He is an Anambra man simple.

The news should have being that a man from a minority tribe in Anambra was appointed a commissioner.

While the Governor deserves an applause for this, I am not exactly sure how this qualifies as history.

Hopefully, Edo State can do the same for the Minorities like the Ijaws in Gelegele,and Bayelsa the same for the Urhobo's from Bayelsa State too.

no Edo won't, ijaws are like herdsmen, give them small and they will try to claim everything.

Not fair.

Tell Ahab Elijah is here

True.

Brother, this is a different ball fame entirely. Igalas are not settlers in Anambra state. Theyvhave been marginalised for a long time in Anambra, Delta, Enugu and Edo state. Those states including Anambra state are their ancestral hones. They have there at precolonial period. They were there hundreds of years before Nigeria was birthed. Even the name Anambra was was derived from Igala language called 'Oma Obala' river. Elders in Anambra state know this.

Nairaland is my birthday today, show me some love.

The deputy governor of Kogi state is also from Igbo-speaking part of Igalaland.

Good move

they appointed a minority as commissioner in their region we won't hear word. to think the same people are the one expecting to rule in a non Igbo land do amuse me.



bunch of political hypocrites

True.

I have a very soft spot for the Igala's, as I consider Igala my second tribe because of the kindness shown to me by one Igala family years ago.

I know there are Igala's in all the aforementioned states. But where in Edo do you find them?are the Igarra's the same as Igala?I mean the Somorika, Ikpeshi, Ososo and those Akoko Edo part of Igala?

One must truly commend Obiano for this move because by nature Igbos do not have the culture or record of accommodating other tribes both in their lands, establishments or political appointment, all thing by the igbos are always dominated by them and if they happen to have another tribes in their systems they make sure they frustrate him out with tribal bigotry.

See as this man dey use muscle shake this young boy.

Chino aka LasGidiOwner brother has been made a commissioner.

I hope he will stop disturbing Igbos now

Congrats to him and his brother Chino

IGALA WILL ONE DAY PRODUCE A GOV OF ANAMBRA STATE, WE HAVE A NORTH - SOUTH OFFICE SWING NOW.

IGBO SEES IGALA AS THEIR SIBLING, FROM THE SAME FATHER ERI.

NO BIG DEAL HERE, EVEN THEIR FACES IN THE PICTURE, WILL TELL U THEIR IS MUTUAL LOVE AND AFFECTION.

I hate this nonsense linking of Igbos with Eri. Eri was an Igala migrant that was accommodated by Igbos and allowed to mix up with them as full citizens. It does not warrant rewriting our history because of that kindness.

Still not sure why this is news. The dude is an Anambra man from an Igala speaking community.

I wish I could "like" this comment a million times. You have said the utmost truth.

You know your history

GoroTango:
Nothing special here. The appointment of ethnic minorities to position of influence in a state isn't a new thing. This shouldn't be in the news

It is a new thing IN ANAMBRA STATE.

FisifunKododada:
FACT: Igalas are the aborigines of Anambra - the Igbos are visitors.

Where did you hear that nonsense?

How is this news?
And some buffoons from the east will be salivating here up and down as if this is an achievement.
Is the commissioner not an Anambrarian?
What's the big deal here?

MXrap:
Shut up useless old bastard. He was very correct. Eri/Nri was the origin of Igbos. You better live with it because we shall not stand by and watch you cursed hopeless old man from the worthless Imo state re-write the history.

Do you have a pre-existing beef with this guy?

letusbepieces:


THEY SPEAK IGALA AND UNDERSTAND IGBO. THEY ARE BILINGUAL.

FURTHER, THE RELATIONSHIP IS ONE OF RECOGNITION THAT THIS IS OUR BROTHER CHILDREN CALLED THE IGALA.

U AND YOUR BROTHER ANSWER SEPARATE NAME IS NOT DIVISION, BECOS U ARE UNITED BY BLOOD.

IGBO AND IGALA SHARE A PARENT CALLED ERI.

OBIANO IS FROM UMUERI. AGULERI TO BE PRECISE.

Are you lecturing me about my state ? Omambala nke m kwa

Bayelsa State has been appointing Urhobos of Bayelsa origin into government positions. E.g, [1] Hon. Osusu from Ofoni [Urhobo] was once the Honorable member representing Sagbama Constituency 11 in Bayelsa State House of Assembly and also he [Osusu] was a one time Commissioner for Education during the tenure of Gov. Alamieyesigha. [2] Even the present Commissioner of Works in Bayelsa State "Mr Ewhrujakpo" is a "Bayelsan Urhobo".

There is/was an Urhobo commissioner in Seriake Dickson's Bayelsa state cabinet.

Stupid fools on this thread. Is it not the norm for minorities to be marginalized across board? Are minorities not neglected and unrecognized? Here we have a state government that has continued to cater and recognize it's minorities and some people are saying "nothing special". Most of you should go and take a seat.

see them, always claiming what doesn't belong to them

I am an advocate of Willie Obiano administration, but why should appointing a man from Anambra East become a news?. Is Bonaventure not from Anambra east?, Is Anambra East not part of Anambra State. Why should hypocritic praise singers will be pouring praises to Willie Obiano. Nonsense!

Lagos has not just commissioners but local government chairman from the east ..Igbo precisely

I think it is a worthy response for the old man.
