Ebonyi state was not created from all the four southeast States. Why will any sixth state for the southeast be carved out from all the five southeast States?
Abia state was not created by cutting out local government areas from Anambra and Enugu states. Enugu State was not created by cutting out local government areas from Imo state. So how can you change pattern of state creation when a sixth state in the southeast area is to be created.

Location of a sixth state for the southeast does not belong to all the five southeast States, because there has been an existing pattern through which all the five southeast States came to be.
Clamour for Njaba state started long before Adada and Aba states proposals. Your Etiti once called Igboezue was a last afterthought by Ohakim and co after the then National Assembly had been dissolved. Do some research before you come out with your Etiti state proposal of conscripting local government areas because they speak Igbo - no other nexuses between the local government areas to be conscripted.

At the National Political Reforms Conference of 2006, the same Njaba state proposal came up but named Orlu state by the Rep who promised it. There was no mention of Adada or Aba states suggestions then. In fact, Adada and Aba state proposals emerged after Arthur Nzeribe proposed Orashi instead of Njaba state proposal. But at the end, Ohaneze Nd'Igbo led by late Iwuanyanwu adopted Njaba state proposal as the most viable and submitted Njaba to the National Assembly for state creation. Today, it's the same Njaba/Orlu/ANIM state that was first proposed before the present National Assembly for actualization. Etiti proposal crept our shortly after.

You are just running around in circles!
Abia state was created by cutting out LGAs from Imo state.
Enugu by cutting out LGAs from Anambra.
Ebonyi by cutting out LGAs from Abia and Enugu.

Notice the pattern? Once a you have produced a state before, you don't get to produce again.

The only state in SE that hasn't produced a state in SE is Ebonyi, they are the only ones that could claim the argument you are making.

You story on Njaba/Anim is ridiculous, like I suspected, you are parochial and know nothing else about the rest of Igboland except your Orlu zone, little wonder you have the entitlement mentality that what belongs to all of us should be packaged and delivered to your Orlu, how ridiculous!

For your information, the oldest state agitation in SE is Adada state.
The agitation started in 1983!

Read here:
"When was Adada state first proposed? The push for an Adada state dates back to 1983. Over the years, various committees and national conferences have recognised the legitimacy of this demand, reflecting its deep historical roots and the people's persistent desire for it.

I also noticed that you stylishly avoided the fact that Orlu have monopolized the political structure of Imo state and by the time Uzodimma leaves in 2027, Orlu would have ruled Imo state for complete 24years since the return of democracy in 1999, yet you want to sell the marginalisation story to who?
You are not serious bro.

You can write it down anywhere you like, there is zero chance of Anim/Njaba state happening.

If we go by oldest agitation, it will be Adada, but then again, Nsukka people cannot be gifted what belongs to all of us, so Adada state will not happen for same reason Njaba/Anim will not happen.

It will have to be Etiti/Igboezue or whatever you call it, but certainly a state that benefits all 5 SE states.
And maybe if they get their acts together, we could throw this Etiti away for Anioma state that MUST be zoned to SE!

We are not against orlu/njaba state as long as there’s no part of Anambra that’s involved in creating it

Orlu/njaba should form with either parts of Abia or rivers, we will wholeheartedly accept it but anything that will touch Anambra, you’re wasting your precious time

About one month ago, political, traditional and other leaders from parts of Anambra south senatorial district met with political and traditional leaders of Imo West Senatorial district for actualization of ANIM state formerly proposed as Njaba or Orlu state
Abambra is not an ethnic group as some laggards see present Anambra State. Many towns in Anambra south senatorial district originally belonged to Orlu Division before states started to be created. Even till today, many of the parishes in Anambra south senatorial district belong to Orlu Catholic Diocese.

Continue yapping dust
Anioma state is the new southeast state

No part of Anambra will be reduced to form any imaginary state, as you know that Anambra is the smallest state in southeast
