Abstract :
Doctor Dappa was already a principal member of the Prince Dapu house in Bonny. The steady growth of the House suddenly stagnated with the death of Prince Dapu, leaving a minor son, Dapu- Ye-Fubara. It was Wogo Dappa, the most senior member of the house that tried to revive the fortunes of the house and also nurtured the son of Prince Dapu. By 1854, when King William Dappa Pepple was deposed, Dapu-YeFubara was crowned the new King of Bonny Kingdom. King Dapu-ye- Fubara died after barely one year as king. These two great events of the loss of the father and son led Doctor Dappa and Brown Agent Dappa out of their original house in search of a more stable and economically resourceful house. In the 1869, Bonny civil war, Chief Jack Tolofari preferred to ally with the new chief of the Annie Pepple group, Chief Jack Jaja Annie Pepple and followed him to Opobo. This was how both Doctor Dappa and Brown Agent Dappa became allies of Chief Jack Tolofari and followed him to the new town of Kalaibiama, Opobo, instead of following Chief Wogo Dappa to Opobo main town. The paper therefore examines the successful linkage of the Chief Doctor Dappa House with Wogo Dappa main house and other component houses in the group, yet maintaining the intergroup relations with the other houses in Kalaibiama. For methodology, the paper uses oral tradition, primary and secondary sources, to reconstruct the history of the house
