Oghwoghwa is a father of four children namely Ogor, Agbarha, Ughelli and Orogun; four clans in Urhobo, the ancient Delta Province of Midwestern Region under the British colony; now Delta State of Nigeria.

Each child of Oghwoghwa as a clan is headed by a traditional ruler known as Ovie meaning King in Urhobo Land. In fact, without Oghwoghwa, the name Urhobo would have not been cured.
