Astromania: even d Asaba sef is dominantly Igbo, everybody know dat one. So it'll only make sense to add it to its SouthEast brothers.
My mum's Family lives in Asaba, so i do enter Asaba frequently & i must say it's an Igbo land. Even in their government primary schools d pupils communicate with Igbo language.
My younger brother left Lagos to go & School in Asaba (reason was to be close to my Grandma & help her cos everyone was in Uni @Awka). When dis boy returned 4rm Asaba he was speaking fluent Igbo more than all of us.
But i doubt they will ever agree to remove Asaba as d capital of Delta & use Warri instead,, because Asaba is becoming massively developed & new projects springing up... owning to Igbos of course. So i don't know if d State government will like to give up those giant feats already achieved in Asaba.
It's bern demand for a 6th state for the southeast since 1996, not demand for a 6th Igbo state. Anioma is in the Southsouth. You can't use sentiments to take away what belongs to the southeast and give it to the Southsouth. Okay?
potent5: They are only trying to take away what rightfully should belong to Southeast and the southeastersers are not seeing it, because of the manipulation of their desire to have one igbo nation.
Many IPOB separatists in the southeast thought that by giving them Anioma as sixth state for the southeast, it increases their advantages for restoration of Biafra. They don't understand that there is a manipulation to take away what belongs to the southeast and create a 7th southsouth state. Ned Nwoko is rather acting to reduce political representation in Abuja for people of the southeast through his tricks of create Anioma as sixth state for the southeast
Sen Akpabio, you wish to create a 7th state for the Southsouth. Anioma is in the Southsouth. What the southeast demands is a sixth state to be created in the southeast. That's why the Anim state proposal is imperative.
Artiiclebeast: This is confusing and difficult to comprehend or believe.
Did he pack his bags himself and truly load them with the narcos, or was he taken advantage of with a promise of vacationing abroad?
If he is directly culpable in this, it is a huge shame on him. I have zero pity for him; I pray that he rots in jail for the remainder of his life for his choices, even at such an age.
What is he still looking for at 74 that he hasn't accomplished all these years?
11KG.
Whoever did this, in case this older man was taken advantage of, is the true definition of an "Enemy". It could turn out to be his children or other close family.
This old man may not be the correct culprit. NDLEA needs to widen its nest for the real culprits.
Nairaland and writing Igbo names on drugs trafficking stories, e de sweet dem. They want to tell the world that only Igbos of Nigeria engage in drug trafficking. Nairaland wants to tell the world that every Igbo who is rich must be a drug trafficking baron. Stupeeeed mindset.
Dalohad: Okay, Imo State has been with APC for eleven years now, yet the Ihiala-Orlu road is the worst road in the entire southern Nigeria, the only Federal road with potholes that can swallow 911 trucks, and bushes growing on the middle of the road.
When is APC fixing it?
Orlu zone politicians brought APC to the southeast.
But no one federal government development institution exists in Orlu zone.
The federal Immigration school in Orlu was closed down, yet to be returned.
The southeast deserves a sixth state. PBAT's chances shall also increase with a 6th state in the southeast. SE increased the asking since the last two years.
Even if it's 100% poverty brought by APC, ethnoreligious bigots will still vote APC to continue and possibly bring the poverty to 1000%. Nigeria is a special country.
The type of strange Islam practiced in Nigeria is hinged on desire by the Islamists to take total control of Nigeria and its mineral resources in the south.
Guestmale: Though improper dressing that's suggestive is ungodly but then it behoves of you to control yourself and it's not a matter of promulgating any special law either religious or secular against it.
If you find yourself being tempted and always having urge to commit immorality because of what your eyes behold turn to Jesus to give you grace to overcome the temptation.He give grace to overcome any kind of temptations.
Lust is sinful. It's even written in the Holy book. When one looks at someone with lust in them, they have committed a sin. Op must have been committing sins of lust while looking at women's dressing.
Hmm. See this village person. Who gave you the audacity to prescribe what women should wear or not wear? Under what constitution will you base your prescription? You no get job.
He was subdued by unarmed people. If it were in Nigeria, every body in the classroom would lie flat on the ground praying that the bullet doesn't hit them.
Alas, the gun man would kill as many as he could or even kill everyone in the room.
muykem: Those are the bodies in charge of world economy. They have both skills and knowledge to focast and measure. I know that you believe Peter Obi a third class in philosophy than IMF and world bank.
You are playing politics with the lives of your kids and kinsmen who no longer afford one meal a day, have no access to treated running water and cannot afford hospital treatment since Bola Tinubu started with his ill-advised and anti people political reforms in 2023.
Peter Obi trounced Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election until the election umpire truncated the 2022 Electoral Act and used obnoxious methods to award victory to Tinubu..
Peter Obi shall trounce Tinubu again in a free and fair election.
The reforms have achieved its objectives so far: more than a million Nigerians had died from wants and diseases since Tinubu's reforms started. Till today, Nigeria's public hospital doctors are not working. More deaths envisaged. Do black lives matter?
truthhurtsnaira: Great Job Ned…. This is what useless no name and confused “Rivers” people like Amaechi and Wike are suppose to be championing yet they are touts and criminals….
Don't be deceived by Ned. His actual name is Chinedu but he removed Chi from his name to avoid being seen as Igbo.
If by any miracle today Ned gets Anioma as sixth SE state, by tomorrow, Anioma people and Ned shall tell you that Anioma is in the Southsouth; most of the Aniomas shsll tell you they are not Igbos.
Ezeama400: Igbos are not united, now we are uniting rivers of tears begins to flow ..
Well, you can deceive yourself online with fake narratives to be happy and Cry from now till tomorrow, it won’t change the reality offline .. Igbos are united, and will remain so..
God bless Anioma! God bless Igbo Nation !
Anioma state is for the Southsouth.
Anim state is the state the southeasterners adopted as the sixth SE state. There's nothing like reunification of Igbos through making Anioma become the sixth SE state If you make Anioma become the sixth SE state, you have further reduced political representation in Abuja for people of the present southeast. That smart Alec senator who is still pushing for Anioma as sixth SE state knows the disadvantages to the southeast.
naptu2: Mr Peter Obi answered questions from his followers on social media yesterday night. One of the followers asked him how he would solve the problem of insecurity. She said that it has gotten worse since the last election.
Peter Obi told her that he was on a British Airways flight a long time ago when he was governor and that a Lagos State official was on the same flight. He said that she wanted to use the toilet, but it was messed up, so she came back. He said that he went to the toilet and by the time she went to the toilet again it had been cleaned.
He said that the Lagos State official told a minister and other people about what happened.
