We reject attempts to Igbonize Anioma. We do not inhabit the same historical and cultural space with Igbos. When ethnicity becomes subject to the elaborations of cultural identity politics, it often develops into a focus of symbolic contestation. Those wanting Anioma to become "Anioma-Igbo" undermine the efforts of our founding fathers who christened us "ANIOMA." Osadebay puts everything in perspective when he stated, "Strictly speaking, Ibo is a linguistic group or a language, not a tribe, as all Ibo-speaking people do not claim origin from any common ancestor" (Osadebay op. cit. 1978, p.14).
Reckless utterances and writings coming from some Igbo people, through Ohaneze Ndigbo and their internet forum intellectuals, that the creation of Anioma state would increase Igbo states, damage Anioma cause. The quest for the creation of Anioma state preceded the creation of the 36 Nigerian states.
Our Anioma ethnic identity is cultural self-definition and philosophical affirmation of our self-determination as a people who see themselves at the crossroads of contemporary Nigeria. It is a refusal to accept the transposition of other people's interpretive categories on Anioma. We bear the name of Anioma with exalted pride, dignity and fidelity. We cherish our distinct identity and unique culture. So, efforts to fit Anioma into the constructs and schemata of Igbo provenance are futile.

copy and paste either won't help u either. Bye bye.

Wise words! This has been a major reason why the south-east leaders failed to back Anioma on it’s supposed state creation from the days of Abacha till now. Imagine backing an Ebonyi state over Anioma in 1996. Such may likely repeat itself in the case of Njaba, Aba or Adada over Anioma if such mistrust continues. The only way an Anioma state can ever be created is if Ndigbo backs it and join it to the south-east but the Ukwuani-Ika denials are short-sighted to understand this. Their foolishness has for long delayed the expectations of the enuani’s. An Anioma state will never see the light of the day if those Igbophobic elements continue their macabre dance. Because even if push comes to shove, the south-south will first support an Ogoja, Oil-rivers, Afemai or Ogoni state before ever considering an Anioma state.

they think bini will back them with such moves. The igbankes in bini. Do u think that they will leave them to go.

Juliusmalema:
u even have time 4 that yoruba boy

julius u too. U are not igbo. Google translator can not help you

BENARI:
Frankly speaking a lot of my friend from the proposed Anioma area do not deny being Igbo b4 me, but I see they prefer to say they are deltans first before identifying as Igbo.

like I said, they join south East o, or Not, it doesn't add or take away anything. I would love the idea of them joining the southeast yes. But the fact that we're even discussing this subject indicates, we don't trust they would want to join the SE.

Rivers is predominantly Igbo, but they'd stone you if you ever joke about them joining south East.

Obi Igbo used to be part of Imo, but what happened? They opted to be part of rivers. Thereafter they renamed the town to Onyi Igbo.

To your tenth or Isreal Bro.

don't mind them. But for the ndoki they don't deny their igbo heritage. U should be talking about ikwerre. Ekpaohia... Ndoki are in abia state. Akwaibom. Ph

ofcos. That's correct. If the se don't back their anioma state. It won't stand cos the other niger deltan who are also clamoring for states will oppose. The ijaws are also fighting for a state. So who will support who in the ss

BabaRamota1980:
Do not derail this thread.

This is a very important discussion. Yoruba is a stakeholder in Anioma.

Our voice must be heard.

Do not derail thread. I warn you.

the Last I checked olukummi people is not among the aniomas. And they were not added to the anioma state

BabaRamota1980:
None of them fall in the classical Ibo indegeneity of Wawa or Ngwa, and by extension none is in the clan of Aro or Eri confederacy. So why are they called Ibo?

and for ur mind u made sense. Do u think that this place unmentioned is the only place igbo came from. That's y i told u peeps that u are daft and don't know anything about igboland

NonsoWow:
Creating anioma state will be a very wrong move that no sane anambra indigene will support. Anioma are not complete igbos. Geographically, they will still fall in south-south and igbos will lose out completely.

yoruba must please go and save ilorin from fulani rulers. I heard ekiti is on fire. Don't mind this impostor. I ave know him for a very long time and he is not igbo. Ignore him

Julieus what's ya p

OMANBALA1:
You need to keep quiet, Bini loving Anioma bbastard!!
I am still waiting for you to go bring your Onicha friends and face us squarely. Tell them there is an Idenmili guy on Nairaland that say they are nothing but inferior cowards!! May God punish any ffuccking Onicha man that disrespects us. Go and bring them but I know how the average Onicha man behaves , spineless set of Bini shitt eating losers

bia OMANBALA what's wrong with u. Watch ur words

aniomafirstson:
Get backstabbed by who
You just keep misquoting us
It is left for Onitsha indigenes to decide if they want to be part of anioma state or not.

personally. we can do without them. We already have asaba agbor and kwale

sorry bro. Am very sorry for dat

aniomafirstson:
Pazienza keeps saying keeps saying we are igbophobic etc. Words like this can't bring Igbo unity. Mind you I am from the ukwuani axis and I know many ukwuani people that are proud igbos. You are now beginning to say there are Igbo deniers in enuani area mind you I have not seen anyone not one Igbo denier in enuani. Most of you takes the words of the deniers hookline and sinker then lump all of us together. The deniers are in the minority.

Just recently an investigation was ongoing in agbor to know their origin.

60% of the indigenes said they are igbos
20% said they are not
and the remaining 20% were sitting on the fense.

aniomafirstson. Sorry for what he said. Every body is not perfect

hammer6F:
AS A PROGRESSIVE THINKER, I EXPECTED ANIOMA TO FOCUS ON THEIR PEOPLE IN EDO CRYING OPPRESSION AND MARGINALISATION.

BUT NO, LET US GO AND CARRY PEOPLE IN ONITSHA AND LABEL THEM ANIOMA NOT IGBO.

CAN ANIOMA STATE, CONSTRUCT THE BRIDGES FROM ASABA TO ONITSHA ALONE?

WAT IF OTHER PARTS OF ONITSHA DECIDE TO REMOVE THEIR LAND, WILL ANIOMA BE EXPANDING TO ONITSHA JUST FOR EZECHIMA VILLAGE?

THESE PEOPLE TALKING HERE HAVE VERY LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF ONITSHA METROPOLIS AND ITS COMPOSITION.

hammer oyel dey ur head. Our purpose here is to think of way of carving out igbanke

pazienza:
Then you are shortsighted.

Though for me, those Anioma people proposing the annexation of Onitsha, while they keep mutr over Igbanke and Ikalands trapped in Edo state, are also shortsighted.

Both groups, insisting that they rather have No Anioma state than lose Onitsha to Anioma, and the Anioma groups looking to Annex Onitsha but remain mute over Ikalands in Edo state, are hunting in already secured territory, when focus should be on recovering of lost territories.

Though, personally for me, until I see a concrete written agreement stamped and duly signed, that would ensure that Anioma state when created would be returned to SE it was separated from by Bernard Bourdillion in 1939, I would not support Anioma state creation, neither would I oppose it, I would rather support Adada, Njaba, Etiti,Aba states from SE.
Because from the look of things, the Ukwuani and Ika sections of Anioma are rabidly Igbophobic, and I'm beginning to doubt if they would ever want to have anything to do with SE Now or in the future.
We might end up supporting Anioma creation, only to get kicked on our faces by those two groups, with Enu-ani people having no option but to move with the flow.

Ndiigbo had lost alot playing emotional politics in Nigeria.
It's time we stopped that.

We recently saw Obi of Agbor Igbophobic press release, and we are no strangers to the deep Igbo hate going on in Ukwuani/Ndokwa axis. I'm aware that there exists Igbo denial is Oshimili/Aniocha(Enu-ani) axis, but I'm confident we stand a chance there, it's the Ukwuani-Ndokwa and Ika axis, that I had since given up hope on.

We would be stupid to ignore all these, and leave our various state agitations in SE, to go support an Anioma state creation that might end up refusing to leave SS for SE.

It's high time we replaced pragmatism politics for emotional politics.

Agadi nwanyi si na, Ugwu muta mgbaji ukwu, ya amuta, ejekata akwusi.

God will bless you my broda. Dat is fear of anambrarians. That they might let onitsha go and they will get back stabbed

Chigold101:
did Anioma People tell you say they wan wan join SE?

u see ya self. Where did u start following this thread. If u didn't start from the head. U should. We neva said that anioma wants to be in se. We are only discussing how we will help ourselves. As u can see. Anioma people are here who understands what we are talking about. Tanx

Lol. The unflavored people in this Nigeria is the ss and se. Arewa supposed to be the the London of Nigeria cos of the big chunk they get from the government but noo. They can't speak up do to their hate for Western education.

Enugu amaka. Igbo amaka. We igbos Making ourselves proud

aniomafirstson:
Can you guys dominate us

oga. U self. Nah point wey he make nah. That's what some people believes

ariesbull:
And the clown has the audacity to even put mouth when siblings are talking.....did he think we would be treacherous like him

let him go and settle the dispute between modakeke and ife.... Ijebu and co bfore putting mouth. He didn't even claim the olukummi. People nah ugbodu he wan claim

The fake cone head yoruba for the waste afonja thought by betraying his people he will be king not knowing that they don't trust him. Lol soon. Fulani will tell u who is the owner of the land

aniomafirstson:
Nobody is claiming to be from Benin
the important thing Is that she sees herself as an anioma lady

kkooo..she is anioma... Ka chi fo

aniomafirstson:
somebody will commit suicide today

did u see what the gal said mutual and cordial relationship in Benin but did she claim coming from bini. Ka emesia ura atubagwe m

An anioma state is a welcome development to an igbo man. They can neva be against it but if only we work together

Ikenna0b:
Aniomas aren't against being included in SE. We just want you guys to start respecting us. We're one right? So SE need to start acting like it.

nwa nnem nwoke okwonu otu okwu a ka anyi na ekwu kwanu. Let's start respecting each other

ariesbull:
Oh yes ..a lot...they say they are ibo not Igbo

abi. Lol. Forgetting that the britz couldn't pronounce igbo but ibo. Other Nigerian tribes will bear us witness

aniomafirstson:
We know our community in SE

Osadebay..azikiwe..Chinua Achebe are all anioma people

lol ekumeku war. That shows u that we are all broda. Do u know the might of Bini but it was brought to it knees. Don't u know the ekumeku wars were fought by deltan and se. Incase u don't know. We ave tales of ekumeku war... Guess where we are. Abia state. Lol.

ariesbull:
But some of you claimed not Igbo and came out at asaba and was shouting one Nigeria then...didn't they tell you that ? Ask around for the truth

thinking that they will be spared. To every bini man there is this subconscious that always picks them that u are igbos. Go ask the igbankes

ariesbull:
Is it your foot or is it your gun...let us keep shooting ourselves. It was south east that lobbied for the present Rivers State today... Ekwueme and co ..when Ijaws where lording it over

I don't have a problem with Enuani but tell your ika brothers to stop disgracing us and you...that's my take

eziokwu na enu inu

aniomafirstson:
SE keeps shooting themselves on the foot
ebonyi was already secured and in the SE region
why was it created and anioma left in SS yet you complain of deniers
