PREFACE

This paper, without the postscript and appendices, was delivered at the First International Conference on Urhobo Cultural Studies organized by Emudiaga Club of Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, from September 4 to 7th 1992.

The Club had hoped to publish the paper along with other presentations as a monograph. Due to their inability to publish, I have taken the initiative to do it myself but duly informing the Club. I do hereby make this acknowledgment of Emudiaga Club of Lagos.

The facts and views expressed here may not be pleasant to some. They are not meant to be candy. They are candid.

That no machinery is suggested to promote Urhobo progress is not an omission. It is to de-emphasize the technical and the emphasize the moral upon which ultimately depends the efficiency of the technical.
