udeze, they would never create anioma state, the place have a population less than 1 million people. A beg let hear word. What do you think MEND would do , if the senators and reps refuse to create coastal state for them the Ijaw, Isoko and itsekiri people. If they create anioma state. MEND may blow up all the pipeline.

Why create trouble. Why create anioma state that does not have one single drop of oil. When the real owners of the own coastal state is not created. I do not think our senators and reps are that stupid , or are they. Coastal state have at least 8 times the population of anioma. Anioma would not happen Udeze. The only state that would be create for the igbos. The way I see it would be Oyigbo state, which would be the sixth state of the igbos. While the yorubas are ready to support you in that, if you support our removal into Benin republic. Dont worry we would still have senator and reps in nigeria. we would have dual citizen of benin and nigeria.

Dont blame yar adua. It is hard been a president. what yar adua need to do is create an atmosphere for customer service position. This is where more than 5 million nigeria youth can find a job. It may not pay big but something to start on.

You see electricity is vital to customer service. I have several company that would be willing to outsource thier service to nigeria. If we do not steal thier money. We speak better english than india . Sometime, white people find it easy to understand us than india but they have been getting the customer service outsource job. if I know where we can have 24 hour electricity. I know how to bring some company to nigeria. marketing is big in america. lot of money. electricity is the only thing stopping us.

Most nigerian in market would rather bring the business to nigeria. even if you pay people N50,000 per month they would be happy. company to how much we have to pay them over here for the same service.  but electricity is bad in nigeria.

why dont you people have human feeling for this man. You see, it is hard to resign. he want to finish the northern term. And it would hard to do.


What we ask for his to remove the yoruba, bendle and bayelsa into benin republic. we would have dual citizen , nigeria and benin. while Jonathan would be out of the way, he would offer a new position in benin. we would still have people in the senate.

Pray for this man. alway remember yar adua in your prayer. Look you dont have to like him. But you could be sick too. Anyone can be sick. Just leave him alone please.

Forget this anioma, i do not think it would happen. sorry, think Oyigbo state from rivers.


see one city from coastal state.

[edit] History
This region used to be a part of the defunct "Mid-West Region". It later became part of Bendel State, before Bendel State was split to form Edo and Delta states.


[edit] Geography and Climate

[edit] Location
The Isoko region is located in Delta State of modern Nigeria.


[edit] Local Climatic conditions
Isoko region is in the tropical rain forest area of the Niger-delta. The region experiences high rainfall and high humidity most of the year. The climate is equatorial and is marked by two distinct seasons. The Dry and Rainy seasons. The Dry season lasts from about November to April and is significantly marked by the cool "harmarttan" dusty haze from the north-east winds. The Rainy season spans May to October with a brief dry spell in August.


[edit] Towns in Isoko
Some major towns in Isoko region are:

Ada
Aradhe
Aviara
Bethel
Ellu
Emede
Emevor
Enhwe
Erowa

[edit] Economy
The main economic activity is food crop farming. And the staple food crops include cassava and yams. There is also the widespread production of palm oil and palm kernels. Limited amount of hunting and fishing is also done. Women form a large proportion of the farming population. They also engage in trade of food crops for cash to meet other basic household needs. On market days, it is common to see Isoko women peddling their assorted goods around neighboring villages.

Cassava is the source of most of the foods consumed by the Isoko people. Garri, starch meal (Ozi), Egu are cassava derivatives.

Food crop production has been declining rapidly recently. This has been largely attributed to soil damage resulting from frequent crude oil spills from pipelines belonging to some of the major oil producing companies (including Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), whose pipeline network transverse the landscape). This has led to large-scale frustrations with Shell Petroleum Development Company, and has resulted in skirmishes and, recently, kidnappings for ransom in some neighboring communities.


[edit] Demographics
There is no definitive population census figure on the region of Isoko and, indeed, most of Nigeria. The various Nigerian census figures have been controversial and are deemed unsupportable.[1]


[edit] Transport
Popular mode of transport is the motorcycle and bicycle. Inter-city travel is by bus or car.


[edit] Education
Several secondary schools and post-secondary schools exist in the region. The Isoko people know the value of education and encourage their young to attend school. The Isoko people have been known to be very passionate about location of education infrastructure in their communities, believing it is a mark of progress.

Early emphasis was on teacher-training schools and this led to a glut of teachers in the community. This is rapidly changing as opportunities offered by other professions are recognized.

Major post-primary educational institutions in the region include Notre Dame College, Ozoro; James Welch Grammar School, Emevor; Saint Joseph's Teacher's College, Ozoro; Saint Michael's College Oleh; Bribina Grammar School, Ozoro, and several more. Post-secondary schools include a campus of the Delta State University at Oleh and a Polytechnic at Ozoro.






The Early IPA
By Binaebi Oguoko
The early Ijo community in London evolved around the Ijaw People’s Association (IPA), which was founded in 1948 by the enlightened efforts of a few ordinary Ijo men. The main impetus came from Mr Young Kpiaye (Founding President of the IPA), He was not an educated man in the academic sense, but he had a keen sense of Ijo cultural and political awareness. He felt the need for an organisation that could bring the individuals and their families under one community umbrella. Thus the birth of the Ijaw People’s Association (IPA) of the United Kingdom & Ireland. He went around rallying and convincing the Ijaw men living in London at the time, on the need for an Ijaw organisation that could act as a cultural and social/welfare focus. It all started in Bethnal Green East London in the house of Mr James Ingobor (deceased). The original foundation members who had joined before 1957 include messrs; H A Ofiniama (1st secretary of the IPA from 1948-1965), Lawrence Okorodudu (18 years as president and 7 years as vice president), A Zitubo, M B Oguoko (chairman 1964), J K Okoro (foundation treasurer till 1967), Y Kpiaye (foundation President till 1967), Y K Mieboh, W Oloula, D Appiah, Stephen Okpokpo, M Kantel (foundation vice president till 1969, he later moved to Manchester), M Suwari, I Alagoa, M Abeki, P Kalabeke, L Enekeme, L E Okudu, P Norman, J Ingobor and C Ijebu. Others joined in the 1960’s onwards and include a wide cross section of Ijos drawn from the different parts of Ijawland.

The various occupations of the individuals who came to the UK at this time ranged from railway workers (engineers, examiners, labourers), factory workers and clerical staff. Many sought to improve their education by going to night school and college. Many of these early pioneers married from the local white community or went back to Nigeria to marry an Ijo wife. Most of the children of these marriages have grown-up and become full adults and form what is now known as the British born Ijo (Ijaw) community in London. Some are members of the present IPA.

The Ijo community the UK, from the late 1940’s took an interest in the political development of Nigeria. When the late Chief HR Dappa Biriye, as a young Barrister and representative of THE RIVERS PEOPLE & CHIEFS CONFERENCE representing the Ijos and Niger Delta Peoples, attended the 1957 Constitutional Conference, he met with the IPA of London at 40 Grove Road East London. He briefed them on the political developments of the time and the need for the Ijos to rise out of poverty and underdevelopment.

The Ijaw People’s Association is currently under the leadership of Mr Rowland Ekperi, the President.

I want to show which state is better to be created from delta state. Is it Anioma state or coastal state.
So we compare the coastal state for the Ijaw, Isoko and Itsekiri. with anioma
Coastal state when compare to anioma state, 


1 It as more than 10 times the population of Anioma state
2. It produce oil. and in large quatity.
3. This would resolve the issue of militias and oil crisis.
4 the land size is nearly 5 times of anioma








Lagos A leader of Itsekiri women, Mrs Rita Lori Ogbebor, yesterday called for the creation of a coastal atate, and urged politicians in the Niger Delta to disarm their youth groups.
