How? Abeg explain my guy been wan move in to Abuloma. He's on transfer from Ogun state
Don't mind that guy I lived in Abuloma for 2yrs, Abuloma is a nice place especially from Odili road to Okuru junction,
Has one of the best night life among towns that make up Trans Amadi satellite Area.
There's 64% Electricity and good roads, market, schools and bank.
Cheap brothel and concentration of companies(oil services).

The people are welcoming and love minding their business.
Thug life is minimal except you waka careless.
Akwa Ibom girls, beautiful ones plenty the place.
And the place get Jetty, it's a coastal town.

I interned for a major oil company in Trans-Amadi back in 2006 and I can't for the life of me understand why anyone who isn't an oil worker and/or indigenous to that region would choose to live in Port Harcourt. Sales price of items sometimes inferior in quality to what you'll find in Lagos is doubled the price of items in Lagos. This is true for the most part, except for boli (roasted plantain and fish) which is like 20x what they sell for in Lagos.

Cultists held sway in 2006, and there are gossips they had the backing of the then governor. During onboarding orientation for new hires at my company, we were warned never to display company badge (ID card) outside the company, otherwise we may be kidnapped for ransom. A colleague was stabbed on the street for no reason at all.

If you don't like rain, stay away! It rains all the time, and everywhere gets flooded pretty quickly. I've lived in rainy places like Lagos, Portland, but I've never seen anything like Port Harcourt.

As if that wasn't enough, the disdain towards Yorubas by locals was palpable and in-your-face, and I wondered then if I was in Nigeria. In my defense, it was my first time leaving my bubble of Lagos and SW. I impressed my bosses during internship and was told to come back after graduation but I never did.

woji is a very nicel area, cult guys plenty there o but they are cool
Woji is peaceful. Its a place where you can sleep with two eyes closed. My elder sis and her husband live in Woji. It's not as bad as people make it to be. Although, I live & work in Lagos, but I’ll recommend Woji to anyone seeking a calm environment with constant light.

Obiakpor and greater port Harcourt local government

Aluu is in Ikwere local government
