People that haven't been to PH in their life writing trash about Port Harcourt. Some don't even know the difference between Port Harcourt and Rivers State, but they'll be the first to give advice. There's never in the history of Nigeria that Lagos has been safer than Port Harcourt. Look at the crime rate statistics before you get misinformed by the trash most people have been brain washed with by political media here. I'd advice you look for a house in D-Line

Transportation fare is not costly in PH. You can get a one bedroom around ADA George @ 180, 2 bedroom @ 300k-350k. T fare from ADA GEORGE to DLINE is #300 to and fro, some 200 if you combine Taxi and Danfo

Port Harcourt is not a large city as Lagos hence you can get to work from any part of the city to D-Line in less than 20 minutes using a bike.
Re: Living And Working In Lagos Vs. Living And Working In Port Harcourt by Nobody: 12:36pm On Jan 06, 2017
OP.
There is no place you cannot stay no matter how insecure it is. Just play by the rules. 16 yrs in Lagos and presently staying in Port Harcourt (over ten years now) Each area has its own peculiarities and challenges. For me, Dline will be fine for you. Just avoid late nights and local joints.

@140k men with families are living and surviving in PHC, It all depends on what YOU want.
PHC is not cheap at all in any way when you compare it with LOS especially the transportation.
However, since your work station is at D-line, you can check out the houses around NTA,Adageorge,Iwofe,Mugboba Rumukwuta Road etc axis.
You can get 2 bedroom in these axis between 300 to 400k. 1 bedroom around 200k-250k.
Woji is another fine and secured neighborhood, but a bit expensive .

Good Luck

Seriously, my writeup wasn't provoked by hatred. I have family and friends living there and I know how many times I beg them everyday to move elsewhere.

The things youths do in PH can make the devil shout Blood of Jesus!

Brother, in terms of house rent, it is relative (both in Lagos and Port Harcourt).
I know that in Lagos house rent is on the high side even when the house and.or apartment is nothing to write home about. The agent fee, agreement which they will never make available and one annoying thing they call *damage/caution fee*. Lagos is a very dangerous terrain. Thieves here and there. Agbero everywhere, unnecessary disturbances.. Insecurity is still very high here...

youths, here, in Lagos do worse things than what is seen in Port Harcourt...
Satan has even relinquish his position to them - the youths in Lagos

Fratermathy and haske7, God punish the two of you.

Land is the centre of gangsterism, PH is cool and easy and livable. OP i suggest you live within Dline or Ogbunabali, it will save you stress and time. PH is kul.

Re: Living And Working In Lagos Vs. Living And Working In Port Harcourt by Nobody: 3:13pm On Jan 06, 2017
Please it all depends on you and what you are going for. D/line is a very nice place to be though expensive. A good seren for anything, be it work, relaxation or child rearing if you can afford it. Well structured (the 1st GRA in PH). Mostly built by whites.

The challenge is the difficulty in securing an apartment there because it has more official buildings than living apartments.

It's at the center of port Harcourt township, very close to the market (Mile One), government house(port harcout mall), State Judiciary, Issac Boro Park, etc. All these mentioned places are just a matter of 'a drop', which might not be same from other areas being suggested ; except Ogbunabali, whch is across the tard, just opposite or garrison.

Lived there for years and enjoyed it.
Note that a lot of touts disguise and live within houses, but don't be scared because they only monitor people b4 acting. That was why I said that it all depends on you and your purpose. Mind your job.

It might interest you to note that Ogbunaba, which is the nearest...

I rest my case.
Don't even know whether opp will see or read my post.
Bye for now.

All I know is this: Port Harcourt is insecure and highly volatile. Just because you have no experience doesn't mean people are not dying daily in Ikwerre, ObioAkpor, Oyigbo, Eleme, etc, LGAs. Na God de protect person.

Im not saying Lagos is safe. Lagos is far from safe. However, insecurity is much higher in PH tank Lagos.
you don't know PH or Lagos too well.

All I know is that Port Harcourt is not as safe as Lagos. Lagos has its own share of insecurity but that of PH is on a whole different level entirely. Cultism, gangsterism, robbery, violence etc, are far too much.

As for cost of living, it all depends on the area you intend staying. Generally though, houses in Port Harcourt are more expensive than houses in Lagos (except highbrow areas).

Cost of living is higher in PH than Lagos.

For sure u don't live in PH and may be have not been there b4
As far as Nigeria is concern, Lagos is only safer than borno and eviron do not be decieved

Extremism:
Good morning All,

I currently live and work in Lagos. While I live in Surulere, I work on the Island and I earn about 140k monthly. I have just been transferred to Port Harcourt effective immediately but before I set out, I will like to get information as to whether it is a good move which will be favourable for me in terms of difference between cost of living in Lagos and Port Harcourt as well as cost of accommodation. Thirdly, for a person whose office is on D-Line, what areas will be advisable to get a suitable accommodation in Port Harcourt that won't take me up to 20 minutes to get to the office.

Please I need your inputs to help me plan my movement. Thanks.

Lalasticlala and Co., help your guy move this post to the promised land and in this new year, God shall move you to the promised land. Thank you.
