Anioma people are one of the Igbo subgroups in present day Delta State, Nigeria.
They encompass the communities which span across the 9 northeastern Local Government Areas of Delta State. They occupy the Delta North Senatorial District, which consists of the Enuani (Oshimili/ Aniocha), and Ukwuani/ Ndokwa and Ika geographical and linguistic zones of Delta State.
Anioma means "Good Land" in the Igbo language, and it is an acronym derived from the Local Government in Delta North district namely Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili, however "MA" is added to give the acronym meaning and wholeness.
An ancient and industrious nation, Anioma is estimated to have a total population of approximately 1.8 million people.[1][2] The largest Anioma settlement and urban area is the Delta State Capital Territory which incorporates the city of Asaba along the Niger, with Okpanam and Igbuzor and surrounding communities.
