Igbo bu ofu. Nice of him.

Yujin:
Sarcasm at its finest.
You won't see Igbo haters on this thread. The haters will still continue to say only the 5 SE states has indigenous Igbos. This tells you they're following an agenda while denying the obvious.

Ned Nwoko is attachee to by force


Urchinngs :2025

Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has called on Igbos in the Southeast to embrace their kinsmen residing in other parts of the country, as part of efforts to strengthen the unity of Ndigbo.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja, Nwoko noted that many Igbos in the South-South, Kogi, and Benue still struggle with issues of identity, which he traced to the legacies of the Nigerian Civil War.

He recalled the 1966 Asaba massacre, describing it as a tragic turning point when Anioma people and other Igbos outside the Southeast were forced to conceal or renounce their identity to survive.

“Frightened by the rampaging soldiers, many of our people had to deny their Igbo heritage just to escape death. Some even adopted Benin names because troops were combing villages in search of Igbos,” Nwoko said.

According to him, this painful history explains why some Igbo groups outside the Southeast remain hesitant to openly identify as Igbo. However, he stressed that the renewed push for identity restoration aligns with the vision of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio-cultural body of the Igbos.

“The larger Igbo society should embrace its kith and kin scattered across Nigeria. Restoring our shared identity is a vital step towards true unification,” he added.

On the Anioma question, the senator wondered why some people in Delta State still deny their Igbo roots despite overwhelming cultural evidence.

“Names, traditions, cuisine, attire, market days, and ancestral practices of Anioma people remain identical to those of the wider Igbo community. As far as I know, there has never been a time when Igbos from across the Niger waged any expansionist war to force Anioma people to become Igbo. So why the fear?” he asked.

While acknowledging that individuals are free to identify differently, he insisted that the overwhelming majority of Anioma people are Igbo.Those who prefer to claim Benin should go ahead, but 99.9 percent of Anioma people are Igbo,” he maintained.

Nwoko, who has consistently championed the creation of Anioma State, reiterated his call for it to be carved out as the sixth state of the Southeast geopolitical zone.

Godfullsam:
If you don't see anything wrong here, it means everything is wrong with you and the way you think.

Some group of clowns built a so called palace worth 1.5 billion naira ready for coronation and you call it nick name?

Something is seriously wrong with you!

WesleyPepper:
This is not true
PAYE is remitted to the state where the employee works not necessarily where the headquarters is located.
Are you saying all the workers in Access bank for example remit their PAYE to Lagos because the HQ is in Lagos .
Nothing can be further than the truth ! You don’t have to lie to drive home your points

sreamsense:
So, which of them is imo entitled to for a companies operating with no single building and address as he said. Ipob/ESN can't allow them to have office in Imo, try to improve security first and lure them with good bargain and incentives to have structure there and not by threatening them

You are not educating me
You are indulging yourself
I already said this here on this thread Yes or No
Please don't bother responding if you won't be honest about that

and


I invited people to check in. ChatGpt
So stop try to act like you are educating anyone but yourself

Does Imo state or Lagos state receive PAYE for workers living in Imo
What proportion of the staff of an oil company work at the headquarters as opposed to those doing work on oil installations

You mention advertising and signage? Funny very funny . If indeed they are advertising inLago what is it that they advertise in Lagos that they don't advertise in all the 36 states . Think before talking.
What is it that an oil company advertises that must only be advertised in Lagos at any rate you advertise to customers so they must have customers in Lagos
Are there none of their customers in the remaining states

Everything you have listed is not up to one percent of the tax on the operating profits which goes to the Federal government

I cannot fathom how an oil company with engineers and technicians in Imo Port Harcourt etc will pay more PAYE for staff in the headquarters

How many staff are there compared to the Niger Delta?

aribisala0:
Oil companies pay tax to the Federal government not states

Don't take my word for it research and learn

MyExpression:
What is their scale of their operation in Imo State?

That's a fair way to make taxation demand.


You can't force them to hq in Imo as far as Nigeria is concerned.
You have free trade zone around Airport road...Owerri-Aba.
Use it.
Attract your own industries to Imo State.

The funny thing is that Lagos state is the smallest state in the country and they want to chock it with so much money.

Ttalk:
Which type of tax are you talking about, since you know the Obidients don't know anything you want to give them something they will chew for the next 3 days.

What type of tax goes to Lagos state government from Imo?
