So, George Goodhead was earlier known as Indian queen, then Ukonu, George Goodhead and later Ukonu again, which was closely associated with King Opubo of Bonny during his lifetime, and was an ally and supporter of the Anna Pepple group (made up of more than 10 houses: Wariso, Kuke, George Goodhead (Ukonu), Iruanya (Uranta), Ibifa, Kiepirima (Toby), Epelle, Kala Ndassa, Tom Taylor, Wogu Dappa, Strongface etc.)
[2] Goodhead has been expressly presented as very significant in the evolving politics between the Anna Pepple and Manila Pepple groups of houses in the ancient kingdom of Bonny, and was revered as rich and important, equal in status to both King Halliday and Chief Jack Brown during his time.
[3] Goodhead was a signatory to the 23 January 1854 treaties, between Great Britain and the native princes and chiefs of the west coast of Africa, relating to commerce and the slave trade.
Most of them, for example Wariso and George Goodhead, had already made their way to Opobo, the most important remaining ones were Kuke (Cookey) and Oko Epelle and their people.
