AuschwitzPrefec:
A confidential report of 15 October 1967 recorded that “as the Biafrans retreated from Benin to Agbor, they killed all the men, women and children they could find who were not Igbos. The town of Abudu, one of the larger places between Agbor and Benin lost virtually of its population with the exception of a small proportion that fled into the bush”. Anthony Charles Stephens, an expatriate teacher from Britain, was killed when he refused to surrender his car to the retreating Biafran forces. Father Coleman, an Irish priest, said before Biafran troops left Agbor “without a fight”, they killed off most of “non-Ibo men, women and children.”


This was the same scenario as Biafran troops retreated from the coastal and minority regions in the SS.

In a border town with present day Abia, non Ibos were slaughtered to bear extinction.

In the torture and horror chambers that had become notorious as detention centres operated by the occupying Biafran forces, retreating Biafran troops made sure to murder the remaining unfortunate inmates in their cells. In one such biafran detention centre in present day Akwa Ibom ,that was used as a torture and killing centre of wholly minority civilians whom the biafrans had no liking to, all over 200 inmates were shot before the retreat.


Madness.

Trash, keep on cooking lies. During the Biafran war, was there anything like SS?

What do you want to gain with these lies.
It was the federal forces that was innocent Biafran citizens in Asaba, Aba and Ikot ekpene. So where is this your new story of Biafran soldiers committing genocide in Audu and Akwa ibom coming from?

Kalvan50:
I’m writing a history book, and I have tried and not been successful at finding any renowned Ibos written about in precolonial West African history. I have numerous exemplary examples from Yorubas and Hausas. Please no tribalism. Any Igbos willing to help out? I’ll make sure I send you a copy of my book once completed.

Also, Jaja of Opobo was not Igbo.

You are not serious with your last statement. If Jaja is not an Igbo where was he from?

Opobo and Bonny were established by Igbo traders most of the communities in Opobo, Bonny and Okirika were established by Igbo chiefs. If you will be bias like this it show that you are not ready to get any information.

1. Olaudah Equiano
2. Oko Jumbo of Bonny
3. Jaja of Opobo
4. Okujiagu and Ojimba his brother of Okirika
5. The Chiefs of Aro that fought the whites.

RuggedSniper:
^^^The 1931 population census of Ibos is LESS THAN the 1921 population census figure of Ibos. The 1921 skewed/lower Yoruba population is HIGHER as of 1931! These attached 1921 and 1931 census figures tallies with what you posted! NOTE: The 1921,1931 and 1952 census figures under British rule are FLAWED and the 1952 census was even CANCELED. So the embarassing high census figures being quoted by Ibos on NL is FALSE! The Nigerian "NIN" can be used just like the U.S. social security number is effectively used to know how many people exist.

If the NIN will ever be used that means your yansh will be exposed. Igbo still remain the largest in Nigeria even to this present time. That is why you can see them everywhere in Nigeria in large numbers.

You're delusional:
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/06/state-creation-cttee-settles-for-ugwuaku-state/
Half the local government of the Orlu Senatorial zone rejected Njaba statehood. Except you think the only reason they rejected it is because of the name (which would be an absurd claim), that was de facto rejection of Orlu state. You can keep dreaming about Nnewi South.

I can't dwell on this information. It is a political craft. Every Orlu man or woman want Orlu state not minding the boundary or the name. And it will be created with their kins in the other side of the boundary called Anambra state. Every state in southeast is just a political boundary not a cultural boundary. And truly, I don't have time for this unnecessary argument online that can not yield anything in the real life politics.

I think I've said everything I have to say about this state issue. And don't have to be flopping on it. The truth is that the creation of this present Anambra state in 1991 and the wrong information they started feeding their children have done more harm than good to ndi Igbo. Always thinking that everything good must 1st come to Anambra or be identified with Anambra before going to any other Igbo state. And also the use of claim that Anambra state is a monolithic state to brainwash their indigenes in order to make them see themselves as being different from other Igbo States whereas it is not true. Our history before 1976 should be consulted and the dialects and culture spoken and practised by every clan in Igbo land should be used as yardstick to judge who they are and who is their brother.

I don't see the rational behind the notion that isu in Anambra is different from Isu from IMO state and Orsu in Imo state is different from Orsu in Anambra state. Is it that there is no elder in the land?

The sixth state by fairness, justice and equity should come from Imo and Anambra and the capital must be in the Imo part of the state considering the population in these areas. But considering what we are hearing now that Orsumenyi and ihittennasa or Orsuihitteukwa are not brothers because they are in different states I think Anambra part of the proposed state should be allowed to be except if our elders will have different stand from mine.

No state in Igbo land has a single tribe in it even in Anioma in Delta state. Orlu has been an Orlu name and does not belong to a particular town or people. Even the town called Orlu is occupied halfly by Isu and halfly by Orsu tribes of Igbo. And the majority of the area called Orlu today was part of Onitsha province and the Orlu division then contained majority of the people in Anambra south. So how can someone said that they can not be part of something they have been part of before, only that politics desolved the boundary and put them in two different states.

Onitsha Wikipedia still recognised Orlu as part of greater Onitsha metropolis remembering her old and initial boundary. Pls let the people from these areas speak for themselves not someone from far away area.

millionaireman:


People like you who display hate and distort the course of justice die early. You can be thinking of the next thing to write as a trailer knocks you into the gutter. I keep my promise to keep you busy here 24/7.
Your man from Mba5 paid off by Ohakim to distort the course of justice died shortly after his talk of Njaba state proposal losing signature in his kangaroo committee. Ohakim lost reelection bid.
Kwontinue until you meet your...

I am in support of anybody dying. They shall live and be disgraced alive. My problem is let them stop creating false information here and making it to look like truth. Don't be surprised that many of them are not Igbo. The informations they are putting here with false crafted evidence are not true. There has never been anytime any core Orlu block rejected the creation of any form of Orlu state, even Ihiala and Nnewi south has never done that. Orlu state has always been the plan since 1976.

When Sen. Arthur Nzeribe thwarted the move to create Orlu state with Orashi state movement from the same zone claiming that he was not duly consulted. The proponents of Orlu state retorted to change of name (Njaba, a name of the major river in the zone) to unify all state agitation in the zone. The initial arrangement is always Orlu state.

Lunatic come with your numerous monikers to cause nuisance here. I don't have your time and will not respond you again. Your argument is always baseless and look more like a programmed robot.

This online stuff won't change any fact, the truth is that Imo state is the best in everything in the southeast with fact and figure no argument. You made mention of Airpeace, do you know how many airlines Jafac invested on?

Pls remove Arthur Eze from the list of the billionaires, he is just a political begga.r or contractor and anytime he is patronized he will come and show off for people to know that he is existing. What is his known business?

Coscharis was just an importer like Lupal in Orlu, or Anyaehi of Nkwerre.

I mentioned names and I said that their products are known allover Nigeria and beyond. Counter it with proof not using different monikers and be typing nonsense, going off the point. The only name I took from your list is Alley Onyema (owner, Airpeace) other ones to me are taking as your normal chest beating.

You are richer than Imo state, your state is smaller than Imo state, and you have population more than Imo state but Imo state is more built up and more developed than you, then what does that tell you? It shows that Imo is doing far better than you.

You agreed that Imolites are plenty in Anambra and are doing well but no Anambra person resides in Imo. Yes I can still further tell you that Imolites developed their state, Abia state, Anambra state and are doing well in all parts of Nigeria meaning that they are the real developers and don't make noise like you.

They are the most traveled in the whole of Nigeria. Their airport is the 4th busiest airport in Nigeria and the number one in southeast.

Oga respect Imo state and worship Orlu people, these people are truly blessing to ndi Igbo.

Unbiased1:


Good write-up and nice to see that Imo state natives are doing well but this is not enough reason to create Orlu state. Anambra state will not be split to form any other state so the earlier you forget about Orlu state, the better for your state of mind.

Orlu is the oldest state creation movement currently in the southeast and must be created as the 6th state in the southeast. It is long overdue. And must be created out of the old Onitsha province and will be home for all Isu and Orsu divided in between Imo and Anambra states.

Orlu was and is still integral part of greater Onitsha or Onitsha province and southern Anambra is an integral part of Orlu. So let the case rest and wait for our elders to decide.

1st and 2nd evidence that Onitsha still recognized her people and strength as an old province that included all of them.

In the first picture, they mentioned northern Imo state referring to Orlu. While in the 2nd picture, they mentioned Orlu directly.

In the creation of old Imo and Anambra states, Onitsha knows her boundary was tampered and her strength was reduced into Imo and Anambra states. And small children born yesterday will come online and be talking rubbish they don't know. If Onitsha will be given opportunity, it will look for a way to unite her people. And my greatest happiness is that new states in southeast will be created by elders who understand our people and our land not unguilded children like you people.

They already know the template and will not come and seek for your opinion on Nairaland.

The area called Orlu was once under Onitsha province and the areas that are included in the Orlu state were once under Orlu division.

0bjpmb:
My greatest anger with you is that you are from Abia that everyone knows to be the worst and most backward state in Nigeria. Now you posted a stat please show us the ranking of your backward useless state in that ranking ?

Now let’s bring the argument between Anambra and the backward imo state. Anambra has three major cities that all individually have bigger economy than Owerri. Anambra has more population than imo state. So does issue of built up not clear to you that Anambra is by far more developed and even more built than imo state ?

Again , there’s no imo family that doesn’t have one or two family members living in Onitsha, but you can never find anyone from Anambra living in Owerri or anywhere in imo state .

Anambra has overall far better infrastructures than imo state.

Anambra has better schools than imo state.

Anambra has better hospitals than imo state.

Anambra has by far richer indigenes than imo state.
Anambra has more cities than imo state.

Anambra has continued to perform far better than imo state in education.

Anambra leads the igboland in all facets of development. That’s why you ediots wants a part of Anambra to form your useless Orlu state but we are not interested. Abia and imo state which are the two most useless states in southern Nigeria should go form the new state .

We know your plan is to weaken Anambra through state creation but we shall never let it happen. Envious bitter frustrated people, always envious of Anambra .

You know I don't like responding to you because you are useless and lunatic. And secondly, you are not Igbo but only claiming Anambra to foster division among Igbos.

I've bursted you with your Igbo fake identity before and you accepted that you are not Igbo but just love Anambra with passion.

I don't do senseless argument and that's why I hardly respond you. I provided accurate evidence to support my argument but you are just ranting words without fact.
*Who are the Anambra billionaires?
*What are they producing or what service are they rendering?
*Is their product well known in Nigeria?

One bad thing about Anambra is that when one of their sons makes it and build a mansion at home and buy one expensive car they will all run to Internet to celebrate him and his achievement, and tell the whole world how the person is the richest person in Igbo land and the 4th richest in Nigeria as if they are competing with anybody whereas the person might not have any known product he produces or services he renders.

If you don't know it, know it that Imo state has the highest number of billionaires in Igbo land but are silent.
*Know it that Imo state is the richest state in Igbo land and the 5th richest in Nigeria.
*Know it that Imo state is the most developed state in Igbo land and the 2nd most developed in Nigeria after Lagos.
*Know it that Imo state is the most educated state in Igbo land and Nigeria at large.
*Know it that Imo has the highest number of higher institutions in Igbo land.
*Know it that Imo state has more constructed roads in the whole southeast.

Thank God you said that Anambra has more population than Imo state then Imo state being more built up and developed is an indication that Imo is doing far better than Anambra and the indigenes are richer than those of Anambra. Orlu people were the person that taught ndi Anambra business. Anambra learnt business of late but pride and chest beating made it to be seen as if they have been there since time immemorial. The foremost Igbo business men are either Isu, Orsu, Obowo, or Aro. King Jaja was an Isu from Orlu. Chief Oko Jumbo was from Obowo. Chief Ojimba and Okujiagu were from Arochukwu. Chief Wakamma was from Umuahia.

The 1st rich man from this present Anambra area was from Isu clan (i.e, Nnewi). Go and ask Igbo elders questions about Orlu people they will tell you. Orlus were the 1st to discover business. Go and study Amaigbo, Akokwa, Nkwerre, Oguta, Amucha, Ihioma, Uruala, Obodoukwu, Okwelle, Osina, Umuaka, Amaifeke, etc or better go and listen to songs sang by Oliver d'coque and Osadebe in late 70, 80s and 90s.

Imo and Orlu is not your mate. The first Igbo man to set up indigenous car manufacturing plant in Nigeria was Ezekiel Izuogu from Orlu but his plant was set ablaze which was suspected to have been done by military administration.

If you are asked to list billionaires from Anambra state you will be mentioning people that have no popular products or small boys like Obi cubana and E-money whose businesses are not popular.

Guy richmen from Imo state past and present were/are well known in the whole of Nigeria with their products popularly known in Nigerian markets. Some of them are:
1. Jaja of Opobo
2. Chief Oko jumbo of Bonny
3. Chief Ezekiel Izuogu
4. Chief Arthur Nzeribe
5. Paschal Dozie (big shareholder in MTN and owner of defunct Diamond bank)
6. Leo Stanley Ekeh (Owner of Zenox computer, USA)
7. Chief Rochas Okorocha (Roche company and founder, Rochas foundation nationwide)
8. Chief Anthony Ezenna (owner, Orange drug)
9. Chief Chidi Idika (Owner, Jafac group of company)
10. Late Chief Marcel Nnakwe, Akukaria 1 of Obibi Ochasi (one time richest man in the whole of Onitsha, go and ask question)
11. Chinedu Echeruo (Owner, Hopstop, New York, USA)
12. Chief Festus Odumegwu (Highest shareholder in Nigerian Brewery)
*Owner of Tommy Tommy noodles in Nnewi is from Imo state
*The owner of Kotec company in Nnewi is from Imo state. There are many secret billionaires in Imo state. And Imolites hardly make noise with their names.

You will always claim that Anambra has nothing in common with Imo state, that Anambra state is a monotheistic state but have you consulted Nnewi man whether north or south, Ihiala man, Aguata man or Orumba ma. These are pure Isu and Orsu people and their real kins are in Orlu zone of Imo state. Orsumenyi and Ihiala man can tell you better. Orlu was once under Onitsha province while greater chunk of these areas I mentioned were part of Orlu division.

If Anambra and Onitsha have nothing in common with Orlu why will they include Orlu area as part of Onitsha suburb or greater Onitsha city. Oga, as you are not Igbo please go and study Igbo more before coming out here to disgrace yourself.

And the 6th Igbo state from southeast must come from Imo and Anambra. Igbos has procedure of doing things (i.e, Odinala) and will not allow it to be distorted to avert conflict and disunity. Anambra is not a monolithic state as you claimed and must be touched. Go and study the people that are living on the boundary of the two states.

Ofodirinwa:
The fact that some of the Igala people in Anambra are now learning about Orlu people is funny. Wait till they learn who owns over 80% of the buildings in Onitsha

My brother are you minding them. Orlu has been created already. Leave them to continue ranting. Igala people will come and be telling us about Igbo land. In Igbo land we have a template for state creation and the next one will be between Imo and Anambra.

Look at how they are claiming that Anambra is a monolithic state. Where does that happen? Anambra contains chunk of Isu and Orsu. And in the southeast, they put different people together in same state if they still want to use monolithic to support their argument. Let them stop telling us this lies of monolithic state. I wish our leaders, elders and politicians will hear and see this so that they act fast.

Unbiased1:


Did you write this under the influence of hard drugs? What is stopping these Orlu indigenes from developing Orlu? Anambra state's capital is Awka but it has Onitsha as it's largest commercial city and Nnewi as it's indigenous industrial capital. What is stopping Orlu indigenes from turning Orlu into the industrial or commercial capital of Imo state? By 2027, Orlu zone would have ruled Imo state for 16 straight years and yet you guys still blame others for your undevelopment. Orlu state will not include any part of Anambra and that bill will be trashed at 2nd reading. You guys should respect yourselves.

How can you say that Orlu is underdeveloped? You have come again with all these nonsense you say online. Let us hear words. Is Anambra more developed than Imo state?

Upon the fact that Anambra is smaller than Imo state but Imo state is more developed than Anambra, so what are you trying to say?

Imo is richer and more developed than Anambra by fact.

So use the fact below to confirm.

cadmanspize:
Orlu state creation is driven of convetousness of Orlu people. After years of rulling imo, na to dey cry marginalisation. Dead Aim.

Is like you are a small child? Orlu state movement has been since 1976. Go and ask question. I don't have time for this online argument which will not change anything. Let's just wait to the end of it.

0bjpmb:
Miserable dirty Aba p1g, stop smoking the filth in Aba, no part of Anambra shall be part of your useless Orlu state. Anambra is supporting Anioma. So you know that Anambra has nothing to offer except business but you are happy to have them in your useless state because you know they have billionaires. Ewu, what is Orlu ,Orlu, etc bringing to the table aside poverty and backwardness. Mumu there’s no part of Anambra that’s interested in joining you people in your Orlu state. There’s no town that’s interested in leaving a monolithic state like Anambra to a useless state you clowns are bandying around.

Anambra is a monolithic state and so shall it be. We know you guys evil plan is to partition Anambra so that you will rejoice and go home and sleep in peace, because right now Anambra has a monolithic state is giving you envious bitter frustrated people sleepless night .,

Abia and imo state should create the new state , Anambra is not interested

Chai, I pity for you because it is quite obvious that you are having mental and psychological problem. It is a known fact that Orlu people are the richest Igbo and the first to discover trading in west Africa. They are the pure Isu and Orsu. They are divided unequally into Imo and Anambra. They are the ones that occupied Orlu zone and some parts of Okigwe and Mbano in Imo state, Isuochi and Isukwuato in Abia state, Ihiala, Nnewi, Aguatta and Orumba in Anambra state and Igbouzo and Ogwashi ukwu in Delta.

You don't want Orlu state because you know that some of them or even all in Anambra state will be carved into the new state thereby making Anambra state to because empty. What has Anambra state offered to these people carved into it? Rather it is these people that are investing heavily to this ungrateful and unprogressive state.

You know that the creation of Orlu state will lead to fall of Onitsha and that is what majority of you want to trickishly prevent by working against Orlu state. Those Orlu indigenes who are doing extremely well in Onitsha will relocate their businesses and pharmaceutical industries to Orlu town.


Anambra state is very stagnant and the least progressive state in the whole of southeastern states. Stop being foolish and ginger your government to work and develop the state and stop thinking that defending it online will change people's narrative about it. That state is a disgrace. Anytime people travel to Anambra state and come back to north they will always tell us how noisy cheat beating we are, that nothing is in our place. That Anambra state that supposed to be the leading Igbo state is urgly, disorganized and lack good roads. But when they travel to Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi and come back they will be shouting and asking us what are we doing in the north since our places are developed? That it is only small thing that separated us from developed countries of Europe. That our cities are planned, beautiful, well kept and contain more of high and beautiful storey buildings.

Guy wake up, Anambra as a state is a disgrace to Igbo land. The most disorganized state I've ever seen. And the indigenes will be online defending something that when you travel to it, it becomes crystal clear to you.
Is this not foolishness. Keep on attacking Imo, trying to paint it black online while we keep on making progress.

You can't keep telling Nigerians that Imo people are poor while in every city they know and see Orlu people's achievement and keep on asking questions about Orlu people. Orlu people are the richest in Aba and Onitsha cities. Go and conduct your research.

Onyechimereze:
I have discovered the problem with Anambra low level ranters is that most of their villages have no identity of its own. So they all converge under Anambra and use it to camouflage their inferiority complex. Very pathetic
What a very angry bunch

You are on point bro.

Objectivist04:

Lol, it will be easier for a camel to go through a needle than for Orlu state to become a reality.

Why did I say so ?
Do you even realize that the current governors of both imo and Anambra fall into the proposed state ?

Are you now saying that Soludo and Uzodimma should step down as governors of their respective states and go back to Orlu state or the creation should wait till after Soludo' s second tenure in 2030 ?

How can you propose a state that will see two serving governors becoming none indigenes in the states they hold sway ?

So in your mind both Soludo and Uzodimma will support Orlu state so they can step down as governors of Anambra and imo respectively and come and become ordinary citizens in the new state ?
Or they can continue with governing their states even when they are no longer indigenes of those states ? Ok , if they are to continue with their current states ( as one must not be an indigene to govern a state ) and a governor is elected for the new Orlu state won't that make Orlu state to have 3 indigenous serving governors ?

I don't see this flying unless they should wait till 2030 after both Uzodimma and Soludo must have been through with their two terms but then , the Anioma state which is more popular might just size the opportunity
.

gov. Mbadinuju and gov. Udenwa supported it before. And had it been it was created, both of them would have fallen in the same state. Sen. Hope Uzodimma and Sen. Chris Ngige supported it and Hope Uzodimma knew what would have been his fate if the state was created then. So if Gov. Hope and Gov. Soludo fall into the new state they know how to settles their scores.

And pls we are not forcing anybody. Any Anambra community that doesn't want to be part of the state should be carved out. The real people in Anambra that will be part of the new state know themselves. Anambra has nothing to offer aside business. Those Orsu and Isu clans in Anambra state since the creation, what have they benefitted from the state if not them removing from their sweat to give the state. Brother, shun this fantastic pride, Anambra has nothing and nothing to offer.

Only that her citizens love defending it even when they know that there is nothing in the state apart from their hard earned sweat invested in it. Orlu will provide them with many better opportunities and reintegrate them with their Orsu and Isu kins in Imo state. The new state will be the new pride of southeast as 70% of Igbo known billionaires will fall in the new state. The new state will be the moving training as over 70% of Anambra billionaires from either from Isu or Orsu clan of the state likewise in Imo state will fall in the new state.

Cjrane2:


Nobody is against a 6th State for the Southeast region. Nobody is even against your Orlu state from Orlu zone of Imo state. But you must learn to stop acting like you are smarter than everybody else in the world when indeed you are not. Orlu people always consider everyone else to be stupid except themselves! One thing the Owerri zone often complains about the Orlu people is that they are very sneaky, always trying to cheat, and always thinking that they are faster than their shadow.

So you truly want to put illustrious Igbo cities like Nnewi, Ozubulu, and Ihiala under Orlu but you wouldn't even consult them or offer any of them the capital of the new state as something in the whole deal for them? You just want to use them to achieve your dubious Orlu state and then maltreat them later inside the so-called "Orlu" state where they will always be reminded that they are Ndi-Ijekebe?

Watch the video of the Federal Representative from Nnewi and Ozubulu blasting the sneaky promoters of "Orlu" state for trying to include Nnewi and other major towns in Anambra under Orlu without even consulting them!

This is trash from a wise fool. Orlu people don't have the character you posted here. You are a liar and be mindful of what you post on social media. This is a blackmail to a whole tribe. That Hon. member will not smell house again for going against the aspirations of ndi Igbo.

gariepinus:
Ozubulu and Okija can never be part of anything called Orlu state.. never..we are Anambra people..we love our state so much...our people reject anything called Orlu state..that name is dead on arrival.. imagine adding Ozubulu and Okija so called Orlu state... Anambra is not too big..pls leave us alone.. carry Ur Orlu state and go...we are Anambra people... rubbish..

Who are you, who is seeking for your opinion? Are you a king from any of the communities you said?

When Anambra was created first in 1976, did anybody seek your opinion on where to place Ozubulu and Okija? You are nobody in this context. The issue has been finalised and if you don't like it go to court. Okija and co was under Orlu division and must be part of Orlu state.

It marvels me how some unguided fools take Anambra to be a subethnic group in Igbo land and wish never to divide it upon the huge population of the state. Stop acting like a low class human. The people who know the template for state creation in the southeast have already started their work and will soon finish it. Ohaneze and ndi Eze are aware of this template.

No state in southeast was created on tribal line, the first two states that were created out of the East central state were created on the context of balancing population between the two new states, IMO and Anambra. Which at the end they still had slightly two unequal populations.

Children of nowadays, due unphathoned reason or pride started seeing Anambra as a subtribe whereas no two clan in Anambra speak the same dialects. Those of them that were under Orlu division like Ihiala, Nnewi south, Aguata and co originally speak Orlu.

Your attitude is one of the reason our elders and leaders are considering and are bent on dividing Anambra. We don't want to have another Ikwerre in the nearest future. This is how it all started. Being proud of having Portharcourt as their own, discovery of oil in their land added more to the pride, developing a unique sense of identity, and using civil war as excuse to separate completely which we are still battling to integrate back to fold.

Before the presentation of that bill in the lower chamber there was due consultation before going to seek for the support of other members from other zones. Your governor, senators and Hon. members were aware. And they know the procedure or template for new state creation in Southeast. After the creation of Ebonyi state east of the southeast between Enugu and Abia states the next new state will be created West of the southeast between Imo and Anambra state and the capital will be located in the Imo area of the state just as the capital of Ebonyi state is being located in the Enugu area of the state.


See your myopic and unwise reasoning, not considering the benefit attached to state creation. Upon the huge population located between Imo and Anambra you still want them to remain under the two different states. Go back to your school and demand for repay.


Finally, nobody is seeking for your opinion. Hon. Ugochinyere Imo has done what the Igbo elders and leaders asked him to do and the process has already begun and an ordinary man like you can not stop it because you are nobody. Your feeling of pride can not stop the progress of Igbo and all these areas in Anambra that will be part of the new state knows their Origin and cultural affinity not someone from Idemili, Onitsha or northern part of the state.


This new state wasn't the brainchild of Hon. Ugochinyere but that of Igbo elders and leaders, they only sent him for a message and he delivered it well. Ihiala, Nnewi south, Aguata and Orumba are willing and eager to be part of the new state. Their reps were there when the bill passed the first reading and up to now they have not said anything and you are on nairaland disturbing yourself.

I thought you said Anambra is a great state, so what will carving out of 5 LGAs do to a state known to be great whereas Imo state that is going to lose 16 LGAs has not complained anything or are you trying to tell us that the greatness of Anambra state lies within the Orlu area of the state. Don't be enemy of progress, this people from Anambra south want to be part of Niger delta as the National Assembly refused Anambra as a whole.

Ijaws that are hardly seen outside their land is bigger than Igbo that is seen in all part of the world. Ijaw people are very funny.

Do your study and criticise my work with fact not considering what you read as an object of childish display.

What I wrote there, is there no relationship between the two languages and the comparison of the two languages not in order?
Pls tell me the origin of:
1. Una ----- people
2. E don tee ----- it's been long
3. Nna men ----- men
4. E dey ----- it is
5. Oyibo ----- fair person.

You and your audio friends are liars from the gate of hell Oga .. I repeat Uyo is now light years ahead of the dirty dusty smelling town both in residential building and in all ramifications . we dey talk of two cities , you dey bring tribe (igbos) come in , you get sense atall..

Oga, leave this thing you are saying here. In terms of roads and flyovers I can tell you that Uyo is better than Owerri but in terms of structures and general beauty, Owerri is far ahead of Uyo. You and I know that Uyo is scanty with good structures and it's not well planned while Owerri is well planned and fully built up.

Instagtam celebrity Mr Jollof Says Tinubu does not need South East and South South Votes to Win the 2023 elections. According to him, Tinubu holds the regions he needs very strongly and it is not the best interest of South East and South South to align with the winning team.

Then he is going nowhere. Obi wins.

pls this 17 oil which state was collecting the revenue or controlling it before

Rivers state was collecting the revenue before. The community like Akri is in Imo state but the oil wells were ceded to Rivers state by the federal government for a reason best known to them. Later, federal government decided to reallocate them back to Imo state and Rivers state under Wike went to court to reclaim them.

The supreme court used 1967 and 1976, the old Owerri and Rivers province to give it judgment meaning that Obigbo and Omuma should equally be returned to Abia state.

Igbo is the poorest tribe in Nigeria....
No single ibo son worth 1 billions dollars...
Just mention 7 multinationals company own by ibo son....

No ibo state that can beat ibadan in terms of development....
Let's compare both with video and pictures.... Come out with your best nyamiri....

Keep on deceiving yourself. Posting pictures of Lagos and calling them Ibadan.

Apart from Lagos, every other south west city is a slum. Envy, jealousy and hatred against igbos will not allow you to accept that igbos are doing well.

I am done here.

Obamaofusa:


The people known for growth and development even before the inception of Nigeria and until now are the Yorubas.
Igbos have always been backward and barbaric even before they were lumped with the great Yoruba nation by Lugard.
Save for few buildings built by non Yorubas including Igbos,Yorubas own 80% of the properties in Lagos.Yorubas built the roads,markets,infrastructures etc.

70% land in SE gone to erosion.Slums take 10% and brownroofs take 10%.
With 10% remaining land in SE Igboland and your numerous brownroofs,there has never been anybody who uses Igboland and development in the same sentence.Ibadan city will always be more developed than the entire SE Igboland.

Continue deceiving yourself. Every Nigerian knows that Igbos are known for growth, development, progress, resilience, intelligence, riches, smartness, dynamism, and tolerance compared to Yorubas they know for mumurism, envy, jealousy, dirtiness, backwardness, cunning, and untrustworthiness.

Everybody wants to associate with an Igbo man including you because we are the light. You can't come to our place and go back empty stomach, you can't have problem and come to us and go back without having at least little. But most Yoruba men are stingy always looking for who to cheat and eat from his pot or pocket.
