Ekoko r'Urhobo v'Isoko ovi'Nairalandi, Wadooo!!!

You guys have all said well and enlightened me. I never knew that title has roots in Yoruba!

Opharhe, nice to see you here. It's been a while I spotted you on Nairaland. You missed our Warri thread.

To add a little to this thread:

In Isoko, we also have a class of chiefs called Edio which is headed by an Odion-Ologbo. This class of chiefs is also present in Uwherun clan due to Isoko influence. The Odio-Ologbo acts as the Ovie in the absence of the title bearer in any Isoko clan/Uwherun in Urhobo. The Odio-Ologbo is usually the oldest chief or the most influential chief of the Edio class. Even Isoko clans that have Ovies, such as Ozoro, etc, have the Odio system with an Odio-Ologbo serving more as the "Otota" than the traditional "Otota".

However, the tradition of Olorogun has been imported by the Isokos, notably in Iyede and other borderline clans. Although theirs is simply celebratory and titular and not taken as a class of chiefs.

In Urhoboland, the Ohovworen and Ekakuro systems highlighted by Opharhe are the standard traditional Urhobo chieftaincy classes recognised by scholars in Urhobo culture. The Olorogun title was imported and now signifies a "super-aristocracy". Among the chiefs, some are Illorogun due to prestige, as well as being favoured by the Ovie! Some clans are even slowly changing the Ohovworen to Olorogun entirely due to the perceived likeability of the title.

All-in-all, Urhobo/Isoko has a very rich cultural system that we should all identify with as Urhobo/Isokos. We should all live lives that are deserving of an eventual Olorogun/Ohovworen/Edio title as Urhobo/Isoko people.


This thread truly deserves an engaging and a more elaborate discussion by all Urhobos/Isokos and the general pan-Edo/Yoruba tribes. A frontpage won't be a bad idea.

i never knew Ohovworen and Ekakuro is the original word for chief, is olori also an urhobo word? have seen several urhobo answering that name

Opharhe:
Thanks Oniovo. I saw the Warri post late so I just chill. You guys did justice to it. Kudos.

That's true about Uwherun. The traditional ruler of Uwherun is called Odion r'Ode. Odion is an ancient Edo/Urhobo/Isoko word for elders and it's sometimes used to refer to the departed ancestors. I was raised in Odion in Warri(Iyara, Cemetery Road, Sido axis) and I later found that it was the first settlement of the Agbarha-Ame people where there was an Ogwan for the reverence of the ancestors. The village heads in Benin are known as Odionwere... It goes on and on.

The word Olorogun is just for the name value and many people use it for convenience. The Chieftaincy Institution remains original with corresponding titles throughout Urhoboland. Micheal Ibru for example, was himself an Ohonvwore by virtue of the fact that he was conferred that title by the Ovie of Agbarha-Otor, his hometown. A Chief of Agbon or Okpe is Okakuro, Ughelli, Ohonvwore etc.

I'll show you a video about Ema dance with a short explanation about the Olorogun title by Chief Achonacho, the great Urhobo Orator.

please do well to share the video here let's see.

seun and lalasticlala,

Afam4eva:
This is one title that i've always thought it sounded Yoruba until recently. I came to learn about the title due to one of the Ibru people using the title.

yes, the title has no origin from the urhobo language, like someone suggested it might be from itsekiri since they speak like yoruba, but itsekiri don't have any word like olori, funny enough we do not share border with Yorubas.

Please move to fp, hope this thread is free from any tribal sentiment?.

fratermathy:
I know this person . Remember him from back in the days when he used to come to Eku! It was said that he was one of the most powerful prophets in the Delta Province of CCC then. RIP Victor Onodua!

@lalasticlala, it's not Celestial Church of God but Celestial Church of Christ!

hello I sent you a mail. mind checking it.

seun and lalasticlala, afam4ever do the needful,

hitman2911:
Olorogun title among the Yoruba groups means Olori Ogun (war commander) or Ologun (warrior). Olorogun are war chiefs.
Every Yoruba chief is referred to as Oloye while Olorogun are just a class of chiefs.

YonkijiSappo:
Oloroguns are a class of chiefs among the Yoruba.
The word for Chief is Oloye.

okay thanks for the correction, but what's important is that the word was imported into our language from Yoruba.

Curlieweed:
I think people like the guy you quoted probably troll for Seun to increase page views.

He mentions "IPOB", his fellow trolls join in and before you know it you have 20 pages of BS. That's the business model.

lolz, before you know it they have derailed your thread, I think seun is benefiting from all this, if not I wonder how he can't control them here. that was how they derailed a thread about warri last week.

..

gberra:
Olorogun means Chief in Yoruba ... This one weak me

Ipobs always lie

And how does this relate to iPod, please read before commenting.

Opharhe , fratermathy, Sanchez01
your contributions will be appreciated .

Olorogun is a title which means Chief in Urhobo/Isoko, the title is usually answered by top chiefs in urhobo land, thou this word has no origin from the Urhobo /isoko language.

Olorogun is a Yoruba word for Chief, it was imported into the Urhobo culture by Olorogun Michael ibru, before now the Urhobo usually don't use the title olorogun.

How it became accepted in Urhobo Land

Michael ibru was a popular figure in Urhobo land, and Nigeria as a whole, when he first answered the title "Olorogun", many chiefs saw it as something fashionable, and years later, they adopted they adopted the Olorogun title.

Brightgem:
Haaaaahahaa! What a bitter soul. Ur words are a reflection of Your ugly self not any other. To exchange like words with u is to debase myself to an even lower level than u already are. I hope u felt better after saying all those. ur even worse than the initial title of "silly rabbit" lol! u are even a Muslim. What a pity.

sist good morning.

you really have time exchanging words with nitwit here, just ignore them, well am almost done with your work, got some challenges due to the fact that the file was large, will mail you when am done.

menwongo:
Lol guys will now considered where to marry.
South south:1m
East:2m
North Central:50k
North:10k


Benue State in my mind

south south 1m ke, we have many ethnic groups here, in my culture it's very cheap, we don't sell our girls, you won't spend up to 40k except you want a big marriage.

am urhobo by the way, spending 1m for marriage is damn expensive, am not getting married anytime soon cous am young, but 1.2m, 1m e. tc no be small cash, to make money it's not easy.

maximum I can spend on wedding is 300k and I don't intend doing church wedding.

I said it.. north Korea is just underrated
see weapons.

Afriifa:
I prefer my Niger Delta the way it is. Why? You can't possibly differentiate who is who when you see an Uhrobo guy, Isoko guy, Ijaw, Ishekiri. Let me say even an Edo guy. Without if you are a stranger there. Unlike when you see an ***** man one glance you will know this is an **** man because they all have one thing in common. Hope you know that too.

I hope someone writes about this too, we are to quite in this country, that's why majority tribe wanna impose their dreams on us.

Fratermathy please take a look at the bolded.

bigfrancis21 & Afam4eva you guys didn't show up when some idiot were busy derailing the thread, leave frathermathy alone, I stop commenting on this thread when kids start saying thrash.

I was the one who asked the op to create the thread, what did the op said wrong they made some people angry.. this post is about warri and those who are not from warri should compose themselves or fuvk off the thread.

you can never see an urhobo man in Yoruba or igbo thread causing nuisance... in fact hardly do urhobo comment on this forum, the only few urhobo that's vocal here is fratermathy.

as for the issue of warri, you better not say what you don't know, no tribe claims ownership of warri, the so called "Olu" of warri knows his boundaries.

When there are no more white clients to scam they start scamming There fellow country man.

I still see no reason why someone will no want to work but wants to live large.

op truly sorry about this, and I hope they return your money back.

US should shut the fuc. k up.

they think they can intimidate everybody, I keep saying this, they should try rubbish na, they think they are dealing with African countries, North Korea go show them wee. it's been long they test there nuclear weapons.

this won't go down well, U. S should stop using force to solve issues.. many countries are just waiting for the perfect time to strike U. s

GodIsBiafran:
Seun. Please don't bring this thread to front-page. The OP has not FULLY apologized for his anti-Igbo bigotry.

what's anti igbo here, oga swerve jor.. you think say na only you sabi yan, he never insulted any body/tribe/state /country.

if you have trouble with him please go and settle it elsewhere, instead of crucifying him for nothing... enough of this.

The op only mentioned igbo twice, yoruba twice, hausa onces, he never insulted you.. the main purpose of this thread is to let Nigerians know the future potention of Warri.

this has nothing to do with any tribe apart from urhobo. stop it already please.

fratermathy:
The thing is that I don't even know what exactly they want me to edit.

lolz.. it's not easy to please everybody oniovo. the thread was free from any tribal sentiment..

but to let peace reign, just remove ukwuani and ika and replace with igbo. na there the problem they come.

..

lalasticlala

afonjaheadhunt:
My guy thanks for your understanding this are little thing that we know that breeds tribalism yet a lot engage in it and will be quick to tag others tribalist.

Once again thanks and I love waffi I do the whole waffi pidgin thing and love the starch and your banga soup too.

But take it easy with the op, most people from Delta usually refer to Delta igbos as ika, ukwuani, I think you shouldn't blame him, he has never denied the igboness of Delta north.

it's just a little misunderstanding, once again my apologies and I hope this thread won't be derailed further.

seun is this thread no worthy of thy front page?
