Anioma state is dead on Arrival since they want it to be part of SE. All the traditional rulers and leaders from the proposed Anioma State has kick against it and SE Leaders has also kick against it because it's a cheating to them.

What is beautiful in Asaba? A town with poor planning and almajiris from the north now more than indigenes.

Ideally this is what supposed to be, but Babangida , because of Maryan, his wife who was from Asaba dubiously created Delta State and put the capital in Asaba a predominantly Igbo speaking State in SS which ordinarily a SE state.
Anioma is not a SE state please ,take back your words.

[quote author=Bendeco02 post=138892143]They don't have option again.

Urhobo people always want Warri to be the state capital. This is the opportunity for them to achieve it.

They will now have third world war in warri between urhobo, ijaw and itsekiri over who controls warri.
Mark my word I'd this happens!!!😏😤😡

You are just making noise in nairaland as if u even have any say to influence anything on ground those that really matter are out there talking of what will happen while you are here just making noise.
Those who have the influence are primarily the local system, of which all our local government chairmen, councillors, and house of assembly, including pa Ned nwoko chairman and councillor don sign against it.president no get power. Governor no get time

Which resources? by the way what exactly did the successive government of Delta State did in Asava as capital?

Go to othe states and see how a capital should be. When we have Anioma State, we will invite you to Asaba after two years to come see real development...

Agugbadin:
This is correct, Anioma people don't want to be associated with SE,River Niger is a natural boundary. If Anioma will be aligned to SE,it is much better to remain in Delta state because that will be like jumping from frying pan into fire.
I don't know who made you guys mouthpieces of Anioma people, but your resentment will not change a thing. Plus it is people that mostly define borders not just natural features.

Igbos don't know what they are enjoying in Nigeria. Anioma does not have the population of Ife Ijesa senatorial district. I doubt if they have Ijesa population but are now going to have three senators, ministers, federal university and etc.

So i will become ANIOMIA MAN. 😂😂😂

Capital my hometown... Asaba


So we dat are bearing delta state as our state of origin, and asaba as our hometown, we will change all our government documents to Anomia state
That's how it is. My original birth certificate says Imo state as my state of origin, but now it's Abia State.

We don't want any new state! Just fix the economy and security.
Finally someone who sees the larger picture. The love for the land will keep people fighting over land. The love for the future will make people hustle for their future. Bros it simply goes to show land is more important than mind among far too many people when they cannot see division makes people weaker.


Nigeria is the size of Texas one state in America.

When last did America create a state ? 1959 when they ADDED states that were not there before in Hawaii and Alaska.

When last did the carve out a state from an old state ? 1863.

Bendeco02:
Once Anioma State is created, Igbanke will join.

Who are you to decide the state Igbanke should join?

Igbanke Monarch/Leaders has showed on many occasions and made it clear that they will Join their brothers in Anioma state.

Which land do you own?

You own land with a different language and culture. Because they were carved in same state with you means you own the land?

Some of you sabi talk careless with pride. Benin problem is pride with no action to show undecided
Oya come and carry them na let's see.
Igbanke is a Benin land.
End of story

Nigeria cannot afford more states,

Even if u create 100 states some people will still clamour for more so they can find means to steal money

More states more senators more houses of reps.

Those ppl get their money on time no delay . The highest paid senators in the world doing nothing.

What's the need creating new states?

These clowns should fix the existing states jor! ........ Nonsense!
Re: Akpabio Backs Creation Of Anioma State, Says Capital Will Be In Asaba by yemre: 12:27pm On Mar 26
Let each region get at least, two extra states. Then, three for South East because they had five before and any region already having more than 6 should have 1 instead to make it uniform.

Why do you think it should be uniform when some states have ten times the population of another state? Some zones have three times the population of another zone. So where is the fairness in the equality you are asking for?

States should be on demand. That was the agreement at independence. A state of twenty million can exist alongside one of 500k. That is how it should be. It totally does not make sense to say 500k people are not enough to be a sovereign nation not to talk of state!

It's not going to be by population because under normal circumstances, the population is supposed to be a plus. You get to generate more IGR as a state and when you add that to the allocation from Abuja, it will be enough to bring about development to your people.

Meanwhile, bringing each region to an equal number of states brings about some regional equity. Remember we're very sentimental in this country. Besides, creation of states brings about thousands of employment opportunities, both direct and indirect, among other things.

So you think a region of 19 million people like the SE should have equality with SW of 55 million and NW of 60 million? That kind of equality, I don't support it

If you toe that path, you would end up having 30 states in SW, 32 in NW and 8 in SE. Do you think that can work?

Any group that wañts a state should be given a state is the right approach while states should not by any means have equal representation at the center. That was what was agreed upon at independence. States should be able to merge up if they want and no ethnic group is too small to have a state.

However what I want is a division of the country
