“All roads lead to the oil-rich Delta State of Nigeria this weekend, where Professors Timothy Nwala, Patrick Utomi, and other renowned gurus would be addressing Igbo-speaking people of Nigeria.

“The event with the theme, “Igbo-Bu-Ofu” holding in Asaba metropolis, on Friday and Saturday, August 29th and 30th, 2025, is being organised by the ‘Igbo Unification Movement’ in collaboration with ‘NdiN’asuBia Socio-Cultural Organization’.


“We are expecting Igbo people from 13 States of Nigeria.The keynote speakers and guest speakers were chosen based on the zeal and patriotism they have displayed in Igbo matters.”

The statement named Professor Nwala, a renowned father of Contemporary African Philosophy and the first Nigerian graduate in philosophy from an indigenous university as the keynote speaker of the conference while Pat Utomi, a Nigerian professor of political economy and management expert and a native of Igbuzo in Oshimili North LGA of Delta State will serve as guest speaker

These peeps just dey try their best to sell and force Igbo identity on Deltans at all cost since Ned mention anioma selfish agenda. Asaba asagba told him in a video that is now viral, that the east has no business with anioma, and anioma, if at all created, is 7th south state. In otherwords, if east needs a 6th state, they should cut from among themselves as be nd el was divided into Edo, delta. As long as I know, the Ika,ndokwa, ukwuani no send anioma shit, just like asaba people, who geographically, are closest to east. When I asked one paid online facilitator for Ned nwoko dream state about ipob/sit at home/gunmen killings if we joined east, named al mi GH Ty, he said I should get lost. I also discovered their online supporters are from east, not South

The Asabga of Asaba said that those in the East have no business with Anioma State if Anioma State is created? Did you hear him say that Asaba or Anioma are not Igbo?

So if the Alafin of Oyo says that people from the North Central have no business with Oyo State, it means that there are no Yorubas in Kwara or Kogi because they are in the North Central?

Your so called South West, South East and South South are not recognised by the constitution of Nigeria, they are mere geographical expressions, so where Anioma State falls into is neither here nor there

This is a meeting of people who speak a common language, have similar culture and traditions, who wish to unite despite being divided across states and so called geographical zones

Why you people who have no stake in the matter are pained needs to be studied in the University of craziness

let me also remind you that asaba has Igala quarters, and its not a family inheritance stool. Even Igala people have one of the 5 quarters of asaba, and equally produce the king if they have qualified sons who want to vie.
