We don’t need this useless bill for now . Another state for IPOB to occupy . We don’t need another terrorist ground

Coming from a HAPPY SLAVE

Abeg leave Etiti for Ekiti. We have not even govern properly the 36 +1 state we have with lots of looting here and there, and we want to add more.

Lol! Another mission impossible! The bill has scaled first reading and that's alright.
Scaling second reading is another matter entirely, because no Anambra community will agree to be part of the so called Etiti state.
Concerning the long proposed Anioma state, which Sen Nwoko recently made an advocacy for, even some Anioma communities have opposed it.
These people should forget about it because state creation ended with the military regime.

Who told you it's mission impossible? Which indigenes usually vote yes when they want to create new states? It's the govt that decides with little input from some privileged leaders. E.g. No Warri man believed that Asaba and Warri would be in the same state talk less Asaba being the capital of Delta. But today, what has happened? Both Warri and Asaba are in Delta state moreso, Asaba is the capital and everyone is happy together, understand?

This is encompassing than that of orlu state. Etiti will be generally accepted and created from all the 5 states.
This will sale

This thrash is not fruitful.

Anu Mpama, do you know the meaning of Etiti in Igbo?

What is the difference between Shukura and Chukwura?

The LGAs forming this one makes more sense than Orlu state just that there might be sound clash in pronunciation as both Ekiti and Etiti are the same word in Igbo and means the same thing -center or central.

This is better than both Orlu and Anioma.

-Anioma deserves to be a state on their own irrespective of whatever nonsense geopolitical zone they're called so the creation shouldn't be imposed on southeast. Southeast already has a few state proposals over the years and are not reliant on Anioma for 6th state.
-Orlu is an already existing LGA/zone so I don't know how they expect Anambara people like Uli, Ihiala who are within the same or greater calibre than Orlu in terms of development or political personalities to come under a state called Orlu with the same Orlu as capital. That is madness and a perceived continuation of Orlu's current marginalisation of other zones in the governing of Imo state.
-Just like this proposed Etiti state, A new or neutral name like Urasi state (culled from Urasi river that runs across the area) should be adopted instead of Orlu.
-Egbema (and even Oguta) people and their oil has absolutely nothing to do with Orlu people so they should be left alone in Imo or Rivers state.

They can create new state where there is no land but they cannot advocate for the referendum to carry their wahala and give us peace.
