ClintonNzedimma: I find this post interesting cos it brings fond memories of childhood. Warri is a specific town, precisely between Enerhen Junction (old Savannah bank in the 90's) thru to NPA and loosely, everything in between. It is the headquarters of Warri South LGA Warri South-West was carved out of Warri South LGA (i think after the crisis) and has its hdqtrs as Ogbe-ijoh. Warri North has its hdqtrs as Koko; that LGA is as old as the former Warri South. Now both Koko and Ogbeijoh whilst having 'warri' in their names are not Warri. They are different entities with the status of towns same as Effurun, Aladja etc Uvwie LGA extends from Enerhen jnc to Osubi and loosely everything in between. It used to be part of Udu LGA; the latter now reduced to cover from Enerhen Motel to Otor-udu (or Aladja? not sure again) . In the recent decade population growth has seen Effurun town (uvwie) and the contiguous parts of Udu LGA expand to form a metropolis with the 'original' warri town, prompting us to refer to the whole metro area and adjoining towns as Warri. But the point remains that the town of Warri, politically speaking has clearly defined landmarks and bounds, with its unique history and ethnic mix. Its ok for Effurun to be called Warri, for same reason as above, but originally, these are different towns. Arguably, most of the vices attributed to 'Warri' are mostly indigenous to the Effurun part of Warri. Warri itself is a relatively more sane place compared to the latter. The last paragraph is not authoritative. Its only my subjective opinion having grown up there 1 Like |

majamajic: I prefer Enugu to most cities in Nigeria. Peaceful, safe and quiet with good roads. Excellent primary and secondary schools for the kids. Houses are relatively expensive for a civil service state, but the city checks all the boxes. Especially Independence Layout, GRA/Ekulu area if you are upper class. Given Abuja, Lagos, Owerri, Asaba, Calabar and Enugu, i would take Enugu. |

goldenceo1: The main warri? Yes. But Not the Effurun-warri. Those boys have sold their souls to the Devil. |

Mystiquefia: No need to call names guys. We all learning. Way back in the late 70's when the factory was sited, Warri had a city status Effurun/Ekpan never had. Hence the name (for referencing). That the factory is located in Ekpan and called Warri, does not make Ekpan Warri (originally, though they have now coalesced) . A little research on the geography and political history of Warri would be helpful. I know folks who are natives of Uvwie whose language are dialetically different from natives of Warri. Inhabitants are 'fighting'. The natives know better. Historically, the name 'Warri' and its ownership had always been in contention, hence the balkanisation of the original Warri South. Nowadays that contention seem to be cos of the 'brand'. |
