Asuokaa:No he was Igbo but an accultured ijaw who dominated the people that bought him. |
Re: Amazing Pictures From Nigeria's Past by Eluala(m): 7:35pm On May 14, 2015 |
Asuokaa: Jaja was an Igbo boy from a place called Amaigbo in the present day Imo State. Back then there was a constant trading relationship between Igbos from the hinterland and the Ijaws, Ibibios, Ibanis, Efiks etc towards the coast. He was sold as a slave at age 9 to Ibani buyers and he ended up working his way up the social ladder by first paying for his own freedom and subsequently became so powerful as to dominate even the people that bought him. As the conflict increased, he decided to leave Ibani (Bonny) and moved away to occupy the place called Opobo today. Of course he moved with his household, slaves and army to establish Opobo. So judge for yourself if he is still Igbo or Ijaw. |

ujoinme:at least you have some manners. Rossike is an animal from a zoo. Actually, what i'm saying is that things were more organized, not that they affected more lives. The various arms and ministries of the govt were effective in their work. For eg. My dad lived in PH at the time, and the road from PH to Onitsha was always good. There was an agency in charge of road maintainance and they were always examining the roads for damages and repairing them. PH city had pipe borne water then, these things were standard then. Now Amaechi wanted how many million naira loan for PH water scheme yet he didnt do it. If you went to sec schools then, they were of the same standard with schls. in the UK. Now the indegenous govt may have done a better job in affecting ordinary Nigerians. But there are some things we had good back then that have deteriorated due to ineffective administration. |

Re: Amazing Pictures From Nigeria's Past by Nobody: 8:45pm On May 14, 2015 |
Octaves: Can you people see what I'm talking about? ''It was good for ME and MY FAMILY. My daddy was in Port Harcourt. Never mind the 90% of people who were impoverished village farmers, hunters, palm wine tappers, tailors, and carpenters. MY family were cool, so NIGERIA was much better.'' Selfishness personified. Things were ''more organized''. Why would it not be easy to be ''organized'' when you are catering to only 2% of the population while ignoring the other 98%? 1 Like |

Octaves: I don't have a ''viewpoint''. I have FACTS. You are a slave who cannot stand the truth that his white masters were FAILURES. You came here lying about how they provided jobs for graduates. I asked you what graduates from what universities when they was ZERO university built by them. You then began abusing my parents. Go and clear your head of mental slavery to whites. That is your biggest problem. |

ROSSIKE: And where oh pls did the op state that things were better tthen than they are now... if u do not understand where you are coming from how do you decide where you are going or how far down the road to your desire you have travelled. The past wasnt glorious, yes... but it is important to stay intouch with our history |
Re: Amazing Pictures From Nigeria's Past by Nobody: 9:23pm On May 14, 2015 |
blackprowler: What bibliography? You don't need any bibliography to know that Nigeria was an undeveloped wasteland at independence. Go anywhere in the country now, point at any infrastructure and ask the locals when it was built? None was built before independence. What we see around us is what we, the Africans built. So you don't need any bibliography. All you need is a bit of common sense, and lack of colonial mentality. |

engrkenny:there was nothing like Anambra state in 1970. It was called "Eastern Region" with the capital at Enugu. So Uli was part of Owerri which was another popular town in the Eastern region. |
