It can be quite rowdy on the streets. There are so many fabulous sites in the city although you won’t get to see them if you reside in the outskirts of town; it is the heart of the city that makes Warri a magnificent place. Be wary of roadside beggars as well they are notorious for their baseless prophecies.
