ABSTRACT
The main body of the peoples dealt with in this section is located in the north western part of the Niger Delta, mainly in the present-day Urhobo Division of Delta (formerly Warn) Province. They occupy an area of about 2,000 square miles bounded on the north by the Benin kingdom, on the east by the Ibo and the Niger River, on the south by the Ijaw and Forcados Rivers, and on the west by the Itsekiri country. The pockets of Edo-speakers in Rivers Province are probably most closely related to the Isoko.
