Corn
editThis page links to the disambiguation page Corn, but I'm not sure which sense is intended. Can you help? Thanks. — Pekinensis 23:08, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Mayor
editPM News gives the mayor's name as Oshieze Vincent Ehirim, not as Ken Onyima.[1]--Ankimai 22:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I just came across Ken Onyima and deleted it. The only connection I could find between this Onyima fellow and Ehirim is this, which says "Mr. Onyima introduced the Honorable Vincent Ehirim, Mayor of Owerri Nigeria, Gresham’s Sister City." Probably just a mistake. Picaroon (t) 20:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Population
editAn article from the Lagos Guardian says that Owerri's population "is about a quarter of Lagos".[2] That would be ten times as much as the figure currently given.--Ankimai 22:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The Origin section of the article is unsourced. It was added by editor Bill edmond on December 14 2007 and has remained in the article unchallenged. I have left a message on the editor's talk page, asking him to provide reliable verifiable sources for his addition. In the meantime the section is tagged with the 'Unreferenced section' template. If no sources are provided for the Origin section then the unsourced material will have to be deleted from the article. 21:19, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Oweri is not Islamic city so take this nonsense down
editIf you do not take down this nonsense we the Imo lites will fish you out and legally deal with you Oweri is not Islamic city so you can not position women in Hijab to make them face of Oweri? You are agent of the devil. You did not see the traditional wears of the Igbos? What aren't nonsense. 82.6.90.109 (talk) 22:17, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
