Delta state is not a tribe, is it by force?

Wahabfuture:
Your problem is that you don't know what you will do when Nigeria divide because your tribe is very little, hence why you keep looking for people to make your population big, nobody can cheat nature, get it into your thick skull

gidgiddy:
Only a total fool will be worried about being lumped into what does not exist. The constitution of Nigeria does not recognise anything called SE or SS, in the eyes of the law, both do not exist.

They are at best, geographical expressions

But wether SS or SE, anything inside the failed British colonial contraption called Nigeria is not likely to experience any progress, a failed country does not progress

DomPerignon:
Ned is desperate to be Governor by all means and that's why he is pushing the Anioma bill.

But where he miscalculated was to lump Anioma to SE zone in a move that was meant to garner SE support at the legislative stage and also future votes from SE residents in places like Asaba to vote him as a future governor of Anioma.

While all ethnic groups in the proposed Anioma state are in total support for state creation, a flurry of objections has been registered over being lumped with the SE.

Three major Igboid ethnicities have registered their grievances over being lumped into the SE.

They all prefer to remain in the SS geopolitcal zone and if that isn't possible , to be left in Delta state.

What I understand from the above is that the Igboid people in Delta state do not want to be under the same cultural and political groupings with the SE.

How then will they be willing to join your Biafra ?

*Urges President Ruto to apologise over anti-people law





Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Friday, called on the International Criminal Court (ICC), to investigate and prosecute heads of security agencies responsible for the killing of innocent protesters in Kenya which constitutes crime against humanity.



He also called on President William Ruto to urgently apologize to the people of Kenyan for attempting to make a legislation that was manifestly anti-people before he was forced to beat a retreat by the angered youths.



Frank who disclosed this in a statement in Abuja, said he is standing solidly behind the youths of Kenyan for rising up to oppose dictatorial tendencies on the part of the government of Kenya in a democratic setting even though President Ruto is his personal friend.



He further called on the international community especially the United States, United Kingdom, European Union to place a visa ban on the heads of the security agencies that would be indicted by the ICC after wholistic investigations.



“Those who issued orders to security agencies to shoot at and kill innocent and peaceful protesters must be urgently fished out and prosecuted according to international law,” Frank said.



According to him, the right to protest is enshrined in several international treaties and declarations, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.



He insisted that recognising this right inevitably imposes an obligation on the state including the government and armed forces of Kenya to facilitate protest, including by ensuring protesters are safe and not to kill them.



Frank said: “Protest is a public demonstration of disapproval and it not a criminal action, therefore to kill lawful citizens for protesting is a crime against humanity which must be condemned by all with attendant sanction on perpetrators to serve as a deterrent.



“We stand with the Kenyan protesters and we mourn those who have paid the supreme price. However, we urgently demand the International Criminal Court to go after those that killed protesters.”



He lamented that “majority of Kenyans including the youths now being massacred voted massively to elect Ruto to office because of the trust and confidence that they had in him and people believed he was going to be a people’s president and that is what we expect him to be.



“So apologising to the youths and by extension Kenyans is not a sign of weakness but an action that will further endear him to the people and bring the much needed stability and peace in Kenya.



He called on Ruto to listen to and prioritise the wishes of Kenyans because they were the ones that voted him into power.



In a similar manner, he called on the youths of Nigeria to wake up the spirit of Occupy Nigeria in 2012 and the #ENDSARS Protests to curb the excesses of the present administration through legitimate protests.



“Let Nigerians wake up and pay the sacrifice that Kenyans have paid because that is the only way we can have a better country,” he said

Peter Obi can never work with tinubu
Tinubu knows this for a fact.

The best thing tinubu should do is to quietly go and rest and observe the next election in peace and go with the flow without influencing inec the second time else nothing will remain of Nigeria again...

confusedlady:
"The Ibo people have reached a cross-road and it is for us to decide which is the right course to follow.

"We are confronted with routes leading to diverse goals, but as I see it, there is only one road that I can safely recommend for us to tread, and it is the road to self-determination for the Ibo within the framework of a federated commonwealth of Nigeria and the Cameroons, leading to a United States of Africa.

"Other roads, in my opinion, are calculated to lead us astray from the path of national self-realization."

The rest of the speech currently being used by INC on its platform for political education, and mobilisation goes thus: "Harbingers of a new day for the Ibo nation, having selected me to preside over the deliberations of this assembly of the Ibo nation, I am conscious of the fact that you have not done so because of any extraordinary attributes in me.

"I realize that I am not the oldest among you, nor the wisest, nor the wealthiest, nor the most experienced, nor the most learned. I am therefore grateful to you for elevating me to this high pedestal.

"It would appear that God has specially created the Ibo people to suffer persecution and be victimized because of their resolute will to live. Since suffering is the label of our tribe, we can afford to be sacrificed for the ultimate redemption of the children of Africa.

"Is it not fortunate that the Ibo are among the few remnants of indigenous African nations who are still not spoliated by the artificial niceties of Western materialism? Is it not historically significant that throughout the glorious history of Africa, the Ibo is one of the select few to have escaped the humiliation of a conqueror’s sword or to be a victim of a Carthaginian treaty?
"Search through the records of African history and you will fail to find an occasion when, in any pitched battle, any African nation has either marched across Ibo territory or subjected the Ibo nation to a humiliating conquest. Instead, there is record to show that the martial prowess of the Ibo, at all stages of human history, has rivaled them not only to survive persecution, but also to adapt themselves to the role thus thrust upon them by history, of preserving all that is best and most noble in African culture and tradition.

"Placed in this high estate, the Ibo cannot shirk the responsibility conferred on it by its manifest destiny. Having undergone a course of suffering the Ibo must therefore enter into its heritage by asserting its birthright, without apologies.

"Follow me in a kaleidoscopic study of the Ibo. Four million strong in man-power! Our agricultural resources include economic and food crops which are the bases of modern civilization, not to mention fruits and vegetables which flourish in the tropics!

"Our mineral resources include coal, lignite, lead, antimony, iron, diatomite, clay, oil, tin! Our forest products include timber of economic value, including iroko and mahogany!

"Our fauna and flora are marvels of the world! Our land is blessed by waterways of world renown, including the River Niger, Imo River, Cross River! Our ports are among the best known in the continent of Africa.

"Yet in spite of these natural advantages, which illustrate without doubt the potential wealth of the Ibo, we are among the least developed in Nigeria, economically, and we are so ostracized socially, that we have become extraneous in the political institutions of Nigeria.

"I have not come here today in order to catalogue the disabilities which the Ibo suffer, in spite of our potential wealth, in spite of our teeming man-power, in spite of our vitality as an indigenous African people; suffice it to say that it would enable you to appreciate the manifest destiny of the Ibo if I enumerated some of the acts of discrimination against us as a people.

"Socially, the British Press has not been sparing in describing us as ‘the most hated in Nigeria’. In this unholy crusade, the Daily Mirror, The Times, The Economist, News Review and the Daily Mail have been in the forefront.

"In the Nigerian Press, you are living witnesses of what has happened in the last eighteen months, when Lagos, Zaria and Calabar sections of the Nigerian Press were virtually encouraged to provoke us with tendentious propaganda. It is needless for me to tell you that today, both in England and in West Africa, the expression ‘Ibo’ has become a word of opprobrium.

"Politically, you have seen with your own eyes how four million people were disenfranchised by the British, for decades, because of our alleged backwardness. We have never been represented on the Executive Council, and not one Ibo town has had the franchise, despite the fact that our native political institutions are essentially democratic—in fact, more democratic than any other nation in Africa, in spite of our extreme individualism.

"Economically, we have laboured under onerous taxation measures, without receiving sufficient social amenities to justify them. We have been taxed without representation, and our contributions in taxes have been used to develop other areas,

"Out of proportion to the incidence of taxation in those areas. It would seem that we are becoming a victim of economic annihilation through a gradual but studied process. What are my reasons for cataloguing these disabilities and interpreting them as calculated to emasculate us, and so render us impotent to assert our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

"I shall now state the facts which should be well known to any honest student of Nigerian history. On the social plane, it will be found that outside of Government College at Umuahia, there is no other secondary school run by the British Government in Nigeria in Ibo-land. There is not one secondary school for girls run by the British Government in our part of the country.

"In the Northern and Western Provinces, the contrary is the case. If a survey of the hospital facilities in Ibo-land were made, embarrassing results might show some sort of discrimination. Outside of Port Harcourt, fire protection is not provided in any Ibo town. And yet we have been under the protection of Great Britain for many decades!

"On the economic plane, I cannot sufficiently impress you because you are too familiar with the victimization which is our fate. Look at our roads; how many of them are tarred, compared, for example, with the roads in other parts of the country?

"Those of you who have travelled to this assembly by road are witnesses of the corrugated and utterly unworthy state of the roads which traverse Ibo-land, in spite of the fact that four million Ibo people pay taxes in order, among others, to have good roads. Roads must be considered the system of communications, water and electricity supplies.

"How many of our towns, for example, have complete postal, telegraph, telephone and wireless services, compared to towns in other areas of Nigeria? How many have pipe-borne water supplies? How many have electricity undertakings? Does not the Ibo tax-payer fulfill his civic duty? Why, then, must he be a victim of studied official victimization?

"Today, these disabilities have been intensified. There is a movement to disregard traditional organization in the Ibo nation by the introduction of a specious system of a form of local government.

"The placing of the Ibo nation in an artificial regionalization scheme has left an unfair impression of attempted domination by minorities of the Ibo people. In the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council the electoral college system has aided in the complete disenfranchisement of the Ibo.

"As a climax, spurious leadership is being foisted upon us—a mis-leadership which receives official recognition, thus stultifying the legitimate aspirations of the Ibo. This leadership shows a palpable disloyalty to the Ibo and loyalty to an alien protecting power.

"The only worthwhile stand we can make as a nation is to assert our right to self-determination, as a unit of a prospective Federal Commonwealth of Nigeria and the Cameroons, where our rights will be respected and safeguarded.

"Roughly speaking, there are twenty main dialectal regions in the Ibo nation, which can be conveniently departmentalized as Provinces of an Ibo State, to wit: Mbamili in the northwest, Aniocha in the west, Anidinma and Ukwuani in the southeast, Nsukka and Udi in the north, Awgu, Awka and Onitsha in the centre, Ogbaru in the south, Abakaliki and Afikpo in the northwest, Okigwi, Orlu, Owerri and Mbaise in the east, Ngwa, Bende, Abiriba Ohafia and Etche in the southwest.

"These Provinces can have their territorial boundaries delimited, they can select their capitals, and then can conveniently develop their resources both for their common benefit and for those of the other nationalities who make up this great country called Nigeria and the Cameroons.

"The keynote in this address is self-determination for the Ibo. Let us establish an Ibo State, based on linguistic and ethnic factors, enabling us to take our place side by side with the other linguistic and ethnic groups which make up Nigeria and the Cameroons.

"With the Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Yoruba, Ibibio (Iboku), Angus (Bi-Rom), Tiv, Ijaw, Edo, Urhobo, ltsekiri, Nupe, Igalla, Ogaja, Gwari, Duala, Bali and other nationalities asserting their right to self-determination each as separate as the fingers, but united with others as a part of the same hand, we can reclaim Nigeria and the Cameroons from this degradation which it has pleased the forces of European imperialism to impose upon us.

"Therefore, our meeting today is of momentous importance in the history of the Ibo, in that opportunity has been presented to us to heed the call of a despoiled race, to answer the summons to redeem a ravished continent, to rally forces to the defence of a humiliated country, and to arouse national consciousness in a demoralized but dynamic nation."

Some peoples logic.

When it comes to the the 1966 Nigerian coup d'état and anything negative... He's and IgboMan from Anioma Delta state.


When it comes to making Anioma a state in South East or saying Anioma people are Igbo people... Then Igbo people are unity beggars forcing Anioma to be Igbo 🤣🤣


In summary anything negative = Igbo
Anything positive = Not Igbo.


I hearby declare the the 1966 Nigerian coup d'état as an Anioma mastermined coup, henceforth leave Igbo people out of it!

Paraman:
Anioma will never be part of the south east geopolitical zone and Gbajue will never become the president or vice president of Nigeria

AlomoReloaded:
Confused mofos.
Those so called Delta-Igbos are more confused than I'd ever wish my worst enemy. They'll vehemently tell you they are not Igbo.... That they are Delta... Just like Fulani, saying "I'm Kaduna".... When pushed further, they'll say they are "Delta-Igbo".... One just can't help but wonder the kind of iberiibe that will make them add Igbo, to Delta and still say they aren't Igbo.
Funny people. When they jam Isoko, Urhobo, Itsekiri, and the wahala giving Ijaw, they'll be quick to say they are Igbo... Just to hide under the protective shadow of the title of "Igbo"....
Very funny people.

Fight don start!!


Their rejection is not the creation of Anioma State, their rejection is based on the premise to be included in the South East geopolitical zone.

They prefer to be crafted into South South .


Hence, may be Orlu will be more visible since it's entirely within the South East region.

Chekwume16:
My brother can you imagine ned telling us to become part of south east because he wants to be governor.

The National Executive Committee and Elders Forum of Izu-Anioma, the apex and umbrella body of all Anioma people, at an

emergency meeting held at The Izu-Anioma National Secretariat at the weekend unanimously passed a vote of confidence in Senator Ned Nwoko for excellent representation of the Anioma People of Delta North Senatorial Zone at the National Assembly.

“On writing to Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko, he took up the matter with Pan Ocean giving the long sought for leadership. After multiple exchanges and meetings, and a joint visit/guided tour led by the Senator and HRM Obi Godwin Nzemeke of Ejeme Unor with Izu-Anioma Leadership and Youth Leaders of Agbor Alidimma to Pan Ocean Oils and Gas Installation, we are all set to commence meaningful negotiations, all thanks to our Distinguished Senator.

“The Distinguished Senator has however told Anioma people that their opinions and decisions with other stakeholders would determine the final outcome. From our interactions with the Distinguished Senator, the best outcome for Anioma people remains his number one priority. He added: “In the last few weeks, after the visit to Pan Ocean Oils and Gas Installation with the Izu-Anioma Leadership, The Distinguished Senator has visited and interacted with practically all the IOCs operating in Delta North and had very meaningful interactions with the Companies’ Management and the host communities to assess their operations and relationships with the host communities and most importantly their compliance with International Best Practices like the stoppage of all Gas...
