Its name is also used for the Native Administration group formed from Ohoba, Umuakpo and the Riverain Igbo group Awarra.
Ohoba is entered as a clan rather than a group.
Ohoba also gives its name to a Native Administration political group made up of Ohoba itself, Umuakpo and Awarra, a Riverain Igbo group listed elsewhere. That administrative union, rather than any common descent, is the only wider association recorded for Ohoba.
