Wadoooo!

well, thanks for at least talking about Okpe here in Nairaland.
For the record, we need to correct certain misconceptions.
From your historical perspective, Okpe migrated from Bini on their own and settled in where they are today. Did it says they came with the other Urhobo brothers? They came on their own. Na only dem waka come. So why group them as part of Urhobo? Okpe is okpe. Urhobo is Urhobo.
Okpe Agbameni!

@bolded, The Urhobo nation is big, my last post was about the Uvwie people, I try as much as possible to write about every Kingdoms making up the Urhobo nation, am not alone on this quest, Some notable Users like Fratermathy also tries his best to bring urhobo culture to the world.

Now I will address your other claim, First of all We are not forcing anything on Anybody, The Okpe nation is well respected among other Urhobo kingdoms, For the fact that people migrated separately doesn't mean they are not part of the larger Urhobo family, Itsekiri has different founders who migrated from Ijebu, Ilaje and Bini, but that doesn't make them more or less Itsekiri.

We are all one, and the Urhobo nation will surely protect one of their own.

Urhobo Ovuovo!

Did the OP ever say Okpes migrated with other Urhobo polities? Did any Urhobo group migrate together with others? All Urhobo groups maintain distinct migratory tales. The Urhoboness of Urhobos is a product of cultural and clannish affinity, not even linguistic affinity as it is obvious that Uvwie and Okpe are distinct Edoid languages like Isoko and Urhobo.

Okpe is a part of Urhobo. The Orodje is a strong Urhobo king. Whatever your thoughts are on this should go to the royal house at Orerokpe and not the OP.

This man stayed in festac, you dare not make noise close to his house.. soldier go beat Weyrey for your body...

nowpresence:
