@nigeria.history7: Owerri did not start as a big city. It began as a small colonial divisional town in the early 1900s. 🌆 Roads brought traders. Schools and churches trained young people. In 1976, Owerri became the capital of Imo State, and the town kept growing into the busy centre we know today. A small place can become a major centre when roads, schools, markets and people grow together. 📍 Did you know this story about Owerri?
