Sharap there!!! Liar.. I am Igbo too, but this nonsense dick measuring must stop! How can you compare Lagos to Onitsha in terms of economic viability?? You dey whine me? Even in terms of integration and class of people doing business there. Onitsha can be compared to maybe Kano or Ibadan.
Same way most successful entrepreneurs in Nigeria started in Lagos! That’s why I said most of you are pure illiterates. So does that mean they are all from Onitsha? You didn’t even mention Aba that is more like a self made business hub even though it is landlocked with no major waterways around it!

The way people bomb this thread is a testament to the greatness of IMO state, the second most built up state in Nigeria.

Tweeter, Facebook and other platforms keep wondering at the level of progress of the once “land of hope” and now the “eastern heartland “

I was analyzing with my colleagues few hours ago in Beijing, and we realized all state capitals of SE and SS still has same ambience with Orlu, characterized by dirts , sands on major roads, to large coverage of streets without tars

The only difference between Beijing and owerri is well defined side roads and skyscrapers

#Hepingli street, Beijing
What’s the difference between here and most parts of new owerri ? Just side walks

Shameless fellow. You people are the reason Owerri has continued to be a glorified village due to so much hype. Owerri is the only state capital in southern Nigeria where okada is still in use. Look at world bank Owerri, this is the biggest neighbourhoods in Owerri . Shameless people

By Implication are you saying that Anioma is not Igbo? Are u saying we should throw our child away with the bathing water? But Late. Gen. Chukwuma Nzogu is an Igbo man? History have it that onye Igbo led the first military coup right?

Anambra and Anioma are brothers as far as Igbo is concern... Atleast everyone noticed the closeness between Ifeanyi Okowa and Obiano during their tenure as governors. Everyone See's the closeness between Elumelu, Ossayi (former Delta dept speaker) and Anambra elites,... We inspire each other to grow Atleast Anioma state will increase Igbos voting power and number of Representatives both in Red and green chember.

Coming to government appointment, the number of appointmentees does not lie on number of state. Tinubu appointed 1 or 2 ministers for each southeast states but each Southwest state is counting 3 or more.
Some northern states are as big as all southeast states yet each of these northern states have more government appointmentees than southeast counterparts.

Coming to development: Development is not when you divide every Igbo community/town into a state. If not, why is Orlu ppl still complaining even when their kinsmen hv been ruling Imo state from administration to administration? Development depends on the ppls mindset and orientation. I can prove it with fact.

I guess we are dealing with a lot of illiterate s in this forum. I thought I was discussing with an educated critic "."

irisher:
You guys should stop educating these vil.age Orlu folks with their "victims cards playing mindset" because it's already in their genes.
Ekeukwu Owerri Market was demolished by one of their brother in government to make way for that already dilapidated white elephant Imo International Market in Orlu.
Most of the rich men in Orlu zone do not have any investments in Orlu region, they're either in Owerri or other Nigerian states.
The folks that are happy of these proposed Orlu state are mostly lowlife Orlu villagers that want their region to become a capital and greedy Orlu politicians.

Do you know that in 1976, when Owerri was made capital of Imo state, Owerri was a semi rural town of five villages?
Do you know that in 1976, the difference in urban modern development between Owerri and Orlu was minimal?
Do you know that because of this state creation which Owerri anticipates for Orlu zone, that's what made Owerri literally seize all government institutions that should induce human and economic development for Imo state, and got all located in Owerri area? Now you call Orlu village with only dillapidated white elephant market.
Do you know that considering the history of states creation in the southeast, a 6th state for the southeast must come from Imo and Anambra States or from any of the two states?

irisher:
Proposed Anioma state is more important to Ndi Igbo than the already failed Orlu state.
I'm not saying a new state should seize to be created from South East region, even if a state should be created let it come from Imo state alone, I repeat let Imo state be divided in two fragments.
You should therefore exclude Abia and Anambra communities that detest to ever identified as Orlu state or to share things in common with Orlu folks.

Owerri was a state capital of old Imo state while Orlu was a typical village, and there're so many differences between Orlu and Owerri in terms of
urban modern development.
A city is not only developed by having government institutions or being a state capital, a city is collectively developed by an effort of an individuals and the strong entrepreneurial skills and mindset of the people living in the state or a given geographical region.
Orlu folks should focus more on developing their town, because the self acclaimed Orlu city is not developed and is not business viable.
Orlu can only be developed with the help of Owerri that's a bitter truth for Orlu folks that they don't want it to come to reality.
Orlu city is not way in comparison with Otuocha city, Umueri(Anambra) in terms of good planned layout, economic viability, commercial activities & Industries and urban modern development.
Otuocha city development is the entrepreneurial mindsets of the present Anambra East LGA, Oyi LGA, Anambra West and Ayamelum LGA, Awka and some Ndi Igbo with help of British for city planning.
Otuocha house the biggest foodstuffs market in Igboland.
The same Umueri folks are currently building the biggest International market in Nigeria by landmass(at Ikenga Umueri) without the aid of any government.
Why do Orlu people always embarrass Ndi Igbo by trying to leave Imo State Union? That is why other tribes say that Ndi Igbo do not like themselves, but that's not true.

And for you, are you so much engrossed and fixated on this issue of Orlu state creation and badly wants the state created simply because you feels marginalized by Owerri people and believes that having Orlu, your own state would offer you the opportunity development since the state capital will be situated in your Orlu region? Because that's exactly what all your arguments and comments here look like.

Objectivist04:
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
.

Onyechimereze:
I have discovered the problem with Anambra low level ranters is that most of their villages have no identity of its own. So they all converge under Anambra and use it to camouflage their inferiority complex. Very pathetic
What a very angry bunch

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.

Miserable dirty Aba p1g, stop smoking the filth in Aba, no part of Anambra shall be part of your useless Orlu state. Anambra is supporting Anioma. So you know that Anambra has nothing to offer except business but you are happy to have them in your useless state because you know they have billionaires. Ewu, what is Orlu ,Orlu, etc bringing to the table aside poverty and backwardness. Mumu there’s no part of Anambra that’s interested in joining you people in your Orlu state. There’s no town that’s interested in leaving a monolithic state like Anambra to a useless state you clowns are bandying around.

Anambra is a monolithic state and so shall it be. We know you guys evil plan is to partition Anambra so that you will rejoice and go home and sleep in peace, because right now Anambra has a monolithic state is giving you envious bitter frustrated people sleepless night .,

Abia and imo state should create the new state , Anambra is not interested

This your write up shows you're still a child that haven't gone to anywhere in Nigeria.
Onitsha is known by its standard affordable cost of living, lowest poverty rate, highest clusters of industries & factories, highest concentration of billionaires, highest numbers of importers, biggest market in Africa, most urbanized city in Nigeria, Onitsha is among the city in Nigeria with arguably no slum apart from Okpoko that's already getting a face-lift.
When it comes to commercial activities, Anambra has about 290 international and major markets compared to Lagos that has 52 markets.
In 1997, only Nnewi city statistically has about 200 major industries(Nnewi is Onitsha metropoly) Numbers of industries within Onitsha are countless now.
Lagos can only boast for having a functioning Seaport, having many clusters of Oil companies at Ijegun Satellite town, Lagos Island, Lagos Trade fair, Idumota, Ladipo, Mile 2 - Maza Maza Bus terminal(it's arguably biggest bus terminal in Nigeria) Ikeja city, having many foreign consulates, and Chinese & Indian companies.
But most of these economical activities in Lagos aren't reflecting economically to residence and indigenes of Lagos state because of high unemployment rates in Lagos, highest cost of living, high poverty rate, and having the highest slums regions in Nigeria.
Aba is only known for its production of clothing and shoes, there's no other economical activity in Aba that dwarf Anambra.
I'm not dick measuring, both Anambra & Lagos are the most important state in Nigeria, you're the one suffering from inferiority complex by mentioning Onitsha, Anambra & Lagos to your local Aba and Orlu enclaved region.

Chikeluba25:
hahaha..... These people are chronic chest beaters honestly. That is how they were beating their chest that Anambra lawmakers endorse the insurgency state in disguise (Orlu) until Anambra lawmakers started giving them gbas-gbas; maybe they thought they were talking to ppl who do not know their onions. Now he is persuading himself to believe that Anambra money magnets are from fictional Orlu clan just to feel good. He forgot to include Arthur Eze, Nnewi North and South, Awka... the funniest part is that he was bragging how Soludo and Hope will resolve their case even when the only two town mentioned in Soludoes Aguata are Uga and Umuchu.
You don't blame them because every tom and dick wants to be associated with Anambra to have a sense of belonging. Who does not admire Anambra harmony and success?

It's becoming clearer everyday that the Orlu state jamboree was inspired by infirioriy complex.

Let them keep having wet dream on Anambra splendor while southwest take Ohaji/Egbema away from them and give it to Southsouth.

It will be a very interesting game to watch. Atleast in future, ppl like Amah70 will tell my grandchildren how Ohaji, Egbema are not Igbo just like he is saying about Anioma of today.

I don't know why some of you think like stone age men that use every opportunity to denigrate themselves and make themselves appear very cheap before onlookers . The past State creations and future State creations have and will always be based on administrative convenience and balance of development. The Orlu State proposal and reactionof people like you shows you don't know past history nor present history of the areas involved in this creation. No part of the Orlu State is richer than the other in any way. You can't say Uga is richer than Akokwa or Umuchu is richer than Njaba or Umuaka is richer than Uli. Everywhere in the proposed State are full of multimillionaires but they are the most affected by the recent insecurity in both States. The reason the Orlu State is not needed is not because of the fake Anambra ethnicity but because Southeast is small and if you remove Northern Imo and Southern Anambra to form a State the remaining States will be too small and the new State will be a problem as it has nearly same population density as Lagos. There is no land for mega projects except maybe at Ohaji and Oguta LGAs which are boundary and not central. Anioma is the best bet for a new Igbo speaking State while the minorities should also be tolerated.
