Sources that don't mention Awo Omamma[edit]

This article seems to be engaging in quite a bit of synthesis, with content based on sources that, for all I can tell, do not mention Awo Omamma in any detail and which are misrepresented to support claims about Awo Omamma. Such sources include:

  • [www.academicjournals.org/article/article1380030571_Ezekiel%20et%20al.pdf[predatory publisher] Preliminary interpretation of gravity mapping over the Njaba sub-basin of southeastern Nigeria] gave an explicit list of "important localities or towns within the study area" that didn't include Awo Omamma. The single mention of Awo Omamma in that paper was as a dot on a map without any details. It didn't support what it was cited for. Removed.
  • Political Organization in Nigeria since the Late Stone Age: The PDF is only a part of the book; I assume the "page 22" given in the reference refers to page 22 of the PDF, not page 22 of the book (which isn't part of the PDF). That page discussses the Oru subgroup of the Western Igbo, but doesn't say the residents of Awo Omamma are among them. I'll keep that source on the off chance that p. 22 of the book actually mentions Awo Omamma, but I'll add a {{verification failed}} tag.
  • The Aro, Host Communities And Continuities In Intergroup Suspicion In The Oguta Area Since Pre Colonial Times mentions Awo Omamma thrice, for all I can tell, on p. 3 as "Awo omama" and on p. 7 as "Awomama" referred to as part of a river trade route, and on p. 9 where it just serves as a geographic reference near the towns actually discussed in that section.

And so on. I have removed significant parts of the content that seemed more suited to a general article on the Oru or the Western Igbo than to an article on this particular village. Where there was a chance that the given reference might actually support content relevant to Awo Omamma I have kept it, but given the above examples I'm not particularly hopeful that just because I can't prove that the source doesn't mention Awo Omamma, it does mention the town.
