Ogba (also Olu Ogba, mobu onu Ogbah) is an Igboid language spoken by Ogba people of Nigeria mostly in River State. They are part of the Ogba/ Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area in Rivers State.[1][2] The king is referred to as the Eze-ogba and was politically influenced to change the title as 'Oba' just as the Benin's refer to theirs. Annually they celebrate the 'Egwu ogba' festival. The largest festival in the Egi land.
