Owerri is beautiful and has lots of hotels. It is a very small city with lots of tall buildings. It is safe to drive at night because the security is very tight. It has three federal schools, and has a nice airport.
Someone moving to Owerri should know it is not advisable to move about my city at night. This is because people who prefer stealing from civilians operate at night and perform all manner of inhuman and irresponsible acts.
