Geographically, Osina falls within the tropical rain forest region of Nigeria. However, some of its village locations suffer from gully erosion, which has reduced the soil in some areas to a porous sandy terrain because the soil is made up of loose Maastrichtian Ajali sandstone that has little or no cement adherence. The town remains an area of rich agricultural produce and of business trade of the Imo state. It is located about 54 kilometres from Owerri in Imo State, Nigeria and it’s about 73 minutes’ drive via Owerri - Orlu road. [1]
