My brother don't delude yourself. Okpe is Urhobo. It is actually the largest Kingdom in Urhobo land. Their language may have dialectical variations but they are URHOBO and are recognised as such. Isoko, on the other hand, though still a dialect of Urhobo in my opinion, have a people who are much more different in outlook and the language is recognised as being different.
Please don't get it twisted!
Isoko are actually another dialect spoken by the Urhobo people, they share same ancestors as the Okpes cos there is a place called Okpe isoko, thats where the Okpes are from,

[size=18pt]They are very stingy.
That is why Delta State is still underdeveloped since the independence of Nigeria on October 1, 1960.
They hardly invest in the development of their people.[/size]
Bros your lied here. They are not stingy at all. They can chop their last cash hoping one of there person will hammer 2morrow or next. To set the record straight, they are not stingy at all.

Pls no bashing , Thank God for the peace we all are experiencing in warri, We all know the issue b/w Urhobo, Itsekiri and Ijaw, this thread is created to promote Peace and unity. Below are some Unique Similarities b/w The Big Three's (Urhobo, Ijaw and Itskeiri).

1. They all love Woman : An Average Urhobo , Ijaw and Itsekiri man loves women, You hardly see them getting married to one wife… I.e polygamous Family

2. Wealth : Apart from oil been located in our land, An Average Urhobo , Ijaw and Itsekiri man is rich, if the ijaws re nt fishing the Urhobo's and Itsekiri are Farming, you hardly see them suffering.

3. Accommodating : we are all accommodating, Have you met with any typical Ijaw , Urhobo or Itsekiri man b4, How was his behavior towards you ?, they love strangers and hardly do you hear them maltreating any body.

4. Funny : Well don't need to emphasis more on this, If you see us alone , You already started laughing, 60% of Nigeria Comedian are either ( Urhobo , Ijaw or Itsekiri)

5. They are not lazy : Hmmmmm, don't Bleep with the big Three's , they are very strong.

6 . Culture : They all have similar culture

7. Well Educated

8. They love alcohol

God bless The Itsekiri Nation
God bless The Urhobo Nation
God bless the Ijaw Nation

Very true. Of the three tribes, the Izon (ijaws) have shown me more hospitality. They are more welcoming.

Secession is Treason undecided. I will defend my motherland regardless of where I may be. If the Us had seceded they wouldn't have been a superpower. I share that dream for Nigeria. undecided

u sure, because in where i do IT one guy way b say na okpe boy dey correct me anytime i call am urhobo,
even self d guy says that his peeps differentiate dem from urhobo as having simila culture, but diff from urhobo o
That guy is just in denial on who he is. Firstly, there's no ethnic group in Nigeria known as Okpe. They are recognised as a part of Urhobo! All their appointments and socio-cultural ties are with the Urhobos. They are members of the UPU of the Urhobos. They answer Urhobo names, speak and understand general Urhobo but their own traditional dialect is very very deep just like Ijebu yoruba. Some of them, for political or personal reasons, claim to be different and the Isoko experiment (where a man named Otobo, an Isoko Man in the then Eastern Urhobo division of the Western Colonial Parliament, moved for Isoko's independence from Urhobo and succeeded) prove to be what they aspire towards. However, just like any other tribe, they are a dialect of Urhobo as much as Isoko is but they are more Urhobo in culture and language than the Isokos. Funny enough, Isoko and Okpe seem to be kith & kin.
The summary of all these is that Okpes are Urhobos! Don't let the deluded thinking of someone confuse you about this FACT!
