Oghene is the supreme God of the Isokoreligion in southern Nigeria. He is believed to have created the world and all peoples, including the Isoko. Oghene is beyond human comprehension and is only known by his actions. Because the God is so distant and unknown he has no temples or priests, and no prayers or sacrifices are offered directly to him. The term God is capitalized in the English language as a proper noun when used to refer to a specific monotheistic concept of a Supreme Being. ... Isoko is an area in Nigeria most diversified in terms of ethnic groups and languages as the commonly spoken language (Isoko) varies within a distance of one kilometer. ...
Oghene has a courier named oyise, which is referred to as uko Oghene or "messenger of Oghene". Through oyise, Oghene can be invoked in case of calamity or need.
