For accommodation in recommend either d/line or Oroworukwo. Though it's a bit expensive, it will ensure you don't suffer much traffic. Welcome to PH my home. Be sure to try agudama Street bole n fish. It's also within d/line
Agudama Street bole and fish, the finest of its kind in the entire Niger Delta! grin

PH is relatively more expensive with little options. It's a choked place.
If you're single, just plan for a 1-bedroom flat.
Avoid areas you'd need more than 2 drops to get to work. If possible, do away from any accommodation that would make you pass through Rumuola on your way to/from work: heavy traffic is always guaranteed there.

Someone offered you a free apartment some posts ago. Don't know if you missed it. Why not talk to him (if you haven't) and find out more. Abuloma is one mid-distance taxi ride from D-line junction, from which you can take keke to your place of work if necessary.

Security is an issue everywhere and I won't suger coat that PH is safer than Lagos as a metropolis. Hard to say which is. Avoid late nights, consider the environment you're staying, be security conscious and you should be fine.

PH is calmer than Lagos and things are expensive. I don't think standard of living is higher bar public transportation. Most consumer-goods are similarly priced except imported items like second hand electronics and stuff. Also forget fun spots to chill here. Na clubs, bars and the likes. No Elegushi cheesy

All the best

Re: Living And Working In Lagos Vs. Living And Working In Port Harcourt by kelesty: 12:15am On Apr 28, 2020
Am reading these post in 2020 wished I read it before I relocated to PH from Lagos. My view is as follows

1. Most pple compare Lagos( a state if not a country: lagosians know what I mean) to PH(a city)

2. From d above Value of rent in PH is relatively far more expensive than Lagos. B/c u have few options: in Lagos "shoe get size" everywhere is developed u can decide to drive from ikorodu to d island etc... Don't forget that Lagos State also has d most expensive places to live not just in Nigeria but on Earth. PH on d average is more expensive with little or no choice.

3. Security: the population in Lagos is overwhelming. But yet d crime rate of intimidation by anyone as omonile or "our land"( as it is in PH and most parts of Rivers State) is low compared to Lagos. In Lagos there is nothing like na "our land" even d omonile Boyz are usually from d royal family during land buying. Cultism clash and level of intimidation in PH(a city) is almost higher or equal to Lagos(a state). Little wonder why lots of companies are relocating. They will come to close down ur buss at every little success they feel ur making. They will force u to employ them yet they will sell the same work or refuse to work. Sorry to say guy but truth be told PH isn't secured ask the international community or even d buss organization. Lagos State doesn't care who u are just pay ur taxes and ur a Lagosians free to do ur buzz without any harrasement.

4. Cost of living: (feeding nd transportation):- while u have some cheap markets in PH like oilmill, okoro nd mile3 the choices are limited again compared to Lagos State as a whole: note d Lagos market is free and very competitive these pushes the price very very low. Trucks entering on daily basis from every part of d country and even outside d country to Lagos. I bet dat garri in PH is expensive than my iyanuba market where I buy sweet pinapples for as low as #30(yes #30).

Transportation is also relatively cheap when u compare the distance u cover with different modes of transportation to suit ur class, u don't have much of a choice to make in PH. Remember d days of "molowel" u can go by coaster bus, vanagon, danfo, taxi,Keke, okada. PH uses mainly taxi, few coaster bus but cleaner than d rugged coaster used in Lagos, few buses and Keke just like Lagos. Hence on d average PH is again more expensive. I forgot to add dat in Lagos u can "lap" ur wife in d molowel without shame or harrasement, my brother u there not try laping a child of 10years in PH.

5. Huzzle and buzz: Lagos can be said to be relatively more stressful and difficult where u have to leave ur home sometimes by 4:30-5am and then return by 12midnight due to traffic. Infact most times u are forced to Leave ur car and go with public transport even with d high level of road networks bridges and flyover almost every where. PH has it's own share of traffic but them they learn work for where iyanuba volks or Aja hold up dey. Hence PH has less stress level than Lagos.

6. Best place to make money:- for buzz PH is better u have less competitors compared to Lagos and u can increase ur price as u wish b/c u dey pay very high rent. And d pple are used to paying high for everything. If u depend on Salary my brother Lagos is by no means far better than PH.

All the same if u have ur own house and u have finished sending ur kids to school or they are schooling outside PH then PH is better than Lagos but if ur just starting life, wish to spend less and save more and huzzle then Lagos is d best stage for you.

Living in PHC is more expensive despite the fact that accommodation is cheaper in PHC. But if you don't mind staying in Woji or Abuloma (which I feel is a bit cheaper than D-Line and Ogbunabali in terms of accommodation), you may fare better - and I am assuming you are still single.
Meanwhile, groove no dey PHC except you be clubbing person.

Good morning, my company just transferred to portharcourt, our office is around Woji road. My Basic salary is 67,000 i plan to spend 30k on feeding( i will be cooking most of my food cheesy cheesy) but someone told me the feeding allowance i budgeted for myself wont be enough. How true is this sir/ma?
