Jaja was an Arochukwu man who ruled Opobo & Bonny (modern day PH & Bayelsa).

I believe this settles those foolish Afonjas saying Igbos want to steal ND. Niger Delta belongs to Igbos just like Lagos!
jaja never ruled bonny

He tried to resist the imperial/colonial high handedness and the pilfering natives resources to enrich and develop European industries at the start of the industrial age.

He had nonopoly/controlled of the Palm Oil market which the colonialist detested particularly the Royal Nigerian Company a British chartered company.

He was said to be one of the richest African of that Era and an astute businessman which the imperialist found baffling.

He was also one of the earliest African who saw through the heart of the wicked white man...so he resisted them and they didn't like "him".

He was indeed a great man.

I don't know why history is not thought in Nigerian school.

How do we discover ourself when we don't know where we are coming from...
he exported palm oil directly to Liverpool cutting of the British middle men...he is known in Barbados and celebrated in Barbados. King jaja of Opobo is a very important figure in Nigeria history.

Both belonged to the Ijaw till today

Jaja was a former Igbo Slave of the Anna Pepple Ijaw house who rose to become the King of Opobo
Anna Pepple is still Igbo house. Pepple himself is Igbo. Pepple was given the name by the English sailors because he traded in Pepper. Jugbo-Jugbo is Jaja’s Bonny name with Ndoki origin. It's was given to him at Ndoki before he was taken to Bonny.

Anna People House was never Ijaw.
Liars.
Everything about Jaja was Igbo. Both the buyer and the seller.
The seller was from Oguta and the buyer Anna Pepple was also Igbo.
Read towards the end of the report from the British slave trader Captain Hugh Crow of Liverpool that witnessed everything.

I quote "The King of the new Calabar, in the neighbourhood, and PEPPLE, King of Bonny, were both Eboe"
You’re right. New Calabar is Kalabari which was led by Amakiri (Amachree) another King with Igbo origin. Pepple, the King of Bonny got his name from Pepper. Pepper in a British journal I read online explained his Igbo origin as well as that of his People to a Journalist.

The aim of this evidence to to burst the lies that Pepple went by the fraudulent Ijaw name Perekule. Bonny indigenes were the first Nigerians to live as citizens in England. King Pepple was even brought up in England and was given princely respect by the whites.

He owned only Opobo. His Igbo descendants still own it. And in fact the Supreme court scuttled the Ijaw effort to criminally take over Opobo from the Jajas

Ndoki Igbos own Ubani, which is why the name of the town has an Igbo meaning only. It doesn't have any Ijaw meaning both Ubani and Ibani/Ebani

Bless you, educate the illiterate Yorubas and Hausas here, I won't talk about the Fulanis because those animals are not Nigerians.

Wow. Why was he exiled in the first place?

Modified- screw the white power.
Just like how america and Britain abandoned Afghanistan after they've justified spending "war budget" and obviously, made x10 profits from their initial "investment" in afghan.

Just like how the Royal niger company destabilized the giant of Africa after sucking it dry and,and still sucking it. They also brought two politicians who hate eachother (lord lugard and lord I've forgotten his name) to rule over the south and northern protectorate of Nigeria. It was all about politics and what they stand to gain in the name of the queen. This also goes to our kinsmen that we're backstabbers, sellouts, ffuck them in their graves.
Everyone just keeps taking and taking from Africa. Down to all our military rulers, yakubu Gowon and the cement armada, 47$million dollars in gains, that's in the 70's. That's one of the numerous white whale projects. Down to the civilian rule. The shit hole keeps getting shiitier. I've successfully derailed the thread so, welcome to Alcatraz!

Our problem now is not the British colonialist; it’s these blood-sucking politicians who are so adamant in making us all suffer for their gluttony.

Look at Abia state. The present ruler is inept. The two previous ones were so competent in looting all meant for the poor citizens. You see them at every high-profile birthday/wedding bash, grinning in comfort.

Jaja, the Igbo man that gave the minority Ijaw savages their only known piece of historical significance, and what we get in return from the sewage rats who are immigrants from Ghana is nothing short of ingratitude.

He doesn't own Bonny. On the contrary he was a dedicated slave to the king of Bonny who later rose to prominence.

Secondly, he wasn't the only one that left Bonny to form present day Opobo. He was only lucky to have been made the first king. Today, his lineage through the supreme court have commandered the kingship to themselves which ought not to be so.

Igbo people always claiming everybody while everyone else denies them. If you ask the Bonny and Opobo people, they'll tell you another thing.
Y'all should be contented with your 5 states in peace without having to cause a scene online na.
Always famzing with people that careless about your assumed history.
