Pa Adonkigha from Esanma also was an early settler before the arrival of Yorubas from the interior to the water fronts. Pa Fiafade of Esanma, the bone doctor & founder of Kiokio Ijaw community was very prominent. Another major concentration of Ijaws in Lagos was at Idio-oro (the rail way line) where Jim Rex Lawson will usually play every Saturday at the Empire hotel and the Bonny Town Union use to hold their meetings there.
