UNITED IGBO ELDERS COUNCIL
(UNIEC) WORLDWIDE.
JOURNEY TO ANIOMA STATE
From Anioma Stakeholders Summit, Asaba, 31st August, 2024.
TO
Igbo Elders And Stakeholders Mega Summit, Enugu, December 2024.
The Igbo are indigenous and aboriginal in 13 contiguous States of Nigeria, as follows:
- Abia State
- Akwa Ibom State
- Anambra State
- Bayelsa State
- Benue State
- Cross River State
- Delta State
- Ebonyi State
- Edo State
- Enugu State
- Imo State
- Kogi State
- Rivers State.
As parts of the genocide against the Igbo people between 1966-1970, the then Head of State of Nigeria, General Yakubu Gowon, (Rtd) balkanized the survived ethnic nationality into bits and pieces.
He scattered them into various States just to achieve politically weak and ineffective entities to be eternally suppressed, cruelly assimilated, marginalized, exploited, impoverished and divided-and-ruled, unfortunately, many Igbo people denied their kinsmen just to save their lives, properties and communities.
The Igbo national leaders have had enough of this systematic divide and rule conspiracy against the Igbo people as an ethnic nationality and decided that NOW is the right time to put a stop to these actions of man’s inhumanity to fellow men.
Ndigbo must do everything necessary to make sure that all indigenous Igbos in whatever States of the Federation are extracted from every domain of victimization and returned to their kith and kin sanguinary of unity; thus, the binding forces as enshrined in the natural maxim that “Igbo bu otu” and “igwebuike” that existed since the cradle of creation must be revived and sustained.
As a matter of importance, Ndigbo must break the yokes of disunity implanted from outside using various betrayals, saboteurs and traitors inside us, and restore the unbreakable bonds of yesteryears to MAKE IGBO STRONG AGAIN (MISA), MEE IGBO NDIIKE OZO (MIDO). This is one important reason for an equivocal supporting of the quest for the creation of Anioma State. Our Anioma brothers and sisters need freedom from poverty, injustice and marginalization.
The Igbo race was the most united race in Nigeria before the coming and invading of the people by the colonial masters and unleashing of genocide by subsequent Nigerian leaders. Obviously, history and posterity have beckoned on the need for the restoration of the ethnic group brotherly love and unity of purpose. This is pertinent as the group is faced with the emerging new threats to the very survival of Nigeria’s ethnic nationality civilizations. Based on the aforementioned realities, it has become important for; Every Igbo To Join The Clarion Movement For The Creation Of Anioma State! Hence:
