ALL IGBO STATES ARE ONE - MAZI IYERIOBA BIAFRA

ONE FAMILY, ONE BLOOD, AND ONE PEOPLE, KA MGBE ERI.

"Segregation of our people started from the Colonial Masters"

ABIA, ANAMBRA, IMO, ENUGU, EBONYI: WE ALL ARE ONE

The name Anambra State was created on 3rd February, 1976.

Abia State was created on 27th August, 1991.

All igbos started from Omambara, we answer Ezumezu Omambara which means 
"Ndi Igbo nile".

Enugu State was created on 27th August, 1991 from the Old Anambra State. Don't misunderstand Enugu City for state. Enugu (city) was the capital city of the Old Anambra State. Therefore the name Enugu had been as a city even before it was named after Enugu State.

Ebonyi State was created on October 1st 1996, from Abia State and Enugu State. 
Imo State was created on 3rd February, 1976.

This is to say that before 3rd February 1976, there were no Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi or Imo States. When the whites came here, they saw all of us as Ndi Igbo not as different people from different States. The same people that shared the same common values, style of dressing, same rites or rituals in marriage and in birth and one common language Igbo or Igbo Izugbe etc.

Anybody who sees himself as an Abian today was an Imo person before 27th August 1991, anybody who sees himself as an Ebonyian today was an Abian or Enugu person before 1st of October 1996, anybody who sees himself as an Enugu today was from Anambra before 27th August 1991.

Abians are claiming Abians are one, Anambrarians are claiming Anambra is one, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo the same. We now look at our unity in terms of states instead of Ndi Igbo as one. Some say, I can't marry from Abia or Imo, Enugu people are like this or that, I don't like Anambra people, Ebonyi is not good, and so on and so fault.

Let me remind you that tomorrow, another state might be carved out from Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi or Imo. How would you now look at the same Abian, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi or Imo that you once saw as your brothers and sisters based on State?

Let me summarize by saying that “Igbo nile bu ofu”, no matter what state you come from "all Ndi Igbo are one". We all must have a change of mindset to advance the affairs of Ndi Igbo.

Before the white people came we were one people, and we are still one people, we are (“Biafrans” “Ndi Igbo” “Ndi Gboo” ka mgbe Eri). So you have no reason to hate anyone from any state.

We don't know anything about states before the Colonial Masters "ndi uchu ndi ara".

Igbo niile na uwa nile bu ofu, we are one people.

Only BIAFRA is our last hope. 
Udo diri unu.
