King Jugbo Jugbo (Jaja) of Ibani kingdom of Opobo lived while in exile in Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines between 1888 and 1891. The plaque by the side of the gate of the house confirms it.

Wow. Why was he exiled in the first place?

Modified- screw the white power.
Just like how america and Britain abandoned Afghanistan after they've justified spending "war budget" and obviously, made x10 profits from their initial "investment" in afghan.

Just like how the Royal niger company destabilized the giant of Africa after sucking it dry and,and still sucking it. They also brought two politicians who hate eachother (lord lugard and lord I've forgotten his name) to rule over the south and northern protectorate of Nigeria. It was all about politics and what they stand to gain in the name of the queen. This also goes to our kinsmen that we're backstabbers, sellouts, ffuck them in their graves.
Everyone just keeps taking and taking from Africa. Down to all our military rulers, yakubu Gowon and the cement armada, 47$million dollars in gains, that's in the 70's. That's one of the numerous white whale projects. Down to the civilian rule. The shit hole keeps getting shiitier. I've successfully derailed the thread so, welcome to Alcatraz!

Great man

Jaja ,The Igbo man who owns opobo and bonny..

Who says Igboland is landlocked? we have direct access to sea,offshore oil drilling,world class navy feels so good..

How ?

SportsHD:

He refused to Cede his Opobo Kingdom to the British

Both belonged to the Ijaw till today

Jaja was a former Igbo Slave of the Anna Pepple Ijaw house who rose to become the King of Opobo

techwaya:

He owned only Opobo. His Igbo descendants still own it. And in fact the Supreme court scuttled the Ijaw effort to criminally take over Opobo from the Jajas

Ndoki Igbos own Ubani, which is why the name of the town has an Igbo meaning only. It doesn't have any Ijaw meaning both Ubani and Ibani/Ebani

He tried to resist the imperial/colonial high handedness and the pilfering natives resources to enrich and develop European industries at the start of the industrial age.

He had nonopoly/controlled of the Palm Oil market which the colonialist detested particularly the Royal Nigerian Company a British chartered company.

He was said to be one of the richest African of that Era and an astute businessman which the imperialist found baffling.

He was also one of the earliest African who saw through the heart of the wicked white man...so he resisted them and they didn't like "him".

He was indeed a great man.

I don't know why history is not thought in Nigerian school.

How do we discover ourself when we don't know where we are coming from...

They really don't want us to know.

The ijaw and Rone omokeri version of king Jaja's story?

A slave made mighty by his masters

So masters became subjects of their slave? lol nonsense

He lost a war to superior forces.

Great man,

How I wish our leaders can have such insight and balls like you did then.

Thanks sir for your selfless service to humanity and Africa at large !

See as dem maintain the house.

We actually have a problem in this country. Problem of maintainance and quality construction.

Go to Marina and see colonial buildings.
Save for their rotting roofs and wooden features that have fallen to nature, a lot of them still stand gallantly.

Compare them to recent building and you will weep.

The first educated international businessman from Nigeria. He was exporting Palm Oil from Opobo directly to Liverpool in England. He was billionaire ..

It looks like a good house, it's interesting to note and good to note that he did not die in poverty

The exiled king,I'm sure his people would have wondered what became of him

Any info on his family in the exiled country?

Looks like a good house if it has not been restructured since then. Also, who wanna give us full gist on the exile ?.

Food don land for tribalistic to chew

Thank you my brother.

King Jaja of Opobo tolerated no nonsense from the British colonialists, and he paid the price.

Great son of Africa.

He failed to relinquish his Opobo Kingdom to the British

Spot on!

Jaja was an Igbo man who ruled Opobo & Bonny (modern day PH & Bayelsa).

I believe this settles those foolish Afonjas saying Igbos want to steal ND. Niger Delta belongs to Igbos just like Lagos!

FakeUnity:
The british are a very sleazy bunch.

The USA should have allowed Hitler and Axis forces to invade them and give them a taste of their own bitter medicine.

So na now you know?
Keep attacking me on war threads you hear

nsiba:

Hahaha you are confused

Hitler saw his Aryan race superior to other whites,wonder what would become of black race if he succeeded conquering the brits

When you read of the British past you can't just stop shaking your head. Pirates got knighted after enriching the queen coffers with looted valuables

DoggoneDogg:
Jaja was an Arochukwu man who ruled Opobo & Bonny (modern day PH & Bayelsa).

I believe this settles those foolish Afonjas saying Igbos want to steal ND. Niger Delta belongs to Igbos just like Lagos!

Jaja was from Amaigbo in present day Imo State.
Nothing concern him with Arochukwu

Anna People House was never Ijaw.
Liars.
Everything about Jaja was Igbo. Both the buyer and the seller.
The seller was from Oguta and the buyer Anna Pepple was also Igbo.
Read towards the end of the report from the British slave trader Captain Hugh Crow of Liverpool that witnessed everything.

I quote "The King of the new Calabar, in the neighbourhood, and PEPPLE, King of Bonny, were both Eboe"
