In her conversation with accomplished writer and TV producer, Sidra Smith, Olori  Atuwatse III gave insight into her background, people, and desired future for the Warri  Kingdom.


According to Olori, The Warri Kingdom dates back to the late 15th and early 16th centuries when earlier European settlers arrived and began to interact with the people. 


In her words, the people were ‘merchants’ who traveled across countries like Saotome,  Angola, Portugal and France among others. 


Due to their movements across borders, the  Warri people, though small, were able to form trade relations with their foreign counterparts, earning fame for birthing the famous ‘Pidgin’ language which aided communication with their European counterparts.
