Who is/are Izu Anioma and who elected him/them to speak for the Anioma people. We are not Igbos. Every state in Nigeria is made of several ethnic groups that speak different languages, the states were not created based on language. The days of Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba are over, it marginalises other prominent ethnicities, hence the identification as geopolitical zones. The Aniomas preference is to form a brotherhood with Itshekiris, Ijaws, Urhobos and the other ethnicities that make Delta a wonderful, important and welcoming state.

All those agitating for Anioma are power hungry and selfish individuals looking to create a puppet state they can control. It will never happen!

Don't worry, Anioma State creation will allow Ika, Ndokwa and Enuani ethnic group fight friendly fights.

Just giving my own perspective to the ongoing discussion. I read some of your responses on the first page and agree with them but to be frank as a brother, I would not clamour for those who choose not to return to the Igbo fold. For those who recognise their ancestry, I welcome them with open arms but if others choose not too, then they are free to tow their own position, no need of us dragging them .( That's what I meant to say In the first post). Enjoy your day my brother

Maximum respect my brother. I understand your point.

Stay blessed my bro.

The most jaw dropping one is changing Okunano to Awkunanaw?

I get goose pimples whenever I read the spelling.

Austria speak German. Kataf, kutebiam, tiv,berom, idoma, ibira,all speak hausa, but are they hausa? Itshekiri,llaje speak Yoruba. Are they Yoruba? Have the Yoruba ever imposed tribal i.d on them. U have 2 understand that Biafra agents desperately want 2 extend ipob b4 the Niger cos of sea access. We know their plan

Thanks you. They wanted to implement their nonsense Ipob sit at home in Asaba but were dealt with heavily by the former Governor who happens to come from Agbor.

your mumu nor tuuu much!

The reason Ika and Ndokwa people have greatly withdrawn from this Anioma nonsense is because of some Aniocha Oshimili people. When Ika wants to release statement or discuss about their identity and politics, they restrict it to Ika, when Ukwani wants to do same, they restrict it to Ndukwa but some overzealous Oshimili people keep trying to impose their identity on everyone trying to createa new ethnic group that has never existed. Anioma has never been an ethnic group but a group of related ethnic groups that are completely independent and autonomous.

Thundafireseun:
Im not Igbo and I will never be Igbo ….

Majority of Anioma people have distanced themselves from Igbo people including me….

I’m proudly Anioma and what I speak is Aniontha

Then the man who led the coup should be distanced as Igbo. Igbos lost a lot because of him. He was from Anioma

You speak English, are you British?

I pity you.

Same ethnic minority people that begged governments for decades pre independence to separate them from the oppressor Igbo people?!

You'll old with your false propaganda.

It no longer sails.

MAYBE WEN NIGERIA IS DIVIDED, U WILL UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE A YORUBA MAN AND WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH YOU OUTSIDE NIGERIA.


WE ARE HEAR DISCUSSING OUR REGION, YET U FEEL THE NEED TO INVOLVE YOURSELF LIKE A URCHIN.


IS IT THAT YORUBA DONT DISVUSS ISSUES CONCERNING THEM AND DO U SEE IGBOS INVOLVED?

That's why I keep telling Ndị Igbo to retaliate against these Ronu Rascals.

One day Ikwerre too will abandon their fake Bini ancestry claim and embrace their true Igbo identity.

One day you will abandon one Nigeria and embrace Biafra.

Ojiofor:
The anti southeast Igbo state creation by the military was meant to landlock and isolate Igbo mainland.

That's what some minority people capitalised on to start annexing Oru-Igbo (Riverine Igbos) to complete the Encircling Political Game.

Can we just forget this tribalistic stories and talk about how Nigeria would benefit the poor?

Never. Igbo will be tribalistic very soon.

If both of us have similarities don't you think you might be me?

For your information I know educated people around you won't tell you this, there is what is called mutual intelligibility of language. It is a phenomenon round the world. It is not only with the Igbos and the ikwerres. Malaysia and Indonesia speak almost the same language but different people. This applies to Spain and Portugal. The same with Sweden and Finland and Norway. It is not only with the Igbos. You people should let the ikwerres be. If Ikwerres have five states like you people would you accept to be ikwerre?
See the way of life of a typical ikwerre man compare it with that of an average Igbo person you won't see any similarities.
Before, during and after the war ikwerre people have always distance themselves from you people.

Even in Nigeria...

There's a tribe in Kogi state that claim claim they are not Yoruba even though they answer Yoruba names and share similar language and culture with the Yorubas. What more, they have Ife origin just has every other Yoruba group. Yet they never for once agreed to be Yoruba. They have chosen their identity and are satisfied with it.

Liar!!!

Another low lifer Anioma midget on the beat.

Dem no wat you you dey force to join dem. Spit!!!

Am proudly Igbo with no apology

I won't embrace Biafra of IPOB that is delusional.

Maybe he is surrounded by chronic Igbo hating Ronu Urchins reason he is masking himself I only hear Ika Igbo I have never hard Ika benin before Igbos and Ika speak and understand each others but Ika and Benin can not speak and understand Each others.

opamoses1:
My friend from Ika here in the USA is not a womanizer. He also hates being called Ibo. He says he is originally from benin.

Agugbadin:
Stop this rubbish,Anioma people are not Igbos and can never be Igbos. River Niger is a natural boundary. Igbos are very violent and troublesome, but anioma people are gentle and easy going.

You're going to die in oblivion.

Creamypie:
Ika is part of Delta north. They and ukwuanis, and ndokwa, making 5 local government of 9 in Delta north, have replied Ned. What Ned wants is to rule as governor . Asaba are from Igala, kogi state.secondly, no deltan wants anioma. It's igbos or easterner that are pushing ned

Chai! You're going to suffer perpetually for these wickedness.

Asaba is from Igala?

Creamypie:
prince onojobo from Igala and diaba from nteje village, a palace worker. Their first child is nnebisi

is Nnebisi an Igala name?

nnebisi father was a kogi man. U should be concerned about east, not south pls

Creamypie:
ukwuanis is where am from. Ika are from benin. If u go to their palace, you will see pics taken in Benin palace far back 1877. The great,great great grand.they migrated from benin

You're a poor little man, Ika-Igbo (Agbor) and Ile Ibinu were slated for war in 1897 when Britain made waste to Ile Ibinu Minorities under 2 days.

Ika-Igbo are not from Ile Ibinu, in fact, they were the raiding and retaliating power that made Ile Ibinu build their walls for protection.

Stop propagating nonsense to brainwashed and nubile folks.

discusant:
The hyper divide and conquer to rule and exploit brainwash done on some Igbos in today's Southsouth zone by those impostors during and after the civil war, is mind-boggling.

It's like brainwashing Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi States to start to deny their Yoruba identity.

You think there will ever be any Yoruba group that ever denied their Yoruba identity. Dey play. Even Yoruba group outside Nigeria and African territory wear their Yoruba heritage with pride. You will never see a Yoruba either from Kwara or Kogi or even Niger state that will tell you they are not Yoruba. What unite Yorubas is deeper than language and culture. Virtually all Yoruba group share common heritage and spirituality. That you are locked in the east, south, north of the world, or that you are a Christian or Muslim is not strong enough to defeat your yoruba identity.

EreluRoz:
I don't think an Ika man will agree to this. If they are from Benin why are they speaking Igbo and not Benin? The Ibanke people in Benin are only migrants from Delta state as I've made to believe from previous responses. Nobody even recognize the Ibanke people in Edo state as a whole so the ikas can't be from Benin

Oramiyan invaded Igodomigodo, and the Iduu people were divided.

No Igbo speaking people are from Ile Ibinu Minorities, Ariri enweghị ike ịmụ Enyi. A centipede can't birth an Elephant 🐘

Do you know that Kogi East is Nsukkaland?
Nsukka people are still in Kogi East till today.

Creamypie:
Ika is a language 80 percent different from Igbo. They bear names like ogbebor, osagie, osunbor, ehi. No easterner bears the above listed

Those where cultural import because of Ile Ibinu expansion during the Portuguese penetrative campaign in 1490s.

@bolded shows how ignorant you are. Place Ikwerre, Ngwa, Owerri, Onitsha, Abiriba, Nsukka and Ezza people side by side then compare each with your perception of average Igbo man. Igbo is the conglomerate of all despite the little differences. Malaysia and Indonesia are like Ngwa and Ikwerre. Now tell me the difference between an average Ngwa man and average Ikwerre man let's start from there.
