south east shouldnt be for only those 'who want to be called igbos'.

There are ijaws in sw too. And many tribes in nw
When someone deny you, dont force yourself on that person, just move on.

Anioma should be the one meeting the SE, not the vice versal as you are doing it.

There are Igala in Anambra and they happy in been in Anambra.

The problem with guys like you is that you take nonentities very serious.

Who is Oliseh to determine for other others if they are Igbos or not.


That is why I like Nnamdi Kanu. He never took fools like Oliseh serious.


Well, there is no need to waste my time arguing with you guys.


We the real liberators know that Aniomas are Igbos.
i tire for odingo1 and some of these new comers to this thread. Anioma has more ppl who say they are igbos than those who deny it.

And that is the reason why joining the south east will be best for all man

You lots want to repeat Ojukwu mistakes.

Ojukwu had loyal friends in Eastern minorities parts, people like Opigo, Akpan, Effiong, Kogbara, etc. He worked with, but he ignored the presence of Igbophobic entities in Minority areas, the likes of Wiwa, Boro and co.
In the end, those were the ones that wrecked Biafra.

It's foolishness to ignore the likes of Oliseh, Esogbue, Onochie, Mgbejume, etc.

In the end, they would wreck you, if you don't acknowledge their existence, the threat they pose, and devise contingency plans to contain them.

During the civil war, they fought on the side of Biafra.

Under Ohaneze, they serve as leaders

They did not wreck Biafra.


What wrecked Biafra was lack of weapons to win the war.


If we had weapons, all the so called betrayal won't be talked about today.

Speaking from both sides of the mouth Now, aren't we?

You were insinuating that Anioma ethnic nationality or affiliation does not matter.

In which case the number of people who identify as Igbo or non Igbo amongst shouldn't matter , which means that Ogoja Igbo or non Igbo people shouldn't matter too.

I noticed you have been talking down on Ebonyi .
I think you are wrong about Ebonyi. Ebonyi is very much viable, and had been outperforming Abia State in recent past, in terms of infrastructural development.
Ebonyi is coming up but will never outperform Abia despite the bad governance in the state. Abia can sustain itself even without handouts from Abuja. Abians are highly industrious and educationally advanced than Ebonyi. Abia is close to the sea and can decide to build a seaport to generate much revenue and lastly the state is endowed with large markets, industries and huge oil and gas deposits that can sustain them for centuries. Ebonyi will surely get there but not at the expense of Abia.

On paper true, but on reality false. Ika-Ukwuani are Igbophobic, only Aniocha-Oshimili are Iphophilic. Now compare the statistics and you will observe it’s 5/10. Meaning half of percentage of totality of Anioma’s are likely Igbophobic. Even amongst the Aniocha/Oshimili you still find people that are easily swayed by numerous sibling factors into denying the Igbo tag.

50% Igbo is more than enough.

If we dont include these folks now...we lose them forever. Wat do u think will happen 100 yrs from now?
I think 2 things can happen.
1. If anioma is in south east..more and more of them will gradually keep accepting their igboness.
2. If anioma is not in south east more and more of them will keep denying their igboness.

Anioma are Edo, they have always been part of Benin Kingdom, even the governor of Edo-state is anioma. You guys should stop ignorantly claiming people's heads.
Re: Anioma State And South East Zone by Nobody: 1:26am On Jul 14, 2018
Anioma is a subset of the Edo nation. Delta state is a subset of Benin Kingdom. Enough said, go and look for some land to grab elsewhere.

The North and SW will not support restructuring, it is dead on arrival.

Adada can be created and they develop at their own pace like Ebonyi. Looking down on a fellow Igbo state is not good, everywhere in SE should not be measured with others with time they will come up.
I’m not looking down on any state, most especially Ebonyi. The state is doing well at it’s own pace and can do better in future. But I’m talking about the south-east submitting a viable proposition for a 6th state that won’t be thrown to the bin at the least excuse. Don’t forget, getting a state under civilian rule is likened to a Carmel passing through the eye of a needle. The south east can succeed in having a 6th state if we play the politics right. Even without restructuring we can do the lobbying and still get it. But we shouldn’t go with a parasitic state in mind that may instill distrust in the mind of our opponents.

The Anioma people are peaceful, hardworking and accommodating. Besides Delta State, Anioma people can also be found in Igbanke, Ogan, Iru, Owa Nikeke, Ekpon and Abudu areas of Edo State, Onitsha, Obosi, Ogidi, Ozubulu and Orifite areas of Anambra State, Oguta area of Imo State and Ndoni area of Rivers State. The Anioma people are educated, industrious, innovative and exposed. The rich diverse and unique cultural heritage of the Anioma people distinguished them from other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.

The second question: Are Anioma people Igbos?
There have been several debates about the true origin of the Anioma people and the language they speak. There is a strong belief that the Anioma people are Igbos and that they speak Igbo language. To keep the record straight, the Anioma people are not Igbos and they do not speak Igbo language. The Anioma people speak, "Enuani, Ika and Ukwuani languages".

We are proud of our identity; our identity is our pride, strength and unifying factor. Our Anioma attire (Akwa Anioma) is recognized anywhere in the world. There may be similarities in some Anioma and Igbo names: such as Chukwuma, Chukwuka, Chukwudi, Ngozi, Udoka, among other names that have the same spellings, pronunciations and meanings like that of the Igbos but, the fact remains that we are not Igbos. We may also have some similarities in language that does not make us Igbo people.
The Aniocha and Oshimili though are closer to the Anambra people cannot be referred to as Igbo people. The same could be said of Owa people in Ika North East Local Government whose ancestral home is believed to be Nri, in Anambra State. The Ndokwa and Ukwuani areas are a mix of different peoples, some with a strong claim to Benin ancestry while others claim to different origin. The Abohs and some clans in the region claimed to have left Benin in the 16th century or earlier in the same wave of migration that established most of the Igbo speaking towns West of the Niger and even Onitcha in the East. Some sections of the Abohs believed that they are direct descendants of people from Benin while others look across the Niger into the Igbo hinterland as their origin, yet some even look far up the Niger, Igala as their ancestral home.
Ogidi has nothing to do with Anioma. It's only yesterday I saw that nonsense here. For your information, I am from Ogidi and can tell you that none of us is aware of this claim which I find disrespectful.
Oraifite has absolutely nothing to do with Anioma, Ozubulu - yes, Oraifite - hell no!
Only a tiny quarter in one clan of Obosi has connection with Anioma, they are even a later arrival that were added to Obosi. Obosi is proudly Idemili.

Seriously, I find this very insulting.
What is wrong with those Igbo deniers? Are they claiming my hometown too? Tifiakwa!

Anioma joining the south-east is beneficial for all parties involved. But we mustn’t be rushed into making hasty concessions. They can’t get a state without us, because their neighbors won’t allow such. For us, we can always get a state without them. We see them as brothers but we won’t allow emotions becloud our judgement. And the truth is that many of the so-called brothers instill certain hate towards us and won’t mind renegading on our support if we help them get a state. So the best bet for all parties is the legal backed agreement, signed and sealed by all stakeholders involved. If they don’t agree to our terms then they remain where they are. We lose nothing and we gain nothing. Igbo identity is not for sale, it’s a thing of pride and honour and should be worn by only those who understands what it takes to be Igbo.

The Ikelike people were absorbed and acculturated into the great Nri culture by AdaIgbo and his Nri people.

Ogwashi ukwu is of Nri today, as can be seen from the language and culture.

Ogwashiukwu = Ogwa + Nshi +Ukwu

Ogwa = Dwelling
Nshi = Nri
Ukwu = Great.

Ogwashiukwu = The dwelling place of the great Nri (AdaIgbo).

The Anioma people are amphoteric with their Igbo identity, therefore we can't deal with them without duely signed land published legal agreement.
We simply can't trust them any longer, they had eroded the trust of kinship we thought we had with them, via their words and actions. It's that bad.
