The okpe clan live in the delta province.During the fifteenth century,the Portuguese traders introduced Christianity into the Niger Delta by way of Warri and Benin city and its influence made itself felt throughout the area.
Some chiefs have been greatly influenced by robes worn by missionary priests.These in course of time were taken as a pattern and adapted for ceremonial wear.Even the gold bead crown the orodje is wearing owes its origins to the baretta.The Okpe clan is part of the Urhobo Tribe.
