Ogbom is a small village settlement situated within the Yagba East Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria. The village forms part of the Okun-speaking zone of the state and is recognized among the communities that make up the rural Yagba corridor.
Positioned close to the Isanlu–Aiyede axis, Ogbom lies in open savanna country marked by scattered farmland and rocky rises. Its terrain supports rain-fed agriculture and seasonal streams that feed nearby catchment areas.
Most households depend on crop cultivation, with staples such as yam, cassava, maize, and sorghum commonly grown. Cashew and oil palm products provide additional income, while small livestock—mainly goats and poultry—are kept for food and trade.
Residents predominantly identify as Okun Yoruba and use the Yagba dialect in daily communication. Christian worship is widespread, though customary practices remain part of local heritage.
Ogbom is linked to neighboring villages by compacted earth roads. Basic schooling and mobile network access are available, while electricity is supplied intermittently through the national grid and private generators.
