Ekealterego:

Oga read the war well in details. The only reason it lasted a week was because they were looking for the Oba. They didn't end it officially until the oba was exiled to Calabar by Harry Rawson and at least six Benin chiefs executed at the market place.
You see those famous Benin bronze head and ivory that you see in British Museum was looting during and after the war.

Why una no fit be governor na?

cheruv:

Shifting the discussion doesn't change the fact that Andoni isn't Ịjọ but Mmogho, same stock as obolo, which is part of the bigger Mmogho ethnicity.
Infact, the only Ịjọ clan East of the Bonny river are the koniju of okirika, every other clan btwn Bonny river and Opobo river is either Igbo, Ogoni or Mmogho

Logan23:


U mean Jaja of Opobo didn't cross water? .

D igbo ethnic group has never ever been slaves to anyone in their history, be quiet u morron

meccuno:
Igbos scared of Fulani? Lol. Why didn't they fight us alone without help? You are a funny little man.

PHijo:


The Jaja I know crossed water as an Ijaw chief along with other Ijaw chiefs from one Ijaw kingdom to another Ijaw kingdom where other Ijaws reached an agreement to allow them establish a kingdom.

Logan23:


That he was IYC does not in anyway mean that he is not among d IGBO who changed their name because of abandoned property in Porthacourt

You are the one than needs read well, Arochukwu war lasted less than a year.

And Benin Continued the war for 2 yrs.

Make a better research before commenting next time

Logan23:


Nah, I'm not talking about the Jaja that u know...I'm talking of the one from igbo land that founded Opobo

PHijo:


Did chief Asari-Dokubo tell you he is from Port Harcourt LGA?

Did the Amachree dynasty start existing after 1970 that Asari would have had to change his name because of "abandoned properties"?

Abandoned for who and by who?

Is it in Andoni,Okrika, Okuru,Opobo, Bille,Bolo, Bonny or Buguma, etc you had abandoned properties?

Logan23:


Ekumeku wars alone reached 31 years

PHijo:


The Jaja you know is a fictional character that exists in mazi Nnamdi Kanu's podcasts and perhaps in fictional papa Benji peppersoup joint!

Jaja the first amayanabo of Opobo was known to history as an Ibani Ijaw.

valirex:


Give me a reference to that

Logan23:


Asari does not need to come from Porthacourt lga in order to be an igbo

Show any form of proof that Opobo was founded by ijaw

The name Jaja is Ijaw, the word Opobo is Ijaw, the people who left Bonny for Opobo were Ijaw, the land was given to the people known as Opobo people today by another Ijaw clan.

As civilised people, different Ijaw city states were involved in the process that led to the establishment of Opobo. I don't owe you an explanation.

That Igbo lacked a governance system doesn't mean in Ijawland people could sleep, wake up and do whatever they like.

We have an operational legal system , Opobo didn't come from thin air.

Logan23:



"And Benin Continued the war for 2 yrs''

Nope, it started and ended in about days or so

valirex:


Ologbosere, chief of Benin kingdom, hanged by the British 28.06.1899 by 8am. He fought a guerrilla war for 2 years

Research on that

PHijo:


Where did you have illegally acquired property in Rivers state before 1967 apart from Port Harcourt?

ogbuefieze:

You daft revisionist, every historical and documented facts have proven Jaja was an Igbo born and bred in Umuduruoha , in Amaigbo right in the heart of old Orlu division. Even the more credible British database available online about his biography have these facts on file. So where in your useless Ijaw village was Jaja born? name the village! abi shouldn't the most influential man in Ijaws entire history have a birthplace if he was truly Ijaw? Oko Jumbo, King Jaja were Igbos with countless proof of their birthplace very well documented.

Your proclivity to shameless distortions of basic history is truly revolting to say the least.

80% of rivers state landmass is IGBO.

Jaja was not an Igbo chief neither did he live Igboland for Opobo. All historical records prove that he was an Ijaw chief who enslaved Igbos and latter got involved in the oil palm trade.

He had issues with British traders not as an Igbo but as an Ijaw chief and later as an Ijaw king.

There were several Ijaw kings and nobles that were well known before Jaja's birth and rise to prominence. Jaja is part of our not too distant past.

Except for Igbo revisionist history every other history says the date and his place of birth is not known.

The Igbo are the only ones that take PRIDE in being SLAVES or ENSLAVED!

As such Nigerians assume he was Igbo. Older records do not refer to him as an Igbo ex slave.

Jaja was not raised as an Igbo man.

Before our very eyes Asari Dokubo is being claimed by Igbos as "Uzodinma". Is it Jaja who lived over 150 years ago you wouldn't try to rewrite history in a bid to to lay claims?
