Nothing like orlu vs owerri. I don’t dwell on political rumors…lol
This thread is dedicated solely to Imo development.

IMO state is the second most built up state in Nigeria; it is a fact and not a rumor

No town in imo has upto 5 banks in exemption of Owerri, Orlu & Okigwe, and that same state you're comparing to Anambra that has 4 extra towns with upto 5 banks each in exemption of Onitsha, Awka & Nnewi. Seriously, i don't know why so much impetus torwad pushing that propaganda.

0bjpmb:
I am not even interested in imo state because it is a backward state. I am interested in responding to tantrums here spewing nonsense. Showcase whatever you want to showcase. You never responded to the ediot that posted nonsense about Anambra but you are quick to respond to me because i replied him accordingly

Wao! Broveens is really back… lol
I responded to what you highlighted about imo vs anambra and I’m saying, it’s not gonna be based on rumors again…. Let me give you a tip of the iceberg….. It’s gonna be fact for fact , LGA by LGA, Border by border, street roads by street roads, structural quality by structural quality, interior villages by interior villages …

Lol when you say bank, what do you mean? So you think developed countries count structural bank buildings in villages as gains rather than cashless? Hahahaha… this is a proof that imo is the second most built up state in Nigeria

Whether Orlu have kinship with Anambra groups is a different matter, but any Igbo history that invokes the embarrassing Jewish/Hebrew origin myth is an embarrassing joke that should be disposed in the garbage can.

There's nothing called Anambra groups in Igbo. ANAMBRA is an hausa word for Omangbala

Anambra is an anglicized version of Omambala. While imo is an ibibio name for akwunakwuna(ashawo) and Owerri is Owerre(backyard) . Get educated

Show me the englishman that was incharge when when Anambra state was made.
Ask an englishman to say Anambra. He will say Anombrah. English speaks don't repeat sharp vowel sounds. Their tongue will make the last 2 As a different sounds that's why Owerre to them becomes Owerri.
ANAMBRA is pure Hausa translation
created in an hausa regime
by hausa speaking generals

Ikengawo everyone knows that IMO is an ibibio name that means ASHAWO. OWERRE on the other hand means backyard or backward.

Anambra(Onambala) is truly a pure Igbo name which even the white man first recognized when then crossed river Niger into Onitsha. That’s why the first bible, religious books and literature translation was written in Anambra dialect , go and read your history. That’s why Anambra people were the first igbos to enrol in western education and the resultant effect is what we see in Omambala people and that’s why Anambra is the leader of Igbo race.

There is no Hausa word like "Anambra" and there is no phonological interference in Hausa language that requires some conversion from "Omambala" to "Anambra" ("Bala" is even a word in Hausa). You're free to present your evidence of Anambra being an Hausa word for Omangbala or whatever, but don't waste my time with beer parlour fabrications. And where the word "Anambra" comes from is completely irrelevant to the fact that we all know our state as Anambra - so I don't know what you mean by "nothing called Anambra groups". It's as silly as saying there is nothing called ""Nigeria" because the name has foreign roots even though that is what everyone calls our country.

Also, while clans in Anambra obviously have different historical, geographical and ethno-linguistic roots, you Orlu propagandists here have to deal with the reality that being an Anambrarian has become an identity in itself. This is why every single Anambra community you have tried to link to your Orlu statehood have rejected the association. There isn't much appetite for a schism of Anambra like you have in Imo (which has reached toxic levels among you Orlu agitators).

I ordinarily don't intend to get involved in juvenile Imo vs Anambra arguments, but the emboldened is reetarded stuff. So Lagos which has 30% of Nigeria's banks is somehow backward because of the number of banks it has? And Abuja and Rivers which predictably have the 2nd and 3rd highest number of banks are also backward. And the NW and NE which have very low banking penetration are actually Nigeria's most advanced zones where everybody is dealing cashless. Sounds like you're just consoling yourself with fictions - fiction in this case being that Imo, which has about 40% of the bank branches that Anambra has, actually doesn't have many banks because everyone is dealing cashless. Free clue - even my local aboki suya seller who can barely speak English and probably didn't finish primary school makes daily cashless transactions. The implication that Imo doesn't have many banks because of its digital advancement is utter drivel. Infinitely more likely is that bank branches correlates strongly with the volume of commercial activity.

I've also seen a couple of you peddling the "built-up" thing. It's plausible that Imo has sliiiiightly more built-up areas than Anambra. This would be because its population is more evenly distributed, while Anambra has much denser settlements concentrated in smaller areas - especially around the Onitsha metro area extending into Ogbaru and Idemili North, and urban areas like Awka, Nnewi and Ekwulobia, with much of the interior being sparsely populated agrarian communities. This has nothing to do with which state is more "developed" and is just a rubbish statistic.

You're talking about words and talking about pronouncation. Are you implying there's an english word called Anambra. Anambra is hausa pronouncation of Omagbala. English pronouncation of the same word is Amonbrah, Hausa Anambra. All there languages have no word called Anambra, but Igbos do not say Omagbala as Anambra, and English people do not either.


Furthermore, the name comes from the Hausa regime and is not colonial, so who was around to 'anglsize' the word?

Notable indegenes of Onicha Ado, Ogidi, Idemili, Obosi, Nkwelle, Nnewi North, and other communities closest to the Omambala River, have traditionally demonstrated intellectual prowess; they do not engage in this false portrayal of Anambra state as one monolithic paradise of people of superior intellect.
Rather, many of you that are not associated to Omambala River but found yourselves from Anambra State, make all the noise. Many of you showcase your inferiority complex as you write.

The difference between Imo and Anambra States is in the eyes of Muritalla Mohammed who created the two states and derived the name for one from Imo River, derived the name for the other from Omambala River often corrupted to Anambra River.
Many of the communities joined by Muritalla to Anambra State belonged to old Orlu division.

I'm not sure what the emboldened ramblings have to do with anything I said. In case you can't read, I clearly said "clans in Anambra obviously have different historical, geographical and ethno-linguistic roots" and you're pretending I said we're "one monolithic paradise". I'm from Idemili and I have never claimed we're the same as Ihiala people for example. I said that despite our different roots, the Anambra identity has become a strong one (just like Igbo identity as a whole is a colonial era phenomenon) and we don't have any group in Anambra positing their separation from others as Orlu people have taken to toxic levels in their quest for statehood despite their total dominance of Imo politics since 1999. Your entire appeal to groups in Anambra to join your cause is trying to claim they're your clan kinsmen (which is even false - all these Northern Imo and Southern Anambra groups don't have the same sense of monolithic kinship as say Ngwa people in Abia, or Ikwerre people ,and you Orlu agitators overreach in your claiming of everybody as far as Ozubulu and Nnewi and Orumba), but I can assure you most of these people are perfectly happy identifying themselves as Anambrarians.

"Inferiority complex" is a group of people dominating politics in a state and still claiming to be marginalized. I've never seen anything in Nigerian politics like Orlu people claiming to be marginalized by Owerri people who have occupied the governor's office in Imo for less than a year in a 25-year period since 1999, while Orlu have held the governor's slot for 20 years in that time. It's the most shameless political stunt in Nigeria. All because Owerri has some universities. Yet, Onitsha that does not have a single tertiary institution of any kind doesn't have its people crying about how other places in Anambra have cornered all the government institutions.

You might see that as the only difference between Anambra and Imo, but there is no group of Anambrarians like Orlu people. Like it or not, we do have a very strong sense of comradeship in Anambra between all distinct groups while your lot go around castigating Owerri people as demons and spinning conspiracy theories about them. Even some of the groups in the Orlu zone (especially the oil producing communities) that you're hoping to drag into your state with you see your lot as toxic and would prefer to be yoked with Imo state in the current political arrangement than be dominated by your lot. Because if you can still be crying marginalization after dominating a state's politics for 20 out of the last 25 years, then only total, undisputed dominance of a full century would satisfy your lust for power.

If you have no pictures to share, stop these needless conversations. This thread is all about pictures - stick to it.

I've implied nothing other than ask you for evidence of the claim that "Anambra" is an Hausa word. The history of the name is sketchy. It could be from the Anam community by the Omambala river in Anambra West LGA, said to be the last Igbo-speaking group encountered by colonialists in their Northward expansion. Or wherever. But if you are claiming that it was an Hausa name, you have to provide evidence of it. It seems something you invented to feed yourself the delusion that we have no real sense of kinship among ourselves, but you're wrong. That might be the Orlu experience in Imo, but it's not our experience in Anambra.

Stop spewing nonsense. Anambra is a monolithic state. Go and create your Orlu state , Anambra is not interested in it. Anambra people takes prides in their state and I have not seen one community that wants to leave Anambra. It feels great to be an Anambran. Take your inferiority complex elsewhere because Anambra generally has nothing in common with imo state

I think your own clan fall from sky like Oduduwa nation. Igala is more Igbo than Orlu.

Point of correction: Nobody is talking about east (Hausa ppl fraudulent geopolitical zoning) we are talking about Igbo. Igbo ppl were divided into different geopolitical zone in a bid to weaken us... This includes Anioma people.

Ironically, Umueri people of omagbala believe they're from the sky like Oduduwa.
But sky has been turned to Israel by semi-literate people like yourself who use the bible to decipher history due to being primative and unlearned.

Idk what you're talking about as far as zoning. What I know is Anambra was created and named by hausa using Hausa dialect and pronunciation and I'm still correct in saying this. No englishman will pronounce Omangbala as Anambra.

also, who among us is from Orlu?

According to your semi- mind, English does not repeat sound twice and will rather pronounce Anambra as Anombra.
Now what do you have to say about English words like Analysis, Analog, Anabel, Anaconda,... You see how demented u are portraying urself to be even when I don't want to believe you are?
Do you even know that ANAM is an ancient kingdom in Anambra west local government. A remarkable one surrounded by the great Omabala river+Other historic rivers. Sebi nah ur hausa uncle name the town that has been in existence before Your Town,local government and State?

Original since when? Igbo identity is a new colonial-era phenomenon where an Igboid-speaking cluster developed a common consciousness, just like Christianity was a colonial-era phenomenon. Your ancestors had no conception whatsoever of an Igbo nation.

And WTF is "lumpem", you clown? Do you mean "lumpen"? Seems to describe half-wits who think political organization and identity should be entirely constructed around primitive, parochial, clannish sentiments (including fake kinship claims) - which is how some clown I interacted with here some weeks ago claimed Orlu and Owerri people "have nothing in common" as substantive justification for Orlu state agitation. Yes, people in geopolitical entities organized around arbitrary borders can come to have strong identities if they find common cause and harmony. Anambra cohesion is not just a function of whether a group of Anambrarians speak the most similar dialect of Igbo. I know many Ihiala people (who you think are your brothers) and I don't know a single one of them who don't strongly identify with being Anambrarian. Just because Orlu are architects of division and resentment and suspicion in Imo, destroying the social cohesion of Imolites, doesn't mean everywhere is the same. You don't seem to have ever asked yourself why all these state agitations from that particular cluster of Igboland (whether Njaba, or now Orlu state agitation) is led almost exclusively by your lot and not all the Anambra groups that you think are your brothers.
