State Creation In South East: Aba State by OnoVegasBlog: 4:29pm On Sep 29
In southeastern Nigeria, there has been a growing demand for state creation. For instance, in Imo State, there is a strong movement supporting the creation of Orlu State, while in Enugu State, the push for Adada State has also gained significant traction. However, the situation in Abia State presents a unique challenge. The Ngwa people, primarily situated in the southern part of Abia, have consistently advocated for the establishment of Aba State. Despite this, a significant portion of the Abia populace opposes this move.

Interestingly, while other Abians resist the creation of a separate Aba State, there are ongoing claims that Ngwa leadership has mismanaged Abia State. This contradiction is further complicated by the fact that many who criticize the Ngwa still hesitate to allow them to stand alone and develop their envisioned state.

This brings forth a critical question: why do those who express discontent with the Ngwa people’s role in governance also resist their desire for autonomy? There seems to be a persistent attempt to maintain attachment to Ngwa land, despite the calls for separation. This paradoxical stance reflects deeper socio-political issues within the state.

Ultimately, the Ngwa people find themselves in a difficult position, one akin to being trapped in a failed union with Abia North. This relationship, marked by mistrust and division, raises a broader question: who will champion the cause of the Ngwa people and bring an end to this untenable arrangement? It is evident that a resolution is needed, one that either allows for peaceful coexistence or paves the way for the realization of the Ngwa people's dream of building their own independent state.

We will continue to oppose Aba state and it will not see the light of the day.
People of Abia North invested and developed Aba and can't leave it for nde Ngwa.And secondly it is not in the interest of Igbo nation to have Abia state divided again after Afikpo was carved into Ebonyi state..

The oldest state creation agitation yet to materialise is Aba State which was supposed to happen when Cross River was created on 27 May 1967 by Gowon, Imo and Anambra States were created in 1976 by Murtala Mohammed.

You developed Aba but couldn't do same to Umuahia (the Abia State capital).
You couldn't do same to Bende, Arochuku, Ohafia yet you developed Aba.
I wish Ngwa will understand that their fate is similar to what transpired between Igbo and Ikwerre before the war..
Ngwa will be next.
Ngwa land would have been better had it been our ancestors were foresighted to follow the Ikwerre path.

The truth remains they can't survive without Ngwa.
Ebonyi would be London if compared to what will become of Abia without Ngwa land.
We understand your fear..
But we believe you are developers and will develop Bende.
Oh, I forgot you only specialize in developing another man land cheesy

Aba deserves a State status.
It's economically viable.
Has one of the largest LGAs in the East,Obingwa .
But the painful truth is,if Aba is carved out of Abia state,whatever would remain in Abia will be nothing but impoverished communities.
An average Ngwa man is very accommodating hence they allowed settlers and their businesses thrive on their land,yet these people,especially from Abia North,a.k.a nde Ogboo,have zero love,regard or respect for the people who accommodated them yet they cannot spent one full week in their villages away from Aba.

As an Anambra person who grew up in Aba,I want to state that Ngwa people deserve their own state and above all,respect from those who they accommodated.
God bless Ngwa land.

Go and create Aba state we are waiting.Abia state as it is currently is will last as long as Nigeria lives.
Ngwa people are like Ikwerre and given the opportunity they will do worse than them.

Let me state this. Abia north did not develop Aba, Imo and Anambra did.
Apart from Abiriba there is nothing in Abia north. Apart from Abiriba no part of Abia north is in any way better than Any part of Ngwa land.

It is their greed that will push them to fourth class citizens.Power was rotating amongst the 3 senatorial zones until it reaches Ngwa man turn and he presented his Ngwa brother from same LGA to replace him in government house Umuahia.They want to marginalize the rest of Abia state.

Very true.
Anambra and Imo,especially those from Orlu zone ,developed Aba.
Nde Ogboo back then were nothing but ndi obioma,mobile talilors,who lived in squalors then at Ngwa road,each occupying one room with his many wives and children. Abiriba people live more around Ogborhill axis because they are more elitist than the rest of nde Ogboo.
Ngwa land is blessed. In terms of topography,it is a table land,unlike the undulating topography of nde Ogboo.
In terms of Agriculture,Ngwa land is the food basket of Abia state,seamlessly feeding the millions of Aba inhabitants.
If only Ngwa people would come together in unity.....

Ignore this thread! It’s likely a alternate moniker of the ebubu impostor that’s behind it! His failed mission on this forum is to try and cause divisions amongst Ndigbo! Him and his bigoted ilk get sleepless nights agonising over the creation of the proposed Anioma state and it being added to the south-east, and it’s also his hateful and insecure ilk that look for, support or sponsor some greedy and compromised Ikwerre to say they’re not Igbo! You’ll also find other impostors on here pretending that Ndigbo want one state or the other created from the existing south-east! Ignore them all!

The only Igbo supporting the creation of any state other than Anioma state are doing so for selfish reasons!

I am Ebubu.
I am from Ngbo, in Ohaukwu LGA, same LGA as Simon Ekpa.
I support Anioma creation and addition to SE.
I do not support any other state within SE ahead of or before Anioma's addition to SE.
I do not support Regionalism.
I support Nigeria as it is presently constituted, however with extra state for SE and none other for other regions, to ensure equity in size.
I hate discrimination of Abakaliki and Ebonyi and their tag as Northern blood or Igala.
I support NdiIgbo but hate IPOB or Biafra.
I support Igbo to become President of Nigeria, alongside our proposed six states.

If you find Ebonyi state's trouble, or Dave Umahi's trouble, you've found my trouble.


These are all my submissions.

If land mass is all that matters, then no southeast state is qualified to be a state. FG should kukuma merge all South East state and turn the present state to LGA.
Some state in the north is bigger than south east combined.

Nigerians themselves know the history of states creation in the old East Central State now called southeast zone. Why do some Igbos continue to argue over which area in the southeast merits the proposed 6th state?
The 5th state in the southeast, Ebonyi, was carved from Abia and Enugu states.
Therefore a sixth state should be carved from Imo and Anambra States, or from Imo or from Anambra. The Orlu or ANIM state proposal is most suitable.
Anioma is best in the Southsouth for the overall interest of the Igbo in Delta state or in the southeast.
