The story

Okere Urhobo Festival in Warri

The Okere Urhobo Festival is associated with Okere, an Urhobo community within Warri, Delta State, an area with a long-documented Urhobo cultural presence alongside the Itsekiri and Ijaw communities that also inhabit Warri. Specific documentation of this individual festival's programme and history is limited in accessible sources.

Warri, one of the major urban centers of Delta State, is home to a cultural mix that few Nigerian cities can match, with Urhobo, Itsekiri, and Ijaw communities living alongside one another, each carrying its own distinct history, language, and ceremonial calendar within the same metropolitan area.
