Am from imo state but I strongly support Anioma state . Anioma are our brothers

[@tonyiyke2806]

Your analogy of cutting one finger into two does not hold water. Anioma state as sixth state for the SE is a cheat to all Igbos, including Anioma Igbos. The SE deserves a sixth state cut from Imo and Anambra States or from Imo.

Please educate me about origin of igbanke and do they speak Igbo language ?

[@ministerud7983]

The are Igbo speaking part of Edo State

[@peaceandlove-]

I am from igbanke, we speak Ika-Igbo language. We were unjustly carved into Edo State by the then governor or Bendel state because his mother was from my Igbanke and the father from Benin. In Edo State we have no say and they don't see us as part of them. Biko, Imagine my local govt is called "Orhionmwon" Benin language which I don't understand a thing. And I am tired of explaining to people that I speak Igbo language and yet I am from Edo State, it sounds silly.

Am a full IGBO man from Abia State, and l am 💯 insupport of this effort of creating of another state name ANIOMA STATE by the senator so that SOUTU EAST will have 6 states like other... And l am totally against the ÒRLÚ STATE which will be carved out from IMO STATE..

[@tonyiyke2806]

@williamsemeonye5350. If you are truly from the southeast area, consider yourself a half-baked educated illiterate. Reps from Anioma in the SS added to Reps from Orlu state means increase in political representation of Igbos in Abuja central govt. While Anioma as a sixth state in the SE reduces political representation of the Igbos in the central govt. of Nigeria.

[@OwethuDlulani-ll9xu]

I’m from Anambra state and Aguata local government areas. I’m fully in support to create Anioma state, my ancestors will be happy to rejoin my half brothers and sister whom have been long ago separated from us from the federal government marginalisation, we are Igbo and we are one. The bible says that the children of the Jews will surely come to unite together and the dots in Nigeria are connecting together

[@ck-sl3kt]

@OwethuDlulani-ll9xu the Ika and Ikwerre people are the ancestors of the Igbos. It is on record that present day Anambra people are migrants from the Anioma area, particularly, Isele Uku area of the region. Igbos need to be humble and respect the Ika people. Also, maybe Igbos can start thinking of changing the tribe name or choosing to use the name of the original tribes which are Ika or Ikwerre.

[@tonyiyke2806]

OwethuDlulani-II9xu Anioma people are not lost people. A river does not separate an ethnic group. Anioma Reps added to Reps from a sixth state created from the southeast add to political representation of the Igbos in Abuja central government. Burt Anioma as 6th state in the southeast actually reduces political representation of Igbos in Abuja central govt.

[@ekeneekene730]

Ikenga is a failure on this , how can he demand for cutting a state out from inside the little states of the south east ?? Anioma is reasonable for the south east NOT Orlu rubbish State.

[@user-jr9ew6yp6m]

At least he tried by speaking up when others were quiet. We have to commend Ikenga Ugochinyere for being proactive in his reasoning and pursuits. But we have to go for Anioma State. How I wish it could involve some parts of Kogi, Rivers and Edo States.

[@bontusbonny9308]

Ikenga is a strong man for creating the awareness in the house of representatives don't say he is a failure

[@papinoye3345]

[@naijagotitwrong]

Very very bad but are you sure they will put you into the Anioma State if eventually created?

[@tonyiyke2806]

Iberiberism is your cup of tea. Creating Anioma as sixth state in the SE shortens political representation of Igbos at the Abuja central govt. Add and subtract.

The senator is systematically avoiding some important questions being thrown to him. Anyways, am from Ebonyi state but i will only support the creation of Anioma State if it will be added to Southeast to bring their total states to 6. Anything out of this i do not support.

[@chinwendufrancisudekwe6449]

That is my position my brother, you dey see far. During election many of them will they're igbos, after we have fought for additional state to south east, they are now coming to grab it . If this is going to happen, there should be historical correction by telling their children the truth that they are igbos because the children of anioma people have told that they are not igbos just like other regions having igbo speaking people have also been told that they are but only come out to claim, they are igbos when something is be given to igbos.

[@longevity8696]

I am so happy you were re-elected. You have my support. Anioma we stand

[@pauluzoh]

I am from Imo but I think Ikenga Ugochinyere should as a matter of urgency shelf the idea of Urlu state and support Anioma state as proposed by Ned! This is not a time to grandstand!

[@Ace_Flash00]

I’m Igbo but grow up and currently residing in the United States. Can someone enlighten me on this State creation and if the East will have access to the Sea.

[@endy1070]

The East has access to the sea. The problem is the politics. Igboland was balkanized by Northern military rulers with the sole purpose of reducing us. There are a lot of Igbo communities on the edge of the sea that were carved into Rivers State

[@Ace_Flash00]

@@endy1070 I see. I appreciate that info.

[@user-re9ph3pr4y]

South east has access to the sea in Azunmiri Abia state. Oguta lake has access to the high seas

[@stevepathfinder3959]

Iam from Enugu. Immediately I saw this bill ,I was excited. Anioma is our people that was separated from southeast due to politics from past Nigerian govt. This imbalance would have been corrected if our earlier senators have been a true voice to the people just like we are clamouring for electronic voting to get the best leaders, restructuring to make every sector manage their resources, etc

[@tonyiyke2806]

@Stevepathfinder if you are truly from the southeast but got excited over creation of Anioma as 6th state in the southeast, consider yourself a poorly educated fellow who does not wish Nd'Igbo well. Reps from Anioma in the SS added to Reps from a 6th state to be created from the southeast means increased political representation of the Igbos in Abuja Central govt. But Anioma as 6th state in the SE actually diminishes political representation of Igbos in Abuja central government.

[@chibykloveday767]

When we achieve Anioma, our next focus will be channelled towards bringing in our people in rivers state to make us seven states. Fulanis can not come from nowhere to achieve about seven states in Nigeria while the orignal owners will be having fives and sixs.

How could any thinking person, like a senator, not see that new Reps from a 6th state carved in the SE plus Reps from Anioma increase political representation of Igbos in the central government? Ned Nwoko said "they" have only 5 states in the SE. Who are the "they"? Ned Nwoko does not even identify with the SE. He said Asaba has grown. But it's like he does not want another new place in the SE to grow from state creation; because what Sen Nwoko is doing now is like antagonizing development in Orlu area through his interloping after creation of Orlu state passed first reading in the NASS.
