A proud, historic community in Bonny Local Government Area — its people, culture, and everyday life documented here for the world.
The Finima people are part of the Ibani ethnic nationality of Bonny Local Government Area, being one of the aboriginal founding royal families — Duawaris. The ancestors of the Buoye Omuso Brown House were the founders of Finima and among the first arrivals on Bonny Island.
The Buoye Omuso Brown House (BOBH) constitutes 99% of Finima's indigenes, who trace their roots to BOBH — including the Adum (Tamunobere), Attoni, and Tobin lineages. It was the founding generation of Bonny that established the area's civilisation and commonwealth; every chieftaincy house derives its authority from descent from its founders.
Finima's leadership runs from the Amadabo — the community's paramount ruler — through the Council of Chiefs, family unit heads, and the Finima Youth Congress, which leads on environment, security, and civic initiatives across the community.
