states for Igbos native in the SS to reunite them to the SE? Doesn't make sense.
The people using reuniting Igbos in Delta state with Igbos in the SE through creating Anioma State and join it to the SE, are pursuing their parochial agenda.

If this goes through, local government areas of Imo state outside Owerri state capital shall begin to breathe a sigh of relief. Use of funds of the other local governments in Imo state to expand and modernise only the state capital has led to crumbling of the other cities in Imo State. Those cities were nearly of the same level of urban development with Owerri when Imo state was created in 1976.

miscellaneous12:
I'm from Okpanam in Delta state and we have a family house in Asaba. I've not really thought about visiting the East until I saw these Igbo threads on Nairaland.

Your otherwise lengthy but innocuous comment here on 24/05/2024, the day you registered first on NL, can attract suspicions. If not, you have what could pass as good ideas.
But on Imo state, you get bored by the time some people dish out photos of every road junction in Owerri while knowledgeable ones question why Owerri city is the only place with modern urban infrastructures in Imo state.

Bragging over what most of Nigeria's population disagreed with.

Donaldoni:
Why does Islam permit marriage to relations

It's weird!

The Bible totally forbids it!!

Guess what makes Muslim offsprings impervious to anything not Islam. Pity the non Muslims they share one country with.

Use of public financed helicopter to jet traditional rulers around.

Tell president Tinubu to quickly start the process of Restructuring Nigerian politically, Tinubu is still waiting. One former Deputy governor of a SW state recently told Tinubu that if he did not start the process of restructure Nigeria politically before the next General election, he, Tinubu shall be a victim of the fraudulent political structure of Nigeria.

SaiOba:
This APChit people wanna burn Kano State politically not minding and caring about the way its gonna affect the Kano people and the respect they all have for their long age tradition.

The ill doings of that ugly corrupt Gandollar baffles the devil.

It's a very BIG shame.

Same thing APC has been doing to Rivers state.
APC with a no holds barred scheeming to retain apex political leadership of Nigeria is unprecedented. APC has no iota of sense of democratic succession in political offices.

The change is good. But political restructuring of Nigeria to True and Fiscal federalism should be uppermost in the minds of government.
Even if huge amount of proceeds from crude oil and gas deposits still goes to the central government, let it be, but let the regions or zones have a respite from the present suffocating unitary government system.

Arewa has adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal laws; let it become constitutional in Arewa regional constitution.

Let the oil producing regions, gold producing regions, seaport regions, agricultural regions of the Middle belt, enjoy what is in their regions but contribute an agreed percentage to the central government.
Let the regions or zones control their electricity, transport, education, police infrastructures.

√2 has coefficient of 1 sir.

Unless you skipped surds classes.

Therefore, you can add the coefficients.

I must confess, I didn't do Add Maths in high school. I did Maths 101 at the uni and passed with: 'let my people go.'

But I was too good in ordinary Maths. All along, I have been struggling to solve this equation with my knowledge of ordinary Maths.
Cheers.

Go and read the text before commenting.

Abuja Disco linesmen collect huge sums of money from electricity consumers to reconnect their disrupted electricity supply. Big shame. All because they see supply of electricity as favour to consumers.

So National grid has not collapsed in the last two months is now an achievement? There are no lows the APC will not take Nigeria to.

How could he have? Is he the governor of Kano State?

immortalcrown:
A vague statement.

Vague? Is it acceptable for an absentee Court judge to give orders in a case brought before him while he was in far away US?

A Nigerian took to social media to call out Wole Soyinka on his attack on the Labour Party Presidential Candidate for 2023, His Excellency Peter Obi.

In a 4-minute video, Ife Salako, who identifies as an Obidient, with a view of showing the hypocrisy in the Professor's words, beamed the light on some of the 'physically aggressive' and 'criminally minded' supporters the octogenarian shares a support base with.

He also touched on the life Wole Soyinka himself lived as a youth dissatisfied with the country, and the role played by cultism which he played a role in sowing the seeds in Nigeria.

Ife went on to suggest that the Professor's age may have inspired such 'juvenile' approach to issues and admonished him to not ruin the country further.

DWINDLING INCOME AND SUBSERVIENCE TO A POLITICIAN.
----------------------------------
What happened was that with the arrival of the Internet, Wole Soyinka's books were no longer yielding him enough funds to sustain his lifestyle. Soyinka resorted to Tinubu as financier.


It's common knowledge: Prof Wole Soyinka who serves Bola Ahmed Tinubu lured then Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, to join Tinubu’s alliance of APC. Rotimi Amaechi took the bait from who he saw as his revered professor and never looked back from joining Tinubu’s APC alliance.
Amaechi got used and dumped thereafter.
The political problems in Rivers state today is mostly rooted on Amaechi dumping the PDP that brought him to office for Tinubu/Soyinka's APC.

Soyinka here, and before now, is on 2027 presidential election for reelectoon of president Tinubu.

[
President Bola Tinubu has in the past advocated the adoption of the old National Anthem in place of the current anthem.
]

The same manner political restructuring of Nigeria is supposed to pass vruuuum in any political restructuring Conference.
Military dictators from Northern Nigeria did not even consult Nigerians when they wrongfully used land mass or population figures as yardstick to proliferate 20 new federating units in one northern region but allowed only 17 new federating units for two southern regions.
The 36 states and Abuja polotical structure assigned excess polotical and economic advantages to the old Northern region at the detriment of the two southern regions.


Bola Ahmed Tinubu crisscrossed the SW region for more than 15 years from 1999-2014 asking for political restructuring of Nigeria.

sylve11:
Sanusi Lamido is the Chief Master Fixer.

Sanusi is all about power to his north.
He was telling the world not to believe anything from the government led by Goodluck Jonathan, even as he was serving as CBN Governor under Jonathan govt. He also floated the story of missing 50 billion Naira oil money, all to denigrate Jonathan government, and revised the figures lower on two occasions. A forensic auditor had to be called in.
The fraudulent political structure of Nigeria with 20 new federating units created by northern military dictators in one northern region, but a meagre number of 17 new federating units for the two southern regions, is like an ammunition for the Sanusis of northern Nigeria to largely dictate who presides over Nigeria.
A former Deputy governor of one of the SW states recently said that Tinubu may become a victim of the fraudulent political structure of Nigeria in 2027 if Tinubu failed to have the political structure issues resolved before 2027.

A retired military General from the SS said about five years ago that Nigeria must be restructured either by PEACE or by FORCE. President Buhari replied that Nigeria's armed forces had been guarding Nigeria's democracy since 1999.
Tinubu moved all over the lands of the SW region between 1999-2013 canvassing for political restructuring of Nigeria.

U are a comedian...

U can always solve it the general maths way by just squaring both sides, open the bracket and still end up at the same 2 as answer....

Just scratching my head for you once again.
B

Bracket root X squared + root X squared. Bracket root 8 squared. Square both sides of the equation. You get root X squared times 2 + root X squared times 2. That gives you 4 root X squared. The other side of the equation gives you root 64 squared.
Cancel out the Square roots on both sides. You get 4X equal to 8. Therefore, X is equal to 2.

advanceDNA:

Okay, you instructed the common Mathematics method of squaring both sides and open the bracket.
Squaring root X + root X gives you root X squared.
Root X squared gives you back X . Therefore root X squared is equal to root 8 squared equal to 8. Since X is equal to 4, how did 4 equal to 8?
