The Difference Between Obio/akpor And PH Lgas 95% Don't Know About by EzePromoe: 9:59pm On May 04, 2020
It's very common for someone who has lived in Port Harcourt for many years to be unable to tell the difference between the two LGAs that make up the most part of Port Harcourt, which is Obio/Akpor LGA and PHALGA, due to the expansion of the city. Most places we know as Port Harcourt could be in either LGAs.
Since Wike declared total lockdown in these two LGAs, I took time to compile a list of towns in both local governments for anyone who isn't aware.

This is Port harcourt LGA

Ikwerres call child "Nwo" as opposed to central Igbo that calls it "Nwa". They also call land "Eli" as opposed to "Ala" and "Rumu" as opposed to "Umu"

So the meaning of "Elioparanwo" becomes evident

You try. If you're living in Igwuruta, Aluu, Omagwa, Elele, Isiokpo.. No shaking.

If you're living in Akpajo and other Eleme towns, no shaking..

Tho I personally believe Nigeria Police go still use people living in Akpajo and Igwuruta to shine.. Them go office you, if you no know LGA boundary...

Like you have said it, 85% of Trans-Amadi is in PHALGA which makes up for majority.
Rumuobiokani or Woji was never part of trans-Amadi, it's just the roads to trans-Amadi going through these towns.

Somebody should do justice to this tread and move it to the permanent site.
You won't believe what just happened, I lived in PH LGA for a year and some months before I moved to where I am now but until this moment I had always believed the two places are in obiakpo LGA.

How did you arrive at the percentages... And who told you Trans-Amadi is named after Amadi Ama?? Amadi-Ama areas that wasn't the first parts of Trans-Amadi is what you feel you can now conveniently claim was named for it?.. You must be a joker..

I think you PH Ijaw settlers, for fear of being stranded in PH have resorted to revisionism. All manner of wayward claims have been hurriedly made and posted online. You think people don't read this rubbish and laugh at your foolery.


The standard sharing formula is when driving into trans Amadi from the entrance ie from Garrison Junction, all offices on the right pays tax to Phalga, all those on left pays tax to Obalga. Ordinarily if not for that formula, confusion would have arose because of Ikwerre farmland system.

Very educating thread especially if u live in Port Harcourt. You can believe it that most persons have lived in Rivers state for ages without knowing these important delineation and it's most timely now considering d total lockdown imposed by Wike on d two l.g.a of Obio Akpor and Port Harcourt city effective this Thursday. A first page movement will be appreciated

Lolz.. first remove Isaka Town, it's in Okrika LGA, so that you appear like you don't know what you're doing.

The rest as at when PH was created was simply waterlogged areas uninhabited by anyone. The whole PH is Ikwerreland and Ikwerres do not like to settle by water so when Okrikans and other Riverine people asked to live in those areas for ease of trade, they were obliged.

Now it's a rude shock to hear you call yourselves original owner. just imagine.

Ikwerres are the descendants of a 17th century Bini monarch. Avoid stirring the honest nest where there is non.
