oya stop the quareel about KING JAJA OF OPOBO read the whole story below KING JAJA OF OPOBO: NATIONALIST, FIRST NIGERIAN RICHEST MAN AND THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED ENTREPRENEUR OF THE 19TH CENTURY WEST COAST OF AFRICA Jaja of Opobo (full name: Jubo Jubogha; 1821–1891) was the first known Nigerian richest man, nationalist, a merchant prince and the founder of Opobo city-state which now forms part of Nigeria`s River State. Jaja whose real name was Mbanaso Okwaraozurumbaa was also a savvy political and military strategist, brought to the Bonny Kingdom as a slave, who was perhaps the most troublesome thorn in the flesh of 19th-century British imperial ambition in southern Nigeria. The story of Jaja recounts a man of servile status hurdling intimidating odds to attain wealth and power, and founding in the latter half of the 19th century the most prosperous city-state in the Delta area of Nigeria. He has rightly been described as, perhaps, the most enterprising and accomplished of all African merchant princes on the west coast of Africa in the 19th century (Fajana and Biggs 1976:137-138). He first traded in Bonny but later founded a new flourishing trading settlement in 1869 in Opobo, a site where he felt he could best control the traditional sources of supply of palm oil in the region (Cookey 1974). As far as Nigerian nationalist historiography is concerned, Jaja`s greatness could be found in his principled resistance to foreign political control. Indeed, Fajana and Biggs (1976:137) describe Jaja as the first Nigerian nationalist of the nineteenth century. Thus, Jaja’s principled oppositions to British influence in the Niger Delta has largely been interpreted by some historians as the precursors to Nigeria’s nationalist struggles.................. http://kwekudee-tripdownmemorylane..com/2014/04/king-jaja-of-opobo-nationalist-first.html

I will try and be civil with you. First of all. You have a lot of hate in you and the type that blame whites for the deeds of your thieving politicians. You have the right to hate the fact that we were colonised. Thats not the point. The point is that they ran a more effective administration than we've ever had since independence. They may have fashioned naija to serve their interest but the fact is they provided the masses with the basic services a govt should provide for the people. ROSSIKE: 1 Like |

Octaves:You are a nasty liar. They provided services in your block head not in reality. More effective administration in your stinking assshole not in reality. Basic services in your stinking mouth not in reality. Stupi.d lying animal. I have exposed your lies to which you have no response, so you say I hate the whites. I don't hate them. But I will not allow lying bootlicking slaves like you to come here and invent colonial achievements out of thin air. Now get lost! |

ROSSIKE:i cherish our independence but that wont prevent me from stating facts nor make me full of delusions like you. You need to snap out of your delirium and realise Naija hasnt progressed much since independence. Stop being bitter, your great grand father that was sold into slavery was probably sold by you great grand uncle. Stop blaming foreigners for the woes of the country. Now, stop quoting me because you are stupid |

Octaves:You are a born liar. Since when did correcting your lies about colonial achievements amount to "blaming foreigners for the woes of the country"? On the contrary, I am praising our own black leaders for the successes we have achieved thus far. Successes you refuse to acknowledge because you are too busy sucking whitey's nuts over his phantom achievements, while hating your own. What you need to do is get your head out of whitey's asss, stop being a self-hating black man, start to appreciate and respect your own, and contribute like a proud African to the continent's development. |
