Please dont start.
So will u support a future state retaining the name "Delta"as against Anioma, its first governor probably for the first 8 years coming from the Ukwuani's ( I'm assuming u know who they are) , and them (Ukwuanis) having 2 out of the 3 senatorial districts the state will have?

wesley80:
It wasnt intended 2 be one. Anyway my question was if the interest of the people is supreme like u said, would an Anioma state best serve that interest? or would it just be a chest thumping reason for the Igbos? I mean like "yeah We've got yet another state" or just an avenue for those we seem to prefer like Pat Utomi to have a quick avenue to governance?

wesley80:
In whose interest is Anioma state? the Igbos, the likes of Pat Utomi or the potential Anioma people?

cicero:
Who is he fighting for the igbos or his pocket?

Chyz @ Monkeyleg

Do you guys honestly believe that creating more states is in anybody's interest?

monkeyleg:
@Chyz,

They are likely to go SE. I will try my best to see PU. He is a good man, with good ideas, but even I am begining to feel tired of the whole struggle. Its as if Nigerians are not ready to face up to the real challenges that face us. The truth is that corruption and mismanagement will continue to win in tha country. I have honestly given up hope of seeing change in my generation, maybe our kids might stand a better chance.

monkeyleg:
@Chyz,

I am Delta Ibo

monkeyleg:
@chyz,

Yes I am from Delta state. And it pains me when I see a state with so much potential languishing in total corruption and mismanagement. But I love Delta state and her people. We just need to think about ouselves and work for the common good, something the present and past governor do not understand

monkeyleg:
@Chyz,

I hear he will be in the UK some time in November, I will make efforts to see him. Such a great guy. The story at some point was that he was teaming up with Ribadu and El-Rufai, not quite sure what happened to that plan. But a Pat / El or Pat / Nuhu would have been a good combination. But let us see

monkeyleg:
@Chyz,

I so agree with you, but the politics of delta state would not let Pat prevail. He is a decent man, who has so much to offer

wesley80:
So have the Igbos accepted him as an Igbo really? Or when the chips are down they start knowing who is a true blooded Igbo and who is not.

monkeyleg:
@MaziUche,

I totaly agree with you, and I have had the good futune of meeting the man. He is what we probably need, but Nigeria is not in a position to let people like him thrive. The politics of Nigeria is just too bad, just like everything in our country. This man has the potential to move our country leaps, by attracting some of the best, but Nigeria as a country will not let that happen. Nigerians are not ready for that sort of change.

PeeDaVinci:
By the way, Ahmadinejad said it out of inferiority complex, and US staged their walk out to protect their pride (which I think everybody should have). Compare and contrast Obama's speech with Ahmedinejad

egift:
All those things he was spewing was it all the most pressing issues facing Iran in the International community? He is lucky he is here on a UN umbrella if not he will have to be escorted.

Ileke-IdI:
You'd prolly like this one too.
Enjoy;

Freewilly:
Thank you chyz,I'm from Nnobi in Anambra, our Igbo is so simple anyone can understant it.  

Freewilly:
I know it's Igbo but I can't understand a word, biko what part of Igbo land is he from.

tadeoye1:
dede,    Do you know the name of the dein of Agbor.   ?  is name is  Benjamin  Keagborekuzi. That name look igbo to you. The reason he may have change the title is because he wanted to get away from slavery.

You see they sometime pick igbo name, and people tend to want to believe they are igbos . No. they are not. even my friend i was telling you people about had an igbo name. I went to nursery,primary and secondary school with this person. So that should tell you. How close I am to him.

i use to assume he was igbo too. when he told me he was not. he took me to meet his cousin who confirm it. i doubt it. so i went to his house to meet his father who was like a father to me too. he was the former secretary of ika union in lagos.

his  reply to me was, what is my friend younger sister name. ?  is it igbo or benin. it was then it came to my mind that the sister was bearing a benin name.

It is like in the north, most northerners speak Hausa, but they are not hausa. The same thing. So how can the igbos want a state where others are  majority. Is like Yorubas wanting Nupe people to have a state in niger state and call it a Yoruba name. It is not possible just because they speak Yorubas.  In the north most people speak hausa even when they are not hausas. It is the same thing.

You see, when we were young. Kwale people were kwale people. Igbo people were igbo people. Agbor people were Agbor people.

Let take for example Isselle Uku people.  Look at thier union in the USA. Can you see the name.   Abolo, osemene etc.  are not igbo name.  Isselle Uku  is about 20 km to the river niger and asaba.
Look my former pastor I assume is from Isselle Uku.

So they are not igbos.  And they are majority in North delta state.

They are not igbos, you people are cheating them. You see they are not getting thier fair share of the resource of delta state because you people are telling lies.

Look at the list of appointment and do you find them in it. That is not fair. The bible says do to others what you want them to do unto you. either someone is an igboman or hausa man or kwale man treat him good. dont try to cheat him.

You people are cheating them labelling them Igbos. Let everybody bear his father name. Make una play fair. Look I have friend who are kwale and ika from delta state. i believe in been fair. You cant force things on other people.

So is everybody that speak hausa in the north, a northerner?? No. there are other ethnics group. The history is, the igbo immigrated.  Just like I immigrated to canada. Or redemeed church in dallas, in future the children in that location. May want to rewrite history wrongly.

Tapa people( nupe) speak yoruba but they are not yorubas. but need to communicate in Yoruba to do business. Prof chika Obi name his son Babatunde  a yoruba name but he is igbo. the ownership of the land is not in doubt.

chyz:
Sorry we are Igbos. Put your business in yoruba issues.and stop trying to claim the fulanis in kwara as yoruba. And you are a damn liar about kwale people claiming they were kwale and not Igbo. You said you are one of those men who are of mid-age so meaning when you were young it was around the time Igboness was even stronger than today and noone from kwale denied being Igbo likewise agbor. They are igbo so go about your business.

mens dept:

Nonsense

Who are the "others" that are the majority?  And where did you grow up? I would like to see that on your SATELLITE MAPS. Is Igbo girlfriend troubling you?

In those days you refer to as "Kwale" People were "Kwale" people is in fact supportive of the notion that Igbo people are very well spread and diverse (i.e. Ngwa People, Bende People, Ikwerre, etc.)  Today those terms are often used to divide them. Simple.

By the way, the FEW persons from Isselle Uku USA that you selected (without their approval of course) have not said they are not Igbo. The majority of their members did not say they are not Igbo. You cant pick and choose and fabricate in your attempt to erase the "TRUE EXTENT" of Igboland off your Satellite, my primary school friend.

And to the Igbo, how much of this Igbo and not really Igbo baloney are you folks gonna keep fallin 4?

udezue:
Becomerich, please shut your moronic arse up and quit derailing threads with your madness. Ignorant fool. Like as if all Igbo bare the same Ikechukwu, Nonso. Dumass. Problem with u is that u think anything Igbo is Imo state. Dummy. The nerve of this Yoruba man telling us who we are. *hiss*

Becomrich0:
They rent them.  I read somewhere they pay them well. like in one newpaper, a protest by imo state people was done by hausa
