This no be complaints section na

Lol . . . .what is happening here

Anyone can claim what ever they want to be for the sake of economic expediency.

The others can read those links i posted again ( carefully this time ) as it shows clearly that the message in those links is an eye opener and you can only resort to insult as usual.

igbo boy: bros na by force to label anioma as an ethnic group?

I dont suport igbos in the east forcing Ikas to be igbos but i dont want anybody forcing me to be Anioma cos is just rubbish

No one is forcing you to be anioma as you can be whatever you want to be within the anioma collective identity and that is the essence of the whole thing. The most important thing is that we share and cherish things that are unique to us, focus on some certain ideologies and outlook to life etc. The same way you claim to be a Nigerian, Biafran, African is the same way you will claim to an anioma so i don't see the fuse that you have been making all over the thread. There are igbos outside of Nigeria as there are igbos in anioma nationality and at the same time igbos existing in another nationality across the Niger.

The way we claim to be igbos, yorubas, hausas but we are still part of Nigeria and africa is the same way igbos, enuani, ikas, igala, ukwuani all come together to be under the anioma identity . People evolve and decide what they want to be, the most important thing is that we do not forget good relations with other people around us. If you don't want to be under the anioma identity then you are free to link up with igbos across the niger instead of imposing igbo on every other ethnic group within anioma. Telling you that you are anioma does not stop you from still being igbo in the same way that it does not stop an Ika or ukwuani man from being Ika and Ukwuani respectively.

olisaokere: And for your second link,Guess Mr Okecha has become the spokes man of Ndokwa.Make i hear word joor

That is our apex organization so i don't see the issue you are trying to raise with that, the position of an apex organization carries a very strong point. To you other response, you failed to see the fact that he never referred to all aniomas as igbos but only some communities in mostly aniocha/oshimili. We have already told you here that anioma is made up of igala, ika (benin+igbo), ukwuani, ulukwumi, enuani (or igbos ) and you cannot use one ethnic group to impose on the others.

Anioma is a collective name and within that name you can be whatever you want to be which include to be an igbo, ika, ukwuani, aboh or whatever you like and i don't see how this is a problem for you guys. Claiming anioma identity does not make us enemies as igbos of the east are still our brothers and closest families.

Same policy applies in china where you can only set up a company by joint venture and that is how they were able to learn from the westerners. It is the right thing to do and same should be applied to the Chinese, Indians and Lebanese in Nigeria as well to empower Nigerians and learn from their expertise.

Anioma origin and identity settled here in this link . .

This is for ukwuani people

This is good and hope other universities will go this route as well.

olisaokere: But then Anioma is not an Ethnic Group neither Ika is.Try to get that into your brains for once!

Show me where anyone said anioma is an ethnic group on this thread, cant you dig up the comment for everyone to see. Ika and Ukwuani are ethnic groups the same way isoko, benin, isan, itsekiri etc are their own ethnic group. Every ethnic group has its origin, we know when yoruba and igbo ethnic group started so there is nothing wrong if anioma becomes one tomorrow.

pazienza: The joke is on you, if you have enough brain, you would have gone through this thread from the beginning, and if you did so, you would have seen Obi of owa's documented opinion on this issue, and you would have equally seen colonial documented opinions on this.

For a guy who wouldn't even accept Delta state government official take on the issue, i doubt you have any need for all those other documented official opinions. You are a joke.

When did personal opinion becomes fact or truth, a people are whatever they call themselves and no foreigner can do that for them. You are the biggest slowpoke i have ever seen here on this thread if that rubbish can be classified by your fish brain as official government documentation.

I challenge you to post the same information for all the local governments in delta state here right now or shut your dirty mouth. I can not believe in my widest dream that someone can be so foolish to post that trash as government documentation.

^^

Have seen any Anioma person here on this thread expressing his or her desire to join the Benin Kingdom?, we have always stated our ethnic identity here and where we belong to so keep on deluding yourself.

pazienza: Haha! Do not be afraid, Your king say Ika is Igbo, your urhrobo, itsekiri, edo and ijaw neighbours say ika is igbo, your government say the same, and the Igbo tribes across the niger say the same, even the white colonialists said the same.

Seems like your journey back to bini will be sooner than expected. *grins*

Please provide documented evidence for each of your claim . . .the joke is on you if you don't know.

^^

This delusion is becoming so hilarious lol . . . . who born the state government of a multi ethnic state to tell the constituent ethnic group their identity?

Official my black feet lmao . . .

^^
Get out of my sight if you can't answer the damn question . . . we are done here as i do not have time for your meaningless points because reality will soon dawn on you.

igbo boy: confused anuofia.

Go back and read up little fool.

This anioma debate must be one of the most discussed topic and it will be interesting to see how it will be resolved eventually.

[quote author=One_Naira]He's asking what is Anioma because you and you ilks on here said it's an ethnic group therefore I'll help igboboy expand his question. since una said it's an ethnic group, tell us this ethnic group history and language. Tell us this ethnic group cultural identity and tell us why each and every eze on that ethnic group acknowledge they are igbo while una say it is an ethnic group. As far as we know Anioma is an ACRONYM created by Osadebe, who equally saw himself as an Igbo man therefore he didn't create the acronym because he wanted to create a tribe/ethnic group. I am 75% Asaba, 25% Ogwashi Uku and I'm proud to announce that. I am PROUDLY an Igbo man. F2k this una "anioma" ethnic group una want to start. Why the heck should we be the ones to leave when we outnumber una. Una that say you are not Igbo should be the ones to pack out and go to benin. #see door, follow it. Abeg[/quote]Grow up and discuss like an adult . . .also present evidence to those assertions in your writeup before you will get answers to those.

lekkie073: am hibernating......thank god someone remembers me

Our one and only publicist from last season? . .. .. . Have you been sacked or really hibernating?

^^

Answer the damn question instead of bringing this your tired example of your wife over and over again.

igbo boy: Nna bros what is anioma?
Ok lets leave igbos from the east.. face me. come and tell me what Anioma is onye ara...I represent oshimili 100% and by moniker you can tell where my allegiance lie so Eff Anioma, Up Oshimili and Up Ndigbo..

No one is forcing Anioma on you so you can kindly cross over to the other side and join whoever you deem it fit are your brothers and sisters. You can't be this stupid to be asking me what Anioma is after 103 pages of discussion on this thread. So why not go back from page one and read up, little uncultured kids are the ones who throw up meaningless insult everywhere so grow up little fool.

wesley80: PDP most probaly will, but i'm not sure it'll be Okowa. Ochei seems to have the momentum at the moment and has been hosting lavish political gatherings. However, there's a dark horse in the PDP race that seems highly favoured - Omordi George Ugbomah. The othes two candidates are from Agbor and Onicha Olona respectively, both considered core Delta North while George Ugbomah a three time commissioner who served both under Ibori and his nephew is an Ndokwa from Aboh and rumoured to be favoured by the powers that be for his loyalty unlike the others. The issue of "acceptability" also seems to favour George as the rest of the state seems to be unofficially averse to having a core Delta Northerner as governor and may be more favourably disposed to someone of the more familiar Ukwuani and oil producing area extraction.

The bolded part indicates that they only want a puppet that they can control and this does not really sound right in my opinion. This will never lead to development as this person will still be subject to the cabals that put him there. I think it is best we have our own separate state as there is something really negative behind this ethnic politics being played by the so called core deltans, is this about oil or what exactly?.

Afam4eva: I read somewhere that Ogboru has decamped to the PDP.

That was his brother and with the way this delta politics is being played, i will not be surprised if power still remains in the so called core deltans. This is one of the reasons i am more disposed to having a separate state for the anioma people to avoid all this ethnic politics that does not actually lead to development.

PhenomenonVFX: Personally, I dont see how a state will help Anioma. I hope we get a state but I dont care about it.
Since it is the same politicians and leaders of Anioma extraction that will still be in d new state, I fail to see how that will change anything. These guys are the average Delta politicians; corrupt and utterly incompetent.
The day I beging to take Anioma state seriously is the day I see more seriousness and willingness for development on the part of Anioma leaders.
I dont see any difference between what Delta looks like now and what Anioma will look like with these same politicians.

One is a lesser devil and can easily be defeated than the other, having our own state is best for us as we can rightly control our destiny in that capacity. I would like us to discuss the possible ways our leaders could have developed aniomaland without having the control of the state governance?. Do you mean willingness by the local governments ( care takers now ) and assembly members to use the little allocated to them in developing aniomaland or private and collective efforts by well to do anioma indigenes in developing the state?.

tonychristopher: such funny people.....what are you bringing to the table...pls don't rope anioma into your crisis of identity cos they are anioma not animals....stick with you and you alone. and know anioma is an acronym....biko

I doubt if you belong to any anioma, ika or ukwuani group to know the real sentiments, so i will just leave you in your delusions until reality catches up with you.

^^

There is an anioma 2015 agenda thread, please try to visit that and lets discuss about anioma stuffs too, they are all wasting their time with their propaganda.

It is not our tradition so it should be done away with, time to go back to what our fore fathers practiced.

^^

If that's the case then having an Anioma centric discussion is definitely needed but i would prefer it goes beyond the governorship and state creation agenda to include other areas of importance.

I just have this feeling that Nairaland is populated by Yorubas and igbos mostly because the other ethnic groups are silent in the politics and culture section.

What is the population of anioma people here on nairaland?.

Breaking News!!! . . . . . Flaming Penguin is Missing . . .


That guy no let person hear word last season lol.

Ibime needs to go back to the Gods his fore fathers served that brought him those early success .

It shows that the education policy of lagos state is very flawed and at best substandard, education is a right for every child up to secondary school level and even to those so called unintelligent students.

The only hygienic food is the one you prepared with your own bare hands so stop deceiving yourself with all those packaging, i have seen it all.

^^

Bragging rights ba ?

There has to be a balance between nepotism and competence if OYO state is ever going to move forward.
