The place known as Port Harcourt today was originally formed from land purchased from the Okrika and Ikwerre people, present day ph has outgrown this original areas, it will be wrong to call Ph, Iguocha which is the name Ikwerre call their part of the land, ipob in a means to landgrab the most viable city in Nigeria after Lagos call ph and sometimes the entire Rivers State igweocha |

pazienza:Opobo is not any ancestral estate its a kingdom of Ibani people from the Opubo family headed by an Amanyanabo & Alaapu council, that is why the name is Opubo ama or anglicized as Opobo, Back to our bini prince Ezechima was Benin because he was a Benin prince and founded Onitsha n'Edo, he didn't return to "igbo land" because he was a Benin Prince and only left Benin like many other princes to establish a territory of their own, he wasn't born in Igbo land, his father wasn't an Igbo man, his hometown was in Benin, he wasn't a slave, an adopted child or even a business man and he descendants like Great Zik & The Obi(Oba) still point towards home(Benin) when talking about their history, Onitsha history can't begin without talking of the Benin Prince Now to the numerous cases of non igbo People who are not igbo, like the Akrika, Ibeme people whose indigenous language is the Annang/Ibibio or the Arochukwu, Abriba people who speak Ibibio like there lives depend on it, or Nkanu people of Idoma ancestry or Ndoki people & towns of Ijaw ancestry like Paul Taribo & Okoloama, Osubie etc |

pazienza:Not that it matters because Jaja was an acculturated Ibani citizen, if he wasn't adopted he would have been sold along many igbos to the British, Jaja sam Annie pepple didn't find Opobo, Opobo location was found by the Chief he succeeded (Iloli) during the war between Bonny and Andoni, which they all agreed would be their next destination, when they lost out to the rival Oko Jumbo house the entire Opubo group(comprising of 15 chiefs including Jaja Sam Annie Pepple) left to found Opobo that is why the name of the kingdom is Opubo ama. Jaja was a great man but I always wonder why the same Igbos who sold him feel they can use it to spite Ijaws, Ezechima is also well known amongst other formerly non-igbo people, he wasn't a slave or an adopted child he was described as a young man from Bini, so if claim Jaja was an Igbo man from amaigbo despite bearing an Ijaw name why can't ezechima a man described as an edo prince(not a slave or an adopted child) be a Benin, If everyone from amaigbo was igbo, then everyone from Benin is Edo 1 Like |

pazienza: continued to belabor my grandmother to tell me more of the history and origins of the Onitsha people. She narrated that many many years ago, there lived at Idu (Benin) a great Oba who had many children. Due to a power struggle regarding the right of precedence among princes of the blood and other altercations, there was a civil war in Benin. One day, the supporters of one of the princes insulted and assaulted Queen Asije, the mother of of the Oba of Benin, who was accused of having trespassed on their farmland. Enraged at this evidence of indiscipline and lawlessness, the Oba ordered his war chief and brother, Gbunwala Asije to apprehend and punish the insurgents. In the attempt to penalise them, Chima, the ultimate founder of the Onitsha city-state, a prince of the blood in his own right, led the recalcitrants against his Uncle, Gbunwala. This intensified the civil war which rent the kingdom of Benin in two and led to the founding of Onitsha Ado N'Idu |

pazienza: From onitsha to ile ife, hmm History of Onitsha According to - Nnamdi Azikiwe- Prior to Nigerian independence in 1960 they were known not to have kings except perhaps for the Obi (from Oba: king) of Onitsha, hence the common saying: "Ibo enwero eze" (the Igbo has no king). Individual towns, clans and families see themselves as independent as they are very clannish. They are also known to look down on other peoples, hardly integrating with their hosts though also feigning friendliness. Not surprisingly foreigners see little motivation in investing and residing in their homeland. Indeed the name of one of their most prominent settlements, Onitsha, is said to be derived from Onini (to despise) and Ncha (others), meaning "one who despises others." Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, former Nigerian president and Igbo leader, even described the attitude as supercilious. Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Genealogy and Nativity "Thus, in tracing my paternal lineage, I could say that both parents of my father are direct descendants of Eze Chima. As for me, I can trace my paternal ancestry in this wise: I am the first son of Chukwuemeka, who was the third child and first son of Azikiwe, who was the second son of Molokwu, who was the third son of Ozomaocha, who was the second son of Inosi Onira, who was the fourth son of Dei, the second son of Eze Chima, the founder of Onitsha." SOURCE - Nnamdi A zikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) "My Genealogy and Nativity" p4 http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/main-square/75723-meaning-history-onitsha.html "I can trace my maternal ancestry thus: I am the first son of Nwanonaku Rachel Chinwe Ogbenyeanu (Aghadiuno)Azikiwe, who was third daughter of Aghadiuno Ajie, the fifth son of Onowu Agbani, first daughter of Obi Udokwu, the son who descended from five Kings of Onitsha. Five of these rulers of Onitsha were direct lineal descendants of Eze Chima, who led his warrior adventurers when they left Benin to establish the Onitsha city state in about 1748 AD. " SOURCE - Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) "My Genealogy and Nativity" p5 "One day I asked her (grandmother) the meaning of the word 'Onitsha'. She explained that it had historical significance. The terminology meant one who despised another. It is a contraction of two words, Onini to despise, and Ncha meaning others. So that the two words when joined together mean one who despises others. Then I asked her why we despised others. She patted me on the back and told me that it was due to our aristocratic background and tradition. I insisted that she should explain to me the basis of this supercilious social attitude. She told me that we despised others because we descended from the Royal House of Benin and so regarded ourselves as the superiors of other tribes who had no royal blood in their veins, " "I continued to belabor my grandmother to tell me more of the history and origins of the Onitsha people. She narrated that many many years ago, there lived at Idu (Benin) a great Oba who had many children. Due to a power struggle regarding the right of precedence among princes of the blood and other altercations, there was a civil war in Benin. One day, the supporters of one of the princes insulted and assaulted Queen Asije, the mother of of the Oba of Benin, who was accused of having trespassed on their farmland.

This intensified the civil war which rent the kingdom of Benin in two and led to the founding of Onitsha Ado N'Idu, , " "As the great trek from Benin progressed, some did not have the stout heart of the pioneer-warrior, and decided to settle at different places, known today as Onitsha -Ugbo, Onitsha-Olona, Onitsha-Mili, Obior That's onitsha history from the great zik of Africa and not just anybody on nairaland 1 Like 1 Share |

pazienza:I'm not here to trade words with you, for every stereotype you hold about the Izon otu there are 10 well known the igbos have, popular even amongst non-nigerians like the Malays. The current Amanyanabo of Opobo isn't of any igbo ancestry he's the grandson of King Mac pepple, Jaja himself was of the adopted son of king Opubo so he had every right to the throne by virtue of his Ibani citizenship, those days things were not looked at with the tribalism, and every tribe in Nigeria is made up people from different places For example Onitsha ( Adu N'idu) was found by immigrant settlers from benin so the obi(Oba) of Onitsha the only known royal figure in the whole igbo land is of Bini Ancestry Ado N’Idu. He still holds the bini sword and dresses like the bini prince he is, so the only known royal figure in Igbo land in a Bini prince, and we have not even discussed Arochukwu, Abriba, the ibibio speaking Akrika ppl , ndoki people who are of non igbo ancestry or the "delta-igbo" ppl sef, the nkanu ppl of Idoma ancestry, 70% of igbo kings are of non-igbo ancestry Yes! No one know those other kings of Ijaw there. They were only there courtesy of GEJ Provide the names of chancellors under Obj, Yaradua, Gej, Buhari let me know which president should have had the courtesy
