The name Jaja (Jubo jubo) is it your language

First, Opobo was derived from Opubo (Jaja's Master who was the perekule and Natural ruler of Ibani (Bonny)
Hence Opubo-Ama was called Opobo by the europeans.

In Ibani Kingdoms we have a culture that allows even free slaves to grow unlike the igbo culture where they practice Osu.
Opobo was formed by the supporters of Anna Pepple group of house and their allies after the lost the bonny civil war to the rival manilla pepple group.

They moved eastward and established Opubo which was named after their master in bonny.

Jaja is now used as a group name. It is just one section of the 14 sections in Opobo. others are Cookey, kalamuso, fubara, ogbulu,Kieprima, tolofari, Dappa, Biriye, iruoanya etc. The truth is that there is a signicant number of igbo settlers in Opobo, even the ibibios and ogonis are not left out. the retained the ibani-ijaw heritage and culture. that is why we dont have Eze but Amanyanagbo, Nze but Wari senibo and Amaopu senibo.
But every other person have been encultured in iguana, the ibani deity. The also become ijaws by enculturation. Yes, in most writeups Jaja is often recognized as the owner of the town but in reality he was just a leader of the break away group from bonny.
Cut the story short my friend, as long as opobo is concerned Jaja is the founder and King nothing more


And correction OSU is not slavery, igbos had slaves too and igbos treated their slaves like none slaves, igbo slaves were allowed to have properties and their own slaves

Do Non Natives own 93% of Port Harcourt Land on Freehold like before the War ?

Why do you think the Natives of Port Harcourt fought so hard to have their own State ,it was because it was the instrument of Govt that Azikiwe as Premier of the Eastern Region had used to Forcefully take their Land away for Govt Projects only to redistribute their Lands to his Kinsmen ,Friends and Family

All Land in Rivers State is now held in Trust for the People by the State Government what happened before the War cannot happen again by Gods Grace

That is also why Buhari is unable to force Ruga Settlements on any State, or turn your own Hometown into a Ruga Settlement the Land belongs to the People of the State and the Constitution prevents people from being permanently disposed of their Ancestral Lands

Land can be leased for 99 years but People cannot be dispossessed of their Ancestral Lands otherwise the bigger Ethnic groups would use their Political and Financial Power to disposes the Smaller Ethnic groups of their inherited Ancestral Lands and that you will agree will be a recipe for the type of instability that led to Adaka Boro’s Niger Delta Republic insurrection of February 1966
Nothing has changed portarcourt was made up of 90% igbos who are indigenous to the area and those who migrated from the core igbos from across the Niger, the only change now is the indigenous igbos in portarcourt have a national identity that identifies them as a separate ethnic group from igbos, portarcourt belongs to the ikwerre whom were counted as igbos , it is same thing now the only reason the ikwerre keep winning election is because igbos who migrate there see them as igbos and vote them to win

The Truth can be very Bitter sometimes

I understand

Ask the Port Harcourt Natives if the History isn’t true then report back

Ojukwu went even further and massacred the Port Harcourt Elites ,some he deported into refugee Camps in the South East where many died

But that is Past now and Nigerians have moved on


May Victoria Ironsi RIP
She saw it all and Survived
I asked you a simple question you couldn't answer, you said it's not in the culture of portarcourt natives to sell their lands they were forced by zik to sell it to igbos, who forced them to resell lands to igbos after the war? grin right now igbos own more properties in portarcourt more than the so called natives who forced them grin

You know how greedy Nigerians can get

The remaining 7% of the Port Harcourt Land might have been a hopelessly Waterlogged Swamp that they gave up on and decided to leave for the Natives

Ok, so because some people don't get justice from the courts, they should stop going to the courts to seek justice and start taking laws into their hands? As per the rest of your comment, I thought you guys were screaming everywhere that UK would sanction the Nigerian government and probably invade Nigeria to rescue MNK, what the hell are you saying again?
You folks have this character of forming i-too-know until you find yourselves in trouble.
So people should sit and get killed then go to court just to get killed again and again? What happens to self defense?

I thought you all were also screaming that FG will petition the UK and they will willingly capture nnamdi KANU and hand him over to Nigerian government themselves, why cut corners and kidnap him in Kenya? For that singular act shows Nigeria is weak and will do nothing to nnamdi KANU

On freehold O !
Not on leasehold that would have returned the land to the Natives after 100 years.

Today Port Harcourt Land can only be bought on a 99 years leasehold and the State Government holds the land in trust for its people it can revoke the C of O of any Land that is Problematic

I'm still waiting for answers, who forced portarcout natives to resell lands to igbos after the war, cause the lands and properties igbos have in portarcout now is more than what they had before the war, do you know the founder of Omega power ministry from Abia state, has lands in portarcout that the so called natives will only dream of?

You are a bloody liar, [b]Yoruba have more natural lightskin than Ibos, [/b]they have more Eurasian features than Ibos. Mistake lightskin yoruba make is that they use bad creams to whiten up their light skins. Yoruba are naturally more beautiful than igbos. Every miss Nigeria before the adverse of bleaching, nudity and sleeping with organisers, Yoruba have won more than 70 percent. Its hard for them to win it now because they have morals to compete with Ibos who don't care at all.

Most slim lightskin are not even igbos, they are mostly igala or south south.

You don't have a Clue don't you?

How do you think Azikiwe managed to pay for all the Land he acquired by force from the Natives of Port Harcourt under the Cover of the Eastern Region Govt only to redistribute the Land to his Kinsmen, Family and Friends

By the time the Civil War Began only 7% of Port Harcourt was in the Hands of the Natives
Azikiwe had used force to acquire the rest because the Natives of Port Harcourt almost never Sold their Land it was against their Culture
My friend stop the fiction, no body forced anyone to sell lands to the igbos, who are these portarcout natives you talk about? British Nigeria was answering to great Britain , and the so called portarcout natives didn't take the case to court?
Right now igbos have properties in portarcout same way they did before the war, who forced the so called natives to sell lands to igbos after the war?


These is where Nigerian political problems started

Operation Wet ẹ (: wet him/her) was a violent protest that took place in Western Nigeria between violent political factions, the Hausa-Fulani natives and some members of the Nigerian National Democratic Party during the First Republic which eventually led to the first military coup in Nigeria on 15 January 1966.

The term "Operation Wet ẹ" was coined from the setting ablaze of politicians and their properties with petrol, with many victims of the political violence killed by "necklacing." During the early 1960s, violence was on a rapid rise in the political system of Nigeria which led to the introduction of Operation Wetie whereby political gangs were used to disrupt elections.

Operation Wet ẹ was significantly used in 1962 when Chief Ladoke Akintola and Chief Obafemi Awolowo were embroiled in a protracted crisis thus leading to a high rate of violence and acts of lawlessness with law makers engaging themselves in vicious physical combats in the Western regional

The top bleaching tribe is igbo. They have perfected the act of bleaching for decades that you can't even detect it. Look at whitemoney for example dude abused whitening creams yet you won't suspect if you didn't see throwback pic. I love my black and brown skin, that is why I didn't bleach it. Whitemonkey would have look like a man ape without his bleaching cream.
Igbos are known for their light skins everyone knows that, they were called red ebo by the slave masters who sold slaves to North America and the Caribbean it's not knew


Yoruba's are the ones known for bleaching, bleaching cream chemical sells like food in yoruba land even in yoruba villages you will see farmers bleaching their skins
