ODIA Profile

Formed in 1990 by the pioneer members in New York City United States of America, the first executive members were Mr. Robert Eyubeh-President, Lucky Abamwan- General Secretary, Martins Gbeneki- Financial Secretary/Treasurer and Jude Onakpoma [Alias Awayaway- Nigeria Most wanted Comedian]-Publicity/Press Secretary.

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.

Oghwoghwa as a community organization geared her efforts to ensure that the rich culture of our motherland is preserved and  pass on from one generation to another
