By next year, you'll soon be reading all sorts of nonsense written by African people exploiting these names for false tales about Nigeria. Last year, all over the internet, people from all over Africa , up to no good, were suddenly from warri or Delta state. They had learned from Niraland that such places existed. Exploiting Delta state and warri was sufficiently originalto fool Nigerians.

One of the first places these Uhrobo names might pop up is the next Big Brother Africa forums. You'll read something like this from someone whose' username is Akpenvwoghene: 'i am Urhobo form Nigeria but i hate the Nigerian contestants, my favorite contestant is mister Slopehead from Ghana'

Hi bro, there are many tribes who are descendants of the great Benin kingdom, the urhobos are one of these many tribes and we do not deny our origin. History has it that the ancient Benin kingdom span from benin in edo state to Benin republic through the entire yoruba nation, and from Benin again through the coast of the atlantic to even parts of the akwacross axis. you can do your research. So it is very likely that we might have some names and traditions that look alike in both igbo speaking regions and even yoruba speaking regions.

@CHM11,

People don't bear Oghene as short form except those that can't pronounce the full name and I doubt if a parent will call their children Oghene for short.

Yes Oghene is short form and Yes people are called Oghene by their parents. I've seen many of such people.
