Ugbe is mostly used by children/youth. have you ever heard an old man/woman asking somebody to bring 'ugbe' instead they say, bring 'okuta'.

You asked a question, you should have waited for an answer instead of assuming......... If you must know, I'm full blooded Benin.

Wrong again, maybe this "old man/woman" isn't a full blooded bini-person. uhgbe is mostly used by full blooded sons/daughters of the land.
