Ugep also Umor sometimes called Umor Otutu is a town in Cross River State, southern Nigeria. The village is populated by the Yakurr people.

The Ugep international Leboku festival is an annual New Yam Festival of the “Ugep” people; a worthy legacy always memory lane, its worth a brief but lucid expository, which usually ends with “YEKPI” popularly known as “LOBO” by the younger generation.

Ugep is notorious for cannibalism.
Visitors should be very careful when visiting that area.
In 2005 they eat up the DPO of the police station forcing the NPF to close their police station in Ugep

I served in Community Secondary School, Ugep in the 2007-2008 service year. We had our lodge behind High Court near the Lawn tennis Court.

Ugep is a very peaceful and hospitable community. We enjoyed so much freedom and freebies that the then Obol Lopon would send for all the corpers and ask if we had challenges. He would address all of them, in one of those instances, he bought us a generator. Such was the kindness of the Ugep people that during this leboku, our lodge is always filled with yams, garri, etc and the local palmwine tappers also give us palmwine all for free.

When I hear that Ugep people are Cannibals I often ask myself if it is another Ugep because i spent almost 2 years in this community and I enjoyed it.

Their girls are very beautiful and their boys do dress well. Ugep people are really nice people and I wish them a happy leboku festival.

Watch as IPOB youths will come and claim this place as Biafran territory or say that the people are Igboid.

My culture, my heritage!

Never seen a culture as rich as ours. That is the yekpi or lobo day. What I enjoy most in this day is when the chief priest goes round the town for children who have been too sickly over the years. He performs some peace rituals for them and that would be the end of such illness.
