The Orhuwhorun people “Ogba kwo Orhuwhorun mue en” which means an attempt formed to capture her people can not succeed. This old saying was birthed in 1901 after George Eyube died from an accidental shot fired from his own pistol during a patrol from Orokpo to Orhuwhorun with an attempt of bringing the people under firmer control. The Orhuwhorun people are sometimes referred to as Ugbede and Obodo people, they reside in the north eastern part of Udu Local Government Area of Delta State Nigeria. The Urhobo language predominantly spoken by them is known as Udu.

  • The Orhuwhorun people “Ogba kwo Orhuwhorun mue en” which means an attempt formed to capture her people can not succeed. This old saying was birthed in 1901 after George Eyube died from an accidental shot fired from his own pistol during a patrol from Orokpo to Orhuwhorun with an attempt of bringing the people under firmer control. The Orhuwhorun people are sometimes referred to as Ugbede and Obodo people, they reside in the north eastern part of Udu Local Government Area of Delta State Nigeria. The land is surrounded by neighbouring communities. Ekete in north, Owhrode in the south, Egini in the east and Usieffrun (Urhiephron) in the west. Some communities like Ovwian, Arhagba and Igbogidi form boundaries in the south-west and the south-east of Orhuwhorun. According to the 2006 census figures Udu local government has a population of 142480 and Orhuwhorun is inclusive. Orhuwhorun has grown to be the second prominent and fast developing town in the Udu environ, due to the establishment of Delta Steel Company housing complex built in the 1970s for its workers. With this township Orhuwhorun developed and moved from being a rural area to an urban center. The Urhobo language predominantly spoken by them is known as Udu. In customs, they have a distinct annual festival that includes, Unueje, "Chechegbe" masquerade, and an annual epha female festival" literally known as "emeteyavwon" and "jabojawo" at which initiated daughters parade the streets of the town half naked to mark the coming of a new age. They also have to themselves an autonomous kingdom which was obtained from Aka (Benin) by a man named Okaka from eyenduvwon now Ekrovie quarters around the year 1715 to 1717 . The king in Orhuwhorun as in every other Urhobo communities is called the Ovie and greeted as Oghievworo! Oghievworo!! Osieran!!! wo su ton, and he is assisted by the council of chiefs and elders (Iletu, Ilorogun, Igbu-irue and Irehren). (en)
