I find Urhobo culture inviting based on the little that I know about them.
Had many of them as friends during my University days.

Elohor means blessing

Cyriloha:

Ese, Jovi, Tega, Mej, Jite, Ella, Eloho, Nita, Odiri, Meni, Mine, Eni, Osio, Oyibo, hauwa, Efe, Igho, etc etc

eke96:
I love Urhobo people! Especially their music

Urhobos love every other tribe too and always welcome respectful cordial relationships in culture, in marriage, in religion and in food....

It only gets bad when you try to ridicule the urhobo way in an urhobo man's house, HE WILL RETALLIATE!!!!! That one is not debatable....Urhobos don't like being oppressed or trampled on.

An urhobo man driving his bicycle will smash your jeeps windscreen if you splash him mud water with your car and you are unapologetic. Whatever will happen after that, let it happen....lol

laurel03:
Urhobo wayoooo

Lol, have you ever been scammed by an urhobo or seen an urhobo person involved in scam? That's very rare because of the moral tradition and long generational oats that keep children away from negative things like scam and all. Any urhobo child involved in such meets his doom in the end. Ask former Delta state govenor James Ibori!

The phrase 'urhobo wayoooo' was actually coined by our distant relatives and neighbours from our phrase of greeting 'urhobo wadooooo'.

My Fiancee own nah Oghene, we just attach some above name to our Pikins name. But d language nah no go for me. To hard, nah only Good afternoon i sabi. As a sharp Kwara guy i go just keep mute if den dey download dere Language. Sweet names sha.

Lol, I'm forced to agree, the language is not easy except you are from the axis of Edo, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers....then it could come easy for you.

AGgal:
All I see is Oghene Oghene!










Beautiful names though

He who knows the place of God in his/her life shall never be left wondering unguarded. Hence the 'Oghene' which translates to God

Uncommon names with uncommon meaning.

Diamonds are uncommon

olapluto:
Nigeria needs to consider Urhobo people when printing out forms or even for international passport. Their names are toooooooooo long.

When you do great things, you don't have to change your name..people will learn it!!!
100s of Urhobos making waves in the international seen didn't have to change their name.




Urhobos are very proud, funny and respectful people who value Equality as mutual respect.

Khaytunechi:
quite hard to pronounce some..

Actually very easy if you understand the language.
Sooooo many silent letters.
