Brief History of Erohwa Kingdom
Erohwa is a village located in the Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State and situated on the shores of the Erohwa Creek, about a mile from the River Niger. It is the first Isoko community to have migrated from Benin around the 1600s.
The people of Erohwa speak a unique dialect called Erohwa, which no other Isoko town or village speaks. According to the elders, Erohwa tradition originally did not allow their daughters to marry outside the community. Instead, any potential groom was required to move to Erohwa to live with his bride.
Who We Are
Moved by divine inspiration, Gabriel started a soccer competition among the local youth, promoting unity and giving them something to look forward to. Two editions of the competition have already been held, with prizes including both cash and souvenirs.
Gabriel’s vision has now expanded to building a facility where Olympians can train in a peaceful environment. This facility would provide employment and generate income for the people of Erohwa and neighboring towns. The hope is that friends and supporters of Erohwa will generously contribute to realizing this vision, which God has placed in the heart of one of their own Olympic Throws Coach Gabriel Opuana
