Igbos dominates annang in akwa ibom

your dreaming which Ibo mention any Igbo political holder in Akwa ibom

Jman06:
Orlu state is not as important as Anioma state. I'm from Enugu and I'll support Anioma state more than Orlu state.

Thank you

you to grab south south land never go to Benue and Kogi state and grab

pandax:


Ohaobu is Igboland in Akwa Ibom

who is their lga , any political appointee there

mrvitalis:

There are Igbo but very very very small not even upto one ward.. But yes there are igbos

ok maybe just one village

greenandy:


and how can you ever secure resource control and decentralization of power where every zone will be independent? In Nigeria's National Assembly over-populated by northern region which wants the political status quo to remain? Or by war?
Just as you said: like Abuja controls over 90% of power in Nigeria, Owerri controls over 90% of power in Imo state. (forget that govs come from Orlu zone). That's why you want freedom of Igbos from Nigeria, that is why Orlu also wants freedom from Owerri in Imo state. Orlu has heard nwii from belonging to Imo state where Owerri does not regard Orlu as part of Imo state. Go to Orlu and Owerri to see the differences.

For your backward mind, you believe we will continue with it just to avoid another war? you must be joking, another war will never be like before, 90% of North Central will never fight again for North, and south south is a no go area at the moment, nobody is scared of North other than Sad west, get it into your thick head

Obi1kenobi:


It is profoundly dumb for a country of 200 - 250 million people to continue to rely on a unitary system of government where the oil producing states and Lagos provide all the government revenue to be shared out to the rest of the unviable, unproductive states. That many Nigerians like yourself have not understood that this is a major structural defect holding back the rest of the country is why we're doomed to remain one of the most wretched countries on the face of the earth. If you actually had to sit and think about how your Orlu could be a viable, productive state rather than just sucking revenue it does not generate in Federal allocation, you would arrive at different conclusions about your need for statehood.

Why would landmass not be considered in state creation? It would be stupid not to consider that. Look at the SE on a map and look at the size of every other geopolitical zone in the country. Why would you continue to divide your tiny state? Imo and Anambra are already the 34th and 35th smallest states in Nigeria out of the 36, and you want to further carve out Orlu state from them? Your whining about marginalization happens in pretty much every state in this country. There's nothing special or unique about Orlu. Almost every state has an axis of concentrated development, usually around the capital, surrounded by many other more remote areas with significantly less infrastructure and development. If all the other groups crying about marginalization should also get their own states like Orlu, we would have over 100 states in this country.

Then you further go on to expose your crude clannish mentality talking about how Orlu and Owerri don't share common ancestry. The SE is BY FAR the most ethnically (and religiously) homogenous geopolitical zone in this country and we continue to have this stupid clannish fights. You deserve your own states because Owerri people are different clans from you. What if they were an entirely different tribe with an entirely different religion like the many states of the Middle Belt who learn to live together? What would you now do?

If you had known how many years of efforts many of us had put crying for return of True and Fiscal federalism to the regions of Nigeria, you would not be so condescending in rest of your take above. Do you pluck True and Fiscal federalism from a tree in Nigeria, or do you want to war for it? Not even many states in Nigeria will opt to return to their former regions. Owerri in Imo state, for example will not. Did you not hear Owerri dragging international airport for SE for Owerri, instead of Enugu Akanu Ibiam International airport; that was when one Owerri woman was Minister for Aviation?
The other multi ethnic states learnt to live together because all groups benefit, however little, from spread of government development infrastructures in the state among the various ethnic groups in the state. In Imo state, Owerri hid under state capital during the military era and dragged all federal universities, polytechnic, even state university, all state ministries and federal parastatals in Imo state and located them in Owerri zone.
YES, because Owerri people know they have less in common with Orlu is reason why Owerri swore after the present Imo state was created, that no public institution or parastatal of federal government in Imo state must be allowed outside Owerri zone. Owerri believe a new state will come to Orlu. Face reality and stop using ONE IGBO to hide the truth.
If they consider land mass when creating state, Niger state would be made 3 states before the entire southeast zone is made a state. GO BACK TO SCHOOL TO LEARN ABOU A FEDERATION AND HOW IT GETS NEW FEDERATING UNITS.
If you love the Igbo in the SE, ask for a 6th state for them.

christistruth01:


Yet you had no problem when your people were trying to claim Lagos Island for Benin?

Sometimes it's seems Gowon and Obasanjo were too Magnanimous when your fathers surrendered your entire Homeland to them and were begging for Mercy

It is even better that Muritala Mohammed was out of the Country when it happened

Yeah, the joys of 'one Nigeria' , fighting and killing each other because the British made the mistake of Bringing us together

Odibembem:


So employees are happy to work four days in d week and get paid for d entire week? What of employers? Are they also happy? Do u know how many businesses have withheld expansion into the SE cos of this evil forced sit at home? U think salary to pay employees comes from where? Revenue? Sit at home is shrinking revenue and with time they will start downsizing. Oh and an Anioma state won't be too different from Ondo, small derivation and they will struggle to pay minimum wage.

U say other regions will agree to give SE another state cos of equity. Really? In terms of population, SE is by far d smallest, also smallest by land mass but I don't even wanna go there. What matters most is population and by that SE is cheating both NW and SW. SE for d sake of equity doesn't even deserve to be a geopolitical zone, but fortunately zones are not recognized in d constitution.
Let me outline to u, u may not like hearing this but d north and SW holds d key in any constitutional amendment cos d law requires 2/3 votes in both chambers and then another concurrence in 24 states, 19 of which are in d north. Why should d NW agree to dilute it's majority by allowing an extra state even in d South? Politics is about interest, u should know they won't agree, this is just a waste of time. The process of state creation is so cumbersome that there is no need trying. David Mark was Senate President for 8yrs, he kept promising his Idoma people Apa state to end their marginalization in Benue. Could he achieve it? No. So how can okor Regina, a first term non ranking Senator achieve his phantom Anioma? Abegi, let's go and argue more serious issues

Obi1kenobi:


You said "one man made noise" and have spent most of the thread ranting and insulting "jewish" people and whatnot in your typically crude manner and it's been accurately pointed out to you that you should address your rabid ravings to your own Senator who introduced the bill and leave us out of it. Address your identity crisis with your politicians who cozy up to Igbo people in political maneuvering when it suits them, so that their riffraff followers can then come and insult us and froth and foam in the mouth as usual. We see Aniocha and Oshimili people as our kin and have never called them "fake Igbos" like you've kept rambling about here. The rest of the other Igbo speaking groups in Delta who all claim to descend from one runaway Benin prince or the other are a different matter and we're not forcing you to do anything. Go to the social media accounts of your Senator and insult him for what he said and leave us out of it.

Look at this urchin from the street's reasoning. I clearly quoted the nonsense your brethren are saying and trying to clear it out with them and you are telling me that I should go and complain to Ned. Listen here what makes you think I haven't...?

Anyway keep on spewing lies and bull crap. These fake Igbos will never join the savages from the East

This buffoon thinks that if "another genocide is on its way" (ignoring the flippant, thoughtless mockery of genocide by a crude savage who projects his crudity on others by calling them "savages" ), his ilk won't be among the victims of the genocidal butchers. The Asaba massacre was one of the most heinous war crimes of the civil war. Imagine being the kind of window-licking cretin who thinks that an Abubakar or even a Segun would spare you because you claim to be Ukwuani or Ika and not Igbo. The eyes of you and your deluded co-travellers will clear that day. Unless you think it's YOU that will be inflicting the genocide, in which case all one can do is laugh at keyboard warriors.

What I'm trying to say is if we get that restructuring in federal govt then other zones can easily solve their problems or restructured themselves.

The people in National Assembly will never do that on their own, they will be forced to do it when the time comes.

If you know what's going on at world stage(International relations) then you will know that we're on the way to freedom. If you want to kill a snake then you have to strike the head, don't allow politicians to use this method of state creation to divert our attentions. Marginalisation of majority of zones is structured in FG. If we want to talk of creating another State then it should be Anioma but that's not what we want now.

onuman:


This demand for Anioma State was there in 2006 when the Ohaneze you now call on adopted Njaba as the proposed 6th state for the SE. The Ohaneze knows that commensurate political representation of people from the SE zone is main driver for a 6th state in the SE zone. Proposed Njaba state in 2006 is the same thing as the now proposed Orlu state.

Rubbish as usual!!

pazienza:


Enugu capital use to be the capital of old Anambra state.
When Enugu state was created, the remnants of Anambra had to look for a new capital, and that's how Awka became the new capital of Anambra state.
Nothing is new under the sun.

I don't even know why people are against the proposed Anioma state. I stand with Anioma state, it's long over due

How can they be your brothers yet you don't understand them when they speak?? I have a feeling a Yoruba guy is behind this account.

Why don't you face your oudua republic??

Nnaa, all available stats still shows that SEners are not economically worst or lagging behind the rest of the country that work on Mondays. It's all about quality not quantity.
The SE is private sector driven and the private sector players have found a way around Monday holidays. There is Saturday and there is Sunday as well.
Stop crying more than the bereaved.
Move on

Stop defending this lunacy. People in Anambra or wherever did not voluntarily choose not to work on Mondays. They avoid going to open their shops cos they'll be maimed and their stores looted and vandalized by thugs, with no security to protect them. The anarchy that these hoodlums have brought to the SE (goodluck trying to attract investment in a land ruled by the diktat of riffraff) has continued to metastasize and create a climate of fear and it doesn't seem to have taught IPOB apologists anything about empowering faceless thugs to override social order and the legitimacy of government.

You cretins had taken over asaba and they had to flush you cowards out...so watch what will happen.

If you love the Igbo in the SE, ask for a 6th state for them.

No. If you take the principle of fiscal federalism seriously, then it should start from your local policy. One reason I've always thought the whole Biafran agitation was deeply unserious was that the agitators never seemed to have given any serious thought whatsoever to the heavy net dependence of the SE on Federal allocation - feeding off the oil wealth of the Niger Delta and Lagos tax revenue. It's fine if fiscal federalism doesn't matter to you, in which case I understand why you may want your Orlu state so that you can get more Federal allocation, but if fiscal independence was any kind of serious objective to you, creating another economically unviable state out of 2 already Federally-dependent states in Imo and Anambra should strike you as absurd.

No, all groups do not benefit equally in other states. There are axes of development (usually centered around the state capital) and many much poorer constituencies with much poorer infrastructure. This is not in any way unique to Imo, though compared to a state like Anambra it seems the imbalance is more pronounced in Imo state. This is for you to sort out in your internal politics as rational, civilized adults and it must not be left to outsiders to bail you out. If a multi-ethnic state like Delta can live together harmoniously and find mutually beneficial arrangements between competing groups, then I can't take seriously an Orlu man trying to claim he cannot co-exist with Owerri people, and how they have "less in common". You're shaming the Igbo race here and I'm deeply embarrassed.

Yes, Niger state should be 3 states before creating a state out of Imo. Nobody is saying landmass is THE main factor. It should certainly be a significant factor. When you consider the tiny landmass of the SE (BY FAR the tiniest among the geopolitical zones) and ADD other factors like population, and ethno-linguistic and religious homogeneity, the SE is the least deserving region in Nigeria of an extra state. BY FAR. Other regions should fight to equal the NW's 7 states before the SE even achieves 6. If we can add territory from Igbo groups outside the SE in the SS or Middle Belt to create a 6th SE state, that's fine, but no division should ever come from within the SE's current borders. And even if that came, Orlu is not in any way more deserving than Adada or Aba.
