Opobo people and the towns around met the Europeans first! The first court was in Bonny kingdom, Opobo was the 1st well developed city state In the area called nigeria today.
Opobo town was the first town to be well mapped and surveyed in the area called nigeria.
Nigeria state should start teaching our young ones history to avoid distortion of facts.

Badagery does not house the 1st or the 2nd or even 3rd storey building in Nigeria.

Opobo people were so wealthy,they imported fabricated houses from liverpool England.
Nigeria state should not be afraid of what the Opobo,bonny and other riverine area can offer in terms of history. They should teach it in schools.
It is worthy to note that nigeria was the only country in Africa that got her independence without bloodshed and the document that ensured that was signed by the british monarch during king Jaja was handed over to Dr nnamdi azikiwe in Opobo kingdom.
Lord luggard was residence in Opobo kingdom during his time in nigeria

Badagry holds the record. Any other claim is a counterfeit...

As an Ibani Ijaw I can say that this is clearly a lie, Jaja(Juwo Juwogha 1821-1891) wasn't even born in 1790, and the kingdom of Opobo was formed in 1870, not taking anything away from the giant strides made by the Ibani people pre Nigeria, which was of more significant than setting up a rickety storey building
