Greater Akwa Ibom > Akwa Cross: Akwa Ibom should annex parts of Cross River by Blue3k(m): 5:53pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
A greater Akwa Ibom would be preferable to Akwa Cross. It's wouldn't require Cross River's dissolution but simply changing map lines. It's much easier to incorporate people who are similar culturally, politically and demographically if they're willing join Akwa Ibom. The big concerns that will have to be addressed are public services, taxation, and taking their share of debt. It's can be achieved constitutionally with national assembly support, Cross River and Akwa Ibom assembly. States splitting up or reuniting are pretty issues unlike fiscal and electoral issues. Changing the lines on the map only alters how allocation is calculated slighty due to population and land mass. There's not going to any changes to the number federal representatives by redrawing boundaries. It would only effect state elections. The process will be dependend on Cross River state government willingness to part with hypothetical secessionist. Even if the people vote to leave it has to be approved by both state assemblies. The national assembly wont care since this doesn't effect the Nigeria's union. An Act of the National Assembly for the purpose of boundary adjustment of any existing State shall only be passed if- 1 Like |

I personally dont think the vote will happen. Even it does crosd river stste assembly wouldn't approve it. They're still realing in pain after losing Bakassi to Cameroon and oil fields to Akwa Ibom. The most likely people to join would efiks in southern Cross River. They voted in support of the acting justice despite being from "Akwa Ibom". 1 Like

Who are the people advocating for this akwa cross union, when both cross river and akwa ibom don't see themselves as one? A woman from akwa ibom married to a cross river man is denied a top government job ? 2 Likes |

jimyjames: Only the chief beggar beachside does. Akwa Ibomites certainly dont care for it after petitioning the government to create a state. The issue of her being denied the job is dumb but maybe it will make them want to join akwa Ibom. The job should be given based on her merit. Hopefully the people evolve to be more civic nationalist instead of ethno nationist. Blackking98: Lol the power rotation game is silly. This how people end up with silly governors like Ayade. I personally think the south should join but it's up to y'all to start the process. Akwa Ibom has more to offer than bitter politics. |

Blue3k:Hmm. But most northern and central Cross riverians don't like Akwa ibomites at all, pure hatred, the only thing we might reason is that there are Akwa ibomites in the CRS government already. But oh well. Let's see how things play out |

Beachside: Lol what this beggar rambling about? Nobody want's to merge with the clown budget state. Akwa Ibom is better is some metrics factually. GDP, poverty rate, infrastructure etc. Akwa Ibom is a better investment destination when as poven by FDI. Annex is the correct word so stop whining. You never give up on your mumu predictions are slways hilarious. Oil going to obsolete in a decade just like natural gas right? Coss River still reeling in pain over losing it's oil fields. The rest is simply baseless conjecture and opinions. 1 Like

I truly don't understand Akwa Iboms obsession with Calabar. It's almost like the Ibos obsession with South South. Just because you lack land mass, you are forming fake love. 2 Likes |

BlackPeni5:Igbos obsessed with South South? Lol, better don't start these rubbish today cause it won't end well... cause last time I checked, there are Igbos in the so called "South South" who identify proudly with their Igboness. So maybe the so called "obsession" is necessary and well in order for justifiable reasons. I won't suddenly abandon my brother because he was forced into another domain courtesy of some scam artificial boundary orchestrated by the Nigerian government, doesn't work that way. Now the other Igbos who are obsessed with the South South for other uncanny reasons other than the stated reason above, deserve to be rightfully called out. 4 Likes |

Tobrasky: Lol...you are very funny. Ibos don't even like themselves. The only thing that unites Ibos is when they collectively take advantage of others. Try to unite the Ibos in ibo speaking states first before trying to find something that was not lost. Secondly, the iboness in you is what has given you the bold mind to threaten that it will not end well for me for speaking my mind. You guys never learn. 4 Likes |

BlackPeni5:Look at these inconsequential clown having the gall to talk about unity, where are you from? Let's start from there before we go any further into baseless rhetorics. And leave Igbos to worry about their internal affairs, when we need or solicit the services of a "unity mediator", maybe we will call for you. And the cognitive Igbo side of me called you out for been an idiot, these thread had absolutely nothing to do with Igbos yet you mentioned them... so of course were you expecting a pat on the back for splurging your nonsense? I only nicely put your dumb aSS in check Aproko. 5 Likes |

Tobrasky: Bros leave English. Ibos were once the power house of this country and have some of the greatest minds in the world. But u guys are too selfish and not united. That is why you are where you are today. No wonder the Ikwerres and Aniomas don't want to associate with you. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Greater Akwa Ibom > Akwa Cross: Akwa Ibom should annex parts of Cross River by Tobrasky: 5:43am On Mar 08, 2020 |
BlackPeni5:Lol Mugu I'm Anioma if you must know, and we more than proudly identify with our Igbo identity, maybe you are mistaken us for the Ika who claim Benin roots...except you've gone from been the "unity mediator" of the Igbos, to been the mouthpiece of the Anioma about their Igboness or not... cause most of you can be very funny. I can't speak for the Ikwerre, but identity crisis maybe due to political reasons isn't a new phenomenon, but there are definitely thousands of Ikwerre who are very active in the sociopolitical dynamics of the Igbo consciousness worldwide. And I don't think Igbos are interested in been the power house of a fractured nation like Nigeria, the North who have way more to benefit from Nigeria should burden themselves with that responsibility. I think every sane Igbo person or community out there is more interested in leaving that useless country than bridging it. Lastly, where are you from? 2 Likes |
Re: Greater Akwa Ibom > Akwa Cross: Akwa Ibom should annex parts of Cross River by BlackPeni5: 6:07am On Mar 08, 2020 |
As you can see...throughout this conversation I didn't call you any name. But I'm a Mugu and inconsequential clown. I accept the glorified titles. Where I come from is none of your business....If What you say is true, I am happy that at least one Anioma identifies with igbo...if not I wonder where the name Delta Igbo came from. Why not just Igbo. |

Nigerians and their hypocrisy! The Ibibios of Akwa Ibom feel they can annex Cross River, a state that has tens of ethnic groups, many of whom has nothing to do with Ibibio but they don't see anything wrong in such idiocy. Yorubas think they are related with Itshekiri and also claim that Kogi West and parts of Kwara belong to them, and they feel they're right. However, when Igbos make moves to align with their blood brothers in South South, you will see these same people calling them land grabbers?! Igbo communities in Imo and Abia States were divided into Rivers State, at least there are Egbema communities in both Imo and Rivers likewise Asa communities in Abia and Rivers states. Yet these wicked souls get angry and frustrated when we try to align with them. What about Onitsha and Asaba, is there really any difference in the Igbo spoken in both cities? Just because some aboki created South South and divided our communities after the civil war then we should accept it like that. We should accept the poisoned chalice our enemies prepared for us?? One thing I know for sure is that even if every other region in Nigeria forms a country, South South will never form a country. 1 Like |

Lol why you feel the need to rant like a mumu. Did you bother to read past the title before going on your emotional screed. Reactionary clown there's nothing illegal or immoral about redrawing boundries to include people into state. There's a lawful process in the constitution. There's nothing hypocritical about my position. I've suggested this same process to other igbo commenters whining about the issue igbo groups in SS. The biggest obstacle is getting SS states to agree. Lol I knew you crybabies would figure it out yourselves so I told yall. You clowns like to whine too much. https://www.nairaland.com/5720653/state-line-boundaries-south-east [s] proeast:[/s] |
