The people of Okeene are the native speakers of the language
Ebira. The native people are called Ebiras and the other minor language group
within the same central senatorial district are the people Ogori Known as
Ogorians.
Ebira is a word in Ebira language which means behaviour, and
the word behaviour without any adjective is considered as positive. It is
believed that the Ebiras are people of good character, so they were given the
name by other tribal group.
Ebiras live within the valleys of Okeene. Each community
live in social group surrounded by mountains. The people have a culture of
social co-existence, so they live condensed within a geographical area.
