We don’t need this useless bill for now . Another state for IPOB to occupy . We don’t need another terrorist ground

Coming from a HAPPY SLAVE

Abeg leave Etiti for Ekiti. We have not even govern properly the 36 +1 state we have with lots of looting here and there, and we want to add more.

Augustine2244:
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.

Who told you it's mission impossible? Which indigenes usually vote yes when they want to create new states? It's the govt that decides with little input from some privileged leaders. E.g. No Warri man believed that Asaba and Warri would be in the same state talk less Asaba being the capital of Delta. But today, what has happened? Both Warri and Asaba are in Delta state moreso, Asaba is the capital and everyone is happy together, understand?

This is encoming than that of orlu state. Etiti will be generally accepted and created from all the 5 states.
This will sale

igbo house and mumu reasoning. 1a and 1b


This thrash is not fruitful.

Kingsmeal:


Anu Mpama, do you know the meaning of Etiti in Igbo?

What is the difference between Shukura and Chukwura?

The LGAs forming this one makes more sense than Orlu state just that there might be sound clash in pronunciation as both Ekiti and Etiti are the same word in Igbo and means the same thing -center or central.

This is better than both Orlu and Anioma.

-Anioma deserves to be a state on their own irrespective of whatever nonsense geopolitical zone they're called so the creation shouldn't be imposed on southeast. Southeast already has a few state proposals over the years and are not reliant on Anioma for 6th state.
-Orlu is an already existing LGA/zone so I don't know how they expect Anambara people like Uli, Ihiala who are within the same or greater calibre than Orlu in of development or political personalities to come under a state called Orlu with the same Orlu as capital. That is madness and a perceived continuation of Orlu's current marginalisation of other zones in the governing of Imo state.
-Just like this proposed Etiti state, A new or neutral name like Urasi state (culled from Urasi river that runs across the area) should be adopted instead of Orlu.
-Egbema (and even Oguta) people and their oil has absolutely nothing to do with Orlu people so they should be left alone in Imo or Rivers state.

They can create new state where there is no land but they cannot advocate for the referendum to carry their wahala and give us peace.

Unserious people

saintmm:
I pray that this scales through for political reason.
Southeast getting sixth state is a win for the entire south.
Since Anioma doesn't want to be in South East, they should rest. But, East must get their sixth state, size doesn't matter.

but whether Anioma s south-east or south-south, it still benefits the Igbos na? they still rep Igbos interest in SS

they shouldn't have use similar name with Ekiti state. And south east region is small for more state, except they are creating from the igbo region outside south east then add to the south east region. That means other region will also create.

Maxtipulation:


Etiti mean centre or Middle in Igbo so, it means middle state

there should be another name for centre they can use na or another name entirely. na wa oh

YouAreNobody:

Yoruba man speaking for SS and SE🤣🤣🤣🤣

You guys sponsored regional government bill and forced every Yoruba-speaking community into SW while pushing some Igbo-speaking communities into the SS.

You guys are amusing. Anything to bring the Igbos down is what you'll

there are Yorubas outside SW region

richie240:

To me I think d 5 states they have is still too much as they are scattered all over nigeria thereby stressing the scarce infrastructure in those states.

If I have my way, the 5 se states should be compressed to (max) two, and the money saved thereby spread among their host states all over nigeria.

They want extra state but they are fleeing alaigbo in droves.

You are confused sir...the people you detest so much want to go and form their own nation...yet you are crying and prepared to have them in your useless contraption! so waht do you really want!

Mindlog:


I am from the Etiti area of Imo state, just as there is a town in Anambra state bearing Awka-Etiti, while a local government in Enugu state is, Igbo-Etiti

No one you is 'copying" you!🤣😅

You people now want to run from our beloved state?

Okoroawusa:
I don't really care about state creation because the ones created can barely take care of themselves but Orlu State makes more sense than this Etiti State

Why not create Isiewu and Okpa states?

These clowns should go and form their biafra and stop beating about the bush.
Enough of their nuisance!

culf:
I pray it scale through and get approved

In your house,abi?
I don't blame you people,na those jobless House people,who are Cruising with your life and rai forlorn -hope,by creating,false impressions in your minds that they are Working, when it's Nor true! What they are doing is to gives you wrong impressions but they are planing for more years in the Office!
-Did these House Assembly ,ever read the Constitution,on what it entails to Create a State in Nigeria.
The other day,it was Anioma State,by one Senator - from Delta State and these National Assembly are just Collecting their N30 Millions or 25 Millions Every Month, doing Nothing,yet the minions are busy on Nairaland and other Social Media, forgetting the impossible Missions.
What a Charade?
•When last did you hear about Serious matters that is germane to the Youths -e g Employment,First Class Education for our Youths, etc. How is it achievable - when DISCOS give only 6- Hours lights, instead of 24/7 - lights in 21st Century in Nigeria?
•How many of the National Assembly -have done their Works of -Oversights- to all MADs- Min, Agencies and Depts -this year?
You know they always abandoned them because of Corruption allegations against the National Assembly themselves!
e g the Elumelu Power Committee was abandoned because of serious Corruption Allegations!
Ekiti State ko,na Labor State ni.
Radarada - arant Nonsense!

Zonefree:

You people now want to run from our beloved state?

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.

PressMyButton:
Anioma will never leave SS for anything.

Ha choro isi na etiti kewa alaigbo

THE WHOLE SIZE OF THE SOUTH EAST IS NOT UP TO A STATE IN THE NORTH!ON WHAT BASIS IS IT BN CREATED?THAT IT COULD HAVE 6STATES LIKE OTHER GEOPOLITICAL ZONES?IS THE POPULATION OF SOUTH EAST UP TO LAGOS STATE?NO!!

Paraman:
The south east wants to have 7 state... I won't have mind sef if not that they will start mocking the south west and south south

Everything with una is about competition with the Igbos. Igbos currently have 5 states. If you attended primary school you’d have known

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.

are you okay? Do you know the population of Niger state compared with igbo population?
Do you know what it takes to be one of the major tribes in Nigeria?
You people should be the one giving us the kudos for cheating us over 4 decades with five state..

HRMK:

use your head as grown up man to know that south east population is bigger bigger than Lagos and should be compared with the entire west ..igbo population is over 50million..

https://gazettengr.com/bill-to-create-etiti-state-in-south-east-scales-first-reading/

It's logical for all igbo to 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 orlu and Etiti states. It dose not serve the broader igbo objective as much as Anioma state will.

potent5:
Shut up.

Will you shut up and go back to your dog kennel?
Who stepped on your tail,that you should start barking like a frustrated rabid dog?

javascript1901:
there are Yorubas outside SW region

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.

flokii:
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.

To me they goin logical way before you can push for refredum all the souther senators and rep must be equal with the North if we don't have that refredum might be a long way work

After creating the state, hope the state will not say they that have the wage bill to pay workers.

dbestcno:

chopnaira:

Same way a lot of North Delta people don't want Anioma to be in the SE. Goes both ways.
