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.

Will the new state open for business on Mondays?

Will the new state guarantee the lives of security agents

Create ten more states but investing there will remain risky

By the way, I’ll like this bill to scale through make their eyes clear

just as Bornu, Katsina, zamfara,Ondo,Ogu,Benue, Kaduna,platue,adamawa,yobe, rivers,bayesa, delta, Edo,kogi,Kwara,imo, Anambra,abia, Enugu and the entire country have all guarantee the safety and life of our security officers and farmers from the hands of kidnappers and bandit.

We should be more concerned of a more secured Nigeria not just a state or a region.

The insecurities is now all over the country no one and no were is save anymore in respective of the state and region.

So fash this your assertion the entire country is under attack

Augustine2244:

Oga, Anambra people of Orumba North and South LGAs don't share commonalities in customs and dialects with the other regions proposed to be part of the Etiti state.

Are you trying to be deliberately stewpid or what?
Do you know how many states that exist in Nigeria with different speaking dialects n customs?

The Igbo Reps in NASS are not pushing for referendum for biafra but are busy pushing for another dot state that will be the size of one estate in Niger State.
No offence meant but I feel SE shouldn't have more than 3 States considering the size. Niger State should start pushing for creation of 5 more States to properly capture their interest and that of NC in Nigeria.
We'll still get to 47 States, not 37. E sure me say Northerners go create additional 2 States each for NE, NW and NC.

the question you need to ask is, how many major cities are in the state? Hope you are not looking at the size of desert and farmlands?

If the south east says they need other state let them have it as long as delta state will not carry the burden of the state.

We don't need any new extra state in South East. Those dreaming of Anioma state are only expression their expansionist dreams for their biafra fantasy, soon they expand their sit at home to it. Western territory under Benin kingdom cannot be given to South East igbos . It is not possible. Even some sections of anioma don't accept it.

What we want is the release of Nnamdi Kanu not creation of State. Imo is the 3rd smallest state in Nigeria. The problem Imo have is federal structure not internal. These politicians should stop fooling themselves.

flokii:


A State that is twice the size of the entire SE region combined, if not more sef should be merged with another?.. you must be joking.

You ought to be giving the people there kudos for suffering in silence when SE that isn't as big as their State is getting x5 of Niger State allowance.

the question you should be asking is, how many viable towns/cities are in Niger state that can serve as human capital development to utilize those empty verse land into profitable use?

You can drive hours without meeting any tangeable town or infrastructure in Niger state.

Stop looking at empty verse land and desert as the basis for creating a state.

Mali
Chad
Niger would have been a continent while Seychelles, cap vade, Gambia, Israel, Belgium,Lesotho Togo and Benin republic would not have been a country

The south east is free to have an additional state as long as they will not become a parasite to the rest of us to survive as a state.

You should understand the nature of Anambra people. They see themselves as superior to other people in the East and will never agree to that

Now I believe your problem is ignorance
Do we have the same dialect in the whole of imo state? Does everyone in Abia state speak the same dialect? Tell me the state in the south east that everyone speaks the same dialect.
Ignoramus….

The name belongs to you and your entire generation.

YouAreNobody:


Yes, just as there are Igbos outside the SE.
I listened to Rotimi Amaechi speaking igbo and I was shocked because I could understand his dialect even better than I can understand that of parts of Abia state, but you lots say he's not Igbo because the military government decided to carve up igboland just to whittle down the influence of the igbos.

No. Ikwerre themselves said they are not Igbos

LAFOCUZY:


It's logical for all igbo to support the creation of Anioma state. That is the only logical decsion to bring together all igbo speaking people in Rivers, Delta, Kogi, Benue, Cross river and Akwa Ibom.

Why further breakup the already existing igbo states when we have igbo leaving in these other mixed states. These politicians and their self serving interest.

What is the benefit of futher breaking up the dorminant igbo states. No igbo guy should support orlu and Etiti states. It dose not serve the broader igbo objective as much as Anioma state will.

Igbo guy of little sense ?
The Reps of present Anioma added to the Reps of Orlu state increases political representation for Nd'Igbo at the NASS and the FEC. But you add tiny or no political representation for Nd'Igbo if you make Anioma to become the 6th SE state.
A 6th state for the SE zone must be cut from Imo and Anambra States or from either Imo or Anambra State; because the 5th state, Ebonyi, in the SE zone was largely cut from old Enugu State and small portion from Abia state.
Develop more sense.

All ibo states are parasites.
What do they have in that region, except markets where substandard chinese products are sold.
Ibo land contributes nothing to GDP.

plus the Igbos of Delta state-Anioma , are gaining more from Delta state resources than they would have gained from core Igbo region.

I talked about political representation for Nd'Igbo which will grow with new Reps from Orlu state added to the Reps of Anioma in the Southsouth.
But if Anioma is made sixth state in the southeast, it lowers political representation of Igbos at the federal government level.
I did not talk about mineral resources. Till today, no one can point to any where in Anioma where oil and gas deposits are tapped for Nigeria

Na so. Only a dimwit keeps all his eggs in one basket. If you refuse true and fiscal federalism, refuse extra states in in the southeast, we return to the trenches until one day, one thing happens in a jiffy. You will lose all the cheap cash from crude oil.

Go and form your biafra and leave Nigeria alone.
We are all tired of your nuisance

smileyoo:

don't mind him, Ekiti is even different from Etiti . when we advise them to be moving out of their self - imposed cave to explore their country, they will mistook it as insults .

Yorubas travel more than Ibos, just that there are places they avoid.

1. Yoruba and all Nigerians avoid ibo land like plague.
2.Yoruba don't travel to Asia where your blodas go mainly to prosecute their narcotic business.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:


How big is Bayelsa?

Do you know there are independent countries that are smaller than Lagos state?

Stop displaying your ignorance like some badge of honor.

If you don't know what states are created for, just shut it

Bayelsa alone is richer than all 5 Ibo states.

How do you intend to finance this new state when South East contributes little or nothing to GDP?

Kingsmeal:


Accidental lover of Niger state.

SW excluding Lagos State is the size of Niger state.

Senseless comment

Oyo state alone is larger than the whole of South East

Mindlog:


Personally, I am okay with being in Imo state, would prefer the creation of Anioma state as the 6th South Eastern state as Delta North is about the size of Abia state.

Frankly, creation of states is least of my problems.

javascript1901:
No. Ikwerre themselves said they are not Igbos

1 or 2 ikwerre men don't speak for the entire ikwerre tribe.
Numerous other ikwerre men have also said they're Igbos. Even Rotimi Amaechi said he's an Igbo man.
Asari Dokubo just said last week that he's an Igbo man (but we don't want him, you guys can have him).
You guys try to demarcate Igbo land based on States and Regions (which are even imaginary boundaries) and not based on language.

Ohaji Egbema in Imo State and Ohaji in Rivers State, for example, are the same community divided into two during State creation but you tell me one is in the SS while the other is in the East. Make this make sense.

Just in case you don't know, the incoming Ohanaeze ndi Igbo chairman is an ikwerre mannn
