Who is “we” your tribe no get name? You went to turn igbos in Anioma to minority,it won’t work,answer your father’s name period!

Odingo1:
Igbos Ekiti are in Ekiti so you know, Yoruba don’t leave SW and start to appear in Delta Igbo, olukimis are tiny migrants labourers from Owo in Ondo state, they have been Igbonized in Anioma for centuries.

oyichi:
When we told them that Ned is wasting their time, they refusd to listen, they were blinded by land grabbing, majority of delta north doesn't subscribe to the idea of lomping them to the south east, these people have history, that they speak languages that have some semblance with igbo does not make them igbos, even in ukwuani, it is a sacrilege to call someone igbo, it is an abomination because it means slave, the south east should create a state from the existing five states they have, stop dragging people that has no root with you, learn from the yorubas, they are not dragging the itshekiris

AsomughaChuks02:
Okowa is the jagaban of Delta state politics you say but in 2023, he couldn't deliver his state to Atiku even as a sitting governor. Even after borrowing billions to fund the presidential run

oyichi:
The funniest thing is that the majority of the people backing Ned are igbos, the south east people who have no confidence on who they are

otipoju:
Okay. Thank you. So this new Anioma state, will consist of the Igbo indigenous land while Uhrobo and Isoko will be remain the Delta indigenous parts.

Although the Beni, Itshekiri,Yoruba will still be found all over Delta or they still have their own enclaves that will be in the new Anioma state if the partition is done.

Chucks13:
Why won't he be right when tribalism is your food and livelihood.

Don't let me insult you in igbo dialect so pls face you front ok.

Ezeama400:
Very mischievous human being called Okowa..

Like I have said before..


The useless empty headed Okowa is playing with our intelligence.. The man is totally against state creation, but he doesn’t want to say it with his full chest, hence his latest geo political zone sound he’s singing.. Unfortunately the ship has left him long time ago, including his gullible followers/supporters..

He knows that it’s impossible for Anioma to be created and remain in SS.. The options on the table are , Anioma state created and ceded to south East, or it will never be created ever again..
The state creation slot belongs to South East, not South south region. Currently the South East has the yam and the knife as it stands..

South south doesn’t have a slot at all.. If another slot comes to South South in the future. ,Ijaws, Eket and other ethnic groups agitating for state creation in South South will never ever give it to Anioma because they would remind us that our time is gone..


Before people jump into this issue, understand the politics going on in South South region..

Okowa knows he would be reduced to political nothingness when Anioma emerges that’s why he’s running halter skelter

Arkmanbuddy:
This Anioma fight for statehood isn't going to be easy as there are many people who're against it. The plan to make it an Igbo thing will be strongly resisted.

Ezeama400:
If Anioma is not an Igbo thing what is it ?

Those against it are in minority, know this and know peace..

Start from the numbers of traditional rulers in favour or against it and do the comparison yourself

Skullminers1:
Yoruba man what is your business in Igbo matter...

43Ronin:
Yes you are right. only anioma will form the new SE state,that's the areas known as Delta-igbo ( the 9 Lganof delta north, the remaining would still be called delta state)

Parachoko:
the joke is on you 🤡

Chucks13:
E pain am. Drop tribalism e nor dey help.

SmartPolician:
South East doesn't need further division - the region is already tiny!

kcute:
But you want to divide another region, how wise of you

oyichi:
then learn from the yorubas and stop the fruitless exercises

oyichi:
The funniest thing is that the majority of the people backing Ned are igbos, the south east people who have no confidence on who they are

PDPdestroyer:
Is there any ethnic group called North-Central?

amaridigital:
This is one of the hardest part people who always thinks breaking up Nigeria will be easy fail to recognize. The other time I saw the first lady speaking Itsekiri language and I could hear everything she was saying because her language was almost 90% similar to most Ondo State language. Does that mean Ondo people will wake up tomorrow and start to claim Itsekiri never but if the igbo try any nonsense to oppress the Itsekiri then I can tell you for free that the Yorubas will rise up against them. They are free to do whatever with the Edos but not with the Itsekiris.

Former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has weighed in on the renewed push for the creation of Anioma State. He spoke on Wednesday during a consultation meeting with party stakeholders in Oshimili South Local Government Area, an engagement that also forms part of his political outreach ahead of a possible Senate bid.

At the meeting, Okowa reaffirmed his support for the creation of Anioma State but stressed that the process must reflect the collective will of the people across the nine local government areas of Delta North. While aligning with the broader aspiration, he subtly questioned the approach and motives of Ned Nwoko, who has recently taken a leading role in championing the proposal.

Okowa warned against turning the issue into a political tool, emphasizing that the legitimacy of the demand should come from genuine grassroots consensus rather than individual ambition.

The agitation for Anioma State—strongly backed by Nwoko—stems from longstanding demands by people of Delta North seeking greater administrative autonomy and fairer representation within Nigeria’s federal structure. Supporters argue that a new state would address perceived marginalization, enhance governance, and drive development in the region.

WhizdomXX:
We in Asaba, our mother is Igbo and our father is igala, but we consider ourselves Igbo and hear our brothers across the Niger in Anambra.

Ndokwa and imo/rivers people hear themselves too. Ika also an Igbo variation is mutually understandable between ourselves and the average Igbo man but their king as well as many other kings in the area where under the overlordship of Benin by conquest. Sometimes even imposed, like Aboh despite being just a river seperated from ndoni/ohaji/egbema. The ukwuani are very close to the central urhobos as well as their ndokwa brethren and for such a reason are most resistant to the idea of Anioma state, talk less of joining the south east.
