Europeans, like Temple O., who made early contact and wrote about the Oworo people referred to them in their writings as 'Aworo'.

Ubì ajì Niger ibe yé ì Niger-Benue kú má rojì kpai kì dàma ló tì eju north kpayí Igbira Igu (Egbura), northwest kpayí Kakanda, west by the Abinu and to the south by Ebira land. It is a mountainous terrain. A number of Oworo communities are on the Agbaja Plateau. Some Oworo towns and Villages includes Agbaja, Jamata, Obajana, Tajimi, Emu, Jakura, Omuwa, Otada, Agbodo, Adamogu, Otuga, Gbonla-Odo, Aleke, Igaa, Ojigi, Owara Igaachi, Igbonla, Ogbabon, Gbande, Adogbe, Ijiho, Karara, Banda, Okonoke, Akpata, Oyo, Irimi, Gbaude, Iwaa, Osokosoko, Okomoba, Ogbongboro, and Felele (The northern suburb of Lokoja town).[7]

Culture and Political Structure

[nwọ́che | nwó étéwn che]

Oworo culture bears grave resemblance with those of Bunu, Ikiri, Yagba, Ijumu and Owe people who are together with the Oworo people referred to as Okun, the word used in greeting.[1] Like the Bunu people, Oworo people were known for their bassa-like cat whisker marks.[8] The women were known for weaving of a cloth called Arigidi, a cotton textile, and also weaved abata (aso ipo), a red textile used by Oworo, Owe and Bunu for the burial rights of important people.[9] The men are traditionally hunters and farmer. Fishing is also practiced in the riverine communities of the eastern axis of Oworo land. The people practice Christianity, Islam and African traditional religion. Prominent among Oworo festivals is the Oluwo festival. It is a triennial festival of the worship of Olu-iho (the king of all holes) which is the Agbaja end of a 2km long natural tunnel.[citation needed] The advent of Christianity and Islam has reduced the importance and worship of several gods (ebora) and as well lessened the importance and observation of several egun or egungun festivals which have their roots in the worship of ancestral spirits.[2]

Historically, Oworo was organised into cities states, with each state having her own leader. However, with the advent of Nupe hegemony, the central kingship system began in the 19th century, the first Olu being Olu Okpoto.[4][10][11] The current Olu of Oworo is Alhaji Mohammed Baiyerohi.[12]

Mineral resources

[nwọ́che | nwó étéwn che]

Oworo land is rich in mineral deposits. The major minerals include iron ore on the Agbaja Plateau,[13] marble in Jakura and limestone in Oyo-Iwa Community.[14] Dangote Group is currently exploring the limestone in Oyo-Iwa axis of Oworo land in the production of cement in its Dangote Cement factory located at Obajana.
