Ezewuzie01: The main problem with Orlu state is that they added Anambra to their madness. Anambra people are not agitating for a new state. Orlu people should have just maintained their 12 LGAs in Imo state which even has more LGAs than Bayelsa and Gombe instead of trying to steal parts of Anambra that want nothing to do with them.
If Orlu state is not viable there are others like Adada,Etiti state agitation etc.. it is not all about Orlu it is about SE getting a 6th state.
Ezewuzie01: How will they be merged with SE if you don't first separate them from the Ijaws, Urhobos and Itsekiris that they share their current state with?
We need gurantees from ndi Anioma and Nigeria government that ANIOMA will be merged with SE after creation before we sacrifice our own 6th state agitation for Anioma.Can't you get it?
EmeeNaka: if they become SS state, no problem. The SE will get additional state for equity. Nigeria need more states anyway.
You guys are taking things for granted.Why kill your bill when you are not sure ANIOMA will be added to SE?The two can be created at same time if Anioma is to remain in SS.
Ezewuzie01: They will be part of the SE with 9 local government areas clearly well defined.
There is no guarantee yet even Ned Nwoko is saying what is important is creating ANIOMA state whether they will remain in SS or SE. ANIOMA is obviously more than qualified to be a state however it can only replace the agitation for additional state in SE if they will be merged with us.
Objectivist04: I support him on this, A south east anioma state will give igbos and of course south east region more clout in this country. It means more population, more land mass and of course more voting power
Proponents of orlu state are dumb
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?
Ezewuzie01: The demand for Anioma State predates the creation of Old Bendel State, Edo State, Delta State, and even the Niger Delta and South-South geopolitical zones.
We have all the necessary resources to become a state. The agitation for Anioma State has been ongoing for over 30 years. Creating Orlu State doesn’t make sense. It’s like someone needing six fingers but, instead of finding the missing finger, he cut off one of his existing five fingers to make six. That doesn’t make sense.
What we need is Anioma State, not Orlu State.
- Senator Prince Ned Nwoko
ANIOMA state makes sense if it is going to become a southeast state but if they will remain in SS region then Orlu state or any other in SE is in order.
yyba: Nasarawa state Government should be careful ,before they claim they own the place and they are the ones that made everything possible for nasarawa state to succeed again
Abians are not chest beaters,we are well mannered.
Trump should be told in very clear terms, face your real enemies ,Russia, China, North korea etc and leave immigrants alone , dont be likewise Nigerian security that will leave combatants soldiers of Biafra and start mass starvation of innocent women and children to win the war.
Nothing like rigging.OUK is working for his votes. Abia North appreciates the work he is doing.No community that haven't benefited from OUK project either road,school or hospital. You can go verify.
fastseo: Built in 2024, Co||apsed in 2024, Ukanwa raises alarm of fa!led road project in Abia State
The collapsed Alayi to Ezeukwu road and bridge that are less than six months after construction will be useful to researchers doing comparative study of projects constructed for the purposes of rendering genuine service to the people and projects constructed for campaign purposes heading towards general election.
Unfortunately Alayi to Ezeukwu road in Bende L.G.A of Abia state is a victim of the later purpose.
The contractor rap£d the road instead of constructing it.
#Justice for Alayi/ Ezeukwu road and bridge.
By Ukanwa Ogbajie
Eziukwu bridge was built by His Excellency Dr. Senator Uzor Kalu - 29/01/2024
OUK have been attracting road projects to Abia north for many years now and most of thess road is still standing.The one he built in my community is still standing strong.I think this very Ezeukwu project was poorly executed by a corrupt contractor.What the community should do is to report to OUK for reconstruction of the road and bridge.
Tommydare: A typical igbo mentality. Very ungrateful.
Grateful to a man who does not respect his old age? He opened his mouth waaaaaa after smoking enough weed and called his fellow man wife and then first lady who never insulted him Sheppopotamus.Respect begget respect period.
[quote author=gidgiddy post=130490742]Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has warned President Bola Tinubu to stop referring to IPOB as a terrorist organisation.
Mr Ejimakor, in a statement on Friday, also warned Nigerians, including the country’s security forces and media organisations to desist from tagging IPOB as a terrorist group.
The lawyer said Mr Kanu’s legal team has the firm instruction of the IPOB leader to issue “the final warning” to all persons and institutions in Nigeria.
“Henceforth, any further reference to IPOB as a terrorist organisation will be met and countervailed with muscular litigation and other lawful measures, regardless of who the entity is,” he said. Mr Ejimakor cited a judgement delivered by the High Court in Enugu in 2023 which de-proscribed IPOB as the reason for issuing the warning.
“This is because there is a subsisting judgement of a competent high court in Nigeria which ruled that IPOB’s proscription/declaration as a terrorist group by (the then President Muhammadu) Buhari is illegal, discriminatory and unconstitutional,” he said.
“Compliance with this judgement strictly demands that IPOB should no longer be referred to as a terrorist organisation.”
Mr Ejimakor stressed that those calling IPOB a terrorist organisation were yet to adduce any evidence to show the group had engaged in any terrorist activity.
The lawyer argued that since the proscription of IPOB in 2017, no IPOB member had been convicted of any terrorist act despite “thousands of arrests, abductions, horrendous torture, fals e flags and allegations of extrajudicial killings” against the group.
You mean MNK the leaders of IPOB that vowed that he will bury Ikonso with 2000 human heads is that not terrorism? People in this video are nothing but terrorist.
kedeojo: So Tinubu has become NFF. Some years ago, FIFA warn that any government that interfere with their football federation, the country team face ban. NFF, coaches and even players at fault too.
Story if given the chance Nigeria will corrupt Fifa sharp sharp.Nigeria constitution said we are a secular nation but are we?How many billion did FG spent in this year Haj?
Zooposki: I think she got the spellings wrong. This is the correct info. One is a Nigerian and the other is a South African.
The 34-year-old Nigerian national, Jude Ikenna Ijegulu, and his 29-year-old partner Elizabeth Botes, from Centurion in Pretoria were sentenced in the Pretoria High Court.
Tommydare: The same way obi dey chase clout ba? Abi obi isn'talwayson trending news?
Peter Obi is a politicians while Soyinka is a pro clout chaser that was exactly what he did during Biafra crisis and the military put him in jail which of course made him famous and he came out capitalized on it and wrote his best book 'The Man Died' that is what made him.He contributed nothing for Biafra struggle.His good friend Chris Okigbo fought and died in battle field for Biafra.
