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

Shame on you for writing this. This is not the way forward in this country.
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.

If ph became a gabbage city from Wike's tenure then you are just blind. Ph became dirty since the second tenure of odili and has progressively worsen.

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.

I don't have time for trolls. Please go and take your own pictures and prove your point. No city in this world is 100% clean, so why do you expect PH to be 100% clean.


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

Its people like you that will never see anything good about Rivers people but when you ask to leave, you will cry foul, Oyigbo is now filled with indegens, Slaughter market that is now dirty like uratta in aba is now filled with indegens, the problem is due to poor waste collection, those local waste collectors dispose the waste collected anywhere without regard, the city's indegens and residents need to change their attitude about pollution and the government should improve the collection and handing of waste

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.

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.

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?

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

Port Harcourt as a city is not as degraded as portrayed in this write up.

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.

Creek Road is Port Harcourt, I was referring to the Picture, if the OP had uploaded a Picture of Creek road fine with me, But Obigbo (Oyigbio is not part of the Garden City, if you are based in PH you should know that

Your hatred to the Igbo people living in Oyigbo keeps increasing.
Oyigbo,Okirika,Eleme,Igwurita are all Port Capital Territory. Oyigbo is sharing boundary with Obia Akpor. What affect Port Harcourt affects Oyigbo

OP this your post is very misleading, there's a difference between Port Harcourt and Oyigbo, the garden city status was just for the city of Port Harcourt, as the name implies 'Garden city' not garden state.

Oyigbo is almost and hour drive from Port Harcourt, mind you I am against the both places not kept clean, but you should carry out proper investigation and inform your readers with the right information

Oyigbo to port isn't up to an hour, except u put the bad road into consideration. Oyigbo is unfit for human habitation, when it rains OMG grin

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

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.

Cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural centers prospers more than cities inhabited mainly by natives. Check some of the cities in UK, US and other western Europe. Compare it with that of Eastern Europe inhabited by natives mainly.

Come to Nigeria, Cities like Lagos and Abuja are inhabited by mostly by people from other states. Check also multinational companies, you see Chinese, Indians, Europeans, Americans and Africa, all working together. Each respecting one another

Compare it with companies dominated by one section or natives, in fighting, same with states dominated by natives, clan clashes are very common.

I love multicultural settings and institutions. Check all the United Nations establishment, do you know what it takes to be employed as a professional staff there? The organizations works so efficiently with everybody being respected irrespective of your ethnic origin. You wont see any verbal abuse. You don't know what you will do the next person will find offensive. So, there is always a mutual respect.

I love staying in company of people from diverse background than staying with people from my own clan or ethnicity or religion.

Ph is diverse no doubt
