VickyRotex:
Seriously? And those women were comfortable that way?

The tallest of the wives, the second standing from the right has a modern babe's body. Flat tummy, good bréãsts, tall, an hourglass shape; she could pass for a model.
King Jaja has eyes for good women.

Slave mentality!
The white man did not bring civilization, we have always had it, in those days,hardly was there crime,morality reigned hard.

The white maltreated your ancestors and put them into slavery.

Proudly African!

If she is pregnant with such figure, then she is the bomb.



Hope we are looking at the same woman....the tallest one.

No we weren't looking at d same pic. The tallest is 2nd from the left n not right. She got nice boobs.. des cucumber boobs.

Ishilove:
Why is it that 90% of the posters on this thread are men?

Men ehn, una no dey use eye see boobs. Una must vibrate. Mscheeeew.

Just the same way women eyes dey shine like policeman torchlight when dem see fat bank account and 7 inches pipe .

Women and money be like shiit and flies.

baby124:
Oh, Igbo women are naturally light skinned . I feel like mocking the tribalists today

This is a black and white picture. I have seen black/white picture where the igbo individual was described as being extremely lighskinned. Apparently,photographers have better things to do than focus on skin shades.

nwaanambra1:
wao! thats good to know. are they still among the ruling class in their region? are they still recognised as princes and princess in their region? where they able to maintain their great grand fathers wealth [back then king jaja was almost richer than the queen of england].

If not ur.... wld have been flat liike thiers

That's true. Our Igbo isn't mainstream but we hear other dialects.
And the Igbo we speak was formed because of the trade in Palm oil with the people of Ndoki and Azumini. We learnt the language because of trade.

The main language in Opobo is supposed to be Ibani which is akin to what is spoken by the Kalabari but Alas, almost everyone speaks our dialect of Igbo now.
However, a conscious effort is being made to bring back Ibani as a language understood and spoken by Opobians.

zendy:
Some people may not know it but King Jaja of Opobo was an Igbo slave from Orlu in present day Imo state who was sold into slavery. I read somewhere that they still speak some form of Igbo in Opobo.

Nice shot

The present Amanyanabo of Opobo is a direct descendant of King Jaja. He's the fifth person to seat on the throne. King Jaja was the first.

nwaanambra1:
where are his blood lineage today? do they still exist? or the British wiped them all out?

Not all Jajas are direct descendants of King Jaja. A lot of people who accompanied him on the trip to found Opobo took his surname as a sign of respect.

I think ladies are getting prettier




although, thanks to marykay for most ladies, but some few are naturally pretty, I mean very pretty.

BOWOTO:
And someone will say, black girls rock.

I am sorry but your statement screams ignorance. I wonder if you hold the same thought towards your family.

And those were the most classy chicks in his (king jaja's) time.

customized07:

These were the biggest girls those days.

Wondering how the girls of today will look in the next 100years

No igbo dialect is mainstream apart the ones adopted as central igbo dialects. There are opobians with igbo ancestry,i don't expect them to take up Ibani language.

Pangea:
King jaja was Igbo?

[color=#1980BC] Ofcourse yes,He was an igbo from our own river basin,how do you suppose he became a big chief middleman with exclusive european trading rights on firearms,firewhisky,slaves and palmoil?Only a strategic business thinker can have extensive contacts reaching deep into the igbo heartland down to the coast across different clans and trade routes up to the ports of Liverpool,Rotterdam,Southampton,Lisbon etc.Even to this day,his birthplace people and region are still in the business of supplyin 100% of Nigeria's palm oil need.
