I said it here that there is no way he can pay for medical bill of all the patients in a large hospital like UNIPORT Teaching hospital but some slow and dumb people here didn't believe me.,

Even Dangote go hear am if he pays the medical bill for all the patients in such a big hospital.

ExudeLoveToAll:
You don't know Rivers state then, go check all rivers presidential elections from 1999 to date and come back for the discussion.

Check from 2019 downwards not during the free rigging era, when both rivers and Anambra and even imo with Enugu were churning out numbers in millions .

How many votes did Rivers record in 2023 presidential election, check governorship because it is even lower.

If you are talking about states with massive votes, you will count 10 before Rivers, not that all those ten have more registered voters than Rivers bit the question is always how many people will come out to vote .

What endeared Tinubu to Wike is not the votes but Wike's influence in PDP and the country at large plus the huge oil wealth in Rivers state..

Tinubu won 2023 election because Wike used the G5 governors to destabilize PDP.

oilykid:
I heard that some contractors works were revoked due to poor works.

Unless that is the case because I know road projects Abakpa being handled by eketeson a Nike son being abandoned for months now.

Amah70:
In 2006 when this same state was about to be created as Njaba state, why was it popular then? Is it because of the change of name now to Orlu state?
It's popular among the knowledgeable Igbos who are to make decisions on what the name shall be. These hoi polloi will not be there to decide.
There are Gombe, Ekiti, Ondo, Kaduna states; what's wrong with Orlu state?
As for Njaba, there is already Njaba local govt area. So common sense goes for Orlu state, Orlu has been the oldest name for which people in the area identify with.

Above all, given the history of states creation in the southeast, Orlu zone is meant to contribute the nucleus of a sixth state in the southeast area. No amount of radio talkshow in Enugu or Anambra or Owerri, can stop that justice from getting done.

This is democracy and democracy is all about majority, even those in the national assembly are there because the majority of their constituents voted for them.
If the majority of those that matters are for Anioma their is no way it will not fly,
People who are supposed to be part of the so called Orlu state are kicking against it and you are still optimistic, if that is not delusion then I don't know how to describe it again.

You have labelled all the Imo governors of
Orlu descent incompetent and you want others to come and join you in your so called Orlu state, people that couldn't develope their zone despite dominating the leadership of Imo state.

crestedaguiyi:
You don't know tunubu well, the guy is good in this game of politics.

His silence is too loud .
He knows he can easily weep the governor's into line with federal apparatus so he wants to silence the current strong men, elrufai,wike and ganduje all former governor's of states with bloc votes

Which block votes does Rivers have ? Check Katsina, Kaduna, Bauchi or even Oyo, they produce more votes than Rivers.
The interest in Rivers is not about votes but the wealth of the state , if you are linking their interest in Kano to votes it will be more understandable.

Rivers just like other eastern states has issue of voter apathy

Kwaramustgoodag:
and kano and kaduna. Even their so call KKK. He already lose abuja and Lagos. Highest he will go is to kuku divert to regional government, so that people will praise him. Lol.

I am not his supporter but he didn't win any of those states in last election but still won the poll, if you remove his votes in Rivers where he fraudulently won and give it to Obi the real winner, Tinubu would still have won.

Amah70:
Lol. If you had listened to Sen Ned Nwoko to the end, he never campaigned for Anioma state to be a state in the southeast area.
If he asked the people there they will say no to bringing them in Anioma State to join the southeast area.
Except Asaba area, other Aniomas are the "my name na Chikeluba, but I no be Ibo."
Even Ned Nwoko was Chinedu Nwoko but removed Chi from his name to avoid identification as Igbo.
In 2006, Reps of Orlu zone in the Refotms Conference asked for Orlu state because they knew the nucleus of a denied 6th state in the southeast area should come from Imo West (Orlu) senatorial zone. The State was about to be created as Njaba if not that then Senate President Nnamani threw away the baby with the bathtub. Only a foolish Igbo person would think of Anioma as sixth state in the southeast area; a foolish person who does not understand that it amounts to reducing representation of the Igbos in the federal government system.

Ned nwoko has never denied his Igbo identity, I once heard him advocating polygamy among igbos, citing out forefathers who were polygamists. Even though I don't agree with him on that but just to let you know that he never denied his Igbo identity.

About his name, are you also saying that Andy Uba and other igbos whose real name is Nnamdi but chose to shorten it to Andy denied their Igbo identity ?

What about people like Jim lyk ?
Toney Umez ?
Kach Ononuju and many other Igbo that shortened or modified their Igbo names to make it sound exotic ?

A popular radio station in Enugu made this issue a topic of debate in their yesterday evening program and those for anioma overwhelming dominated .
All the callers who are from Anambra spoke against Orlu state including majority from enugu , only few imo callers went for Orlu state.

Orlu state is not popular and that is the fact

RecentHistory:
FFK fokkd that wawa Bianca for free. He didn't even need to buy agbo jedi.
Fokd her, seized her pant and kicked her out.
Go and look at her kids and see who they resemble.

This truth pained you, wetin concern me with bianca, I am just telling you what I observed.
No igbo man will spend such money on ordinary Yoruba woman no matter how rich he is but afonjas will break the bank just to appease igbo women.

Buying ring worth of billion for Igbo lady while dragging his Yoruba baby mama over child custody . what a shame to Yoruba ladies heaped on them by their men.

virginchaser:
Bro, have you visited Enugu Shoprite before and now? You will feel sorry. Apart from food prices that have gone beyond the roof. Please don't tell me it's allover the country. Enugu is exceptionally expensive and low purchasing power. It's even worse outside Enugu. Reason why people shouldn't stop supporting relatives in the village.

I don't understand what you are saying, enugu ShopRite is booming, Roban now has 5 malls in enugu alone and nsukka outlet is coming up. Food cost is high but people are not starving here and it is not cheaper elsewhere

You are a poor economist, there can't be high price in the midst of low purchasing power, it doesn't just make any sense because we are told that high demand leads to high price.

The most lucrative business in Enugu now is real estate, no matter how costly a house is it won't take a month before it will be fully copied, can that be said about any state in SW aside Lagos ?

this is a huge money a Yoruba man is spending on Igbo woman, I also remembered broke FFK bought a brand new Range Rover sport for his now estranged Igbo wife some years back but Igbo men are beding Yoruba women with second hand pants and bra.
Some will have to only but agbo Jedi and nack the seller.

This life no really balance

Okwyjesus:
They don't travel.
He is a local breed bigot

My brother l just don't understand these people, they will form an opinion and keep repeating it wishing it will be true,

But that local breed bigot really got me

Such description applies to ogbomoso, lragbviji and ibarakpa breeds I guess

Digitron:
Which of them?

The road from ugwuogo park through ugbene 1 to timber market is abandoned.

The amuri road from nowas stopped in front of MTN office and from there to Texaco junction seems to be abandoned.

After sand filling obinagu road , it was left like that for almost two months now

These are short short roads the longest is ugwuogo ugbene that is not more than 2.5 km
Nowas is about 1.5 km , obinagu is about 800 meters, roads that ordinary shouldn't take More than 3 months to complete.

Honestly Ugwuanyi is more serious when it comes to project execution, Mba seems to be sleeping on the job.

One year has gone but the governor that promised to construct 10,000 kilometers of roads in 8 years has not done up to 100 kilometers.

I have never seen any government that took enugu people for granted like this man, made bogus promises but don't even care to fulfill half of them.

No major road project is going on in the entire state just few street roads that he always reduce Thier width.

Mba might end up as a failure

oilykid:
Ok.. hope they build a modern infrastructure there sha and not another mediocre project. We need something very modern looking

Hmmmmm
Ugwuanyi had already started mediocre project with his one storey blocks of flat like buildings with red roof, l don't think Mba will do any better.

They need to go to North and see how public buildings are designed , our governors are too local for my liking only Sullivan stood out.

Can you imagine Ugwuanyi renovating house of assembly complex with visible roof ? If okpara could come up with world class design 60 years ago, why should ugwuanyi take us back in 21st century.
He also roofed the international conference center with a visible roof made of red faded roofing sheets, I don't know if that style of roofing was the original plan but I doubt

Digitron:
Which of the roads are eyesore?

If you say this in Idaw River, Abakpa New Heaven, etc; you will likely get beaten.

Some of his roads in Abakpa appers to have been abandoned

DevilsEqual:


Safety first
They shouldn't risk loosing more men to ipobs madness

Little by little, the region is becoming desolate... indigenes are running away, now Govt Officials

You will just stay at oshogbo and be shouting people are running away,
A lot of people are trooping in here resulting to high cost of rent but if believing that people are running away will make you feel good, then carry on

LibertyRep:
Safety of their men.

Those who turn soldiers and police to shooting targets won't hesitate to turn on an FRSC officials, even if they are there brethrens.

But I remember when you used to urge soldiers and police to use them as target practice, so table has turned.

I am not in support of killing our security agents though.

B2mario:
gov. Mbadinuju and gov. Udenwa supported it before. And had it been it was created, both of them would have fallen in the same state. Sen. Hope Uzodimma and Sen. Chris Ngige supported it and Hope Uzodimma knew what would have been his fate if the state was created then. So if Gov. Hope and Gov. Soludo fall into the new state they know how to settles their scores.

And pls we are not forcing anybody. Any Anambra community that doesn't want to be part of the state should be carved out. The real people in Anambra that will be part of the new state know themselves. Anambra has nothing to offer aside business. Those Orsu and Isu clans in Anambra state since the creation, what have they benefitted from the state if not them removing from their sweat to give the state. Brother, shun this fantastic pride, Anambra has nothing and nothing to offer.

Only that her citizens love defending it even when they know that there is nothing in the state apart from their hard earned sweat invested in it. Orlu will provide them with many better opportunities and reintegrate them with their Orsu and Isu kins in Imo state. The new state will be the new pride of southeast as 70% of Igbo known billionaires will fall in the new state. The new state will be the moving training as over 70% of Anambra billionaires from either from Isu or Orsu clan of the state likewise in Imo state will fall in the new state.

I am not from any of the states involved.
What I am saying is that the state creation might trigger constitutional crisis and you can't rule that out.
A new state that will be home to two governors presiding over two other states , how will you explain that ?

Otamendi99:
Lol. D play, wetin u talk no hold water. Both of dem no go step down. Dey go dey incharge. Even if dia LGAs r in d new state. Only tyn is, d won't be governors again in d new state.

How does it sound to you that Soludo that is from Orlu state is the governor of Anambra state , during festive season when he needs to travel to his home town he will now go to another state and thereby leaving the state he is governing ryt ?
If Orlu state materializes before 2025 Anambra election where is soludo going to vote since his polling unit is now in another state ?

Can you imagine a governor developing a state he is ruling but can not do anything in his hometown or local government because it is within another state ?

Pls it can't fly, it is just impossible

An average afon. is reckless, lacks morals, is not faithful to any religion nor spouse, Give his small money or fame and he will begin to terrorize p∆ssies

Thank God this man did not become president, we really dodged bullet.

Abiola and Fela are two Nigerians that people focus on their few good positive side while neglecting their overwhelming negative part.

B2mario:
Who are you, who is seeking for your opinion? Are you a king from any of the communities you said?

When Anambra was created first in 1976, did anybody seek your opinion on where to place Ozubulu and Okija? You are nobody in this context. The issue has been finalised and if you don't like it go to court. Okija and co was under Orlu division and must be part of Orlu state.

It marvels me how some unguided fools take Anambra to be a subethnic group in Igbo land and wish never to divide it upon the huge population of the state. Stop acting like a low class human. The people who know the template for state creation in the southeast have already started their work and will soon finish it. Ohaneze and ndi Eze are aware of this template.

No state in southeast was created on tribal line, the first two states that were created out of the East central state were created on the context of balancing population between the two new states, IMO and Anambra. Which at the end they still had slightly two unequal populations.

Children of nowadays, due unphathoned reason or pride started seeing Anambra as a subtribe whereas no two clan in Anambra speak the same dialects. Those of them that were under Orlu division like Ihiala, Nnewi south, Aguata and co originally speak Orlu.

Your attitude is one of the reason our elders and leaders are considering and are bent on dividing Anambra. We don't want to have another Ikwerre in the nearest future. This is how it all started. Being proud of having Portharcourt as their own, discovery of oil in their land added more to the pride, developing a unique sense of identity, and using civil war as excuse to separate completely which we are still battling to integrate back to fold.

Before the presentation of that bill in the lower chamber there was due consultation before going to seek for the support of other members from other zones. Your governor, senators and Hon. members were aware. And they know the procedure or template for new state creation in Southeast. After the creation of Ebonyi state east of the southeast between Enugu and Abia states the next new state will be created West of the southeast between Imo and Anambra state and the capital will be located in the Imo area of the state just as the capital of Ebonyi state is being located in the Enugu area of the state.


See your myopic and unwise reasoning, not considering the benefit attached to state creation. Upon the huge population located between Imo and Anambra you still want them to remain under the two different states. Go back to your school and demand for repay.


Finally, nobody is seeking for your opinion. Hon. Ugochinyere Imo has done what the Igbo elders and leaders asked him to do and the process has already begun and an ordinary man like you can not stop it because you are nobody. Your feeling of pride can not stop the progress of Igbo and all these areas in Anambra that will be part of the new state knows their Origin and cultural affinity not someone from Idemili, Onitsha or northern part of the state.


This new state wasn't the brainchild of Hon. Ugochinyere but that of Igbo elders and leaders, they only sent him for a message and he delivered it well. Ihiala, Nnewi south, Aguata and Orumba are willing and eager to be part of the new state. Their reps were there when the bill passed the first reading and up to now they have not said anything and you are on nairaland disturbing yourself.

I thought you said Anambra is a great state, so what will carving out of 5 LGAs do to a state known to be great whereas Imo state that is going to lose 16 LGAs has not complained anything or are you trying to tell us that the greatness of Anambra state lies within the Orlu area of the state. Don't be enemy of progress, this people from Anambra south want to be part of Niger delta as the National Assembly refused Anambra as a whole.

Lol, it will be easier for a camel to go through a needle than for Orlu state to become a reality.

Why did I say so ?
Do you even realize that the current governors of both imo and Anambra fall into the proposed state ?

Are you now saying that Soludo and Uzodimma should step down as governors of their respective states and go back to Orlu state or the creation should wait till after Soludo' s second tenure in 2030 ?

How can you propose a state that will see two serving governors becoming none indigenes in the states they hold sway ?

So in your mind both Soludo and Uzodimma will support Orlu state so they can step down as governors of Anambra and imo respectively and come and become ordinary citizens in the new state ?
Or they can continue with governing their states even when they are no longer indigenes of those states ? Ok , if they are to continue with their current states ( as one must not be an indigene to govern a state ) and a governor is elected for the new Orlu state won't that make Orlu state to have 3 indigenous serving governors ?

I don't see this flying unless they should wait till 2030 after both Uzodimma and Soludo must have been through with their two terms but then , the Anioma state which is more popular might just size the opportunity
.

So as small as Lagos is with large development there is still cheap land in the state

does that mean u should stoop so low to using charcoal

Billionaire my foot

Even all Americans can’t claim to b billionaires let alone a lonely economic desert in south east Nigeria

Oga nobody is using charcoal unless restaurants, I don't know why you don't have common sense, the price of gas is coming down and you believe that people are using charcoal.
Try and get sense pls

Sensetional news from the stable of afonjas.

Enugu residents cook with gas not kerosene, so if they could afford gas when it was sold for 1300, how can they now resort to charcoal now that gos is 900 to 1000

I can't even remember the last time I saw a kerosene stove. What we use here is gas and electric stove.

Biafrans now calling for help from the Zoo ? This is unbelievable

Call for help because a random individual posts something here ?

Well , if that makes you happy and gives you the satisfaction you yearn for, it is ok

My problem is that no erosion becomes this threatening over night, it starts as just a water way and gradually becomes a crater and then turn into gully.

At the initial stage a trip of sand could have arrested it but it is always ignored

Sharpsharp00123:
is it a crime for a Nigerian to take over from Hilda?

Not a crime but they Agbadorians want to turn it to tribal stuff, so we need to shut them up first before arguing whether it is ok for a Nigerian to take over from a fellow Nigerian or not.

seunmsg:
I thought we all agreed no Nigerian should attempt to break any cooking record after Hilda Baci?

Is Hilda still the record holder ? A record I think she didn't held up to two months before someone broke it last year .

This lady is taking over from someone else not from Hilda.

ScratchDtoto:
Remember mutalab the Nigerian that converted to Islam and wanted to bomb American plane

Mutalab did not convert, he was born a Muslim.
.it was the other benue guy that bombed Abuja bus terminal that killed many people during Jonathan regime that was a convert.
I think his name is something Oguche

Brandosky:
Your last post shows you are not even sure of the number of local govts we have in anioma. Yet you call someone who is not even guessing a kid. You are the one sounding like a kid here.

There is no point going back and forth with jobless trolls like you. You have plethora of problems in this country, but you are more interested in the region the people of anioma will join. A potion of pepper that use to cost #50 as at december 2023 now cost more than #200 . A cup of beans has jumped from #120 to #450, but you are more eager to know where anioma will join.
You are not from anioma. Senator ned nwoko is from anioma. He is the one sponsoring this bill. There are other senators from anioma, who can oppose this bill. But you from south west, have decided that it is your job to represent the people of anioma.
You need to go and find a job.

Ok, if we must even debate this topic. Can you give me reasons why anioma has to join south south region as against joining south east region ?

I don't think there is other senator from anioma. Ned nwoko is the sole senator representing anioma unless you are talking about reps which they might have 3 or 4 members

paramakina202:
They are not dumb,was there any bill for Anioma state before Orlu Bill was presented in House of Reps?
Secondly how are you sure that ANIOMA state currently in SS region will be carved to SE before or after it is created?

The proponents want the new state to be in south east, I don't think there will be any opposition to that

Even if anioma state fails, the best bet for igbos is Adada state that will bring in kogi and benue igbos into south east.
That just like anioma means additional population and additional land mass . We need to be strategic in this, further balkanizing the two smallest states (by land mass) in south east just doesn't make sense to me.


If we don't expand westward let's expand northward but not dividing out tiny region further

Maxxim:
It's really sad, actually. Sometimes, I wish these people could sit down and think through the consequences of their decisions. I often wonder if their actions stem from illiteracy or ignorance.
...and after receiving today's handouts, I hope they'll never go hungry again.

I don't understand how you guys reason, Obi defeated Tinubu in Lagos with a landslide.

Are you saying that those who voted for Obi can not go to Tinubu's house to seek for help ?
