LOL, bia, you're abroad, Write Anambra on a piece of paper and ask them to say it.
You are only lying to yourself.

So now you think Omagbala is named after Anam? LOL.

You're just typing online, and we're just reading. Nobody is following you.
Anambra was created by Hausa people, spelled by Hausa people based on their pronouncation of Omagbala. Period.
the English accent will pronounce Anambara as Ahnombruh.
Ever abroadian anambra people call it Ahnombrah lol. Hausa people will say Anambra perfectly, but if you ask them to say Omagbala they will still say Anambra. That's where the name comes from

I can't dwell on this information. It is a political craft. Every Orlu man or woman want Orlu state not minding the boundary or the name. And it will be created with their kins in the other side of the boundary called Anambra state. Every state in southeast is just a political boundary not a cultural boundary. And truly, I don't have time for this unnecessary argument online that can not yield anything in the real life politics.

I think I've said everything I have to say about this state issue. And don't have to be flopping on it. The truth is that the creation of this present Anambra state in 1991 and the wrong information they started feeding their children have done more harm than good to ndi Igbo. Always thinking that everything good must 1st come to Anambra or be identified with Anambra before going to any other Igbo state. And also the use of claim that Anambra state is a monolithic state to brainwash their indigenes in order to make them see themselves as being different from other Igbo States whereas it is not true. Our history before 1976 should be consulted and the dialects and culture spoken and practised by every clan in Igbo land should be used as yardstick to judge who they are and who is their brother.

I don't see the rational behind the notion that isu in Anambra is different from Isu from IMO state and Orsu in Imo state is different from Orsu in Anambra state. Is it that there is no elder in the land?

The sixth state by fairness, justice and equity should come from Imo and Anambra and the capital must be in the Imo part of the state considering the population in these areas. But considering what we are hearing now that Orsumenyi and ihittennasa or Orsuihitteukwa are not brothers because they are in different states I think Anambra part of the proposed state should be allowed to be except if our elders will have different stand from mine.

No state in Igbo land has a single tribe in it even in Anioma in Delta state. Orlu has been an Orlu name and does not belong to a particular town or people. Even the town called Orlu is occupied halfly by Isu and halfly by Orsu tribes of Igbo. And the majority of the area called Orlu today was part of Onitsha province and the Orlu division then contained majority of the people in Anambra south. So how can someone said that they can not be part of something they have been part of before, only that politics desolved the boundary and put them in two different states.

Onitsha Wikipedia still recognised Orlu as part of greater Onitsha metropolis remembering her old and initial boundary. Pls let the people from these areas speak for themselves not someone from far away area.

Is Babangida an english man? LOL
Does Babangida pronounce things like someone from Niger State or someone from London?

If they say Anambra is more beautiful than Dubai just say " OKAY "

The courage and audacity you guys put into writing nonsense is baffling.
Well I don't blame you guys sha. If Hope Uzodinma was a serious governor, this thread would have been getting more development news and not these senseless discussions.

B2mario:
Orlu is the oldest state creation movement currently in the southeast and must be created as the 6th state in the southeast. It is long overdue. And must be created out of the old Onitsha province and will be home for all Isu and Orsu divided in between Imo and Anambra states.

Orlu was and is still integral part of greater Onitsha or Onitsha province and southern Anambra is an integral part of Orlu. So let the case rest and wait for our elders to decide.

OnoVegasBlog:
You are mistaken. It's Aba State, but the desire to erase the Ngwa identity led the Eastern leadership to block any attempts to create Aba State.
They cited concerns that the Ngwa people might deny the Igbo identity and revive issues like the abandoned property problem in Aba. While the Ngwa now identify as Igbo, it hasn't always been the case.
The same applies to places like Arochuku (formally Aro Obasi Ibom), Abiriba, Itumbuzo, Asa, Ndoki, and in fact, the majority of Abians trace their origins to the Ibibio and Efik peoples.
I wouldn't be surprised if ancient Ibibio territory included parts of Imo State, given that the name Imo (Imoh) is of Ibibio/Efik origin. Its variant is Umoh

Like we say in Nigeria, government is a continuum. If Rochas Okorocha had built quality projects, Hope Uzodinma, regardless of how bad he is, would've focused on other areas.

Today, he's building something as basic as roads, including those Rochas Okorocha claimed he constructed. These are pictures of roads Hope Uzodinma completed recently.

The 2.7km Toronto/Ekemegbuoha road and the 8.4km Toronto/Orji road.

Make una kwontinue with drivels: create Aba state of 7 local govt areas but leave Imo state of 27 local govt areas intact.
The Deputy Speaker of HoR in charge of the House committee for constitution amendment flexed his own new found power. He conscripted local govt areas from the five states to demand for Etiti state; thereby leaving Enugu and Ebonyi states tinier, each left with about 10 or 11 local government areas. But he wants Imo state to remain with 25 local government areas still because he wants his own Etiti state.
To deny the Imo-Anambra location naturally fit for a 6th state in the south-east, some Igbo people manufacture tales from the moonlight.

Beremx:
Don't tell me there's still Anambra supremacy going on on this thread after I stopped visiting this thread years ago.
This is the only thread that reminds me of the old nairaland of yesteryears.

B2mario, I greet you Sir.
Abagworo is missing in action. Lol
Chino the Anambra legend with his multiple monikers but you'll know it's him.

Mma mma nu o!! I greet you all

vengertime:
Why are you encouraging those kids.

0bjpmb:
The problem with ediots like you is that you don’t want to learn your history. You are a cursed ediot from the cursed backward Abia state is here deceiving your.

I will restate this for you ediot to know,

Anambra is a monolithic state.

Anambra has nothing in common with Imo state.

Anambra will not be part of any state creation in igboland.

Anambra has been created to be a monolithic state.

Anambra supports Anioma state creation over any other state creation.

Anambra and Anioma are more related and cousins than any of other Igbo state more especially imo state.

Anambra’s history is clear and everyone knows, even IBB knows it when he carefully created the present Anambra state and Enugu state.

Stop forcing yourselves on us, we are not one people, igbos have their own variations and you must act knowledge that fact.

No single Anambra community is interested in leaving the Anambra union. Being an Anambra indigenes is something you cannot tamper with because the state is monolithic.

You ediots twist history in order to see reason to tamper with the map of Anambra but we shall never allow it to happen. We shall resist you inferior people that always want to feel superior by attaching to Anambra.

You can create the sixth Igbo state out of imo and Abia but we shall never allow you guys touch any part of Anambra.

who are the kids biko? Those I mentioned are not kids. Probably you're the kid since you dunno them.

cadmanspize:
Boy you have cried enough with your trial on making Imo & Anambra unviable. This might just be a time you may just round it up and call it a day boy, cause Anambra people sounds so impertubed & unmoved with this your bittered wailing. Save your time & kids & go engage in more profitable ventures

Amah70:
Imo West senatorial zone is large for a state. That is where a 6th in the SE majorly belongs.
Etiti state proposal is a FRAUD. NEVER GOING TO SEE THE LIGHT OF THE DAY

Zion Ministry singlehandedly transformed its part of Okota in Lagos...from lodges to hotels, bottled water manufacturing to olive oil manufacturing company, Seraphic Foundation, hospital, etc. Many churches are fighting so that Zion Ministry doesn't come down to Imo State because most of their members will start worshipping at Zion. That's the challenge most churches around Ago-Okota (especially Catholic Churches) are facing now. This is one ministry that people (especially Nigerians abroad) fly in from around the world to worship with, so that will definitely boost the air traffic of Imo airport.

Meanwhile, Zion Ministry is already building a psychiatrist and old people's home in Anambra. The project was initially estimated at 250m but, according to Evangelist Ebuka, it will cost over 500 million now because the project design keeps changing to incorporate new ideas. He plans to build one in all the 5 Eastern states, plus Delta, Rivers and Plateau States. He said he doesn't want to see mad people roaming the streets of those states.

I am not excited.
