Observing of Monday sit at home is not really bad.
Employees in SE are actually enjoying it and don't even want it to end. As it means they work less hours for same pay.
Customers know that Monday is not business day so they have adjusted to making their Monday transactions in other days, business men are not losing any money because of Monday sit at home.

Why wouldn't other regions agree for SE to have 6 states? Don't they want Nigeria to function? How can a country function without equity and justice?

Minorities in Delta are fighting and killing themselves over land disputes everyday. Ijaw Vs Itsekiri, Itsekiri Vs Urhobo over Warri Vs Wado city, etc.
Anioma can do better by leaving you all in your mess to stew while they join a homogenous and stable SE.
By the way all available stats still shows SE to be the most peaceful zone in the country, so your UGM stuff is exaggerated.
Ned Nwoko Anioma agenda is a noble one that his fathers started since 1939! Let that sink in. He didn't start it, Anioma unification with Eastern Igbo has been in the burner since 1939!

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

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.

Is it not obvious..
The minorities need Anioma and Igbo speaking groups more than Anioma and Igbo speaking groups in SS need the minorities.
It's a case of crab in a bucket.

It's same mentality Nigerians have towards Igbo exit out of Nigeria.

The minorities see Aniomaland and other Igbo speaking parts of SS as their own civil war bounty and Anioma people and other Igboids as mere occupants of land that belongs to them( Minorities) by virtue of being pro Nigeria during the civil war.
Listen to them speak and you get the feeling of how they view you Igbos in SS as settlers, slaves, etc, in your own ancestral lands o!
They have the delusions that the only way you guys can be allowed to occupy your ancestral lands which they now see as their own land, is if you are willing to denounce your Igbo tag.

Their need to have you guys stay in SS is not built out of love or brotherhood, but out of hate, spite, deluded sense of conquest and ownership of your lands.

If you guys don't find a way to separate yourselves from these guys while you still can and while SE Igbos still yearn for it, your children will cry and will never be able to forgive you guys.

A case in point is what is now happening to Igbanke people.

Decades ago they were not assertive of their relationship with other Igboid groups. This allowed internal colonizers to join them to Edo state.
Today, they are crying and now want to be added to this proposed Anioma state and they now realise they have more in common with them than with Bini people. But it could well be too late for Igbanke people. Let that be a warning to all these Igbo-denying Igboids.
Time will come, when they will want out of any fake unions with internal colonizers, but it will already be too late.

Orlu state creation is of no strategic importance to Ndiigbo.
Why exactly should a state meant for the Entire SE be dashed to just Orlu? Unto wetin?
Are Aba , Adada, Etiti and other state agitators a joke to you?
Lol!
If anything the SE will opt for a state that benefits all SE states and that's the old proposed Etiti state that will involve all parts of current SE state as its constituent part.
You are becoming annoying with this your Orlu intrusions and I'm beginning to develop hate for the whole Orlu agenda and I believe I'm not alone at this point.
Drop it already!

They are not asking for a state for just Orlu, from the way you see it. The name Orlu is merely the headquarters of the 12 Local government areas in Imo West senatorial zone; when they are outside Imo state, the people in the 12 local govt areas identify with the name Orlu. Also, a lot of the local government areas in Anambra south belonged to Orlu political division before states were created, and they share common ancestry with parts of Orlu zone; ask people of Uli, Amorka, Uga, Orsumoghu in Nnewi south, etc, local govt areas in Anambra south, Methinks, your disrespect for the name Orlu and its people, or desire for your Anioma state, is what is making you write falsehood as well as spit on the faces of people from Orlu zone. Stop it. Those people are also Igbos. And you tell your uninitiated listeners that you want reunification for Igbos through creation of Anioma a state and returned to the southeast zone?

Ika and Ukwuani benefit more from Delta state than Urhobos and Itsekiris, because Ika and Ukwuani are closest to Asaba where the revenues for development projects in Delta state are shared.
Ned is merely a rabble-rouser with his talk of joining Anioma to southeast. "E nwere onye huru ebe anaechi ozo ma gaa ebe anaru agwu?" Meaning: who moves from a place of wealth to a place of dryness?

Obviously, Ned Nwoko who is a multi-millionaire has taken a good look and noticed that the SE is the place to be, rather than the SS.
Nwoko wants his people ebe ana echi ozo.

Amah70:


The point you are ignorant of is that politicians from this part of Anambra south jointly signed for Njaba State during the Obasanjo administration, and the same circumstances prevail today for the same Njaba now nicknamed Orlu State.
Don't be deceived by a few people that are not from Anambra state who have been writing rubbish here.
Most of the people from that part Anambra South have ancestral ties and speak similar Igbo dialect with people in many parts of Orlu senatorial district. Loads of the church parishes in this part of Anambra south even belong to Orlu Diocese today.
When you don't know much about an area, stop writing rubbish about the area

Nwokem, Orlu state is totally unstrategic. The only thing Igbos can gain from Orlu state is more representation in the national assembly.

No core Anambrarian will be thrilled by this Orlu state of a thing. Anioma state makes more sense for the Igbo nation

pazienza:


1. Igbos outside SE are disunited with those in SE, and the disunity is deeply rooted in political boundaries which started when Bernard Burdillion divided Igboland into Eastern Igbos and Western Igbos in 1939. It's an anomaly our people have sought to correct since then.

2. What stake in oil rich SS are speaking of? Anioma have enough oil and gas for themselves and don't need those of Itsekiri, Isoko, Ijaw and other Minorities to be fine. Under Anioma state, they will have full control of their own resources and grow on their own pace outside the noise and drama from Minorities of SS! Anioma is not a parasite dependent on SS for sustenance, Anioma is fully viable and capable of independence. If anyone needs each other, it's minorities that have always needed Anioma. They are the ones that came begging in 1960s for Dennis Osadebey to rescind his reunification with Eastern region agenda and accept Midwest arrangement with the minorities.
Anioma has never needed or begged the minorities to be in same political arrangements with them, it has always been the other way round.

3. You are the divisive one, you claim you want a 6th state for "SEners" when in actual fact, what you want is a state for Orlu! If I ask you to bury your Orlu state agitation and support Adada, Etiti, Aba states agitations who are all in SE and all have merits to demand for state, you will not. You will find a way to claim that Orlu should be the front state. So in essence, your interest is myopic, parochial, atavistic and lacking in pragmatism or foresight, you haven't outgrown your clannish loyalty. You need help.

4. You can't know what SE want more than SEners. Go to the Facebook and Twitter pages of Senator Ned Nwoko, see SEners all supporting the proposal,, our people have grown in maturity and now know that nothing is more important at this point in time in our history than Igbo unification!

5. If at all there will be 6th SE state, you can be rest assured that it will be Anioma that SE commoners will back, and woe betide any SE politician that doesn't play along.
The only thing that will kill Anioma state agitation is Anioma people themselves.
If they reject Ned Nwoko proposal and decide to continue swimming in dirty pool with minorities that see their land as conquered territory and themselves as slaves , then we move on, maybe back Orlu state and let them stew in their folly, but atleast posterity will be fair on us and Senator Ned Nwoko.
But it will be a big shame on us in SE that a big chance to bring Anioma back to SE was presented and we chose a meaningless Orlu state creation over it. Our children will look at us in the future and shake their heads in disgust.

History you don't know; you need to get to know the history of state creation in the southeast zone: Old East Central state was divided into Anambra and Imo states in 1976.
Anambra state had Enugu, Abakaliki, Nsukka, Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi areas. Imo state had Owerri, Aba, Umuahia, Orlu and Okigwe areas.

Again another state creation exercise: Anambra state was divided into Enugu and Anambra states. Enugu state had Enugu, Abakaliki and Nsukka areas, while Anambra state had, and still have Onitsha , Awka and Nnewi areas. At the same time, Imo state was divided into Abia and present Imo states. Abia state had Umuahia and Aba areas. Imo state had Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe areas.
For the 5th and last state in the south east: Ebonyi state was created from Enugu state mainly through taking out Abakaliki from Enugu state. Enugu state is now left with Nsukka and Enugu areas. Afikpo local government area of Imo state and Isuikwuito local government area of Abia state were joined to Abakaliki to form Ebonyi state. Imo and Anambra states still remain more or less the same. Why would you talk about dividing Enugu state again, whereas Imo and Anambra states still remain the same like before Ebonyi state was created?
Bros, be wise. We want Anioma but in the southsouth.
Igbos first want a 6th state in the Southeast, at least for adequate political representation in Abuja for the millions of people from the southeast zone. How does creating Anioma state for the southeast increase the sought political representation in Abuja for Igbos?

ggood:
Igbos have started with their disunity, allow Orlu State scale through first

Orlu State doesn't make sense.
What we want is freedom (restructuring of Nig)

Imo State is one of the smallest States in Nigeria

I don't understand the mumbojumbo you are writing bro.
Every single state in the SE has had new state created out of it except maybe Ebonyi.
Imo, Anambra, Enugu and Abia have all had states created out of them in the past.
The only state that can cry of not having had a state carved out of it is Ebonyi.
So this your state creation history is a bit misguided and totally redundant!

Enugu is the biggest SE state by landmass. Let that sink in!
Nope. It's Orlu people like you that pretend like you want a new 6th SE to come from SE, when in truth all you want is Orlu state and will not support any plan to have the so called 6th SE state come outside Orlu. You are narrow minded and we all can see through it.

Majority of Igbos want Anioma state to be created and zoned to SE. That's what we want. You can go home and tell your Orlu people who are like you and can't get off their primitive selfish thinking pattern that you lots are Minorities in the multitude of SE population as far as this issue is concerned and your wish will will be overridden by ours( the rest of reasonable people in SE within and outside Orlu).

Owerri zone is now nearing Abuja in modern development, whereas Orlu zone left with no government institutions and parastatals to induce modern development in it has gone down.
Freedom from what? Having Owerri and Orlu in the same state is a huge fraud and like imprisonment for Orlu, because the two areas don't share common ancestry, and that's why Owerri seized and continues to seize all government infrastructures for Imo state for location in Owerri zone.

The typical minority sees Anioma land as their civil war reward and Anioma people as mere strangers, slaves, etc occupying the land.
You hear it steady when you listen to those minorities talk. I'm surprised that Ndi Anioma don't pick that up.
Hmm!
They will cry in the future if they don't get out of that quagmire while they still can and let those Minorities steam in their Igbophobic resentments and concentrate fully on fighting themselves for Warri or whatever,as was in the past.
Igbanke will have to cry blood to be able to escape Edo clutches as things stand. Edo see them as property that belongs to them. They even believe that Igbanke ancestral lands belong to Bini and that Igbanke people are mere occupants, strangers or slaves. The only way Igbanke will be accepted by them is if Igbanke forcefully give up their Igboid language and become fully assimilated as Binis, in other words they want Igbanke to commit linguicide just to be accepted as second class Bini!

And funny enough, it was Igbanke people Agbor phobia that made them opt to be administered from Bini rather than from Agbor, because they stupidly felt Agbor was out to assimilate them,when Agbor has not done such to other Ika speaking towns all around them.

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?
