Fast-forward 2025. Nigeria has been divided along the current six Geo-political zones as autonomous nations. The instrument of mutual balkanization provides that any state desiring to opt out of her zone and join a contiguous zone may do so by referendum.The instrument was executed in 2020.
By 2024, ANIOMA people felt very marginalized in the South South Nation they now belong. They want out. But Anioma is not a state. The instrument of mutual balkanization did not provide for ethnic groups.
While one
group of ANIOMA's indigens assert that they are ethnic Igbo of NRI ancestry and
would want to join their brethren in the South East Nation, another group claim
Bini, or Yoruba, or Igala ancestry.
Things came to a head in 2025 when ANIOMA traditional rulers, mostly of NRI ancestry, met and signed a unilateral declaration of independence. The South South Nation arrested and detained all the ANIOMA traditional rulers that signed the instrument of unilateral declaration of independence.

Crises erupts!
Will the South East Nation standby and watch or will they join their kith and kin across the Niger in their quest for independence for ANIOMA STATE? Will those ANIOMAs who claim other ancestry reject and resist the move?
