In 2003 the Nigerian Supreme Court held that Opobo is the personal property of King Jaja and his descendants. It was in the aftermath of a long battle with Ijaw elders who argued that the kingdom was the heritage of all Ijaw. And that any any Opoboan can aspire to rule the kingdom. It was a litigation that lasted for about 30 YEARS.

The Jaja foundation was quickly established King Dandeson Jaja, and Anyim Pius Anyim appointed the chairman.

The implication of all these is that the Jajas only can determine how they want to position their estate Opobo. The Jajas have a very strong affinity with their blood kindred at Amaigbo. They also relate quite well with Opobo subjects. It is just them that will decide.


That write up was made by Ibo.
Opobo is owned by Nkoro and Obolo Ijaws.

At Year ending,at times, Opobo people give drinks to Nkoro ijaw people till today.

I blame nnamdi kanu for all these insults given to the Igbo nation by these low life ijaw people, what can they match the igbos with sef, when he is supposed to gather all Igbo people together and give every Igbo clan a sense of belonging and worth, he is their fight to include traitors and cowards in his imaginary Biafra, I blame him for all these insult.
I agree with you. Imagine Ijaw that's not up to population of Onitsha insulting and denigrating Igbo race. Thunder fire ur left ear there Op. Be guided.

It's better u say that there are no Ijaws in Nigeria.
What we know is that Ijaw is far larger than Ibo in population.

The right of the people is to fully learn their mother tongue and throw away nonesense Igbo.
It's now being taken very serious on all their schools.
We will come and do same with Aminadokiari(Ndoki) Ijaws too.
Both Bonny, Opobo and Ndoki are all of the Ibani-Ijaw Subgroup.
Don't die of frustration. How is an average Igbo man bothered whether you stop Igbo language in Bonny and Opobo?? Why being boisterous about it?? U are just annoying.

Ijaw that's not up to size of Onitsha in population Lol. Igbo nation can't descend so low in begging Ijaw to be part of Biafra. If not Nnamdi Kanu bringing it up, in what area or scheme of things can Ijaw match Igbo?? U guys are minority fools and will remain so as far as I'm concerned.

Even Onitsha is owned by Benin people this is why Obi of Onitsha is not the highest King in Ibo land.
But plus Onitsha or minus Onitsha Ijaws are far larger than Igbo in population.

You think it's empty space we use and spread straight into 6 big States without other tribes entering our centre??
When Kogi state alone is 508 km² bigger than the 5 South East States put together.
And Anambra have Igala people in it Enugu have Idoma nd Igala in it, Abia have Aminadokiari Ijaws in it, Imo have Acculturated Egbema Ijaw people in it and Ebonyi have Cross River languages in it.


Only Egbema clan Balkanized into Edo nd Delta state among so many other Ijaws there with them, only Egbema clan have over 350 villages and settlements under it, and Ijaw have over 70 clans.

Ijaws are far larger than Igbo in population.

They are now teaching Ijaw in all the schools of all the towns in Bonny nd Opobo making it compulsory.
Soon the Igbo nonesense speaking will die out.
But isn't this evil?

If their language was ijaw , why do you now need to force it on them?
Obviously they are not ijaw. And that will not change.

If a white man did this to you, what would you call it?

How many times Benin take Ijaws of Edo to court over that Gelegelegbene town, and claim say them win.
But as we speak Ijaw naim dey Gelegelegbene and own it as their property, and live there.

Court dey work for land no be people way dey live there.

Why were those that took the Jajas to court not satisfied that they own their properties and live in Opobo?

Dingbats like you would never decipher the import of the court ruling. Ikot Abasi (Opobo) remains the family Estate of the Jajas. The Supreme Court has ruled. The history is well documented globally. It is not an issue of we vs them. Nuff said.

All Jaja children had Ijaw mothers nd Jaja named them all Ijaw names.
