[s]You mean British fictitious history of Jaja being an igbo man?
Anything you like call it. The whole world except you knows that Jaja was an Igbo Man.
Thank God you can't recreate the world.
Jaja descendants knows their origin.

That guys comment that Opobo is aligned to the igbos really pained you. It rubbishes your earlier claim that Opobo has no igbo linkage.
Thank God you are not from opobo

I don't care if Jaja was sold to exchange mirror [/s]



Attaché by force. So Amayanabo is an Ibo title?

King Jaja is the only popular thing about Opobo, I heard about him since I was 1 month old. �

Which Imo river was Ijaw enclave? You people that escorted the early portuguese from Togo to Igbo coast. Ordinary native cloth you don’t have. Everything about your origin reeks foreign. Even your dialect is the only language not related to any tribe in the south. Common Ogoni, Andoni and Ogbia are Cross-Riverian, but yours God knows where you got that from. Guess whom its related to — Ghana/Togo. An evidence that your origin is alien to our shores.

Can you show us any ancient artifact in your creeks? If you say you are indiginous to nigeria, why is it that only your tribe in the whole of Africa is landless? That is why you lots have made it a plan to steal people’s land. From Warri, Edo south, Akwa-Ibom south to Rivers state, your agenda had been landgrabbing with crook. Why remain in the coast if you were the first to arrive? At the right time, we’ll soon ask Ghanians/Togolese to come carry their migrant brothers back to their land.

You are stupid beyond comprehension!

Jaja was the amayanabo of Opobo. People from other cultures referred to him as King of Opobo.

The books referred to him as King Jaja because they could not properly use the Ijaw language. Jaja was the abbreviation of his actual name.

Due to the fact you Igbos never had a royal system makes it a challenge for people like you to understand how kings are named.

Do you think the queen of England has a single name and a single title?

That the amayanabo of Opobo was referred to as king Jaja of Opobo doesn't make him an English monarch. His contemporaries like the amayanabo of Nembe, Kalabari, Bonny, Okrika etc were all referred to as king in English writings. That did not stop them from being Ijaw monarchs.

Chief Eyamba of Calabar was referred to as Ironbar by British records. That did not change his ethnicity, status or identity.

In the whole of Nigeria the Igbo are the only ones the British had to create a system of governance for.

The culture of perpetual anarchy your forebears embraced is what make Igbos struggle with concept of constitutionalism or organised society till date. It is no coincidence your kinfolk are known for crime across the globe.

That Britain gave Igbos warrant chiefs shouldn't make you think others in Nigeria had to rely on Britain for the creation of their traditional institutions.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/why-we-dont-speak-igbo-at-our-meetings-ohanaeze/amp/

Enugu — The umbrella association of all Igbo cultural unions, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has given reasons for Igbo language not being spoken at Igbo gatherings by Ndigbo.


Former National Secretary of Ohanaeze, Professor Ben Nwabueze, SAN, who spoke, lamented that Ndigbo do not speak the Igbo language to themselves because most of them were promoting their various dialects instead of speaking the central Igbo. There are as many Igbo dialects as there are communities.

Nwabueze, who spoke at an Igbo language programme organized by the Igbo Youth Movement, IYM, for secondary school students in Enugu, said that Ohanaeze Ndigbo once decided that its meetings and activities would be conducted in Igbo, but this did not work because there were several Igbo dialects spoken in various parts of Igbo nation unlike Hausa or Yoruba which had acceptable central language.


“We once said at an Ohanaeze meeting that all our meetings would be conducted in Igbo because we realized that our language was dying, but this did not work. The first day we decided that we must speak Igbo in our meetings, the late governor of Anambra State, Chief C. C. Onoh spoke his own brand of WAWA Igbo.

“Onoh spoke at length and most people did not understand what he was saying. Every other person spoke his own dialect and at the end, nobody spoke Igbo again at Ohanaeze because none of us understood one another’s dialect,” he said.

You as a Nigerian even after 100 years of amalgamation you still can't spell it correctly!

For people like you who Britain gifted warrant chiefs anything presumed to be British or said by the British is law.

It is no surprise you want to impose English language on our traditional institutions in Ijawland.

The British mislabled traditional institutions in Northern Nigeria and other parts of Africa.

Even Jaja's correct name was never used by the British.

Amanayabo is not Ijaw, you clown. No Bayelsa or Delta Izon use it as a title. Pere is what you clowns call Kings before you began using Amanayabo. Name one Izon group that use Amanayabo? Amanayabo as a title was bore by the Ubani’s of Bonny before , then got to Kalabari through the Amakiri Igbo family before others copied it. It might also have Igbo origin if you look deep at the meaning.

Both Bonny and Opobo call their kings amayanabo and you stupidly try to spin it? It traditional title is commonly used across Ijawland but people like you are deliberately trying to distort facts.

You got warrant chiefs from Britain less than 150 years ago yet you want claim you established Ijaw royal institutions when those institutions are centuries older than Opobo you want to claim as Igboland.

Apart from Ijaws in Rivers many Ijaw outside Rivers also use the same traditional title.

Izon clowns from Bayelsa, Ondo and Delta call their Kings Pere. Only the political Ijaws whom you’ve forcefully dragged into your Izon nation (Such as Bonny, Opobo, Nembe, Kalabari) all of whose Kingship were of Igbo origin used Amanayabo as a title. The primitive Izon bushmen from your enclave use Pere. We can show you colonial documents of places in the old eastern region were Amanayabo was used, not by Ogogoro drinkers in your bush community.

Amanayabo is Igbo origin. The British wrote that the Kings of Bonny, Opobo and Kalabari were of Igbo origin. And these areas were the ones who call their Kings Amanayabo. I can show you evidence of their Igbo origin, not the bushmen who dwell in the creeks of Bayelsa and Delta.

In texts up till today. People still study "King Jaja of opobo" and nothing like amanayabo.

You will be confusing people if you try to change it in any text book to write "amanayabo Jaja of opobo"
The text book will not even sell. Only the writer will read it
