[[British colonial]] administration was carried out through local chiefs like Nana Olomu of Ebrohimi in [[Benin River]]. This administration was effectively restricted to Benin River and its environs as the [[British Empire|British]] were content with conducting [[trade]] with the people of the [[hinterland]]s through the [[Itsekiri people|Itsekiri]] as [[Intermediary|middlemen]]<ref>Lloyd, P.

In order to achieve this, the British in 1906 took a [[lease]] of a new trading station opened in 1898 on [[virgin land]]s for Alexander Miller Brothers Limited of Liverpool at the mouth of the Okere Creeks. This new [[trading station]] was also named WARRI after the capital Ode-Itsekiri so the Itsekiris dubbed Ode-Itsekiri BIG WARRI in order to differentiate Ode-Itsekiri from the new trading station.<ref>Jones, G.

The dry season lasts from about November to April and is significantly marked by the cool "harmattan" dusty haze from the north-east [[trade winds]]. The rainy season spans May to October with a brief drier spell in August, but it frequently rains even in the dry season.
