They speak the Ogba language.Aligu-Alinso okanu is an Ogba clan. The Egi group comprises seventeen communities with a rich history of Nature resources. A study conducted in Ogbogu located in one of the largest oil producing regions of Nigeria has utilized two plant species to clean up spills. The first stage of cleanup involves Hibiscus cannabinus.The area has produced prominent sons and daughters, including Chief Josiah Anukwu (HRH Eze Egi Etiti One of Ogba Land, Chief G U Ake (South - South and Rivers State PDP Chairman), Wilson Asinobi Ake (Senator for Rivers West), ,Chief Oris Onyiri (FMR PDP State secretary), Engr B.E Ojum (Fmr EDP NDDC), Chief Shadrack Akolokwu (NDDC Board member), HRM Dr Kingdom Elemchukwu Elenwa, (Eze Egi of Ogba Land) chief Isaac Agilebu (igwurugu ome) and many othersAli-Ogba, (Ogba Kingdom) is an Ethnic group which main spoken language is called (Ogba Dialect) comprises the Egi and Igburu Section. they both speak one dialect with little difference with each other, having a combine population of about 280,000 people. It is located in the central Orashi-Sombreiro plains of Rivers State, Nigeria, is one of the major producers of the CRUDE OIL that fuels Nigeria’s economic development in recent decades. According to current oil company records, no local government in Nigeria produces as much crude oil and gas as the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA) local government (Ellah 1995)As a result of the oil industry, Ali-Ogba(Ogba Kingdom) has undergone significant political, social, economic and environmental changes during the past several decades. However, despite its image as one of the main contributors to the wealth of Nigeria, there is a lot of poverty in many communities resulting from unemployment, under-employment, low wage jobs and deterioration of the natural resource base.At the same time that Ali-Ogba makes very significant contributions to the country’s economy, this oil producing area has remained economically marginalized and left in the backwaters of the country’s socio-economic and political development. This poses dilemmas for Ali-Ogba people. For example, while the oil industry in Ali-Ogba creates jobs and wealth, these benefits are not equally accessible to many Ogba people and many other Rivers state communities, compared to other Nigerians. This state of affairs in the oil producing communities of Rivers state prompted the Governor, Dr. Odili to speak out this past February urging oil firms to stop giving employment to non-natives at the expense of the indigenes of the areas of their operation. In the Governor’s own words:(Ellah 1995)".
