Kokori people speak with one tongue- urhobo . Kokori does not frown at intra-marriage and neither does it not smile at inter-marriage which enhances integration. In the first quarter of the twentieth century, Christianity was introduced to Kokori via the arrival of the Roman Catholic Mission in 1905 in Umiahwa quarter of the town; the Anglican Mission at Urhuokpokpo quarter in 1927; and the Baptist Mission in 1945. Thus, mostof the people practice Christianity ; some the Igbe religion which originated inKokori in the pre-colonial era and found its way to the contemporary era and other parts of Nigeria; few, traditional faith ; and, a very few, Islam .
