Until now and thanks to Agidigbi, I have always felt that OKORO was an Urhobo name. One of my closest friends in Warri in those blessed days always get angry when he is not called by his father's given name: OKORO. I must add however that even his father was not quite sure what the name meant at that time.

About reclaiming that name, I don't think we should even worry about that. It is one of those things you leave behind in a successful war campaign. Perhaps, we may let people know what the name actually stands for.

Thanks...

BENJAMIN IMHONDE.
