Why Is Port Hartcourt Still Named After A British Pedophile? by mmsen: 12:30am On Jul 04, 2015
‘Iguocha’ or 'Ugwu Ocha' sounds better.

Lewis Vernon Harcourt, 1st Viscount Harcourt

Harcourt was known as a sexual predator attracted to both sexes. He attempted to rape Dorothy Brett, the daughter of Lord Esher, and followed this by an attempt to seduce his son. Dorothy Brett wrote of him that "it is so tiresome that Loulou is such an old roué. He is as bad with boys as with girls ... he is simply a sex maniac. It isn't that he is in love. It is just ungovernable Sex desire for both sexes". His behaviour was known and tolerated in certain private quarters, however, after attempting to seduce a 12-year-old boy (Edward James, who grew up to become a great collector of surrealist and other contemporary art), the boy's mother began making the matter public. Harcourt committed suicide by taking an overdose of a sedative.

A truly disgusting human being.

When fools have access to the Internet this is what you get.. Wait until you get your Biafra before you start thinking of changing the name. We Nigerians love the name #PortHarcourt.

land grabbers and oil thieves. What's your business with ikwerre land?

SS people, you see the treachery of Ibos? They are already scheming on how to change the names of your cities. When they lure you into biafra, they'll prevent you from speaking your language.

I just pity the foolish SS people bought over by the silly biafra call.

All their heritage will be flushed down the drain by ibo imperialist.

Look at how they are already scheming on how to change the names of towns in SS.

Oil thieves and land grabbers.

HAHAHAHA
I understand you 10000000000% suddenly you realize that the people of the so called SE and SS and more south are solidly united, hence the out burst. But please, ever after the oil was discovered, when have the people of that place owned the oil and oil wells? Is is not awsaa fulani and yourobbers their slaves that own the oil wells. BTw enugu is unique because she has COAL, NATURAL GAS AND CRUDE OIL in abundance side by side, and Biafra is not about oil and gas, we have agreed that if the oil in the so called Nd is what you want we can negotiate!

Any nigerian that has been to warri will appreciate my clarion call, warri has been turn to a joke by the yoruba's onesided favouring of a particular ethnic group(itsekiri),making land ownership and claim in warri for the survival of the fitest between, urhobo,itsekiri,ijaws,isoko hence ethnic enclaves like ogbe-ijaw ,ode-itsekiri etc. Even the mornach is olu of warri(olu of itsekiri). IT will NOT work in PORT-HARCOURT (ugwu-ocha - comprising of: obi/akpor lga,PH lga,obigbo lga )

Portharcout is Iboland, that's how we yorubas actually see you in the SW. Every Amaechi, Chukwudi, Wike is Ibo. Many of us yorubas know that Ikwerre people are omo ibo. We just like to prey on political divide and rule sentiments that Nigeria encourages.
