We Aniomas wear akwa ocha as shown in your picture with red cap as well as Igbo regalia with red cap as shown below by delta state governor Sen Ifeanyi Okowa who is an Igbo man.

Sweetlemon:
Anioma swag. Slightly different from pure SE but the red cap is unmistakeably Igbo.

If there are no major differences between us and the other south south, it then means there are no major difference between Igbos and South South.

Sweetlemon:
Igbo Deltans in the house na true?
The last time I was in Asaba, the Igbo Deltans wore bowler hats and all like other SS people although they also wear Igbo caps too. They also love fish too and they enjoy banga and starch like the average Deltan.
In fact apart from the Igbo language I don't see much difference.

Why do a m0ronic aboki like you always like comment on issues that concern South East and South South ?

Two highly placed traditional Rulers inDelta State, the Asagba of Asaba, Professor J.C. Edozien CFR; JP., and the Obi of Owa in Ika North Local Government, Dr. E.O. Efeizomor II OON; JP., have stressed the need for Ndigbo, no matter the geopolitical location in which they are based, to be united in the quest for Ndi-Igbo to again become relevant in Nigeria in particular and the world in general.



Professor Edozien made the remarks when he granted audience to a delegation of IWA, ASA World, CISA and EIC.



The traditional Ruler, a former academician, who received the delegation with a retinue of his fully attired members of cabinet, said that although Asaba people were located in the south south geopolitical zone, “most of my subjects hail from Nteje in Oyi Local Government of Anambra State”.



Professor Edozien noted that "nothing could be achieved by Ndigbo unless unity prevailed among members of the ethnic group irrespective of the geopolitical zone in which they are based”.



He appealed to IWA to work assiduously to resolve the crisis in World Igbo Congress, WIC, and, thereafter "IWA, WIC, ASA World, CISA, EIC and other Ndi-Igbo associations in the diaspora should pool their resources together to uplift the welfare of Ndi-Igbo”.



The Asagba expressed delight over the efforts of IWA, ASA World, CISA and EIC to project, through the museum on Igbo Village to be opened on September 17, 2010 in Stanton , Virginia in the United States of America , the contributions of Ndi-Igbo to one of the major civilizations in modern history.

On his own part, the Obi of Owa in Ika North Local Government of Delta State, Dr. E.O. Efeizomor II OON; J.P., said that research had traced the origin of Ika people to the Nris of Anambra State.



Dr. Efeizomor II who has been on the throne for fifty years, said that what was significant about the research was that it was conducted by Ika intellectuals.



The traditional Ruler said that although the “Ikas were making spirited efforts to identify and relate with Ndi-Igbos in the South East geopolitical zone, the efforts were not being reciprocated, hence a few Ikas have reservations over their affinity with Ndi-Igbo”.



The Obi of Owa presented to members of the IWA delegation a book to buttress his assertion that Ikas were, according to him, “proud Ndi-Igbo of Nri ancestry”.



Dr. Efeizomor II said that the entire Ika traditional institution was happy to participate in the Igbo Day that was held in Owerri on September 29, 2009 adding that “Ika people look forward to joining our brothers and sisters in taking part in more Ndi-Igbo activities in future”.

The chairman of the lecture, Obi Edozien, re-emphasised this point: “we Igbo people are one. We must stop fighting over irrelevancies and emphasise the essential.”

This point arose out of the tendency among Igbo people to regard some groups as not “real” Igbos on basis of dialectal differences. It also exists in the form of clearly Igbo-speaking people with Igbo names and cultural patterns declaring themselves as “not Igbo” but ethnic minorities.

This is very rampant among Igbo groups in the South-South zone who believe that by so self-declaring publicly, they would be more acceptable among the real minorities and allowed to take their places as ethnic minorities.

Experience has, however, shown that this self-delusion hardly ever produces their desired results. Whenever the push comes to the shove, the real minorities remind them that they are Igbo people who are out to take what belongs to the minorities through the back door.

This phenomenon was evident in 2006 when former Governor Peter Odili of Rivers State (who loved to call himself a “Rivers man,” as if Rivers State is a tribe) was running for president. Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark openly declared Odili an Igbo man, arguing that the South-South president that the minorities have been agitating for was not meant to go to “an Igbo man.”

Given this situation, there has been an increasing shift of paradigm. Many Igbo groups, especially in Delta State, have decided no longer to play the masquerade. The Obi of Asaba, Professor Edozien, actually laid out conditions he believes will cement Igbo unity permanently.

Obi Edozien then called on the people of the South-East zone to support the creation of Anioma State and another for Igbo-speaking people of Rivers State to make for seven states, all of which will be lumped together in one zone or region.

Ignore that goat.

ekenedegreat:
OK! The Op is dreaming abi? Alright, tell us the history of anioma or forever remain silent.

Ignore all the yoruba people creating threads about Anioma and pretending to be from Anioma. We the true Aniomas know the truth.

khupid:
Op, you are blessed with sense; dem neva see anything....that madiebo guy was from onitsha though

I have been following with disgust the numerous fallacious threads created by Yorubas and Hausa senseless bigots trying to cause division between we the Igbos on the western part of river Niger and our brothers in the eastern part of the river Niger. It is obviously you people are completely ignorant of our history and relationships with the eastern Igbos. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT MANY OF OUR ANCESTORS MIGRATED FROM THE EAST AND HAVE STRONG RELATIONSHIP THE EASTERN IGBOS.

Below are some Anioma towns and their place of origin:

Asaba migrated from Awka and Nteje Anambra State

Igbuzo migrated from Isu Imo State and Nri Anambra State

Ogwashi ukwu migrated from Nri Anambra State

Okpanam migrated from Anam, Oba Anambra State and Anioma

Ogboli migrated from Nri Anambra State

Ishiagu migrated from Awka Anambra State

Abah migrated from Nri

Illah migrated from Nri, Anambra State

Ejeme migrated from Nri Anambra State

Ewulu migrated from Anam Anambra State

Ute Okpu migrated from Nri Anambra State

Owa founded by Odogwu and his brother Ozomo who migrated from Nri

Akwukwu migrated from Nri Anambra State.

Akwukwu Igbo migrated from Nri Anambra State

etc

The above are just few examples of Anioma towns that migrated from the East of the Niger.

Many Anioma sons played prominent roles in the biafra war, some of them are Major General Onuatuegwu from Ogwashi Ukwu who was the head of Biafran Defence Headquarters, Major General Madiebo who commanded the Biafran Owerri division, Col Joe Achusia from Asaba who headed the western Biafran brigade, Brigedier General Okonjo from Ogwashi Ukwu, Col Nwadei, Capt Anuku from Owa, Ika who was Head of Biafran Navy, Major Kaduna Nzeogwu from Okpanam who led the battalion in Nsukka etc. Western Igbo will always be part of Biafra.

The babaric federal troops committed war crimes in different towns of Anioma killing innocent men and women as well as raping some ladies. The Anioma nations will not forget the atrocities committed by the weak and shameless Northern and yoruba soldiers in Agbor, Ogwashi Ukwu, Asaba, Okpanam, Issele Ukwu, Onicha Ugbo, Igbuzo, Ndokwa, Ukwuani and many Anioma towns although many of them met their shameful death in the hands of gallant and brillant biafran soidiers.

LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR TO ALL YORUBA AND NORTHERN SHAMELESS M0RONS THAT SHOULD BIAFRA BECOME A REALITY, THE ANIOMAS WOULD BE PART OF IT BECAUSE WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PART OF IT. WE CANNOT BE DECEIVED BY YOUR BIGOTRY PROPELLED PROPAGANDA.

What percentage of project completion would you estimate based on the level of work you saw ?

asha80:

I pray that Rochas makes Imo State more beautiful.

?

I have a 20 tons 10 tyres truck for lease in Lagos. Interested parties should let me know their business proposal.

God would judge all those who try to subvert the wish of the Abia people because of greed and selfish interest. The APGA candidate won the election fair and square. There was no election in Osisioma, Obingwa and Isiala Ngwa local government areas yet massively rigged results were presented to INEC from these areas. THE INEC OFFICIALS SHOULD KNOW THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ACCOUNT OF THEIR ACTIONS TO GOD WHEN THEY DIE

Investors worry over delay in approval of Energy FTZ

Tuesday, 20 January 2015 18:50
Written by Sulaimon Salau


INVESTORS and technical partners have expressed concern over the delay in the approval for the Enugu Power and Energy Free Trade Zone (ENPOWER FTZ).

Indeed, the financial commitment of the investors that run into billions of dollars have been laid dormant with accumulating costs, investment proposals for coal fired power projects and other coal conversion technologies dust in the shelves.

Investigations showed that the ENPOWER FTZ is yet to come into effect after 19 months when President Goodluck Jonathan granted the request by the leaders of the South East zone and declared that his administration would establish the first free trade zone in Enugu - the first ever of such facility in the South East zone.

Anxiety over the approval of the facility prompted business and socio-cultural leaders in the South East and South South geopolitical zone to request President Jonathan to influence express approval of the facility, which he promised during his visit to Enugu State some 20 months ago.

The ENPOWER Free Zone covers over 1,000 hectares designed to accommodate up to 500 companies located in three Free Zone Areas at The Ninth Mile industrial area, The Akanu Ibiam Airport and The Coal Processing zone. The facility is also expected to create over 30,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities.

Rising from a meeting in Lagos at the weekend, the stakeholders passionately demanded the Federal Fovernment to urgently give official effect to the presidential approval.

The President of Aka Ikenga, Chief Goddy Uwazuruike, said the president’s promise was genuine, sincere and in the best interest of the people, wandering while relevant agencies in his administration were reluctant to realize the mandate.

He called on the Minister of Trade and Investments, Olusegun Aganga, to expedite action on establishing the tax haven which, according to him, aligns with the Transformation Agenda of government in creating wealth across all spectrum of the Nigerian society.

Uwazuruike pointed out that the aspiration of the FTZ for the South East was to leverage investments that would create jobs, enhance productivity and generate revenues for all stakeholders in the Nigerian economy.

Other businessmen and investors who have already staked efforts in driving the realization of the free zone lamented that the resources they mustered for development of industrial facilities in the highly anticipated free zone have continued to depreciate after laying fallow for too long at a time of rapid changes in the local economy.

It would be recalled that Hamex Engineering of India and Enpower Energy, operators of the Enugu ENPOWER FTZ, have already signed an investment cooperation agreement.

Chairman, Hamex Engineering, Saxena Nagendra, noted that industrial activities in the ENPOWER FTZ would boost the fortune of the country’s power sector, ensuring steady and stable power supply in the near future.

He restated that his company is setting up facilities for the manufacture of transformer resins and related chemicals in the proposed Enugu free trade zone.

Speaking in the same vein, Special Adviser to the Enugu State Government, Dr. Jude Akubilo, explained that the Free Zone project would help alleviate poverty in the zone through the creation of over 30,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities.

He said, “The Federal Government has made power generation and power sector reform a key priority, which will be actively supported by the proposed free zone, adding that Enpower Free Zone has met up with most of the requirements by the necessary authorities.”

He further stated that the project would serve as an important Foreign Direct investment (FDI) destination for Coal and energy related industrial activity in the South East zone and Nigeria in general.
