Settling Down In Port Harcourt by jeff1000(m): 10:11pm On Apr 04, 2016
I was on the phone with a friend of mine the other day who lives in the western part of this country, Nigeria. He told me he wants to relocate to Port Harcourt and wants me to advice him..

The first thing that came to my mind was how 'bloody' Port Harcourt is right now, although am not in PH but i have colleagues there who often update me on the latest happenings there, i also told him to 'watch' and 'pray'... and when he is fully convinced, then as a youth he ought to have gotten at least thirty thousand naira to his name, as a start up for house rent, food and miscellaneous expenses e.t.c, since he doesn't have any relations there except God alone.

I brought this up on nairaland so that indigenes and non-indigenes alike can intelligently give more advice on the economic, social, and environmental state of Port Harcourt...thanks!!

I didn't say bloody in the literal sense but i just said that due to the news of killings and deaths from the past election...if i may ask, why are u against an osun indigene?

The killings in Rivers state is just blown outta proportion by the politicians to whip up political sentiment

For the Osun stuff, I was kidding...

Thanks for the update bro, i appreciate it. But we are not talking about self contain etc, the guy is not married yet, just wants to come and hustle, 'wetin concern guy wey dey try make ends meet with two bedroom flat' maybe when ends begins to meet then the bedroom flat will appear.. he is a very close friend if mine, he has even started getting ready 4 the journey, in 2 weeks time

oyigbo will be a beta place for him, he can get 1room for 5k or 4k monthly but they landlords over there mostly accept 2yrs for new tenants.

5k monthly? for 1room? Mehnnnnnn that's kinda too much....if a room costs dat much in oyigbo, can't imagine how much it will cost in ph, d main town... do u have an idea of how much it'd cost?

Oyigbo cannot b d best bet for him cus it's off d outskirt of port-harcourt. He definitely will start regreting his relocation very early cus oyigbo is off. Rukpokwu is even much of a better place for a starter cus u can still get a self contain for same price of a room in orazi & almost @ d center too. U can get a room arnd 4-5k while self-contain of 100-120k is still very much possible there with d same federal light enjoyed @ orazi, agip, etc. He can easily access anywhere from there spending less time & money. Even when he doens't have money to spend, he can easily trek along d ikwere/airport road which is much busier & happening than that of oyigbo. Meanwhile, rukpokwu is under ph, rivers state while oyigbo is not under ph thou in rivers state. He will gain better opportunities to meet with top shots operating from rukpokwu than from oyigbo. Well there are soooooooo many reasons to dis sha. He can ask further questions. Nairalanders will always be our brother's keeper.
