This thread is a true testament to Igbo resilience.
Amidst Distractions from enemies from within and outside, this thread has persevered and is now thriving to the frustration of enemies of Igbo Unity. Their frustrations are just starting. Their presence here will only keep this thread relevant and increasing in length.
A big thanks to CKenneths(I bu onye isi), nwadei Igboson, now Xander, (Nnaa I bu oke nwa na Ndoni. Igbo nwelu mmadu maka gi), Horsepower101( Nnaa, izuru ka emee), Hammer ( Ezigbote mmadu), and the rest of us who put in shift here from time to time.

Chukwu,Olisa, Ezechitoke Abiama, Chiokike, Obasi bi n'elu igwe, gozie anyi ncha, Isee!!

You didn't add your name to list. I think you're a key personality to that feat. You all deserve the accolades despite the antics of the foreign bodies trying to destroy the thread.

[s]Chiwude, you have been been busted. Now it is easier to deal with you for who you are[/s]

Trash!

It's now I know that I was talking to an imposter and his monickers, my bad.

OMANBALA1:
Ife ekwulu na onu ana emero erika....we will wait for you to create the state ....lmao

Lol! The same way you waited when Enugu was created despite your protest isn't it? Njaba /Anim state is not in your say. The stakeholders have already drawn that map since 1979. Your say is limited to your Omanbala area of influence and not down south. When the consultation starts then, we'll know if you can stop it

VAQAXY:
[s]It is time to finally close this useless thread[/s]

Do your worst Chino. I'm a mod today in this thread. Operation clean you trash and give this monicker a ban if you wanna try me.

OMANBALA1:
[s]This is going to be short and direct.

To those salivating over the partitioning of Anambra, you are dead on arrival because not an inch of Anambra will be ceded to any stupidd Njaba , Anim nor Orashi whatever.

Firstly, your problems in Nigeria did not correlate with your number of state Igbo has , henceforth your proposals has no rational force. Today ,you want Biafra with mentally sick Nnamdi Kanu as your leader, tomorrow you want to be President as if that will solve all your problems next you want to chop Anambra in little pieces to reduce the magnitude of our influence and clout....you are dead on arrival and you better create this stupidd state before I come to political limelight. One of my many goals is to change the Anambra name to the original Omanbala and revisit our ancient culture,find elements of it that I will use to build a single Omanbala structure that will forever bind all Omanbala towns together.

And , now, you want Ekwusigo , Nnewi south , Ihiala and Orumba....my prayer on anyone wishing disintegration of Anambra is mental illness!! Go to your miserable state , fix it and leave Anambra the ffucck alone!! State creation is not solution to the underdevelopment and impoverishment of Ana Igbo.

I am ffucking pissed right now.....onye obuna welu nwayo kwanyelu onyie ugwu[/s]!

Omanbala culture is a figment of your imagination. Rather than kill the idea of an Njaba/Anim state you should rally the 4 LGA that makes up your area and rally the Ibaji, Igalamela/Odolu to form an 8th SE state. There you can promote your Omanbala culture with your kins in Kogi.
I bet you, it t will be easier for the SE to accede to such demands than allow Anambra be messed up by your kinds.

horsepower101:
Personally I agree with the troll a little bit. Let’s not further divide the south east. Instead, let’s push for Anioma state.

Anioma state are not ready yet. Let the SE support Njaba/Anim state. Anioma people should sort their identity crisis first, else you help create a monster that is no different from Rivers state. Igbo identity is sacrosanct. Any Igboid group that wants the SE support must agree to add it to the SE as a 7th state. You don't empower the SS with another state no matter the pretence.

OMANBALA1:
[s]Cc. Pazienza, you and I have different goal. I don't mince words and I know the Igbo agenda you are pushing will never come to fruition. I am a thoroughbred realist and I will stick to what I know will work for my dear fatherland/Omanbala.

This you see how you have stooped so low and condemned the Omanbala name just because it threatens your ideology but you conveniently accepted the fake anglicized version....smh. Very disgraceful. You are ready to sell your fatherland for ten kobo just to achieve your aim....May I also point out I never see you contribute jack in the Anambra thread yet you are from Ogidi...lmao.

Your origin is questionable[/s]!

Omanbala people are free to form their own ethnic nation, but leave other reasonable Anambrarians out of your madness. The Igbo nation is stronger than all of you divisionists.

horsepower101:
Thank you for the information. I will discuss this issue with my grandmother when I see her again in 2020.

It’s a sad situation being in identity crisis.

I know that one day, those who denied being igbo when the situation wasn’t so favorable will eventually start claiming igbo after we become very developed and successful.


My advice to those people is if you reject being igbo today, then reject it forever. Don’t come decades from now and start claiming igbo.

That’s why I strongly believe that Igbos should pour all their energy and resources to develop Igboland.

I can assure you that the prodigals will look back one day and regretting.

True talk.

[s] Is it true that your people have roots in bini? For the sake of people like HammerU to be enlightened.[/s]

Scottallen:
You should talk about your family only! Egbema is still an Igbo speaking clan. I thought you said Edo state before?

That dude is an imposter. I'm an nwafor Egbema and any idiot claiming Bini maybe an oil worker.

Trulie:
[s]I am an ohaji guy from assa-awarah precisely where this project is being undertaken. While I am igbo, I can authoritatively tell you that my ancestral root goes as far as omuku and bini in present day edo state[/s].

Trash. Omoku my left nyash. There's nothing Bini in Ohaji/Egbema. Not even an inch. I'm from Okwuzi in Egbema. Take this from me.

horsepower101:
Ndoni to my knowledge don’t have identity issues. My maternal grandmother is from there. Unless things have changed over the years.

Ndoni are in between in identity crisis, like 50/50. I can tell you this, because they are my neighbours. They claim Igbo when in the midst of other Igbo's, and Ndoni ethnic nation when the occasion is favourable. However, they're not poised to join the south east because they've ruled before as Governor. They may be if the occasion presents itself, but I can say for now.
But we on the other hand, have always protested our removal from our Igbo brothers. Imo state is where our soul is, not Rivers and it's anti-Igbo sentiments.

Again Ndoni has benefitted a lot from Rivers state and are tied with the Ogba people in identity crisis. Only us in Onelga are pro-Igbo, others are happy with their new ethnicity.
So please, we're not tied in one destiny with them.

XANDERBOY85:
This is Nigeria remember! The fact they’ve included oil/gas rich Rivers-Egbema leads me to believe the entire proposal will be crumpled up and chucked in the bin! And if Egbema leaves then Ndoni should leave too!

What is my business with Ndoni? I don't care about them, it's us stucked here. Egbema was never part of the original Rivers, we were removed by Mamman Kontagora and added there in the 1970's. We've always been a part of Imo state before the boundary adjustment because of our oil fields. The case was even dragged to court by our Nzeobi. So please say what you know.

Wow! I've always known this would be the make up of Njaba/Anim/Orashi state. Any name chosen among these ones at the end is okay by us, so long my people are reunited with the south east.
This would be my last wish on earth for my children. Almost in tears now.
Ndigbo should please support this state. My people need to be free from the prison called Rivers state. We've been marginalized for years simply because we didn't drop the Igbo tag. We belong in the south east and we're unapologetic about it. May God bless Senator Arthur Nzeribe for drawing this map if really.
Please for the sake of us Egbema Rivers, this state should see the light as the 6th SE state. Ohaneze and the South East Governors forum should make this a priority, even if supporting Buhari for third term, I care less.

Lol! Two hustler's

horsepower101:
I like Kanu and I have defended him so many times and have been called unprintable names.
I support him a lot on moral grounds because of his ability to speak truth to power.

But my patience is wearing thin. I am loosing patience because his refuses to stop involving south south in this IPOB movement.

I don’t wish him or the movement bad but 2020 is when I will make my final decision if I should withdraw the rest of my support for IPOB.

Ndigbo have one trait that we must try to curtail. We stick our neck for what we believe in. And when we make up our mind, there is no going back. This is a good attitude, but sometimes it gives chalartans a room to jump into the bandwagon and destroy our collective purpose. Sometimes, we need to sit down and draw parallel.
The quest for Biafra was a noble intention for which our father's lost everything they had in the 1966-70. We rose up in spite of the humiliation and regain more than what we lost. The Biafra of the mind ideals was what rekindled our spirit to be the best in what we do. The independent state of Biafra died in 1970. Igbo leaders began to find their feet politically until the 2nd republic which brought in Obasanjo.
In 1999, some group of people began a push for Biafra restoration. If it was for the fight to end marginalization of Ndigbo in Nigeria, we would have had an headway. Maybe in few years, get the Presidency, join Igbo areas in the SS and merge them in new SE created states. Keep agitating until things are balanced. But it didn't happen that way. Those who sponsored MASSOB and IPOB were not Igbo's. The purpose of founding these groups was to neutralize the strength of Ndigbo politically and push us into the wilderness fighting alone and aimlessly, while other ethnicity keep benefitting from our absence in the political landscape. At the end, we keep losing vital grounds at the expense of others, that was how GEJ became President at our expense. And this is how we would keep losing ground unless we wake up. There is no way Nigeria would be balkanized without other ethnicities agree to go their separate ways. And since other ethnicity enjoy the country the way it is, and won't mind fighting against us a second time. Isn't it time we begin to use our heads?
Biafra is a second option no doubt, but we should allow it happen naturally. We should beware charlatans with selfish motives.

hammerU:
Have u seen the video where Nnamdi Kanu was a proud Nigerian?


Did u see him campaign for Sowore release?


We are not a racist organisation, if u want to continue to live in a fairy tale Nigeria of Ohanaeze going to beg Arewa youth or your Governors selling each other out to Hausa and Yoruba, just say so.


We are not about any of the things u accuse us of, but a better life for our people.


Y should a Northerner go to University with a lower cut off mark and a South easterner with highest cut off mark?


Wat have your Igbo politicians said about that?


IPOB are the only group that have truily challenged the Nigeria State and paid heavily too but still defiant.

You still don't understand that Kanu does not have our interest at heart. Anyone that uses Biafra as a strategy automatically become an Igbo freedom fighter. What does Nnamdi Kanu's attitude portray to your likes?
Today proudly Nigeria, support GEJ, support the fight against Boko Haram etc. And you wake up tomorrow and then
Tomorrow Biafra, kill Awusa and Yoruba baboon, No Election, No Referendum, Support Trump, Igbos are Jews, Middle belt is Biafra, support Shiites, Support Orji Kalu And you wake up next tomorrow and then.

Next tomorrow, Befriends FFK, Befriends Sowore, and who knows he may even befriend Tinubu or Buhari he ask you guys to hate.
What does these tell you? It shows you a common trait of a typical politicians. Until we stop allowing charlatans use our sympathy for Biafra hoodwink us, we'll never have an headway politically. IPOB members are already doomed, but please don't drag Ndigbo into that mission.

Wat do we do about Igbo people in the SS region, do we cut them off permanently?

How do we access the Sea?[/s]

You don't fight for us. Bury your IPOB to yourselves. We don't want an IPOB Biafra headed by one supreme ant that fails to understand what we desire. If not for oil I doubt the sincere intentions of the illiterate IPOB.
A new group that is solely Igbo in orientation must be formed. A group that will carry us along, fight for Igbo unity and fight for the interest of our people is what we want and not a useless IPOB. The idea of Biafra of no headway is totally rejected by us. We rather remain in Nigeria than enter a potential confederacy of ethnicity which would be worst than south Sudan.

horsepower101:
The reality is that IPOB is an Igbo organization. Saying otherwise is living in denial.

Just because you wish for something to be a certain way doesn’t automatically make it that way.

IPOB is not an Igbo organization. The earlier many of you understand this, the better for us. There is nothing Igbo about it, religiously, culturally and otherwise. It is an alien to our way of life. Ndigbo must begin to sit up politically and fight for what is ours. Some people understands our emotional attachment to Biafra and they use that to get at us. We must begin to use our head and not our hearts.
IPOB intends to destroy everything about us, our leaders, our religious leaders and all those who stands in their way. There is nothing like supreme leader in Igbo culture.

hammerU:
Igbo are far more powerful today than ever.


An Igbo man is President ICC.


Wait till 2023, IPOB have something big coming.


U will see wat happen in Nigeria by then.

And IPOB made the Igbo man President of ICC? How shallow. Only IPOB illiterates think we're progressing since their emergence. Where were this same IPOB when Ekwueme was Vice President and was was on the verge of succeeding Shagari before the coup. Was IPOB the group that gave Igbo's 2 top positions in Shagari government, which include the VP, the Speaker in Edwin Umezoke and Joseph Wayas from Ogoja the Senate President.
Did IPOB make Commodore Ukiwe the Vice in IBB's junta.

Was it IPOB that made Abacha give us top civilian and military post in his government one of which was the CBN governor to a Anioma, Finance minister to Idika Kalu and Naval chief to Allison Madueke?

Was it IPOB that gave Ndigbo Senate President and other ministerial positions in Obasanjo's government? Deputy Speaker to Opara of Ikwerre, CBN Governor to Soludo from Anambra.

Was it IPOB that appointed the first Igbo Minister of Defence in Ironsi's son under Yardaua, Chief of Air staff in Paul Dike from Ukwuani, Chief of Naval staff in Dele Ezeoba from Anioma, Inspector General of Police from Enugu, Immigration head in Comptroller Uzoma from Imo, Custom head in Nwadialor even though he spent 6 months and chief of Army staff Ihejirika from Abia? Was it IPOB.

IPOB is not for the progress of Ndigbo. It is a retrogressive front with no headway. It is a curse same as MASSOB to the political survival of Ndigbo. It brainwashes our sensibilities and destroys the fabrics of association and diplomacy that Ndigbo are known for. It is anti-Igbo unity and empowers our opponents against us.

kikake:
Perhaps Adada as seventh state, not sixth state in the southeast, because fifth state in the southeast, Ebonyi, was carved from mainly Enugu state which contributed Abakaliki as capital of Ebonyi state.

Orashi state was the idea of Arthur Nzeribe. The idea was to carve out some LGA's from our part of Rivers and join with the 12 LGA of Imo West to create a state. I don't know why Gov. Udenwa rejected the idea and reverted to merging with some LGA of Anambra South to form Njaba state. Methink, it was the idea of Governor Mbadinuju to parly with Orlu zone to form a state out of Imo and Anambra. Had Nzeribe and Udenwa worked together Orashi state with capital in Oguta would have done seen the light of the day in 2001. Many of us in Onelga and Ahoada LGA would have reunited with the SE.
Adada state arose out of the failure of Njaba or Orashi state to be created. In terms of population, landmass and economic indices Njaba/Anim/Orashi state dwarfs Adada. Adada state agitators have nothing on Njaba/Orashi state, both are far apart in every aspect.

[s]Have Yoruba discarded OPC?


Awusa have even gone further to turn their one into islamic law enforcement. (hisbah police)



Everytime, yoruba will come here to advice on wat Igbo should do. I am glad that he even admitted that Yoruba through OBJ have been sabotaging Ndiigbo.


The only group that have united Igbos is IPOB[/s].

OPC got the Yoruba's the Presidency in 1999. They rallied their people into fighting for June 12 which culminated in mass turnout to vote in a Yoruba President.
MASSOB and IPOB on the other hand disenfranchises our people to vote. Since their emergence in year 2000 it has weakened the Igbo voting strenght, it has weakened our political fort in the Presidential elections. We use to be a force to be reckoned with until the coming of these grouops, with their useless sit at home orders and political apathy which benefits only our opponents. Now you see the difference between the OPC and IPOB. One is progressive the other is retrogressive.

MelesZenawi:
[s]Carry your state and link up with them but let others be... please[/s]

I'm not taking to an imposter such as you or the other dull IPOB illiterate who acts as his supreme leader directs him. This is an Igbo forum and I'm talking to my brothers.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Yet, you want to drag Igbos into a useless journey?

Sometimes when I envision the direction Ndigbo is heading I weep. It's like we don't control our destiny and we are played like a chess by outsiders, especially since the end of the civil war. The 1979-1982 civilian era was the right period to regain our emancipation but enemies of Ndigbo stucked through a coup. The north didn't orchestrate that coup because it wasn't to their interest. Those who financed that coup, financed the same coup in 1966. Ever since that time, we haven't risen up.
The anger many political conscious Igbo's had with Ekwueme was that in 1999 when he should have rallied Ndigbo he sold his soul to Obasanjo. Had he decamped to the ANPP and stand with Buhari and the north, we would have gotten back to our feet. Instead he remained with the PDP - a party that has uphold itself never to elevate us to the highest position of Presidency. Ojukwu and Okadigbo saw the light in 2003 each flying under the APC and APGA but many of our own people in the PDP still fought against them. Those who sided the opponents against our interest paid dearly for it. Nwobodo, Kalu, Odili, Nnamani etc
Ndigbo needs to re-invent herself politically. 2023 is a litmus test. The earlier our people come together, unite and fight for our collective interest the better for us. The SE Governors must lead the way in this aspect.

[s][/s]

[s]It is a shame that u cannot form the group to lead Igbo.

U seat in the comfort of your house to dictate, whilst others have gone both in body and spirit to find a better deal for Biafra.

Like, i said, we are talking Biafra not Igbo or Nigeria.

Get with the program. Biafra is our nation, igbo is just a state in Biafra. There are others[/s].

Ndigbo didn't send one supreme leader to fight for Biafra on our behalf. The coming of MASSOB and IPOB derailed us politically in Nigeria. Obasanjo helped form MASSOB to derail us politically. And our naive Igbo politicians allow it fester. The both demonic groups was funded by outsider's to cut Ndigbo to size, brain wash our youths and feed them to military bullets.
We wanted a better deal in Nigeria and the idea of Biafra was buried in 1970. Zik and Ekwueme led the way politically in 1979 and Ojukwu in 2003. We gained much when democracy returned in 1999 until the distractions and timidity of Igbo politicians in the federal that made them lose out to the minorities with the help of Obasanjo. GEJ's emergence was to cut us to size and it worked perfectly after the fall of Governor Peter Odili, Chamaroke Nnamani, Orji Kalu, Okadigbo and Ekwueme. All thanks to Obasanjo life President bid.
The greatest undoing of Ndigbo was allowing outsiders destroy our greatest political minds. There was no unity of purpose that was why we messed up when we should have come together to get what belongs to us in the federal. Today we have illiterates foisting their Nazi styled Biafra on our throats.
The earlier Ndigbo wakes up and dump IPOB where it belongs and foster a path through the SE Governors forum, linking up with the likes of Okowa, Wike, Amaechi and Imoke in the SS, forging an impregnable Igbo front the better for our future.

IPOB have put Igbo on the world map.


Open diplomatic channels to greatest nations on the face our plant earth.


Wat more do u want? We reclaimed IgwuOcha without a single shot fired and even paved the way for Ikwere to be reminded that their original name and identity is not Ikwere.


We shot down Asaba with protest and sit at home.


Got the blessing of Biafra war vetrans like Col. Joe Achuzia


Wat more do u want from us?


We laid down our lives, whilst u are comfortable at home and have gone both in body and spirit to drive home a just and worthy cause.


Nobody have done as much for Igbo as Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB[/s].

IPOB put what? What an insult. IPOB is the greatest mistake that has ever befallen Ndigbo since the civil war. Igbo is a great tribe that has distinguish itself the world over. Until the coming of the illiterate group headed by charlatans, Ndigbo were gaining grounds in many aspect.
As someone said, a new group must emerge to lead Ndigbo either in the geographical entity called Nigeria and in the negotiation table of a bleak country. IPOB headed by charlatans and Jewish wannabes are a satanic group that must be destroyed at all cost.

IPOB is the most stubborn entity you'll ever come across. I'm beginning to think their interest isn't to liberate the easterners or to unite Igbo's in the SS with the SE, rather it is a selfish desire to drink from the oil reserves in the Niger Delta. A selfish desire to join the north central to Biafra and create a south Sudan kind of country. This is why Nnamdi Kanu will forever be a joker and joke of an expansionist.
IPOB must be destroyed for the greater good of Ndigbo. This is the truth! The CIA using Nnamdi Kanu know what they are after. They're not after Igbo unity or the progress of the east per say, they are after their interest and if it means wasting millions of lives of our people through conflict.
Ndigbo must break from the yoke of IPOB. The illiterate army of youths enchanted by Kanu's message must be unchained. The group is demonic and is daft to understand the aspirations of many Igbo's. The Igbo Governors and other Igbo leaders needs to do a lot. It's time they rise to leadership.
The real Biafran ideals has been hijacked by charlatans, only the ignorant ones don't see this.

You guys are foolishness personified now...No need to bring you in

foolish confused hypocritical stupid people!

Your reverse psychology won't work on me. It may work on illiterate IPOB youth not us. Ambode's defeat in the polls was your loss not ours. You lots push him into his demise.
Sanwo-Olu is our man, you bigots should deal with it. Cry me a river.

Basic123:
But to Igbo people, Ambode is the next best thing after jolof rice just because of their hatred for Tinubu...the same Ambode they criticized for good 3 1/2 years!

Confused People,now that there OBJ they hated for good 3 years before he became there hero is now criticizing their Ambode ...what next for the hypocritical confused fella.

Don't bring Ndigbo into your foolishness. If you don't link Igbo into your mess you won't rest. You Yoruba's were the ones hailing Ambode and asking him to deal with Ndigbo post 2015 elections. I remember how you hailed him when he passed the Yoruba language to be compulsory in gaining admission from primary to university in Lagos state institutions. We don't forget easily.
Is the Ambode that ambadoned Badagry senatorial district, enforced the Iyaloja nonsense in Igbo dominant market or another Ambode. Or the Ambode that couldn't appoint any SE/SS into his cabinet?
Sanwo-Olu emergence as Governor is favourable to Ndigbo because of his liberalism. He has Fashola's attitude and carries everyone along. No wonder he won landslide in Igbo dominated areas.
So keep your tears to yourself. Cry me a river.

Nike Lake, Agulu Lake and Oguta Lake are tourist destinations in the SE. The respective Governors must do more to maximize the tourism potentials of these places.
