We need gurantees from ndi Anioma and Nigeria government that ANIOMA will be merged with SE after creation before we sacrifice our own 6th state agitation for Anioma.Can't you get it?

The six geopolitical zones of Nigeria are not in the constitution, so what matters is just the creation of ANIOMA state.
The people of Anioma will choose the birds they wish to flock with.

Ezewuzie01:
The demand for Anioma State predates the creation of Old Bendel State, Edo State, Delta State, and even the Niger Delta and South-South geopolitical zones.

We have all the necessary resources to become a state. The agitation for Anioma State has been ongoing for over 30 years. Creating Orlu State doesn’t make sense. It’s like someone needing six fingers but, instead of finding the missing finger, he cut off one of his existing five fingers to make six. That doesn’t make sense.

What we need is Anioma State, not Orlu State.

- Senator Prince Ned Nwoko

Ned Nwoko is 100% right, nothing else to add

PressMyButton:
Is this another facebook post?. If the creation of Orlu state comprising homogenous igbo communities doesn't make sense, is it an Anioma state comprising heterogenous ethnic nationalities that makes sense?. You need sense to make sense, Senator Ned Nwoko needs common sense.

Yoruba man, do you have a fan in your house?

Waste of time, no new state will ever be created again, unless the Military take over, which is impossible.

It will be created and you can choose to hang yourself when it's done, lick the truth, son of coward Afo- n-j a

It is doubtful whether Edo state government will agree to let them go.

Try to have sense for once, the owners of the land will hold a referendum, is Edo and Igbanke the same? All man for himself.

paramakina202:


You guys are taking things for granted.Why kill your bill when you are not sure ANIOMA will be added to SE?The two can be created at same time if Anioma is to remain in SS.

You are right and makes a lot of sense, we should support both

Creating Anioma State in place of the deserved 6th state in the southeast area doesn’t make sense. It’s like Anioma which is in charge of
sharing the plenty 13% derivative for Delta state from federal allocations, but wants to abandon the sharer role to join a place where it will become starved; it's like using a trick of "take us Anioma to the southeast zone" to diminish political representation for Nd'Igbo in the National Assembly, FEC, and in distribution of federal government development projects. Federal development projects are mostly shared according to zones. Anioma as 6th southeast state to share federal projects with the other states in the Southeast area is a great cheating to the existing states of the southeast area.
Only the most apolitical Igbos in the southeast area can be deceived with the slogan of "join us Anioma to our kit and kin in the southeast."
Ala Igbo is Ala Igbo whether in Anioma or in Rivers state or in other states. We cannot expand Ala Igbo through making Anioma a 6th state in the southeast area. Presidential
Election results are not decided according to zones, but according to states. A presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 24 of the 36 states of Nigeria before declared winner. Not decided according to zones.
Anioma state can come after a sixth state is created in the Southeast area.
It's like lowering political representation in Abuja for Nd'Igbo if Anioma State is made to be a sixth state in the southeast area.

How is Anioma "in charge" of sharing derivatives in Delta? Enemies within of Ndigbo like you are quickly unraveling themselves because of petty selfish interest. Both the national political reform conference and the 2014 confab recommended an additional state for the south east and not an additional state in the south east. The proponent of orlu state is an over ambitious young man who wants a little empire that'll afford him the opportunity of occupying juicy political position and assigning political patronage to cronies, That's all. Greed and selfishness has blinded him from seeing the overall Igbo interest which Anioma state represents.
It is much more than sharing derivative or getting FG as there'll soon be resource control, and the Anioma is blessed with oil and gas too. It's about increasing Igbo influence which will lead to greater prosperity for the region. Igboland remain Igboland whichever region they fall but that argument is deceptive considering that "divide and rule" changes the interests of non-south east Igbos and weakens the general Igbo political and economic clout needed to bargain for a better position in the federation. An expanded Southeast will make the region stronger to attract other non south east Igbos into the region for integration and faster development.

You can see your likes are the ones deceiving our people. To think you even call people with contrary opinion "apolitical" makes it funnier.

ANIOMA state makes sense if it is going to become a southeast state but if they will remain in SS region then Orlu state or any other in SE is in order.

What are they doing with Egbanke if not marginalizing them?

It is unconstitutional we know but still relevant in Nigeria politics and mind you Nigerians are debating returning to regional government .

How do you start dragging whether Anioma state should be in SS or SE that does not exist constitutionally?

The most important thing is that Anioma State is created in Nigeria.

Until we return to regional govt(very unlikely), we abide by the constitutional provision and not Alex Ekweume's thought

States are created for even development and political representation.
Asaba was a mere little urban town when Delta state was created. Agbor was a mere roadside rural town when Delta state was created. Today, Asaba is chasing Enugu in modern development and urban expansion. Agbor is chasing Awka in level of urban development and urban expansion. Nkwere or Umuaka in Orlu senatorial district of Imo state was nearly of similar level of modern develooment with Agbor then. Orlu was of similar Divisional headquarters like Asaba when Delta state was created. The differences in the levels of modern development between Asaba and Orlu were slight when Delta state was created. But today, Nkwere and Umuaka have hardly added any modern development since then. Today, Agbor has expanded with modern development infrastructures many times more than Orlu.

So why would anyone who says he loves Igbo hide under "let's bring all Igbos (Anioma State) to the southeast," knowing full well that it's to make Imo West (Orlu) senatorial zone remain under developed?
Who wants Asaba, Agbor and other fast developing towns in Anioma to stop their benefits in resources rich Delta state, and come to struggle for survival in the southeast area? Think.

- Senator Prince Ned Nwoko

Senator Ned Nwoko is completely right on this. Some myopic and idiotic Igbos supporting orlu state are complete idiots and Bufoons.

1. Orlu state is exactly like Ned described it. Why would you further divide the limited land space further to create a state while you can get another state with new land space? That's real expansion and inclusion of Igbo speaking people that were erroneously carved into South South.

2. Ned Nwoko proposal coming from the Senate have a lot more weight than that nonsense called Orlu State.

3. Creating Anioma State will increase both the population and land space for South East but creating Orlu State won't achieve that ever. It's just renaming what already exists. Anioma State is a real addition to Igbos.

4. Anioma State is a by far more viable state economically than Orlu State. Anioma will add to the economy of South East, while the nonsensical Orlu State will not add anything at all, rather, it will reduce the little we have been able to achieve.

So, if the South East wants to be serious. Anioma State is the way to go. It makes sense economically and politically!

cjrane:
Governor Hope Uzodinma and other self-serving politicians from Orlu LGA are pushing the "Orlu State" agenda for their own gain.

Their scheme aims to create a personal fiefdom to plunder and establish themselves as warlords. The most outrageous part is their plan to forcibly annex huge parts of Anambra State (Ihiala, Uga, Amaeshi, Umuchu, Achina, Oneh, Nkpologwu, Uli, Akpo, Azia, Umunze, Ihembosi, Okija, Lilu, Nnewi South LGA communities Ukpor, Ebenator, Ezinifite, Unubi, Ekwulumili, etc) into their corrupt agenda. This move would marginalize these communities and permanently brand them as "Ndi-Anambra of Orlu State."

It's a blatant power grab with no regard for the people's will or welfare. This madness must be stopped!

In order not to be identified as Igbo, Chinedu Nwoko changed his name to Ned Nwoko and gathered favour from rest of Nigeria beginning after the civil war till today.

A lot of the other ethnic groups in Anioma don't accept that they are Igbos.
How do you want to deny the southeast area what it deserves and has been asking for since 1996 when Abacha created the last states, took the sixth state that was supposed to be Njaba state proposal (same as this Orlu state proposal) to make the 7th state in the NW area?

A saner person would not want to call you people mad, people who are saying Anioma should be the 6th state in the southeast. It's poor education that makes you people believe that the level of insult you dish out to your opponents in an argument, wins you the argument.

There is no thinking Igbo in the southeast area who cannot see that making Anioma become the 6th state in the southeast area actually reduces political representation in Abuja for Nd'Igbo. Has Chinedu Nwoko, alias NED Nwoko, ever identified with the Igbo in the southeast? What has Ned Nwoko done in the southeast to identify with Nd'Igbo in the southeast?

paramakina202:


They are not dumb,was there any bill for Anioma state before Orlu Bill was presented in House of Reps?
Secondly how are you sure that ANIOMA state currently in SS region will be carved to SE before or after it is created?

I dont know why some of you refuse to have sense. The idea is to increase the number of states for South East to Six. So, Anioma State is for South East not South South.

We all know they will flock with the 5 SE states. That's because we all speak the same language and our cultures are similar.
And the fact that they know, they are being created to balance the national zonal equation to bring the SE to equal number of states with other zones, it makes it impossible for them to think of themselves as nothing else than the sixth SE state.

Will you shut up? Some of you idiots reason from your anus! What have you done to Delta Igbos to give them confidence that they are Igbos? Foolish fool! It's idiots like you that they manipulate to constantly show hatred to our brothers and sisters in other states outside South East region!

Tell me, what does your nonsensical Orlu State add to South East? What does it add? Fool!

Does Orlu State add any extra land space or economical viability to South East? What of political viability?

Look I don't suffer fools gladly. I dislike people who reason from their anus! The brain exists for a reason. Stop being silly!

Try and understand strategy. Anioma State will add economically, politically and extra land space for South East! Your stupidity Orlu State will not add any of those.

When the time comes, the chicken will come to roost! Let the state be created first.

I thought you were going to backup your crap with facts. And how has Igbo collective agenda become my "parochial" interest. Go and revisit the recommendation text of those conferences and see it's clearly written that additional state should be created for the south east. An additional state for the south east is a separate recommendation from other state creations. It seems You are grappling with the word "additional"

Again, being the capital of Delta state only made Asaba more strategic but not more developed. I wanted you to state what Asaba has that other South Eastern capitals don't have. Asaba would have developed more if Anioma was created in 1991. The development it's seeing now is mainly investment from Igbos across the Niger and Anioma state will increase such investment. Your Orlu state idea is a senseless one. South eastern cities are expanding and need more space not more boundaries.

Stop hating.
We are Orlu zone men and women, we are too many, capable. and more populated than Anioma. Anambra south can remain with Anambra. The 12 local government areas in Orlu zone is up to one state when compared to the 9 local government areas in Anioma. Anioma is not Igbos only. A lot of them are non Igbo ethnic groups; there are people in Anioma who do not answer Igbos. Some even answer Okechukwu but tell you I no be Ibo.
Make una stop all these tall grammar. Anioma is not coming to the southeast. Anioma in southsouth benefits Igbos more than Anioma state in the SE.
