This whole thing has been set up by the likes onochie......efulefu slaves, eager to please their Fulani masters! Anioma isn't Igbo, yet the entire Igbo of the south-east are still suffering for the sins of one of their sons in 1966 in a coup tagged 'Igbo coup'!? Just ignore them! Nobody is being forced to join the Biafra secession bid.....nobody! If anyone says anything to the contrary, they should tell me how IPOB would go about forcing unwilling groups into Biafra! 1 Like |

ogbuefieze: Precisely! You hardly hear any Ika/Kwale proudly proclaim their Igboness! They’re only Igbo when there’s something to gain from saying so! They take a Igbo slot after denying their Igbo kinship, and then when true Igbo blud are not too enthused with said appointment/usurpation, this is when the real Igbo haters (who on a normal day love to hear Igbos in Delta and Rivers deny their Igboness) will come in and start saying stuff like, ‘see how wicked and divisive Igbos are...rejecting one of their own, yet want to force them into Biafra?’ I would expect true Aniomans, who are not beholden to the Fulani caliphate, to come out and distance themselves from this rubbish! That’s if it’s not all concocted by the usual shadowy forces whose aim is to limit Igbo territory and also ensure the continued existence of this shithole killing field called ‘one Nigeria’! 1 Like |

Seeing the name Lauretta Onochie shows where the idea and message originate from. I am sure that history was distorted to paint the wrong image about Biafra. What was the role of the foremost Anioma son Kaduna Nzeogwu in the coup of 1966? On whose side did he fight the civil war and what was his reason? What was the reason for the counter coup of 1966, if not that it was Igbo colored? Kaduna Nzeogwu believed in Biafra and he fought the war for the realization of it. “The Aniomas joined Obafemi Awolowo to the meeting registering their displeasure”, according to the writer. Without doubt it was not only the Aniomas who registered their disagreements, but other Igbos across the Niger. “Anioma is not part of Biafra” and yet IPOB has heavy presence and support in Agbor. “Asaba is the capital of Delta state”, yet the Aniomas are deeply resented by the Urbobos, Itsekiris, Isokos and Ijaws in Delta state. These ethnic groups have always maintained that it is a misnomer to situate the capital of Delta state in Asaba. They have always maintained that the Aniomas are Igbos and should not be part Delta state. I am of the opinion that certain people of the Anioma extraction are confused and suffer identity problems. A Yoruba man, whether in Kogi or Kwara, identify themselves as Yorubas. The Fulanis in Nigeria and all over the West and Central Africa nations identify themselves as Fulanis. Onochie should learn to identify with her people. As a member of the APC she should not allow herself to be confused by her master and his tribesmen who want her to prove her allegiance to them by disowning her tribe. To the Igbos of the SE who only want to identify with the Igbos of the SS when it is time for federal allocation, shame on you all. Vividly I remember that they were all unhappy when Babangida, in spite of the pressure from his late wife, failed to give the Igbos Anioma state as the 7th Igbo state. They all considered it a lost opportunity. Aniomas are Igbos and nothing less. 1 Like |

Look, guys let us leave this discussion about Anioma like this: 1) Anioma are the only people who can determine who they are, it is not the priviledge of the south-east to tell Anioma who they are, Anioma will tell the world who they are. 2)It is my view as an Anioma that the Anioma are an ethnic group and a sub-group of the Edo people 3)It is the view of all Anioma Obis that the Anioma are an ethnic group and a sub-group of the Edo people 4)Stop redusing the Anioma to a piece of land, we are a people, we have rights ! We are not a belonging ! 5)Just leave the issue, it is none of your business, Anioma monarchs will talk for Anioma. 6) Even I, an Anioma, am not entitled to speak on behalf of the Anioma, talkless of you guys in the south-east who have taken upon yourselves the right to speak on behalf of the Anioma. 7)Only Anioma monarchs can speak on behalf of the Anioma. Now that all this is settled, perharps we can fight the fulani herdsmen now instead of planning how to attack each other ? What do you think ? |

Cantonese: Figment of your imagination my friend, also notice that not everybody equates biafra with igbo, some people actually think or thougth you guys were fighting for a multiethnic country, not for an igbo-only country. Even ojukwu's biafra was multi-ethnic. Even the middle beltans who thought biafra was supposed to be a multi-ethnic country (which would grant justice and equality to all) once voiced the willingness to join, untill they realized that you guys wanted to create your own version of nigeria in which igbo would take the place of the fulani and marginalise everybody else. So can we focus on the terrorist herdsmen now ? |

pazienza: I am an Anioma from the Obaseki family, my great-grand father was chief Agho Obaseki. My great-great-great grand father was the Obi of Nsukka, he sent my great-grand father to serve the Oba of Benin in the imperial palace, that is why my grand father chief Agho Obaseki grew up in the imperial palace alongside the future Emperor Ovonramwen. Chief Agho Obaseki and Oba Ovonramwen were childhood friends. And you are right, I am Edo, indeed all Anioma are Edo. But Edo doesn't mean "from Edo-state". Edo means citizen of Benin empire. Edo-state was created in the 1990's out of Bendel-state and the name Edo comes from the Edo people (Benin empire people). I wouldn't expect a guy from the south-east to have a clue of what i am talking about. You guys just think that your "majority" status grants you the magical powers to know us better than we know ourselves. |
Re: We Are Not Igbos And Not Part Of Biafra- Anioma Ethnic Nationality by pazienza(m): 10:43pm On Feb 15, 2021 |
Bkayy. Anioma issue is not same as Ikwerre, so you don't need to use same hostility we use on Ikwerre on them. Anioma is a tricky issue. The Enuani are on the whole proudly Igbo except the Issele uku and environment. The Ika areas like Abavo, Igbodo Ekwuoma who are close to Enuani are proudly Igbos while the likes of Umunnede, Agbor , Owa (though Owa Monarchy acknowledged its NRI ancestry) are largely Igbo phobic. Ukwuani is the worst of the Igbo phobic lots. Ndokwa is Igbophilic or atleast neutral. Problem is that we can't just take the Igbophillic parts from Anioma because the Igbophilic ones still consider the Igbo phobic ones brothers and hence wouldn't want to leave them behind. Its akin to how Yorubas in SW doesn't want Nigeria to disintegrate because it would mean them saying Good-bye to Kwara and Kogi forever as Arewa are not eager to release those ones to them. We (Ndiigbo) have an Anioma problem, and it's a really tricky one. Its a pity our father's didn't solve this problem and now we are the ones who have to solve it. But I would advise next time you try and observe silence in Anioma issues and not come down hard on them, for the sake of those proud Igbo communities in Enuani. You must also note that unlike Ikwerre, Anioma is not an ethnic group, but rather a political association, even though the likes of Emeka Esogbue and Omu Anioma have been working fruitlessly to make it an ethnic group, the clannish nature of independent clans there will not allow for that. So when dealing with Anioma issue, deal with it as an association made up members with varying alliances and not like an ethnic group. For example, the Ukwuani/Ndokwa people on the majority don't subscribe to the Anioma association, they see it as plan by the Enuani and Ika to lord over them. Many of them are even opposing Anioma state creation. 3 Likes |

pazienza:So you are admitting that you south-easterners are trolling, abusing and insulting other ethnic groups in order to force them to claim igbo-identity ? Why ? What is wrong with you guys ? You claim to fight for your right to self determination while in reality you want self determination and also you want to take away other peoples right to self determination. This is the main reason biafra will never be ! Your fight is a contradiction in itself. |

pazienza:Even in the folklore of Onitcha, the Onitcha people claim very clearly to have migrated from Benin. Apart from that the picture below of the Obi of Onitcha shows Onitcha's links to Benin. We've already had this discussion, you know all this but you pretend to be dumb and blind.
