Most of the Mein live along the Forcados River in Burutu and BomadiLocal Government Areas[7] of Delta state, with Kiagbodo as the most conspicuous settlement. As indicated[8] by Mein customs, the eponymousprogenitor, Mein lived at Benin and moved to Aboh to keep away from wars. He then left Aboh because of contentions, and settled at Ogobiri in the Sagbama – Igbedi brook (present-day Bayelsa state[9]). It was from here that further developments happened for the most part because of questions and over-populace, prompting displacements toward the western Delta.[10][11]
