Over hyped city with poor planning and road networking. Get money,no swag,go to akwa ibom and see what oil money does. My 3 days visit to PH in 2011 was terrible,I told myself that it will take a special person or event to take me there again.The town na zero for me. 6 Likes |

Average hotels Didn't just say that.. Port Harcourt has the most expensive hotels in Nigeria.. Ask around, presidential, novotel, and the likes... Even abuja businessmen know this. Reference: |

Op... I was born and bred in PH and yes things (especially food, clothes, transportation) are very very expensive in PH. Schools are fucking expensive too. But then its a very lovely city. Its basically the most expensive city to live in Nigeria. But why don't you mention BOLE na You have betrayed us. OKNkanu: 1 Like |

trapQ: Expensive does not make them good. There is a general lack of value for money when it comes to hotels in Nigeria, especially when compared to Ghana (Accra in particular) where you can spend 1/3 price yet get 3 times the amenities. |

My expectation of Ph was kinda bogus, was a bit dissapointed when 4 finally saw it. No big deal, but by Nigerian standard it is ok. 1 Like |

So many make shift markets and the accompanying stinking refuse dumps at strategic locations whether you drive in from Choba bridge or from Rumokoro or Eliozu or Eleme junction. What makes pitakwa tick is the people and their hustle swag. Architecturally, can't point out any spectacular structure. Is it Genesis Mall? its just there, maybe some big churches here and there, nothing mega, OK China Town is new so its cool, Port Harcourt mall is just there. Some cool corner joints like tata fish, osmosis, but not so mind blowing. |

The hotels I mentioned are very good.. They are not average as you claim. If you knew these hotels you'd understand what I mean... mmsen: |

PH has lost it's glory to be honest. It was the place to be until a couple of years into the century.. |

Ph is a lovely city, with lots of beautiful hotels etc but it's jusst overhyped, nothing catchy except ofcourse the fact that the oil companies are around. Omagwa airport is really terrible and a shame for PH status, you can also imagine travelling from around stadium road to airport a distance of about 20km on a major road and you can only find one rickety bank, I really don't know how the locals do business cos you need to go to transamadi area to bank. It's ok for the locals but definitely can't live there 1 Like |
