Port Harcourt is known as the “Garden City”. Although not all locations in it are admirable, there are beautiful place you should see. Try the markets in Port Harcourt. Organic foods are grown and sold. It may be dangerous, which is the same everywhere in the world, so, beware of the time to go out and where.

The cost of living in Port Harcourt is quite high. Therefore, the person should be financially prepared to foot the very exorbitant prices of food, clothes and accommodation. He or she must also be aware that power supply in the city is not constant. Hence, he or she should factor in the cost of running backup generators into his or her expenses.

Recently, due to prohibited refining of petroleum products, the quality of air has somewhat decreased. Most times it gets really bad to the point where there is visible soot and smog. Though, the government has promised to effect change, we are still yet to notice any positive change.

Port Harcourt City is a great City, the only downside to the city is the lack of proper power supply and provision of security measures to protect business owners and shop owners in the city. Another thing one should consider before moving to port Harcourt City is traffic jams during morning hours.

Power supply in my city could sometimes be erratic. However, there is maximum security in all the residential areas. Education here is affordable and the fast food services are to die for if you’re fan of Nigerian dishes. There aren’t many exotic sites in this city, but we do have a huge, functioning park and a zoo. There are, many malls and supermarket to cater for various needs.

The cost of living is pretty high but our top notch security more than makes up for that. We have lots of restaurants and malls. The population of the city is roughly 638,000. The neighborhoods are beautiful and the locals are friendly and welcoming. The downtown has a bustling and exciting nightlife.

Someone moving to Port Harcourt should know the weather because it rains for about eight (8) out of the twelve (12) months in the year so preparations should be made to purchase essentials such as Umbrellas, Rain Boots, Cardigans, etc.

Port Harcourt is the biggest city in Rivers state so anyone moving here should plan their trips properly to avoid getting stuck in traffic jams especially during peak periods in the morning (7am – 9am) and evening (4pm – 6pm).
