Oron Peoples

The Oron people, also known as Örö people, are a multi-ethnic tribal grouping located primarily in southern Nigeria in the riverine area of Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State. They are ancestrally related to the Efik people of the Cross River State, the Ibeno and Eastern Obolo (ie Adoni East) in Akwa Ibom, the Andoni people in Rivers State, Ohafia in Abia State and the Balondo-ba-Konja in the Congo. The Oron people are known for their warrior culture and speak the Oron (Oro) language, which is in the Cross River language family of the Benue–Congo languages. The Oron Nation is usually called by its members as Oro Ukpabang; Akpakip Oro; or Oro Ukpabang Okpo, and is made up of nine clans known as Afaha. The Oron people have been politically fragmented due to geopolitical restructuring in Nigeria and are now divided across two separate Nigerian states, the Cross River State and Akwa Ibom state, and into five local government areas (LGAs) within the Akwa Ibom state namely Oron LGA (Oron Central), Okobo, Udung Uko, Mbo and Urue Ofong Oruko Local Government Areas.
