Objectivist04:
Ned nwoko has never denied his Igbo identity, I once heard him advocating polygamy among igbos, citing out forefathers who were polygamists. Even though I don't agree with him on that but just to let you know that he never denied his Igbo identity.

About his name, are you also saying that Andy Uba and other igbos whose real name is Nnamdi but chose to shorten it to Andy denied their Igbo identity ?

What about people like Jim lyk ?
Toney Umez ?
Kach Ononuju and many other Igbo that shortened or modified their Igbo names to make it sound exotic ?

A popular radio station in Enugu made this issue a topic of debate in their yesterday evening program and those for anioma overwhelming dominated .
All the callers who are from Anambra spoke against Orlu state including majority from enugu , only few imo callers went for Orlu state.

Orlu state is not popular and that is the fact

You have said it all bro. Anyone can believe whatever he want to believe just to feel good but that can not stop the truth in anyway.

Amah70:
Do you know: when you make Anioma become sixth state in the SE, you actually reduce the representation of Igbos in the National Assembly and at the FEC? Sit down and do the calculation first.


Land mass is never a yardstick to determine where new federating units like state or region is created.

Advocates of create Anioma as sixth state for the southeast think Orlu will be a master in Orlu state, that's all. But Orlu state will have all government institutions of development distributed in all nooks and crannies of Orlu state.
It's not going to be like Imo state where Owerri literally seized and seizes all government institutions and parastatals that are supposed to induce development in Imo state, but got them all located in Owerri area . Owerri has developed into two to three cities because of the institutions and parastatals in Owerri.
Orlu deteriorated because of denial of government institutions and parastatals.

In a Nigeria where Igbo are call minority, dot in a circle after dividing us into small small units and separate us with geopolitical zone sentiment; haven't you been fooled and robbed enough?

Only a fool does not know why the northerners are considered more political powerful than the east. The ppl called northerners comprise'sof different languages (Not even dialect like u hv it in the east). There u will find Hausa, Tivi, Fulani,... But these people were able to unit their selves as one (north), enlarge their coast and increase their voting power. Even westerners understands better and are playing along by adding Anioma to middle west, shifting ur dear Ohaji, Egbema to South south in the restructuring document presented to Tinubu last week. And here u are telling us that Our Igbo brothers from Anioma are not Igbos. Can u just listen to urself?

I tell u again.... By the time ndi Yoruba are done taking Ohaji, Egbema away from u imolits (while u chest shadows) then ur like will tell our grandchildren how Ohaji Egbema people are not Igbos.

Anambra will always choose Anioma over Orlu. As u can see in the video above, Anioma is moving with the speed of light on daily basis.

ChimaAdeoye:
Why do Orlu politicians love to commit fraud? They haven't even created the state yet, and they're already forging people's signatures without giving them any benefits! Just imagine what they will do when they get the state and take over all the communities they want!

That's what everyone is asking but I am not surprise... That's how they messed Imo up, and landed the state where it is today. Yet they kept crying that Owerri zone is marginalizing them with little or no government presence in Orlu. Imagine; Even when their kinsmen hv been ruling the state from administration to administration.

Maybe they thought they were dealing with people who does not know their onions... But they are now beginning to understand that Anambra is not Imo.

Soludo Has Shattered Records And Made History As Anambra Takes Number One Spot In Nigeria’s Fiscal Transparency


With Soludo’s exceptional track record, expertise, and unwavering commitment to fiscal transparency and accountability, it comes as no surprise that Anambra State has achieved the remarkable feat of being ranked number one in fiscal transparency in 2024.

These significant recognitions showcase the administration’s dedication to transparent budgeting, accessible e-procurement portals, fiscal reporting, and the integrity of the state’s website. This reaffirms Soludo’s stature as a paragon of good governance, financial prudence, and fiscal integrity.

Ndi Anambra has also witnessed the administration’s impactful efforts in prudent public resource management. For instance, government offices in Anambra were spending N137 million each month on cleaning public offices until Soludo assumed office and promptly slashed the cost to a mere N11 million per month.

Anambra currently boasts the fewest political appointees across the country, and there is no official convoy for the governor’s wife. It is imperative to align with the standards of the people we govern, ensure accountability, and eliminate unnecessary expenditures and inefficiencies.

What of someone who is interested in being Quarry agent?

Abagworo:
I don't know why some of you think like stone age men that use every opportunity to denigrate themselves and make themselves appear very cheap before onlookers . The past State creations and future State creations have and will always be based on administrative convenience and balance of development. The Orlu State proposal and reactionof people like you shows you don't know past history nor present history of the areas involved in this creation. No part of the Orlu State is richer than the other in any way. You can't say Uga is richer than Akokwa or Umuchu is richer than Njaba or Umuaka is richer than Uli. Everywhere in the proposed State are full of multimillionaires but they are the most affected by the recent insecurity in both States. The reason the Orlu State is not needed is not because of the fake Anambra ethnicity but because Southeast is small and if you remove Northern Imo and Southern Anambra to form a State the remaining States will be too small and the new State will be a problem as it has nearly same population density as Lagos. There is no land for mega projects except maybe at Ohaji and Oguta LGAs which are boundary and not central. Anioma is the best bet for a new Igbo speaking State while the minorities should also be tolerated.

I don't even know who is bragging on another persons' wealth with you. You just created the impression urself and judge urself afterall.

I am glad you still arrived at the same point with me after beating around the bush.
Proposed Orlu state is dead on arrival science fiction and we advance Imolits to go BK and fix their home, Atleast inspire Rivers Igbo speaking nations around them for good like Anambrarians are doing.

As it stands now Ohaji, Egbema is on going going..... Gone. Effect of divided house.

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

hahaha..... These people are chronic chest beaters honestly. That is how they were beating their chest that Anambra lawmakers endorse the insurgency state in disguise (Orlu) until Anambra lawmakers started giving them gbas-gbas; maybe they thought they were talking to ppl who do not know their onions. Now he is persuading himself to believe that Anambra money magnets are from fictional Orlu clan just to feel good. He forgot to include Arthur Eze, Nnewi North and South, Awka... the funniest part is that he was bragging how Soludo and Hope will resolve their case even when the only two town mentioned in Soludoes Aguata are Uga and Umuchu.
You don't blame them because every tom and dick wants to be associated with Anambra to have a sense of belonging. Who does not admire Anambra harmony and success?

It's becoming clearer everyday that the Orlu state jamboree was inspired by infirioriy complex.

Let them keep having wet dream on Anambra splendor while southwest take Ohaji/Egbema away from them and give it to Southsouth.

It will be a very interesting game to watch. Atleast in future, ppl like Amah70 will tell my grandchildren how Ohaji, Egbema are not Igbo just like he is saying about Anioma of today.

Amah70:
Igbos shall lose out again, and big time this time, if the SE legislators give a nod to Anioma as 6th state in the SE area; Igbo losing more political representation in Abuja, losing more from federal allocations etc etc.
These Anambra south legislators said they were not consulted beforehand. Let them be consulted.
It's unimaginable any learned from Anambra State would wear the term Anambra like a King's crown.

By Implication are you saying that Anioma is not Igbo? Are u saying we should throw our child away with the bathing water? But Late. Gen. Chukwuma Nzogu is an Igbo man? History have it that onye Igbo led the first military coup right?

Anambra and Anioma are brothers as far as Igbo is concern... Atleast everyone noticed the closeness between Ifeanyi Okowa and Obiano during their tenure as governors. Everyone See's the closeness between Elumelu, Ossayi (former Delta dept speaker) and Anambra elites,... We inspire each other to grow Atleast Anioma state will increase Igbos voting power and number of Representatives both in Red and green chember.

Coming to government appointment, the number of appointmentees does not lie on number of state. Tinubu appointed 1 or 2 ministers for each southeast states but each Southwest state is counting 3 or more.
Some northern states are as big as all southeast states yet each of these northern states have more government appointmentees than southeast counterparts.

Coming to development: Development is not when you divide every Igbo community/town into a state. If not, why is Orlu ppl still complaining even when their kinsmen hv been ruling Imo state from administration to administration? Development depends on the ppls mindset and orientation. I can prove it with fact.

Imagine the show of shame going on in Imo state...? I thought I hv seen it all.
Orlu, Owerri, Okigwe against each other. How do you expect any reasonable person to desire to be associated with Imo divided against it's ownself? Even when Orlu zone has been in power for a decade; yet no development in Orlu... Instead they blame Owerri for marginalizing them, Owerri blam Orlu, Okigwe...

No wonder Rivers Igbo speaking communities next door to Imo state are distances self from Igbo, and one keep wondering... Why it is so when Anioma, Igala, and other Igbo speaking nations close to Anambra are very proud identifying their selves as Igbos.

What a shame.
Meanwhile...

From the desk of the former Anambra state dept speaker, currently Hon. Member representing Ihiala in the house of representative.

Disassociates self and constituency from Orlu jamboree.

He said nothing but the truth

Amah70:
I did write that their's Old Orlu Division comprising some local govt areas in present Anambra south. I did not write that Orlu state is an original Igbo grouping.
Repeat: Anambra State made up of 21 local government areas is a term for Anambra communities in Anambra, not naturally born a monolithic group; and will never be; because creating of new federating units in a country NEVER ENDS.

I am glad u have counter your own word. That's the beauty of proven fact.

Now you have swallow bk ur word, knowing fully well that there is nothing like Orlu origin, and that Anambra is one great family; Can you now go back and make peace/live in harmony with your Owerri, Okigwe, Orlu brothers as one great state (IMO) instead of trying to divide another person's home? If possible inspire/influence River state Igbos next to you like Anambra does with her neighbors. Atleast let them be proud to say "I am Igboman" anywhere they are like Anioma people of Delta state.

Daalu.

Amah70:
Ha ha ha. But I told you that I come in peace. Reread all what you wrote above. Which of them can pass any test for truth? None. We were all in East Central State. So what is all the drive to deny the Southeast a sixth state it deserves?

There is no Igbo grouping called Orlu state... And there is nothing like Orlu in the history and origin of Igbo. The Father of Igbo is Eri and Igbo ancestral home is Aguleri in Anambra. His house (Obu gad) Is till there till today. His 7 children are Aguleri, Igbariam, Nteje, Amanuke, Nsugbue and Nri... From there he enlarge his coast to Igboukwu, Anedo (Nnewi), Dunukofia. His first daughter "Iguedo" Begot Ogbunike (Okpala umu Iguedo), Umueri, Ika (Agburuika) in Onitsha, Awkuzu, Nteje Nando, all in Anambra.
Igbo staf of authority is in Nri (Nri ji offor Igbo) in Aniocha LGA of Anambra state.
I can go on and on with proof.
Have you seen why Anambra is more Igbo than Orlu.

Amah70:
FYI,
1) there is no Igbo grouping known as Abambra, not to talk of non existent monolithic Abambra state.
2) Anambra is a coinage by northern military dictators who created states.
3) Abambra River known as Omambala from Uzo-Uwani to Nkisi River joining River Niger does not pass through Abambra South senatorial district.
4) Much of today's Abambra South were originally in Orlu Division before the beginning of creation of states in Nigeria.
5) Even today, much of the Church Parishes in Anambra south are in Orlu Dioceses.
6) Even today, many people from Abambra South are members of Old Orlu Divisional Unions outside Igbo land, and in foreign countries.
I come in peace ✌️

NB: The previous video and images I shared on the road is from Amawbia Awka axis of the road to Ekwulobia flyover.... Being handled by GELD Construction.

I like the fact that Soludo awarded this heavy project to two construction companies. It shows how serious he is in delivering and trust me, there is going to be healthy competition between the two companies which is a bonus to the project.

Anambra is arguably the fastest developing state... Emerging to one mega city state.

Whether you like accept it or not, the fact remained the fact.
Even you, if proper DNA tracing is conducted on you, it might surprisingly turned out that you are of Igala origin.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh_a0xiVi-w?si=ebSRrt7ksABzkRhC Going by your claim: If Anambra can bring bk southeast territory (The ppl u call Igala), living in harmony with them were everyone is proudly Igbo, then Anambra is a model state that needs to be studied. We rather enlarge our coast than divide selves into parts. You that is next to River State Igbos, why can't u influence them to be proud Igbos like Anambra did? How can u inspire/Influence a fly when you can not leave in harmony with your Owerri/Orlu brothers in the same state? Who wants to associate with infiriority complex??

Even Anioma ppl next door to Anambra are more proud Igbos than rivers Igbo next to you.

Look; No one is suffering infiriority complex here. I advise u go and make peace with your ppl because you will be one with them forever.

Klinee:
Why won't I insult you when you keep writing jaggon, how dare you refer an indigenous owner of a land as an intruder?
If you don't know, why can't you do proper or necessary research before any relative utterances.
Just understand that more than 60% of towns Anambra north senatorial zone were originally Igalas before undergoing language switching due to the influx of the upland Igbos to the Area, the same is what most Igala towns in Anambra west are experiencing today.

You are free to cry nairaland a river, call Omabala Igala; it does not change the fact that Anambra State is one.

No one is suffering infiriority complex here. I advise u go and make peace with your ppl because you will be one with them forever.

Ofodirinwa:
because you're online talking. Ihiala, Idemili, and co are firm Orlu Zone people. Always have been always will be. I can tell who learned about Igboland on the internet from how they talk.

Osii Idemili? This one is JJC.

cjrane:
You made a good point that an additional State in any location in the southeast would make for a balanced equitable federation. But you spoilt your argument by LYING that Buhari asked the south east to name any state he would create for them! Also that Ihiala is overlooked as a Fringe LGA in Anambra? Incase you don’t know, Dr Mbadinuju is from Ihiala LGA! Even Nnewi LGA has not had the types of benefits of Ihiala LGA. So they are also overlooked as fringe people too?

Learn to stop spoiling a sound argument by adding blatant lies to it. It just rubs a huge dark smear on your entire argument and makes people very suspicious of your true intentions. For which you were prepared to lie and deceive people just to push your opinion.

It's becoming obvious that the proposed Orlu state is driven by infiriority complex/Division rather than Igbo progress. Even when they try to hide it... The word keep coming out of their mouth subconsciously. If you were here during last Anambra gubernatorial election and see some ppls wish; u will understand better.

When u thought u have seen it all... Ebonyi is crying of Marginalization in their own region, Imo is crying of Marginalization in their own state. I visited Imo state page, I can't hold bk my ears... and they want to drag part of Anambra into the show of shame but Anambra is so unique and United for such. Even after correcting him, he is still pushing his failed divisive sentiment. That is how a certain state always cry What Anambra ppl did to them when they were together with them rather than use that energy to develop their selves: that's effect of wrong sentiment.

If Imo state and Abia want to divide their selves into parts, no one is stopping them but I will advise them to first undergo reorientation, Including saving their state capital (Orlu) girls who are scattered in every nook and cranny of West African countries for the wrong reason... Anambra is not progressive (with good marks in education, trade, industry, etc) because FG throws bondle of money to them. Anambra is progressive because of their orientation and mindset.

Another Anambra Lawmaker Distances Constituency From Proposed Orlu State
tracknews.ng Date/Time: Jun 12, 2024 7:29PM

proposed Orlu State
AUTHORITY NEWS PAPERJun 10, 2024 11:24 AM
From Isaac Ojo Awka

The people of Ozubulu community in Ekwusigo LGA of Anambra State have condemned the inclusion of their community in the proposed Orlu State.


The President General of the town, Engr Chris Ononuju, dropped the hint in a press statement.

“It has come to the notice of Ozubulu leadership on the inclusion of Ozubulu town in the proposed Bill before the National Assembly for the creation of Orlu state without the consent or prior knowledge of the traditional and Administrative heads of ndi ozubulu.

“More worrisome is also that our Honourable member representing the good people of Ekwusigo, Nnewi north and South at the hallowed Green Chambers, who is a bona-fide son of Ozubulu ancient Kingdom was not consulted also before the inclusion.

“In as much as the bill is for a creation of new state from the South East, which is a welcome development, the cultural and traditional affiliations of the towns to be brought together should be of utmost importance.

“Ozubulu leadership in conjunction with the traditional ruler, Obi in council and all notable stakeholders therefore condemned this act of Ozubulu inclusion in the proposed bill.

“Meanwhile, we urge all umu ozubulu to remain calm as the Leadership is on top of the situation in Consultation with the Hon. Member representing Ekwusigo, Nnewi North and South federal Constituency Hon. Amb. Lovepet Peter Uzokwe (Asiwaju)to ensure that justice is done and possible removal of Ozubulu Ancient Kingdom from the proposed bill,” Engr Ononuju said.

Awka/Aguata Super highway
Anambra is building one mega city state.
Awka, Onitsha, Ekwulobia, Nnewi, Ihiala will emerg to one mega city.... Not joking. No single obstacle will be spared not even governor's lodge. All we need is understanding/support ANSG. E go reach everybody.

ChimaAdeoye:
This is a wonderful initiative to address the issue of street trading and help petty traders secure a decent venue without the burden of rent, which often forces them to trade on the streets. It would be fantastic if ACTDA could organize all street traders in Awka into a formal group and help them acquire land along key roads to build these Solution Arenas in various parts of the city.

In other cities like Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia, and Aguleri, the state government should allow ACTDA to work with the local governments to organize street traders and build similar Solution Arenas in those cities. If we can eliminate street trading and shanties, our cities will start to look modern and livable, as promised by Soludo.

Onpoint.

Preliminary process begin on construction of dual super highway at Amawbia/Ekwulobia road... contract To be terminated at Akokwa, Imo state boundary with Uga, Anambra State.

ADDITIONAL STATE IN ANY SHAPE FOR SOUTH EAST IS ACCEPTABLE
I can read some ignorant and insatiable Igbo people say they don't want Orlu State.
Tomorrow these same stupid people will say Nigeria is marginalising the Igbo.
I remember Buhari challenging Ndigbo to agree and bring the name of ONE STATE and he will put in motion its creation but Ndigbo COULD NOT AGREE on one state. Ndi Ara !!!. It has started again, NDI ARA are saying Ozubulu and Okija will not be part of Orlu State. Now tell me, what has Ihiala and Ekwusigo LGAs gained from Anambra State? Ihiala LGA is overlooked as a fringe LGA.
Please Ndigbo that are wise should SUPPORT this great move that our grammar speaking Igbo elites and Politicians couldn't initiate. Let us leave off the foolish wailers.
Finally, I do not care where additional state is created or the name so long as South East is given an extra state.

Your comment is focused more in dividing Anambra than importance of creating new state. You ended up giving no good reason driving the motion instead you are creating sentiment that Ihiala and Ekwusigo are being marginalized in their own land... Point of current; No Anambrarian is being marginalized. We are unique. Ihiala, Ozubulu, etc are as important as Awka, Aguleri,.. Atleast ANSG has never in any administration focus only on the state capital like we see in other states... Even if any part of Anambra leave today, they hv thousand and one government signature project to develop with. So correct ur ignorant now.

I don't even know what it is with Igbos and victim card (marginalization) it's obvious the new state bill was birthed out of victimisation. The sponsor "IkengaUgochinyere" has been in a very loud war with his state governor of Imo state. ... So I am not surprise when your defense speaks only marginalization. Anambra does not discriminate against it's own except for ones suffering from inferiority complex.

Wheather a new state is created, making Anambra the smallest state by landmark or not, the eagle will always soar. I still insist u delete that awkward comment because ur town is not more important than Ihiala, Ozubulu, or Orumba. Below is one of the roads recently started/complicated by CC Soludo connecting Orumba direct to Awka. We can go on and on.

Daalu.

Anambra State giant move to stop street trading... This will put a stop to the menace of traders clustering around Unizik Junction/ pedestrian bridge, messing up the environment.

Again if the 33 to Aguleri road were dualized a bit just to the Nkwelle junction, it would strengthen that whole axis as a great alternative for our people seeking to set up industries in accessible industrial estates the south east.[/quote]Aptly stated. I have thought of that before now... It will be a move in the right direction.

But for now, Mr. Governor have alot of road dualization work at hand. It will not be bad if he pickup the challenge in his second tenure.

ChimaAdeoye:
Biko, why are you hyperventilating and arguing with yourself? We are saying the same thing!

We need more good trends as someone rightly noted in the previous page. We want more positive trends like this, such as building modular refineries, gas-power stations etc. We just need one brave person to launch the trend, and then boom! Our business people will key into it.

Sorry I quoted the wrong person. I was actually referring to @Gerogel

ChimaAdeoye:
Talk about the nature of an Igboman to jump on any bandwagon trend of something good!

Since Air Peace started flying to London, the trend of owning airlines to fly into London and perhaps other European cities will be the new trend.

I wish someone would set up a gas power plant, multiple modular refineries, or light rail connecting two or three major cities in the southeast so that this critical trend will catch on with our rich men.

Don't say what u know nothing or little about dear. Obijackson has been into aviation before now. He has been into private jet/ chopper charter service for years... So expanding his business should be a good news not fight. Airpeace is not complaining likewise UN Airline who is currently working on Nigeria to US direct flight. It's time for us to conquer the aviation/ Marlin sector, and the sky is to big. Remember the time of land transportation... Ekenedilichukwu, Ekedum, GUO Okeke, etc, all from Anambra ruled and still ruling the sector, yet all of them are making their mark.

If u stop Obijackson, are u going to stop Kano born AA Rano too?

While Donclimax, Zenith Shipping, E-money... are major in shipping and cargo, Airpeace, Obijackson, UNAirlin... Should lead the aviation sector.

Coming back to Oil and Gas, Obijackson is a major player in Africa. Don't forget he is building a Geometric power plant in Okija.
