Boy you have cried enough with your trial on making Imo & Anambra unviable. This might just be a time you may just round it up and call it a day boy, cause Anambra people sounds so impertubed & unmoved with this your bittered wailing. Save your time & kids & go engage in more profitable ventures

MY BROTHER, I'M NOT YOUR PROBLEM AND NEITHER IGBO PROBLEM.


ASK YOURSELF, WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT IGBO IS SO DIFFICULT? IT IS IGBO MAN MAKING IT DIFFICULT OUT OF GREED.


IT WAS THE SAMETHING WHEN OBASANJO WAS PRESIDENT, THE MINUTE HE OFFERED SE SENATE PRESIDENT, ALL OF YOU START FALLING OVER YOURSELF TO BE SENATE PRESIDENT. THE SE ENDED WITH 4 SENATE PRESIDENT IN ONE TERM.



U ARE DOING THE SAME AGAIN, THEY HAVE OFFERED YOU AN EXTRA STATE BECAUSE THEY ARE PLANNING ON GIVING THEMSELVES MORE STATE.


WHAT HAVE THE SE REGION DONE? U ARE DEMANDING ADADA STATE, ABA STATE, ORLU STATE, ANIOMA STATE , ETITI STATE.


AGAIN U DONT HAVE A COMMON FRONT OR RALLYING POINT. MEANING POLITICALLY, U ARE EMPTY AND HAVE NO AGENDA AND A STATE IS A POLITICAL CREATION. HOW DO U EXPECT OTHER REGIONS TO VIEW THE IGBO MAN?


I HAVE ADVICE U PEOPLE ENOUGH, DO WHATEVA IT IS THAT U ARE GOING TO DO AND HOWEVER U ARE GOING TO DO.


SOON THE IGBO RACE WILL BE THE SIZE OF ANAMBRA STATE , WHEN EVERYBODY WILL GRADUALLY BE CLAIMING THEY ARE NOT IGBO AND LEAVING.

You are mistaken. It's Aba State, but the desire to erase the Ngwa identity led the Eastern leadership to block any attempts to create Aba State.
They cited concerns that the Ngwa people might deny the Igbo identity and revive issues like the abandoned property problem in Aba. While the Ngwa now identify as Igbo, it hasn't always been the case.
The same applies to places like Arochuku (formally Aro Obasi Ibom), Abiriba, Itumbuzo, Asa, Ndoki, and in fact, the majority of Abians trace their origins to the Ibibio and Efik peoples.
I wouldn't be surprised if ancient Ibibio territory included parts of Imo State, given that the name Imo (Imoh) is of Ibibio/Efik origin. Its variant is Umoh

You can thank Owelle for blocking the secession clause that Awo and Ahmadu Bello proposed.

By the way, I have no problems with whoever wants to break away

(particularly now that Peter Obi post an election) doing so, I was just calling you out on using UK as an example of harmony.

If you want to breakaway, Nairaland is not where to complain if you haven't spoken to your Senators about them at least proposing a bill.

Finally, maybe Kanu shouldn't be urging people of other tribes to be killed and locations in ala Yoruba to be destroyed etc in his quest for secession, that's on him though.

aswani:
You are quite wrong, why do you think there were problems in Northern Ireland not too long ago that it took the Americans and the good Friday agreement to help resolve?

Why are the Scottish National Party (until these last elections) and Plaid Cymru gaining ground.

Exactly because England (ergo Westminster) are not listening to the regions.

For a recent example, Scotland's "share" of the Brexit referendum suggested they wanted to stay in Europe and they are still angry till today that they haved to follow England/Westminster who opted to leave.

Find a better example for your agitation, the UK isn't a good one.

Last year, I saw a white man in shorts and roundneck around Holy Ghost in Enugu. I say white man but the man was so tan he was basically ORANGE.

The level of comfort and ease with which he navigated the busy Holy Ghost area and his colour told me this guy has MORE Nigerian in him than some Nigeria.

Nigeria has INSANELY good weather and AMAZING landscapes. While weathers in most developed vacillate from COLD as a mortuary in winter and HOT like something competing with hell in summer, Nigeria has a fairly MILD weather.

If not for our DEVILISH politicians and the general WICKEDNESS of the average Nigerian, Nigeria would have been heaven on earth.

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.
