	Who Owns Warri?
		Warri is considered a corruption of Iwere, a term the Itsekiri sometimes used to refer to themselves and the capital city of Ode -Itsekiri.
		The non-Itsekiri members for Warri Province, particularly the Urhobo, were incensed and had suggested that the government change the name of the province from Warri to Delta Province as a way to reduce the anger or to appease people in their constituencies.
		What happened in Warri, showed that the State whether it was Action Group Government of Western Nigeria or the military regime of General Abacha, became, for one reason or the other, a party to the conflict by aligning itself with the Itsekiri establishment to the detriment of other groups in the city.

	Warri's Light-Ball Moment By Larry Arhagba
		It was an auspicious moment to launch the book on Warri, a heartbeat away from the major actors and field generals of the senseless conflict.
		Warri proved impossible for long because the key actors were too deeply entrenched in their own world and tended to listen to their own voices.
		Warri may well be the first fruits of UHS labor but hopefully not the last.

		The on-going dualisation of some roads in Warri is a step in the right direction, but the roads cannot stand the litmus-test of time if they are exposed to the erosional and corrosive effects of floods.

		It is incredible how a single word has had an encompassing effect on Urhobo experience in national politics from the inception of colonialism in 1891 to the present day.

		Warri North includes the Ijaw Clans of Egbema, Gbaramatu, Ogbe-Ijoh and Esaba but excluding present Burutu and Bomadi Local Government Areas which made up Western Ijaw Division.
