Anioma people of Delta State: O No Igbo Igbo
The enigma surrounding the ancestry of Anioma people have reached their peak in the Igbo with claims and counterclaims. Igbo historians as arguments to defend their claims and counterclaims people Anioma accessories to any ethnic group in the country, this article will discuss such claims and counterclaims.
The Anioma people are geographically located in the Delta State of Nigeria, although some their communities are in other states like Edo, Anambra, Imo and Rivers. The word "Anioma" is an invention and not a name, as several historians deceptively understand and are made by the chief Dennis Osadebe.
The story of the turmoil in the region to create their own state within the Republic Federal Nigeria, was launched in 1954 and prior to the emergence of Nigerian nationality. However, it is an agitation that has been a monumental failure that political observers country on the link to the marginalization of the Igbo. The people as was the announcement of Asaba as the capital of Delta State in 1990, which drew condemnation from the people of the Niger Delta.
Anioma's story presents a source of a people immersed in the crisis of ethnic identity that people say is calculated from the outside to rewrite the history of the region. As people hinge their argument on their geographic location south-south, strongly arguing that they are an ethnic group distinct, separate and independent from the Igbo, the Igbo argue that Anioma are of Igbo ancestry.
The argument is a hate Anioma listen and argue that they are of mixed origin. In other words, communities that make up different Anioma shared ancestry, history and origin, while the Igbo language is intelligible to each community that shapes the region. They further argue that more than 13 languages are spoken in the region that includes Enuani, Ukwani, Edo, Ika Olukunmi (an ancient and extinct Yoruba language) Igarra, etc. The people of the state Aboh also that only some of the communities that make up the region, ibus, Ogwashi-Uku parts, parts of Asaba, parts of Ejeme, Oko that trace their origin to the Igbo of the southeast. The Ibuse are Isu and Nri, Ogwashi-Uku parts are of particular Ejeme NRI and owe their ancestry to Ibuse.
Also should be stressed from the point of view of experts is that the Anioma Anioma that before the arrival of the British one faith extends to states outside the Delta region. Onich-Ado (Onitsha) in Anambra are Anioma. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe Anioma recognized ancestry in his autobiography "My Odyssey". The Obosi Ogbaru and are also a Anioma part. In Imo State, are the people who speak the language Oguta Ukwani. In the state of Edo, the town's history is well known Igbanke. The participation currently Igbanke the Nigerian state for inclusion in the proposed Anioma State. The Balkanization of the people by the British after they lost the wars imperialism Ekwumekwu Britain is also well known.
What is the opinion of the sons and daughters who never acted Anioma of their biggest mistakes when in 1954 they decided to join under the umbrella of Anioma. The uniqueness, the special economic and cultural homogeneity, similar lifestyle of people who might have motivated the elders of the region to identify themselves as a family within the ethnicity of Anioma. In order to strengthen its argument, the agitation for the implementation of Anioma State has been in force for more 50 years and counting.
They further argue that the Igbo is a language and an ethnic group like the English concerns the nationality of a group of people as well as a language. Americans have seemingly been or are, in fact, lose their native language does not mean that Americans are of English nationality. Many English men and women may have migrated to the new world but still has no U.S. English nation today. Today's English nationality refers only to the people of England. The Itsekiri ethnic group in Nigeria has a similar example. Itsekiri today is a foundation Yoruba and Edo. The first Yoruba migrated to the region called Ode-Itsekiri, later followed by Ginuwa, a fugitive from the Edo period. The Itsekiri are now opposed to the Yorubas and Edo even though their languages are all similar. The Urhobo ethnic group owes its origin to the Edo period, but is now seen as distinct from Edo. From history, the Iranians were never the Egyptians, until it became Arabized at some point in their history.
For the Igbo, the Anioma is still part of Igbo land as seen in the history of Igbo available online. Is your argument that the loss of Nigeria's civil war ended in 1970 led to the denial of the Anioma Igbo descent ikwerre and people of Rivers State. Network writers in Igbo history say that the election of Ambassador Ralph Uwechue, a born diplomat Anioma as leader Ohaneze Ndigbo, a Pan-Igbo social organization is a pointer to the Igbo race belong to the Igbo. They assert that this brought to recover people lost in the Civil War an argument Anioma people have made up with prominent Indian Anioma not change their lands and to renounce Uwechue one on a car of interest to search the mission rather than the advice to assist their mental strength to the people through-Anioma Ogani, Izu-Anioma Anioma and other social organizations.
In all, the Igbo and Anioma have agreed that the creation of Anioma state is by giving people an opportunity to grow within the Federal Republic of Nigeria. However, it expects that the creation of this state for the people will help end the crisis of ethnic identity for the people.

Race and Difference $26.73 The Palgrave Psychotherapy Series is aimed at introducing key concepts in the practice and theory of psychotherapy to students, trainees and practitioners. This important addition to the series explores the popular topic of race and racism, and its consideration within the realm of difference issues across the therapeutic approaches. Whilst providing a much-needed critical overview of the therapeutic literature on race and cultural difference, M.Fakhry Davids also takes the bolder step of presenting a new clinically based model of racism in the mind and demonstrates how this may help practitioners to recognise and deal with such issues as they arise in the consulting room. |
