| | 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. |
