Absolutely no justification for the creation of a new state in Nigeria, especially in that region. Let us instead consider ways to merge existing states. We cannot afford to take care of another State governor, vice and 20+ HOA members.

Lovit:
I mentioned it here on NL that there are more Ibos residing in Lagos than those of Yoruba origin and someone insulted me

There is no street in Lagos that you won't find Ibos and they appear more in number

ChristineC:
I understand Ned is at the forefront of the Anioma thing but why is every news painting this like it will be Ned's personal estate??

Ezeama400:
We have passed this level..

You don’t compare Anioma with Ogoja..

The point is not just about Anioma, the main focus is balancing the SE which is inevitable..
Ogoja didn’t get the level Anioma is right now now..

Osanoghodua1:
I welcome this development, they should be relocated to Delta State or Anambra state because no part of Edo South will be cut to join any new state.

WhizdomXX:
Name the Igbo clans in Bayelsa, Kogi, Benue, Akwa ibom and Cross rivers.

Ezeama400:
You know the places Igbos are located in those states..

You just wanna to be mischievous..

You can’t be asking such silly questions In this digital era where one can easily find his answers all over the media.. If you can’t find the answers, then you need to go back to stone ages where you belong.

WhizdomXX:
I know now. I used Google, was not aware of those states tho. Thank you for the insults.


Your fellow Igbo from Anioma land, Delta State.

There is nothing in South east that requires balance. You can't make full plot out of half plot. Anioma still remain an illusionary illusion. One region that is not even as big as Niger state wants a state. Where is logic in all of this?

Ezeama400:
My bad !

I thought you were someone else trying to dismiss presence of Igbos in those areas..

I apologise!

YourKarma:
You people's pepper-body is of epic proportions. Why are you triggered? Wetin concern you?

Tueeh!

I second am. Region wey no even big like some states in the North.

WhizdomXX:
Yoruba fulani alliance after independence ke?
My dear, it was our patron, AZIKIWE that allied with the North, so more like an FULANI- IGBO alliance.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Can’t argue with your assertion that there was a ‘Fulani-Igbo alliance’ after ‘independence’ that birthed the Balewa gov’t. Bear in mind the gov’t was controlled by the Fulani arm (executive) while the Igbo arm was the junior partner (ceremonial), and its leader, Azikiwe, only had ceremonial powers no different to what Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II had in Nigeria after ‘independence’ and before Nigeria became a Republic in 1963!

We can see how since 1966 to date, the Yoruba/Fulani alliance has engineered the sabotage of Igbo economic, political and territorial interests, as well as seen to the loss of millions of Igbo lives….actions which can DIRECTLY be linked to specific Yoruba or Fulani individuals or linked to a group! Now can you point to similar instances in which the Igbo, whether as a group or a individual, did same to Yoruba economic, political or territorial interests and also caused the death of millions of Yoruba using their alliance with the Fulani of which you refer?….An alliance in which they were the junior partner!

We’re not just quoting past events for the sake of just quoting, but we’re going further to examine the effects or consequences of said events (or in this case, alliances) on individuals or groups.

Nobody is saying individuals or groups shouldn’t ally with others for the sake of politics. That’s what politics is all about after all…building alliances and cooperations with a view to winning elections! But it goes beyond the pale when such alliances are forged for intentionally sustained hegemonic control of the political-economy of a country, and to cheat, marginalise and subjugate a targeted ethnic group that’s seen as the enemy competition that must be suppressed and subdued! This is the koko of the matter!

Ezeama400:
Igbanke people are Igbos, stop this political nonsense !

Ezeama400:
On the 1st of February 2026, Igbanke kings and their people, Ndi Na Asu Bia Socio Cultural Organization, the Igbo unification movement and other indigenous Igbo communities in edo state, paid Senator Ned Nwoko a visit in his house at Idumuje Ugboko community concerning Anioma state creation and boundary adjustment.

Anioma state is coming and every Igbo community in edo state shall be part of Anioma state through boundary adjustment.
It’s a done deal because everything is going as planned ✅

Congratulations to Anioma people.
Congratulations to Igbanke and other Igbos in edo state.
Congratulations to Igbo nation.

We must continue.

Which one una con don full Benin Attire na 😁.
Benin Culture too beautiful.
Oba gha to kpere! Iseeee!

Orlandoo:
I'm not even talking about Igbos that left the south east to reside in other states, I'm talking about indigenous Igbo people that are from Edo, Rivers, Benue, Kogi and others. Remember Mercy Johnson if from Kogi state but she is Igbo. Her middle name is Ozioma. There are many others too.

GeneralOuki:
No wonder she was very fluent in ìgbo in one movie I saw her in, I thought it was because she had lived in ìgbo land or close to it for a long time just like Ini Edo was lived in Aba ( if I remember correctly) for a long time and was very fluent in Central igbo despite being from Akwa ibom.

Orlandoo:
And it took you years to respond!

You know ball!

Go to Oligie, Ịgbanke or even Ekpon and hear tales of the marginalisation they go through as a minority in Edo State.

I randomly heard that Abudu have not had light in over ten years and I seriously wondered if it's state policy or the usual incompetence.

ogaemma:
Controlled by poverty.
Anywhere belle face ball face.
Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa and Former Governor of the Mid west Region Brigadier General Samuel Ogbemudia both of blessed memory are from Igbanke.
So what concerns Igbanke with the Anioma people.
By geography Igbanke is in Edo State.
Politicians using poverty as a weapon to control Kings.

aswani:
Talking about the great Ogbemudia, he will turn in his grave if Igbanke suddenly became part of Anioma state.

This is considering the major issues he had with soldiers from that proposed part of Delta state just before the civil war. They identified as Biafrans and E Pá Ogbemudia didn't with serious consequences including attempts on his life.

Life has to go on sha.
