Its Nyesom not "Nyesome". 3. which Rivers state "polytechnics" did Gov. wike name "on behalf" of JAJA? The only Rivers state Polytechnic I know was renamed by Gov. wike after KEN SARO wiwa.

I don't know why some of you find is so hard or even impossible to celebrate a leader without dragging another into the mud. I guess it's a reflection of your persona. #SHAME The great King is really inspiring, but he made the same mistake other kings of then made. They stood apart and eventually fell. The British intelligently knocked our heads against each other (divide and conquer) till we all fell. Morale of the story is "be warry of the white man", "your background has little to do with your future " " United we stand, divided we fall" KING JAJA reminds me of my Grand Father PA Agoroma And how grand indeed he was. 8 Likes |

I stopped reading after I saw he was born in IMO. This piece is a blatant distortion of history by those South eastern fanatics that always want to ascribe all the glory in Nigeria to themselves. Jaja of opobo was an indigen of one of the delta tribes. Any attempt by our "Nigeria Jews" to selfishly distort history will be flatly resisted. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

I'm just letting you all into this little secret...... My Aunt ( My Mum's elder sister ) was married to the Great-grandson of King Jaja of Opobo. My Aunt's husband was also named Jaja and he was very wealthy till he passed away around 1991 or thereabout. I can still remember the gift he bought for me on my 10th birthday. It was a great gift that I am still finding it hard to see something similar to it nowadays. Chief Jaja ( Aunt's husband ) had houses in Lagos and Opobo and was a high ranking official in the Nigerian Customs Service. That is all I am allowed to reveal to you. Cheers. 1 Like |

[color=#990000][/color]He helped the British to subdue his fellow Africans, the Ashanties, and the same British taught him some lessons in a hard way. This should be a lesson to everyone who are conniving with foreign powers against their country. 2 Likes |
