Urhobo traditional religion

Urhobo traditional religion, practiced by the Urhobo people of Nigeria, centers on a belief in a supreme deity called Okiruwor, along with ancestral spirits and lesser deities. It emphasizes harmony with nature, reverence for ancestors, and ritual practices to seek guidance, protection, and blessings. Rituals often involve offerings, prayers, and ceremonies conducted by community elders or priests. The religion fosters moral values, social cohesion, and respect for traditions, blending spiritual beliefs with daily life. While influenced by Christianity today, Urhobo traditional religion remains an important cultural and spiritual foundation for many Urhobo people.
