Ekpoma is listed as an admin1. It is a city in the state of Edo. I even retrieved a link to a Wikipedia article about this -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekpoma.

I wanted to edit it, but alas, I just signed up and do not have rights/level to do so. Alas.

thanks. I have deleted the adm1.

Do you happen to know a good source for the LGAs including lat/lng? It would be interesting to add those as ADM2.

Best Regards

I don't have any special resource. We looked at another sight similar to GeoNames once -- http://www.gadm.org/. I'm sure you've seen this.

I know gadm, but it has a very restrictive license. We need a different source.
