The Urhobo people of Delta State are among the many culturally unique ethnic groups in Nigeria. They are the major ethnic group in the South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria and reside in Delta and Bayelsa states, which are part of the Niger Delta region. Urhobo traditional marriage is a marriage of two families; it involves the union of spouses’ families, and both play central roles in ensuring the success of the marriage. The special event is graced with special attire unique to their cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

What are the Delta Urhobo Traditional Attire for Men and Women?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The traditional Urhobo attire for men is different for women, but they share the same value for decency. The Delta Urhobo women, often called Aye, Ohwo, and Umuto, wear blouses known as ‘E<\/span>wu’ and a headgear called Onerho or UUriofo for their traditional marriage. Conversely, the men<\/span><\/span>\u00a0wear waist wrappers, a shirt, and a hat called ‘Eru. Alternatively, the men can wear a traditional agbada or dashiki.<\/p>\n

Urhobo men and women love to wear clothes that cover their whole bodies. However, like the Yoruba and Igbo traditional attire, the Delta Urhobo traditional attire focuses on colours with taste and distinction. This means that a lot of care and attention is given to dress for special events like marriage. So when choosing attire for your special event, ensure the colours on the woman’s outfit match those her husband will wear that day.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in modern Urhobo traditional weddings, men prefer long shirts and pants in bright colours, like blue, yellow, orange, green or white, while women prefer long skirts or dresses. Whichever way you choose to appear, be sure to add some coral beads, beaded crowns (Okuku) and other beautiful accessories that match your attire.<\/p>\n
