The existing quasi unitary government system in a multi ethnic and multi religious country destroyed Nigeria and its economy, not Tinubu.

But the drafter of the Bill should have known that the National Assembly is overpopulated by northern legislators through the excess number of states created by northern military dictators in the old Northern region.
The military dictators ought to have been made aware that land mass is not used as consideration in creating new states or regions in a country of different nationalities

Tinubu did not cause the killings.
Only blame Tinubu for not quickly initiating moves to return zonal or regional government system to Nigeria so that every zone or region will have its laws and policing system.

But in Nigeria, the civil war between Nigeria and Biafra is still being fought POLITICALY AND ECONOMICALLY by sections of Nigeria against the SE region; that is why Nigeria would not have a free and fair elections all the years.

So what do u leave for Imo State people, if u carry oil and gas?

We in Anambra state are our brothers keepers.

Orlu should develop in Imo State.

Owerri zone is already developed at the expense of Orlu zone, through education institutions and government parastatals in Owerri zone.
Owerri never left anything for Orlu to develop with, as Owerri cornered all the six federal and state tertiary education institutions and establishments for Imo state, and located all in Owerri zone during the military era.

When Imo state was cut off from old East Central State, people of present Anambra and Enugu states that were left in Anambra State then knew that Imo state would have all the oil producing areas; but people of Enugu and Anambra States never objected to cutting out Imo state from them. Today, how much better is Imo state compared to Anambra and Enugu states?

From more reports released after their session in the House of Reps, the representatives from Anambra south actually supported the bill. It seems proper consultations were done before the bill was passed.

Who will not like to be part of Orlu state with the largest amount of natural gas deposits in Nigeria, as well as an oil producing area since the 1970s?
All these mouth wagging people who claim they are from Anambra State and say they don't want any part of Anambra state to join Orlu, are most ill-informed.

Adada already has University of Nigeria.

Proposed Orlu/Njaba state has the largest natural gas reserves in Nigeria and has been an oil producing area since the 1970s. Ohaji-Egbema LGA is in Orlu senatorial district.
University? There are two universities in the area of Orlu zone. If you add the university at Uli in Anambra South, that's three universities.

Now you want them to divide Enugu State again to get Adada state. Those from Imo and Anambra States who were agitating for Orlu/Njaba state before Ebonyi state was created, don't they have equal rights with people in the former Enugu State? Be considerate.

Honestly, it is ridiculous that our politicians, especially from the south east are so concerned about creating more states rather than focusing on making the existing states more viable, productive and sustainable.

What is the essence of an orlu state that will translate to more government expenses than improved level of development.

I would rather the government focus on developing the local governments, Local Government autonomy, creating more local governments and empowering the LGA to develop the areas in each state.

Then merge the state you belong to in order to save money for govt of Nigeria.

Imo state university Uturu okigwe is not in Owerri.
Imo polytechnic (now university) umuagwo ohaji is not in Owerri.
Federal government college Okigwe is not in Owerri
All the other proposed state institutions like colleges of education, teaching hospital etc etc are not to be sited in Owerri it's just poor rulership made them not to be functional.

I don't know how federal government located both futo and Federal polytechnic nekede in basically the same community. And Alvan Ikoku sits besides government house and Medical Centre.

The abrupt relocation of imo State university to Owerri, at the site that might have been girls secondary school, was because of dividing Okigwe into two just to give Abia a university to start with.
Poor rulership again played into this as none of the proposed IMSU permanent sites (njaba, mbaise, oguta etc) have come to fruition.
LET IT BE MADE CLEAR THAT ORLU ZONE HAS BEEN THE ONE RULING IMO; Udenwa 8yrs, Okorocha 8yrs, Uzodinma 8yrs. Arthur Nzeribe, Izunaso and many other notable Imo politicians are from ORLU zone.
Currently Orlu zone has two state universities, teaching hospital, international market and one state polytechnic. So how is it Owerri holding them

Why would any person or group wishing well the entire Imo state go to locate Imo state university in Owerri when Federal university of technology, the Polytechnic, Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Federal College of Lands and....etc, were then, and still, in Owerri zone, but no single tertiary education institution in Orlu zone?
No other state in Nigeria did that sort of inequity in distribution of government sources of modern development.

Development could not come from a vacuum to Orlu, despite the number of years govs from Orlu zone steer Imo state.
Conservative estimates: about 95% of income to Imo state circulates in Owerri zone alone as a result of denying government institutions to Orlu zone.
By the way, the population of
staff and students in the two latter-day state tertiary education institutions in Orlu zone is not up 1% of the number of staff and students in the 6 government tertiary the institutions in Owerri zone.
Recently, Owerri dragged a federal university teaching hospital for Imo state and got it located in Owerri.; the same Owerri where Imo state Specialist Hospital and Federal Medical Centre also exist.
Owerri and Orlu zones continuing to share one Imo state is like perpetuating arrested development in Orlu.

That Ugochinyere must be very stupid to think he can include Anambra portions in the fictional Orlu state, which obviously won't see the light of day.
Anambra people will never agree to form part of it.

A Yoruba man will not mind a 6th state in the SE because he understands the potential advantages for the south of Nigeria.
It's some most politically ignorant Igbos who don't understand. The fact that parts of Anambra south zone was merged to rest of Anambra state when the present Anambra State was created does not remove the fact of the cultural linkage between parts of Anambra south senatorial zone and Orlu senatorial zone.

History of State Creation in the SE:

East Central State was the mother of the present 5 SE states..

1) Anambra and Imo States got created through dividing East Central State.
2) Anambra was divided into Enugu and Anambra States; while Imo state was divided into Abia and Imo States.
3) Ebonyi state was created from mainly Enugu State with few local government areas from Abia and Imo States.

Therefore a 6th state for the SE must be created from Anambra and Imo States. That's where this Orlu State proposal has been popping up first since 2006 because the people in the south of Anambra and West of Imo have had common ties since gboo.
But Owerri and Orlu have no common ties. Guess why Owerri left nothing for Orlu to develop with.

Owerri zone stripped Orlu zone bare of any government tertiary education institutions and establishments during the military era. All the 6 federal and state universities in Imo state are located in Owerri zone.

Presence of these govt institutions and parastatals in Owerri zone has made nearly every once rural community in Owerri zone now become sn urban sprawl with modern infrastures.

Orlu was denied everything.
In 1976 when Imo state was created first, there were little differences in the levels of urban deevelopment between Owerri and Orlu. Now what do you have in Orlu?
Ndi you don't create a new state to kill an existing state.
This time na thunder karaka awaits una. Why are some of you people so wicked in that Imo state?

When East Central State was divided into Anambra and Imo States, Ndi Anambra knew that Imo state contained all the oil wells of then ECS. But Ndi Anambra never resisted Imo state to be separate from Anambra state.

I dont know if you're right to say that i am lying. All I know is that i saw orashi state clamours in the media headed by no less respected constitutional law academic late prof ben nwabueze.

Also, an anambra of mbadinuju era might be interested to be lumped into a new state, but not an anambra of today, with the fast pace development being deployed across the state and the almost iron cast power sharing and rotational agreement that has offered every part of the state a sense of belonging.

You suffer from egoism that is not rooted in facts, assuming you are from Anambra State. What makes you think that Anambra State is more advanced economically and politically, than Imo state? Imo state for example, has the largest reserve of natural gas in Nigeria. In terms of Income per capita, I don't think Anambra state has more than Imo state. You capitalise on a temporary violence that started in Imo state and included neighbouring parts of Anambra state, to demonise Imo state.

No 1 point is that in 2006, the agitation was for orashi state and not orlu state. The agitation was headed by late prof ben nwabueze. Orashi was to also incorporate parts of western igbo areas.

No 2 point is that using aba and onitsha in this instance doesnt suffice. Both Umuahia and Awka were used as counterweight to the renowned status of both aba and onitsha as international commercial centres.

In this case you think uga and ozubulu will cow to orlu because of ugo chinyere?

You lie and there is no sense of history in your comments.
Orashi State demand then was an afterthought of late Arthur Nzeribe because of Nzeribe's political squabbles with the then governor of Imo state, Achike Udenwa. Ohaneze Nd'Igbo had already adopted Njaba state proposal and sent it to the Senate before Nzeribe came up with his Orashi State proposal with Oguta his hometown as capital. Every saner person then knew that Nzeribe was on political grievances with his Orashi proposal.
That Awka is capital of Anambra state does not mean that Nnewi or Ihialla is cowing to Awka. Stop burning yourself over irrelevant matters. What matters is getting commensurate political representation in Abuja for the SE zone as well as what the SE deserves from federal allocations through a deserved 6th state in the SE zone.
