Port Harcourt has been a garbage city from the days of Peter Odili. People that haven't lived or travelled there will blame the current Governor, Wike 1 Like 1 Share |

Thank God Lagos APC has not managed their waste. So haters of Wike projects should process out from here |

maasoap:He is not completely wrong. The way the news was reported would make it seem as if Port Harcourt is the dirtiest city in Nigeria, which is clearly false. Sure some areas may be dirty, but calling it "Garbage City" is extreme exaggeration and out of line. Then again, I think the report is just a radical attempt at ensuring that something is done quickly to ensure every part of Port Harcourt becomes as clean as it should be. |

Ekinematics: PH had being dirty since 1995 when I first came to PH, that was when they lost the status of a Garden city, so dont blame Wike, they all have failed to maintain the status, PH needs a comprehensive waste disposal policy. 1 Like |

MXrap:This is the Mediocrity which politicians exploit in Nigerians , what is the duty of the Govt if not to provide basic roads ,infrastructures. They don't need applaud if they do that . Gaddafi of Libya once said that his parents will sleep outside until all Libyans have roof over their heads . Can any of these Wicked thieves from President to Governors make such declaration . YOU were lucky to be snapping inside your car cos if you stepped outside to be a photographer at MILE 1 even by 5pm , you will have a different story to narrate . DEVELOPMENT of a locality cuts across every facets 1 Like |

nengibo: Why won't he leave? Unless something supernatural circumstance is holding him back there. I have seen a man who goes back to his town after two years of tourist life in 5 countries abroad. He gathers his certificates, international passport which he had just renewed for his next trip including other documents and set fire on them because he thinks there's no place like home. He now enjoys various supernatural miracles which includes lighten strikes, people correcting his formal way of life which seem so not simple and the promises of women and better things. He is stunned and amazed by all the experience and this has solidified his faith in God. |

gare: Naa, as of 1995 PH was cleaner and saner than 98% of Nigerian cities. We know it's dirty now, but please don't exaggerate. As of 1995 almost all the Rumus were still villages with bushes covering everywhere. Then there was nothing like hip of garbage on the center of the roads, nothing like bottle water or pure water. Ph then was 95% Rivers indigenes, not now that it's filled with Nigerians from every part of the country especially SE peeps looking for a better life. It was clean and nice then. Not now. |

Don't mind the idiot, he could be one of those that gets Wike to pay his house rent, sponsor his marriage, pay hospital bill when his wife delivers, sponsor his mother's burial, sponsor his father's burial....etc there are lots of his kind in Rivers State. They can never see anything wrong in this government. KingKingKing: 1 Like |

nengibo: The waste management in our dear ph has been nonexistent in the last 18 years. Everything is politics in Rivers state. What does Felix Obuah know about waste management that Wike had to give him the contract? |

Ekinematics: I am not Exaggerating, is Diobu not part of Port Harcourt City, I am not talking of the Rumus. |
Re: How Port Harcourt Went From Garden To Garbage City by Nobody: 8:34am On Nov 28, 2018 |
gare: As of 1995 it was more serene than 98% of Nigerian cities, but presently even in the SS PH doesn't rank in the top 5 cleanest cities, not to talk of Nigeria as a whole. |
Re: How Port Harcourt Went From Garden To Garbage City by gare(f): 8:36am On Nov 28, 2018 |
Ekinematics: I just asked you a question? is Diobu not part of Port harcourt then ? |
Re: How Port Harcourt Went From Garden To Garbage City by Nobody: 8:38am On Nov 28, 2018 |
gare: Like I said earlier, even with Diobu, ph was cleaner than 98% of Nigerian cities then. Every city in Nigeria has its dirty area then and even now. 1 Like |

Ekinematics: No, you are wrong on that, I disagree with you, when I said 1995, the place I meant was Diobu because that was the first place I resided whi;le processing my admission in Uniport when i first came into the city, so i know what I am talking about |

Re: How Port Harcourt Went From Garden To Garbage City by Nobody: 8:49am On Nov 28, 2018 |
gare: I believe you know that ph is not made of Diobu alone? Put on your thinking cap and understand me. Even in NY today there are places that are dirty. What I'm giving you is a holistic view of the entire city, not a section. |

Ekinematics: Lol I was born an raised in ph of course its multi ethnic but go an tip sand and say you want to start something and see how the locals will come out |
Re: How Port Harcourt Went From Garden To Garbage City by AnthonyAk(m): 5:05pm On Nov 28, 2018 |
nengibo: Ph is garbage, I might as well be an indigine as I was born an raised there. Garbage is the least of our worries, the locals never want anything good, always want something for nothing in the name of community. I just call it how I see it, it's been in steady decline for 20 years Atleast goto lagos and you see change. PH is Warri 2.0 all one needs to do is scratch the surface just a little bit |

MXrap: I know you are a troll when your posting hotel presidential and said it's wike lol Had you just turnt your camera to the right the abandoned mall, half completed for over a decade is right there. Another type of garbage in ph, empty half completed structures. If you posted the fly over at Odili road, or the garrison to elelenwo road those are much better examples of wike. Wike is working, he is the best thing to happen to that state but you haven't snapped any of wikes works. |
