Ogwa is a town in Esan West Local Government Area in Edo State, Nigeria.[1][2] It is among the constituent communities of Esanland.[3] The people of Ogwa speak the Esan language. The language of the Esan people shares the same name as the name of the land itself. Esan and Ishan are interchangeably used to refer to the same place, language and people. Ishan is the anglicized variant for Esan.[4][5] The Ogwa people in Edo State identify themselves as Esan or Ishan people.[6] Ogwa has four clans: Eguare, Ukpogu, Izogen and Eha. These clans are headed by most elderly men in each of them.[7]
The name Ogwa is used to identify more than one place in Nigeria. To avoid confusion, it is better to identify it with their region. Hence, Ogwa, Esan.[7]
