@esan.heritage: History: Did you know? Ubiaja was once the central seat of power for all of Esanland! Following the British military expeditions between 1901 and 1906, Ubiaja became the strategic administrative headquarters for the Ishan (Esan) Division. Here is how Ubiaja shaped regional history: Seat of the District Officer (D.O.): Housed the administrative offices, Native Court, and police station. Hub of Indirect Rule: Convened traditional rulers (Enijie) from Irrua, Uromi, Ekpoma, and across Esanland for governance. Strategic Gateway: Linked trade & transport routes to the Niger River, laying the groundwork for iconic institutions like Sacred Heart College. #Esanland #EsanHistory #EdoState #Ubiaja #AfricanHistory
