JAJA OF OPOBO. THE FIRST BLACK PANTHER
Cc Alexistaiwo, koicereloaded, joeeee240 Jaja of Opoba was an Igbo man sold into slavery to the people of Bonny. Spared from being sold to the land of no return (to the white man) and kept to work in the house of one of his Bonny buyers. Set free after sometime, according to Bonny custom in a ceremony which including the public shaving of the head by the oldest married woman in the family. Free slaves were allowed every right to grow as anybody else in Bonny custom He was intelligent and grew very strong in business and influence. He wanted to be the new Jumbo House chief. He was reminded he came into the kingdom as a slave. He refused to back down. A ware ensued (he chose to fight, he was rich). He lost the war and could not come back to the kingdom (wars in the region were fought in war boats). Having done business in the area (as influential Bonny men did) he had a relationship with the Andoni rulers. He and those that were on his side in the just lost war, met the Andoni ruler, who carved out the large territory for him and his people, on which he, Jaja, would start and establish his dynasty and kingdom. And thus was the birth of Opobo land and the Opobo people, with their pioneering king, King Jaja, of Opobo. Although Opobos know their history and that it can be traced back to Igbo land, they are more proud of the new identity they created for themselves, most of which is borrowed from the Ijaw people of Bonny (called Ibanis) who had them (i.e their forefathers) as slaves, set them free, and in whose land they were allowed to live and thrive as Ibanis (Bonny people). When a slave was freed, he was given a new name and denounced wherever he came from, pledging allegiance to the Bonny kingdom and the family into which he was bought as a slave. People from what is today known as Akwa Ibom state where also sold to the slave merchants in Bonny as slaves. In Opobo today, they maintain the system of families dominant in Bonny social and society structure. They also maintain a mornarchy system (what they experienced in Bonny, as opposed to haphazard chieftaincy titles predominant in Igbo land). They speak a twist of Igbo and Ibani (the version of Ijaw native to and spoken by the Bonny people) but there has been a recent organized effort by them re-establish Ibani as their main dialect. The story of the emergence of Opobo is one very interesting piece of Niger Deltan history, the books that cover which, children should read at an early age. I read a book (and encylopaedia writings) about this at an early age, and am happy for the knowledge it gave me and the role it plays in helping a young boy have a better sense of direct African history. By the way, King Jaja of Opobo died in exile as he was sent on exile by the British on account of his stubbornness and unwillingness to give in to their desire to take over his Kingdom (just as they exiled a Bonny king and many other rulers across West Africa). If I remember right, King Jaja died on his way back from exile. If I remember correctly (and I think I do) he didn't made it back home. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Can't say how i'm enjoying it, but i really do, with first and second and tenth try as well. Usually watch it with movies123.top as it has subtitle options and English is not my first language.
