It must be noted that the clamour for reunification of Anioma known as Western Ibo in the past started in 1939 and not today.

The backlash that came with Ibo tag post civil war as demonstrated in Asaba massacre made many of our Western Ibos take a tactical cover from Ibo tag to save their lands from minority neighbours all around them and from FG persecution.
It's been over 50yrs post civil war, alot have changed, Igbos are not longer a weak group, we have recovered all we lost and are now standing strong again.
Our Western Igbo brothers now know it's time to come back home.

Judging from what you said aforementioned

So, when the going was tough they denied us now we've recovered and are no longer a weak group now they want to come back abi? what a treachery at the highest level.

Skydivine:
I have never seen where existing and established cities are added to a new state. How possible is it to yank Onitsha from Anambra and pull Asaba from delta state just to create Anioma state?
There is no equity in distribution or sharing of assets in such.

Parts of Enugu and Abia made up Ebonyi so what's your point

horsepower102:
As an Anioma indigene, my dream has always been to join my kins in the south east.

The ekwumeku resistance was the beginning of the Balkanization of igbo land. The British added us to the then western region because the guerrilla warriors were traveling across the Niger to hide from the colonial British after they attack.

They British knew fully well that we are Igbos because they themselves added us to the 1903 map of Igboland.

That said any Anioma person that believes that they are Edo is free to travel there and live.

No inch of Igboland will go to outsiders.

I can see you have gone mad...when they start calling you fake igbo hope you wouldn't run back. Now pack and leave to the south east. We are not IGBOS!!! simple

Zulu11zulu:
that is the best solution not olu state the south east should support him on this.

Anioma is igbo land igbo land is anioma land no body can separate us wee will get there.

Go and join them there and leave us be. Is it by force to belong to a by force Jewish people that call Delta's and iqwerre people fake. Move

43Ronin:
Exactly! Orlu state just doesn't make sense cos it's basically dividing up the 5 SE states. Let's get our brodas from the 9LGAs of Delta back to the fold. That is the right thing to do. Ohaneze time to do something sensible for once in your lives.

This demand for Anioma State was there in 2006 when the Ohaneze you now call on adopted Njaba as the proposed 6th state for the SE. The Ohaneze knows that commensurate political representation of people from the SE zone is main driver for a 6th state in the SE zone. Proposed Njaba state in 2006 is the same thing as the now proposed Orlu state.

Small yansh dey shake!! You need therapy boy!!!

Can you arrange me those your tears inside a bucket?

mrvitalis:

Papayaayasager:

I support the creation of Anioma State to Orlu state.
@AnsMedia, what's your take on carving a whole Ozubulu into Orlu state?
Doesn't make sense at all.
Ndi Ozubulu no ebea,are you guys ok with it?

You and who are not Igbos? does Delta North look like Osogbo to you?

Creating anioma state from Delta State, a South South state. Hmmm.

KGBKremlin:
No naa Igbo land cos anything is from Yoruba, I blame Yoruba people for accommodating ungrateful people like you.

put away childish rants and celebrate with us, your useless rants is getting tiring

Hankim:

Me and the entire Delta North. Go and convert the nqwerre people. Leave us alone ooooooooooo. No be by force abeg. Ukwuanni is not and has never been igbo.

Zulu11zulu:

Oh hoooo..... didn't see your comment before I made mine.
Supported!
Infact, would have been better we demand for Aba state.
Orlu state indeed

Pennilessword1:

Is your brother Ned who is calling for this move not the SE poeple so, kindly transfer you aggrestion to him and leave us be

mrvitalis:
Exactly why I feel Onitsha, oguta in IMO, ndoni egebma, ohaji, and ogba in rivers should all be added to anioma they are one people

Please we don't want balkanization of Anambra State. Onitsha remains with Anambra

I swear the real Igbo man died in 1970, we are trying to ensure the disintegration of this geographical location or at least slowly transit from regionalism to that final bus and some Igbos are advocating for more states.

pazienza:
Thank you nwannem.

Ibu onye Igbo?
Never read you in this platform.
Looks like it's been years you left here?

Nnoo nwannaa

KGBKremlin:
Creating Igbo state in Benin land are you people normal?

How's Anioma Benin land ? You Westerners are so daft

KGBKremlin:
No naa Igbo land cos anything is from Yoruba, I blame Yoruba people for accommodating ungrateful people like you.

do you have any choice ?
Until your Nigeria gives them the Biafra they have been clamouring for , not even your papa and your ancestors have the right not to accommodate them , if ACCOMMODATION is the word you chose to use.

By the time they are gone , it will be dawn on you that you have not even started. You have been living under their glory and off their efforts.

You are a Lazy wailer

I am from Aniocha but this man should shut the f up. Not everyone wants to join any region becos some people from my region in delta north will also argue that they are from benin direction and not from the eastern Onitsha direction so how do they intend to test the popularity of this bill with the people?? Will they conduct a referendum to truely get the opinion and choice of the people which should be a no-brainer before even considering it tru this bill sponsored by this awon celebrity enjoyment senator..

Hankim:

That is an Abobaku disguising as a Delta Igbo person, don't mind the werey

West African Pilot was Azikiwe’s own Newspaper

Do you have a more Neutral Newspaper that carried the same story?

You don't deserve reply because there's no utter of sense in what you wrote, spit

all this playing to the gallery. Nobody is creating any new state anywhere. The SE despite having only 5 states are actually the most represented geopolitical zone.

Papayaayasager:
Is your brother Ned who is calling for this move not the SE poeple so, kindly transfer you aggrestion to him and leave us be

One man made noise and suddenly everyone should follow suit?? Is Ned speaking for the entire Delta..?? who send am?

FYI he isn't my brother. Let him move East if he so wishes. We aren't forming any new igboland

pazienza:
Yes it is.
The SE Senate and house of representatives should now have a consultation meeting with those in Delta North including Igbanke, to work on actualising this noble plan.
Ohaneze Ndiigbo should be the ones to anchor this meeting and make it happen.
The Orlu state agenda is good, but bringing Anioma back home( reunited with kin and kiths in SE) where they belong, and allowing the minorities to move capital of the remnants of Delta state to Warri, is a
win-win situation for all involved.

Anioma is rich in crude oil and gas. Asaba is merging with Onitsha to form a mega metropolis.
The state is brimming with human and natural resources and is very much viable.

Ndiigbo let's push and make this happen!

keep deceiving yourself, warri does not have land anymore to be capital

ottalo:
You people are just talking with out your brains including the senator. You want to create a state in south south region, and this said Anioma is not even in SE, just like going to SE, to go and create a Sw state in SE.

Illiterate, south south is not a region but ordinary political zone, go and help your mother for kitchen this matter is above your level.

Ode from ravaged uninhabitable place wants Delta, continue dreaming after you've sacrificed your dead Biafra for ritualist.

That's my state below.

tishbite43:
If you are a true Igbo man, you'll understand the reason behind Anioma State
I'm sure you know the parable of the shepherd and his lost sheep in the Bible
For sure, the SE deserves at least a state but the need for greater Igbo unity can't be overemphasized
SE is the Igbo heartland. It is safeguarded for now. What's important now is getting at least two Igbo states outside the SE to keep the Igbos under one umbrella. Igboland has been balkanized after the Civil War. We have to get our acts right.

Tufiakwa. Anioma land is not a lost land. Anioma is only separated by the Niger River from the SE zone. And the separation by River Niger does not interfere In the unity between Aniomas and other Igbos in the SE.
Nd'Igbo, and more reasonable Aniomas, NEED, I emphasise NEED, Anioma to remain in the Southsouth zone; Nigeria's unitary govt system of sharing revenues from Abuja underscores the benefits for Anioma being in the SS, and to the people of the SE zone.
Let us put on our thinking caps first before commenting.
Yours truly is not against the agitation of Anioma people for a separate state from Delta state.

Hehehehe......even on page 1 of a single thread disagreement don show.

It's a fact that it's nigeria that is keeping Igbos one, or else if u get biafra today-today, you'll tear one another to pieces.

You guys have a common 'foe', hence ur pseudo-unity, but once that common 'enemy' has been eliminated, na to descend on each other remain.

ggood:
Igbos have started with their disunity, allow Orlu State scale through first

pazienza:
No disunity.
Orlu state proposal is good, but Anioma is better!
