Jaja of Opobo, originally named Jubo Jubogha, was a prominent 19th-century Nigerian merchant king and the founder of the Opobo city-state in what is now Rivers State, Nigeria. Born around 1821, he was originally enslaved and later rose to become a powerful leader and trader in the Niger Delta. Jaja played a crucial role in the palm oil trade, successfully negotiating with European merchants and maintaining the independence of Opobo against colonial pressures until his eventual arrest and exile by the British in 1887.

THE FALL OF DAHOMEY

The Agojie, also known as the Dahomey Amazons, were an all-female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey in present-day Benin, West Africa. This group was established in the 17th century and remained active until the end of the 19th century. Known for their ferocity and discipline, the Agojie were elite warriors who played a key role in the defense and expansion of the Dahomey kingdom. They were unique in that they were one of the few documented female armies in world history, and they participated in numerous battles and military campaigns. Their legacy has been remembered as a symbol of female strength and bravery.

during the colonial era, the Kingdom of Dahomey was heavily involved in the transatlantic slave trade. From the 17th to the 19th centuries, Dahomey captured and sold a significant number of people as slaves, primarily to European traders. The kingdom's economy relied heavily on the slave trade, and it became a central part of its political and military strategies. Dahomey conducted frequent raids and wars against neighboring states to capture people for enslavement. This practice continued until the late 19th century when European colonial powers, particularly the French, intervened and eventually abolished the slave trade in the region.
