Bendeco02:
And So

How does that relate to the topic?

Did you say relate? So what are we taking about here b4

First time I will be agreeing with this man the south east is just too small compared to other regions for creation of another state. Those proposing for etiti, adada and aba states where will they get the resources to run those states compared to anioma state that's already rich with huge oil and gas resources?

Felimax:
We know we are not Igbos! It's derogatory to refer to an Ukwani man as Igbos. Is just like referring to the Urhobos as Sobos. There is no way Anioma can be part of Southeast. I don't like the Igbos to that extent.

You and who knows you're not Igbo?

You can only speak for yourself

I even doubt you're Anioma person

Who are the Igbo of today? You think we don't have sub tribes in East?

Am from Onitsha, Anambra state. We have more things in common with Anioma than our neighbors. Our name and culture are closer to Delta Igbo than our neighbors

Some part of Imo and Abia people have more things in common with Rivers Igbos, including dialect.

Ukwuani is not a tribe.

Even the word Ukwuani is Igbo word

Godjone:
Is this man normal at all? Is Delta State South East or South South ?

Urhrobo people are already agitating for their own Urhrobo state with headquarters at ughelli so where will the anioma people find themselves?

anioma no go work Oga. State creation has Never been done by civilian government, this issue is creating state from one region and adding to another region across river. Every body must agree,including all reps, senators, governor. Kings, none of them want it divided.Ned is on his own. and it will end in votes of the people of which 2/3 votes make it reality. So forget

Lanre1st:
Why will a state be created in SE? Land mass they no get, population is not there.

The whole SE is not up to Niger state. Moreover, majority of Igbo are not reside in SE

Is SW up to Niger state?

This has been my position though I am from Adada, part of Enugu state thet is seeking for state creation as well.

MXrep:
Is SW up to Niger state?

Yes more than Nigeria state

popp:
If a State is to be created in the Southeast, it should be Adada State.

The five to six Local government in Enugu north senatorial zone, in addition with the few that will be caved from Benue, Kogi, Anambra will make this State to be vibrant and up and doing.

Traveling from Enugu to Nsukka actually seems as if you're traveling to another State.

Adada has the population, the social economic activities are off the chain.

Agriculture is the hub in this location. If Adada State is created , the State can feed the entire South east and not just that but also Nigeria at large because of the rich agricultural activities in this zone. We have Adada rice, yam tomatoes and lots more, livestocks in Kogi part of it, the Benue part can't be left without mention.The oil in Uzo-Uwani and Oyi will boost the zone in oil and gas and as well position the nation to emancipate in that sector via her contribution to the centre.

Let's balance the State creation in Nigeria by creating Adada State.

Thank you.

What's the distance from enugu to nsukka? If you had said the distance from uzo-uwani to Eha-amufu in isi-uzo that would have been better. And mind you, there are not major deposit of oil in uzo uwani. It primarily found in kogi/anambra axis on a minor scale.
If you had traveled from ibadan to iganna within Ọ̀yọ́ state then you would know that from nsukka to umuahia is small. And ibadan has 11 densely populated local government

helinues:
All of them are wasting their time.

The current 36 states, how much progress have they made?

What is the relationship between state progress and one region deserving another state?

You have never spoken like an adult without brain mutation

NAIRALAND SLOWLY LOSING RELEVANCE.

sylve11:
Then Lagos would have 5 states.

Of course, Lagos is the most populated state and should have had multiple states, if not LGA's

Anioma is that sixth state that the South East needs and the reasons are very clear.

Ned Nwoko once said that “you cannot cut one finger into two because you want to have six fingers”. At the other end of the River Niger, there are five states, all Igbo speaking. It is foolish to try to make a state out of existing states where the people speak the same language. Common sense dictates that you should bring the people of the same language, who are scattered in other states, not speaking the same language.

Now there’s a clamour to bring over the Igbo speaking peoples in Benue, Kogi and Rivers states. It is agreed absolutely. But Anioma must be a priority. Anioma comes along with nine local government attached with plenty of land and water borne natural resources. There will be no use cutting up Imo and Abia states to make up one state, when Anioma is already a state of its own. Anioma is of more use.

Again, with the issue of capital flight from the other end of the River, more Igbo speaking people now reside in all the nine local government areas of Anioma, contributing their quota to have their areas developed. They find themselves more at peace and closer to their villages, if there is any need at all to visit their villages. Anioma was also intended to include Onitsha and Ogbaru and Idemmili. When added, there should be approximately 12 states, with the capital at either Asaba or Onitsha. Those two cities more than qualify to be state capitals.

Orji Uzor Kalu, out of experience made the right request and without delay, it has to pass through the National Assembly.

God forbid. Na by force to be igbo state??

Shinjawestern:
Rubbish...

What's the need for another state when their population is not much

Anyway God bless the good people of Southsouth and southwest

All these Yoruba boys doing attachment with SS . You probably haven't left your home town in Osun state, I remember how you people were cheering for the military when they sacked a community in SS last year, two faced people. Now you are doing attachment by force and putting mouth on things that doesn't concern you or impact you in anyway.

The creation of a sixth State in the SE doesn't have any negative or positive effect on the Yoruba so why are you people so antagonistic about it? How Deep are your hatred and bigotry against the SE?

The sixth state must be created for the south east, and it must be the Anioma state.

temitope27:
what about the region that has 7

Let us have six states first like many other regions.

temitope27:
your region has 5 because it's the smallest

The creation of a Anioma will expand it, no worry yourself.

temitope27:
your region has 5 because it's the smallest

Lagos State is the smallest state but it is the richest. So it is not by land mass.

Saga16:
The east has no population.

Says by an ignorant.

erad:
My question is how do you carve out a region from a geopolitical zone to be a part of another geopolitical zone without causing problems?

When the indigenous population of the carved out area wants to join their brothers in the other geo political zone it will not be too problematic.

Why do people not understand the meaning of "Geo political zone*

helinues:
A senior senator shouldn't be talking like a kindergarten..

All those new proposed states are just palm tapper's wildest dreams

Ndi yoruba.....ndi iyoro......ndi agbado...... you will never see dem in support of anything positive for ndigbo!

Saga16:
The east has no population.

said by an osogbo man who has never in his life left Yoruba land let alone see the 1st Niger bridge.

Saga16:
What resources in the East?


These people.

the East has Oil and the biggest gas deposit in Nigeria Plus Coal.

But I guess you failed social studies in school.

Chucks13:
But Anioma is already in Delta state. And they are fine where they are if I'm not mistaken because core igbo never accepted them as igbo they only accept them when igbo need needs them for something apart from that they are always rejected so its better they remain where they are in peace than joining those fascist from my region.

If I lie tell any Anioma man to go an marry or even propose to any core igbo lady then you will be shock of what you wll see and hear.

You no just get even small sense na Igbo go accept them as Igbo be for them go know say there tribe na Igbo ?
With your type Nigeria is just waisting time as a country

The problem with you people is that you come on social media and start talking complete rubbish in a topic you have absolutely no idea about and do this with boldness.

Core Igbos have never rejected Anioma people ever, have you ever been to onicha or Asaba before? I guess you haven't.
If they're rejected then why are they clamouring to be part of the South East Geo political zone? You see that your lies are not making sense with the reality on ground.
An Anioma mam has been the leader of ohaneze. My former boss is from Anioma who's married to a woman from Nteje, whenever we have a one on one talk he always tells me "you and I are brothers so let's communicate in igbo" . In fact I have never met an Anioma fellow who doesn't see themselves as Igbo.

So you're a lier

Ukwuani is not a tribe.

Even the word Ukwuani is Igbo word

Ask him to translate Ukwuani to English first.

trendingnigeria:
Hmm. True though

There's no truth in that assertion. Ebonyi state for instance is a typical example. Imagine if Ebonyi state was not created, the rapid human capital and infrastrural developments witnessed in that state in the past 16 years wouldn't have happened.

helinues:

True. Then, let's cancel your state to save money. Deal?.

Then give Igbo two more state and Yoruba one more state, case close and every smile back home
