Both lecturers, speaking at the first Ughievwen Cultural Carnival,  staged at Otughievwen, headquarters of Ughelli South Local Government Area, said the trend was robbing  Urhobo nation and Ughievwen Urhobo in particular, economic oppor-tunities to sell its culture and heritage to the outside world.

Professor Orubu stated that as a people, Ughievwen of Urhobo evolved with peculiar cultural practices and heritage giving its sons and daughters a self- identity that cannot be sustained by any borrowed culture.
