Opobo is a city in Rivers State, southern Nigeria.
A key centre of the palm oil trade, Opobo was founded in 1867 by Jaja, an Igbo slave-boy who had risen to become a powerful Bonny merchant prince. Under Jaja, Opobo briefly dominated the region’s palm oil market, but was removed by the British in 1887 for blocking British access to Nigeria’s interior. After Jaja’s arrest and exile to Saint Vincent in the West Indies, Opobo rapidly declined in power. External linksHistory of Opobo
