Oguta, a popular town located in the western district of Imo state in the present day South East, Nigeria, is commonly referred to by the indigenes as Oguta-Ameshi. Specifically, Oguta falls within the Orlu political axis of Imo. It is a miniature but cosmopolitan town in Igboland, sandwiched by other well known and lesser Igbo towns and communities like Mgbidi, Orlu, Awo-Omamma, Nnebukwu, Izombe, Egbu, Ejemekwuru and Agwa, among others. Oguta, on the other hand, shares boundaries with Anambra, Delta and Rivers States. It lies within the Lower Niger drainage basin.
