Ekrejegbe
Ekrejegbe is a village in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria,[1] having boundaries with Ekakpamre. The people are mostly Christian and traditional worshippers.[1] One of the streets in Ekrejegbe village is called Ekrogbe Quarters.[2]
On 17 September 1999, Ekrejegbe was among some Ughievwen communities affected by an oil spill that resulted in a fire.[3]
On 20 April 2018, Ekrejegbe was one of the two Ughievwen communities where the Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa performed a "ground-breaking ceremony for a 400MW combined cycle power plant".[4][5][6]
The Urhobo people, including Ekrejegbe people, are said to be organized either by elders based on the age-grade system (gerontocracy) or based on rich and wealthy (plutocracies)".[7]
