Anioma is indeed an Igbo speaking part of Delta State. Most Nigerians believe that any additional state to be created in the South South should be Anioma just like Southern Kaduna should be the next state to be created in the North West. Anioma unfortunately is not part of the South East. To balance the imbalance in the number of states across the six geopolitical zones of the federation, it is right that an additional state should be created from the present South East geopolitical zone. Check the 2014 National Conference report recommendations regarding the creation of additional states and you’ll be educated the more.

One of the unique things about the ADADA State agitation is that beyond being the Oldest state creation agitation in the South East, it is the only state creation agitation in the South East in which all the consisting communities and LGAs are unanimously behind the struggle. It also enjoys the support of Enugu State Government. In 2006, Enugu State Government established a State Actualization Committee for the Creation of Adada State. Adada is unarguably a step ahead in this quest for a new state in the South East. I won’t be surprised if they eventually get their State.

When informed people are writing, you will always learn one or two things. Am glad we still have Nigerians who can express unbiased views. Indeed, the creation of Southern Kaduna at the right time will held address their age long marginization in the present Kaduna State.

Thanks for saying the truth. Indeed. Adada State creation agitation is many steps ahead of other state creation agitations.

ANIOMA means what? The Igbo word ANIOMA is not a problem to you but it is SouthEast that is giving you migraine.

Anioma means nothing in delta. The "MA" is only added to make it sound as ANIO-MA. The true acronym is ANIO which is representing the various ethnic groups.

Why did they add MA to it? You said they added it to make it sound as ANIOMA. Why must it sound ANIOMA? Why not ANIO?

Anioma means 'good land/prosperous land'. ANIO are acronym but MA was added to it to give it an Igbo meaning.

Of course, you know who, just to give it that ibo sound. "MA" has no meaning among the ethnic groups in Delta North.

Dude, you have no single clue! MA has many meanings.

ANIOMA was chosen to make it an Igbo name. It is very obvious. You can choose to live in denial.

You are the one who is not Igbo, doesn't understand Igbo language that is explaining what you do not know.

Why is it not ANIO? Why is it not OINA? Why is it not NIOA?

Anioma as a sixth state in the East is the newest and the most unpopular among the indigents - the Anioma
Etiti and Adada as a sixth SE state are far older .
Anioma agitation is old but as a state in the SE, it's fresh and just limited to one Anioma senator.

So, nothing yet is a distraction to prevent Anioma from joining the SE. Anioma people don't even want to join the SE.

Did the people you mentioned tell you they want to be in the SE?
Keep fighting irrelevant, unsolicited battles.
That clamour should come from the people in question, not you.
Must they be in the SE to be Igbo

Yoruba man carry Anioma matter for head like Afro.

Who do una this kind thing?

Nawaoo.... I've never seen such sets of humans in my life... Nobody from Anioma or Delta state is here creating threads, post and comments... Na Yoruba carry the matter for head because of their bitterness for SE

And all this bitterness could be because Sen. Nwoko revealed Anioma is blessed with Oil... If Anioma Nwoka proposed Anioma to join South West you'll be here shouting and supporting him with all your might.

Really disgusting sets of miscreants... No wonder you're known as cowards and 2 faced people Jesus
