Recently,  Uruehe sub- community Ezede Uzere Kingdom honoured her sons and daughter during their end of the year party. In his address, the Oletu, Mr. Avuwakoghene John Edoworu gave a brief history of Uruehe community. As the first son of Ezede, Uruehe had 2 sons namely, Ekoruwe and Okpuzo. Ekoruwe being the first son is always referred to as “Ekoruwe Sasasa’’. Speaking further, the Oletu said; God has blessed Uruehe people with longetivity. Many Uruehe have lived to become Edios not only in Uruehe, but also in Ezede and Uzere as a whole. Among whom are Late Akalaka, Late Adaka, Late David Ovre, Late Aluta and a host of others who are still alive till today. Pa Erebi Ebahor and Pa Johnson Imelu, Rev. M.M.

Guy Otobo, Sir Israel Afiemo, Archbishop (Prof.) Akpezi Imelu, Prof Stephen Emosairue, Engr. Mattheew Elayae, Prof Edafe Otobo, Prof. Odu to mention a few. God, not only blessed us with abundant water resources from where we harvest fish for subsistent and commercial purposes, economic trees are found in our land – Palm trees from which palml oil is got and tress from which wood for building houses and fuel are obtained. Other communities in Uzere readily give their daughter in marriage to Uruehe men because of these blessings that bound in Uruehe. It is my desire that we maintain these blessing that God bestowed us. I am appealing to Uruehe sons and daughters in high positions to assist the younger ones to secure white-collar jobs since there is an army of unemployed graduates in Uruehe he added.
