- There have been recent agitations for state creation in Nigeria - of which Anioma has been taunted as one of the states to be created. This podcast is intended to call out well-meaning Ndokwa/Ukwuani people to come together in one accord on this issue of a new state creation out of the present Delta State.
The main people that need to be consulted on this issues are the South east. Why do i say so. This new state creation is to balance one of the injustices, unfairness and marginalisation against south east. Any creation of state is to make south east have 6th states like other region. So why should we the SE yield to udokwa and anioma ??? You guys should not think that we don't have options inside SE. We do. Adada state, Orlu state, ulasi state.. your brother Denis Osadebe have been fighting for this for years before he pass to our ancestors , dont mess it up now their is undeniable reasons for the new state. All of you in that region should come together and negotiate with south east not fighting among each other because of influence from the benins creating divisions among brothers. This new state if for your benefits not us in SE..
What is your problem? The man made a submission, and here you are attacking, and throwing unnecessary punches. Ndigbo, who did this to us? It's time we, the Igbos start to emulate the Yorubas for our greater good. Must we fight about everything? Issues can always be tabled, and resolution reached amicably. 🙏
@@oscarblackbone The only person that will tell you the truth, no matter how bad it may sound, its your brother. What i said is truth. If they think that they are doing us a favour, its a lie. We can't continue to begging for relationship with our brothers. nope! heaven will not fall. The new state is for their benefit. And south east holds the key to that dream. Never will SW and North agree for south south to have 7 States, never!! They will never support it. We'r not in military time, you need two 3rd of the Senate to create a state and South east and south south dont have the number.
The Igboid languages are struggling to get together with the South East for Igbos expansionism
Even if they create another two states in South East it will remain the size and population
Thank you
@@chukwuemekaIgba First who classified the relative dialects as igboid. These are actually the underlying issues here with the igbos and those who see themselves as igbos. If there ever is a classification to be done standard and accredited rules of engagement and consensus are involved. Not some amateur researcher running off to wikipedia or wherever to post his opinions and call it a standard reference. The ukwuani and ika dialects contain a plethora of distinguishable Benin words , when the ukwuani man says 'egugwe' the Benin says 'ugwe' to mean peanuts. How is such a dialect then conclusively an igboid dialect. POINTING FOR CORRECTION AND IN BOLD THE UKWUANI DIALECT IS NOT CONVERGENT WITH IGBO AND IS NOT AN IGBOID DIALECT. The case of the Anioma thing is the same. A 2 percent who see themselves as igbos , decide for the other 98 perecent and without consultations , groups literarily woke up to find out they had become part of an Anioma clamour for SE inclusivity!. It is so bothersome about the igbo man generally speaking and sorry to say especially among your leaders down to matters of identity. On the average members of your group behave like supremacists without the decency of consultation and dialogue and without addressing this the igbo man will keep running into issues with its neighbors. The Efik has never run off to classify the ibibio mans dialect as efikuoid or whatever. If there has to be a classification sighting heavy similarities then there should be some degree of consensus. Consensus not assumptions!
@@nduka_pats85-j6k Shame on you nduka. I challenge you to change your name to your Benin ancestry.
For your information, Efik is classified as an Ibibiod language because it is intelligible with Ibibio. The percentage is over 90% intelligibility.
Ndokwa/Ukwuani people are Igbos. They are another clan of the Igbo nation. I understand their dialect even when I've never stepped into Ukwuani territory. People like you can confinue to deceive yourself but time will confinue to diminish your unprogressive position.
Well my oga you have spoken very well and all kudos to you, well in my opinion, there is supposed to be a dialog on how you guys have to go about it, and you talked about all the different ethnic groups in edo state hiding their differences, well let me educate you little bro, am not from Delta State, and over here in Scandinavia which i had lived some years now, there are too many minorities of delta State like the Isoko, Urohobo, Ishekiri, Ijaws and others and i can tell you that within yourself you can talk or even believe that there are togetherness in Delta State as you described it here, but believe it or not there are nothing like that as you think and believe. Let me tell you, i have discarded lots of friends from Delta minorities of the ethnic groups i listed above here because i heard and seen them speaks of their high levels of hatred towards those of you from Ukwuani Kwale especially all those from Delta north, my reason of discarding those friends is that i come into conclusion that if these folks hated you people that sheared same State with them in such manner, they can easily harm me myself, Delta north is homogeneous but others are not homogeneous am 100% sure that you the maker of this video will never never feel comfortable in the midst of those you are referring as your fellow Deltans from those minorities ethnic groups i mentioned above, i am sure 100% that if you travel down here in diaspora, you will be seeking for closeness of people from Asaba, Enuani, Ikah and others that you are somehow related linguistically that i know for sure.
We are Ukwuani People and proud of our Ethnic Identity, a people of the old Midwest region and should not allow ourselves to be annexed into the SE in order not to be subsumed or subjugated by the SE people whose region is threatened by insecurities led by criminal Nnamdi Cownu, Simeon Ekpa and his ipob ganstars
I bu anuofia I swear ewu
@@charleschibuike6803 This is why we the Ukwuanis cannot and will not associate with your group beyond just being neighbours. I asked a younger cousin of mine about the idea of being together with your igbo group and though much younger about 14 years the response was expressly that 'they will not give anybody peace'. I really dont know about the IKAs and aniochas and those who have been on this Anioma state creation , definitely not the ukwuanis I hope they have done all their calculations right including possible movement into SE definitely not with the ukwuanis though. The Ukwuanis will remain in the south south. It is our beloved home. It is where we love and we in turn are loved and respected and nobody dares look into our face and call us a name our parents never gave us. It is where we are happy living communally with our other age long cousins. South south is our blessed homeland forever.
@@charleschibuike6803anugboko
You better relocate to edo state.
@@charleschibuike6803 Your papa... Come and collect Land na, we are waiting
This is not the time to be throwing punches at each other. Unity is the key word now. UNITY FOR GREATER GOOD
May thy Lord bless your boldness to speak out so that Ndokwa/Ukwuanni people men and women can speak loud boldly in one voice without fear to save themselves and future generations from slavery of Ndigbos. You have nothing in common with the southeast. It's your abundant oil and gas resources they are after because Ndokwa's sun has finally risen. So, stand firm and don't negotiate to trade off what your forebears suffered to preserved for you and future generations because they knew today will come. You don't need Ndigbos and note they are nothing but problems and propagandist. Don't be cajole by whatever narratives and conspiracy theories which has bearing to intimidate your people. Note you are the one with the ace card.
The SE people are looking for how to claim what belongs to us to become theirs. We are Ukwuani People are not ready to be part of the SE region
I Can see the pain of creating Anioma in you 😂go and hug transforma
You’re clearly an illiterate and uninformed of the various resources in the southeast. Imo state has the highest Gas reserves in Africa. Imo state has oil. Abia state has oil as well as Enugu and Ebony. Enugu has the largest Coal reserves. All 5 Eastern states have oil. Your small brain is clearly not able to understand these facts. All you Yoruba people know is your hate for the Igbos. You people continue to push false propaganda about the East want oil in Delta state. We have our oil and other resources.
We know their tricks, it’s already failed on arrival
You are the devil here, what is the meaning of Ndukwa and Ukwuani?
I need a longer and deeper video for this topic
what is the difference between Ndokwa and Anioma people are they not the same people? are you guys not igbos
why asking us again when your group always presents an answer before settling down to actually present the question?
I have lived in Delta State for over 10 years. Travelled to almost every community. There is nothing special about Delta North. It is just typical Igbo communities were people hold on to their clans. On a micro level, there are no Igbos. There are only Oka people, ngwa people, nsukka people, ika people. It is laughable to see igbos outside the east begin to claim this and that nation. If you are given a state and becomes part of both east, will an onitsha people become your governor?. Anioma is one of the oldest clamour for state in Nigeria led by Osadebe and then supported by Zik. It was supposed to include Onitsha. If you people prefer to be minority where you could be a major force, then your loss. Apart from Ebonyi that has high poverty rate, the rest of South east have the least poverty rate in the country. Asaba together is developing because of Onitsha overflow. Even with your claim to natural resources, the Ikas and Oshimili are more developed. It is human capital that brings development not just resources
My brother, some of the foolishness in that part of Igboland is shameful
I'm of the opinion that this is not the time for people to start throwing unnecessary punches at each other. This is time for unity, so that a greater good could be achieved. Let us emulate the Yorubas, for they are smarter in uniting themselves for bigger goals.
@@oscarblackbone well spoken...the people from that part of Nigeria always biker over less important issues. Whether the name is Anioma or not it shouldn't be a bone for contention
Oga where have been all this while???? Please leave this separation you are trying to create
I wish you well in your toothless struggle. Some of you thrive in creating confusion or ranchor where there is none with your warp sentiments. All the best while you are at it.
You have spoken well
Let them dialogue with Anioma people on how resources should be managed if Anioma State is created
We're one people
I'm happy for the clause in your message, you have not denied your people, but you have not done anything to question the North about the numerous gold deposits in their states that they have been enjoying alone, they have over the years survived depending on your oil deposits. The other day i came across an ouhrobo man complaining on the sharing formula if oil proceeds in Delta state, claiming his people should get more
Don't allow other tribes that stays together with their own people advice you to be in a disjointed relationship with your own people just because of envy. You have nothing in common with a Yoruba person compared to some one from the south east
confusion's everywhere in delta state ndukwa anioma ukwani are they not the same ? what is the problem with you people over there is it lack civilization or understanding, when anioma state comes wouldn't it bring development to everyone? they asked to join south east no because they have oil, forgotten that oil is The highest resources in the world but human beings, also south east has oil they don't even remember that it exists but they are prosperous , also gas in abundance so south east don't need anyone to prosper because they don't lack knowledge, rather blood is thicker than water that's why where ever you are great or small we need our brothers back, so ukwani and ndokwa should not deceive themselves we are not only calling them but fare beyond them even from outside Nigeria as long you speak Igbo any type you our brothers, it left for you to listen for God almighty has bless us already come and tap from the blessings you share prosper with your brothers,i come in peace
my position is that this issue be striked out. Firstly there is every element of disdain , disregard and suspicion to go to the south east behind our back and make a promise to them to annex ukwuanis to the south east and come back to dialogue with us after the fact with vague ,unclear and ambiguous undertones. It is an insult on the ukwuani nation as a whole to include us in an Anioma opting for inclusivity in the south east without hitherto being part of the Aniomas we know as an Anioma group who have been clamoring for a state in the south east for decades and without due consultations giving a false impression that Ukwuanis are clamouring for inclusivity in the south east overnight. Then you desire to go to the south east why not proceed alone but seek to go with the oil wells of the groups that have not been hitherto part of your south east inclusivity project or even interested ab initio. Further this is not all about state creation. Another layer in this matter is the egoistic brand of politics called expansionism played by groups as the igbo group and those in league with them the aniomas which does not endorse other peoples identity or image but seeks without due consent or opinion to impose its own image and identity on other groups on false terms of unity and oneness but actually on the basis of pure ego such as led to the recent face off between them and the ikwerres. The end game of expansionists is emasculation; have you jettison your identity and take up the identity of another man or another groups . in essence force an igbo identity into your gut weather you desire it or not for the satisfaction of the Igbo mans ego. An added complexity is that Ukwuani is not an homogenous igbo group like the south east igbo groups or the Aniomas who see themselves as such but a non homogenous multi lineage group and is therefore impossible to classify it as an Igbo group or give it an igbo tag. We trace our heritage and ancestry to several multi lineage clans inclusive of the ebohs, the whiteman called the abohs, the benins, the urhobo- itsokos, the igala-idahs , igbo groups down to the Ijaws arriving at various periods in our ethnogenesy. Thus we have the Oputes, the Ossisas, the Amedes , the Ufelis, the Elovies as foundational multilineage clans or families that established the ukwuani nation. Thus the dialect we speak is better described as a lingua franca dialect containing words , elements and morphemes from these multi lineage groups and is not an igbo dialect. @Sam Enudi it is therefore very easy to instigate an internal rancor if you seek to paint an homogenous igbo image of it when it is not or anything to suggest it like suggesting its inclusion in the south east. This is where this matter boils down to weather we want to face it or not. Our parents did not establish the ukwuani nation as an homogenous igbo nation but a non homogenous multilineage group. It is why from inception we have never been part of the south east not yesterday , not today and I can assure you not tomorrow ,but opted for the Midwest , then Bendel and now Delta state . Another non homogenous group is the ikwerre group that is why you cant tag them as Igbos. The Aniomas will not have this problem as they are more or less as homogenous as their south eastern counterparts but not the ukwuanis. I drop it here for now while I await others contribution
Animal,which Igbo wants to annex you???Lazy bone.
Hahahahaa........you are only one man...the bitter reality is your Ukwani elders and men people have to go to shall eventually and finally concede and agree to Anioma State and it will go to the South East if the whole State Creation plan pulls through.
You are only one man brother, complaining here on the comment section, that is how far your efforts will start and stop, this is the bitter reality, even if you don't embrace Anioma State many other Ukwuanis will when they start seeing the economic benefits of it, again brother your efforts against Anioma State will only start and stop at this comment section.
@@chimaezeenwerem5035 your opinion may likely proceed from a dream or fantasy that sharply contrasts with the present or eventual reality.
@@obinisol-kw4se you are only one voice amongst the Ukwani stock my brother, politics is very dynamic and ever changing, even your fellow Deltans such as Urhobo, Isoko you claim Ukwuani people have various lineages from want an Anioma State and want every inch of Igbo speaking territory in Delta to leave them so they can have Warri as their capital
If I run into your type in the US or Europe, you ll play your 'Igbo' identity card to gain favor. Hypocrite.
Why are ibo people so desperate? Leave others alone, they are not Ibo and have made it known.
You are a fool, you sound like a bastard who doesn't no his father
Who told you that they are not Igbo
I strongly appreciate and support your stand in this ugly situation where some of those people in Ika and some in Aniocha LGC areas are speaking on behalf of the indigenous and good people of Ndokwa/Ukwuani to join the creation of Anioma State as a part of the state in Southeast, Nigeria. It has always been observed that some of those from Ika and Aniocha LGC areas who find a way to represent the good people of Ndokwa/Ukwuani do not think and consider it necessary to consult neither do they regard our feelings, capacity, place and economic contributions in Delta State. It is important to state clearly that classifying all the people in Ndokwa/Ukwuani as Ibo speaking as the basis for them to join the Anioma State as part of the Southeast is not correct. For your information, there are Igala indigenes, Isokos, Urhobo, etc., in Ndokwa/Ukwuani LGC areas. OKWUDIKE OCHOLI
Why do you think you are special in this regard?. There are Igalas in Anam6. There are Ibibios in Abia State. If Anioma is created, will an outsider come and govern you?. If is foolish for Igbo speaking groups to be minorities everywhere whereas Fulanis who are just 6 million pulling their wait. Anioma State is a perfect state started by Zik and some Delta political stalwarts of old
What language is the name Ndokwa, Ukwuani and okwudike ocholi?
@@templekanu6740Ask yourself in anambra state. Has igala people who are in present day anambra rule as a governor of the state.
Ned is another problem in Delta , fight is coming dis the time to stop
Why is Ned the problem... can you tell us more
Ndoshimiri will go to Anioma state
Oya come and carry us to anambra. We are waiting for you to force us into the South East.
@@UkwuaniRecordswhat's your problem. The state haven't created,yet people are fighting. Inclusive doesn't mean you would leave your land to somewhere else. It left for your elders and leaders to decide. You don't know better than them
@@UkwuaniRecords who is disturbing you. Is Nede nwoko from the south east? Nobody is disturbing you. Talk to your senator honorable Nede nwoko,his the one who wants to include anioma state to the south east. who is disturbing you.mumu
@@UkwuaniRecords the south east doesn't need anioma for anything bro. The igbos are comfortable with their space bro. We are large in number already 50 million in population.whats your problem
Just listen to urself..oga look for something else to do jarre .
Isoko and Uhorbo is deceiving Ukwuani and Ndokwa people,I pity Ndokwa people because they are back ward in every thing
@@VincentOkeke-e3x WE PITY YOU IGBOS FOR TRYING TO DECIDE FOR UKWUANI SPEAKING PEOPLE OF THE NIGER DELTA.
ARE WE IN ANY AGREEMENT OR CONSULTATIONS?
Is creation of another state out of Delta state or southeast, one of the biggest problems bedeviling Ndokwa/Ukwuani ethnic nationality now, or they just want to be one of the ethnic groups in the country with their own state? I think we should pressure the political office holders in the state to deliver dividends of democracy to Deltans, which is lacking currently, and this is contain youths' restiveness. Besides, some of the states in country are nothing but glorified L.G.A. Are you not tired of the feeding bottle federalism we are practicing in Nigeria today? Sir, instead of creating more states that might not be viable, we should push for regional system of govt, I humbly submit.
The truth is that beneficiaries from these moves are politicians themselves with their eyes on royalties from oil wells etc and not really intended for a general good.
Oga you ended up saying nothing and sounding incoherent sir with your big big egoistic English.
What do you mean by Igbo expansionist..?
Show me a historical record of Igbo expansion to Anioma or any other région for that matter.
Amongst the 3 major tribes, the Igbos have been the ones who do not have the historical records of expansion.
Why leave substance to always chase shadows......and who told you Igbos are your problem or enemies or people to be antagonized or feared always?
You have bigger problems in your hands that may begin to manifest soonest if you do not listen to the voice of reason from senator Ned for the sake of your children.
The Urhobos, Ishekiris, Edo's and Ijaws are the ones who seek to expand to your territory using the anti-Igbo phobia to distract you.
If anything happens or a new wind of change comes to Nigeria tomorrow and the Igbos decides to keep only to themselves then you lots will understand that you have played yourselves into fire.
The present minorities in delta and Southsouth as a while will come after your territory....you already know as it goes in Warri presently.
Let's not even talk of the other big 2 tribes(Hausa&Yoruba) or even the Fulanis who are on a voilent conquest down south.
The Igbos are your brothers and are the fine line of defense and protection against all these.
You have more affinity &brotherhood towards the Igbos than any others....you lose the Igbos, you awake to a very terrible reality because even the Igbos are wiser now and already getting fed up of the constant denials and arm measurements with them.
Remember, oil will finish one day, the British will not always be there to sow discord, other parts of Nigeria have their own issues to contend with to even care about Anioma's true well being.
Learn from the mistakes of the southern Cameroon who left the Eastern region out of unfounded fear and are now going through terrors in the hands of the French and Cameroonian govt.
The Igbos are a big enough tribe and have nothing to lose if Anioma is not with them.....they have abundant and more of any resources found in Anioma today.
Igbos are your brothers not competitors.
@@obinisol-kw4se Men like Send. Ned has seen things and decides to act with wisdom and courage to align, protect and unity his people but some of you who are myopic and too woke will learn in no distant time in a harsh way.
You decide to dance around with the Nigeria inspired Igbo propaganda that hasn't stopped the progress of the Igbo nation.
Ain't you guys tired of fighting your brothers in the East to the amusement of others who will never see your as their own?
You are learned sir, put sentiments aside and think critically for the benefit of your people in a long run.
Study the Nigerian society objectively and learn.
One day the Igbos will recall all these denials and pay it back when you all will need them to stand up with/for you.
