- When you travel across Nigeria, you begin to appreciate how big the country is. The city of Port Harcourt in Nigeria is fast becoming a mega city and is one of Nigeria’s leading industrial hubs.
I arrived in Port Harcourt feeling really positive. I'm staying here at Golden Cape hotel in a popular area of town called Peter Odili road. I got a very comfortable room and an amazing service.
In this video, i want to show you port harcourt like never seen before. We're heading to the city's administrative district and from there we will proceed to the city's industrial area. But first we will take a quick turn to see a bit of the biggest residential area in the city.
Port Harcourt popularly known as the 'PH City' is one of the beautiful places to visit in Nigeria. We are now turning into an area called New GRA in the city. This road leads inside different upscale residential areas.
Port Harcourt is one of the wealthiest cities in Nigeria in terms of gross domestic product and foreign exchange revenue from the oil industry, most of which is shared among the 36 states of Nigeria. The population of the metropolitan area of Port Harcourt is almost twice its urban area population with a 2021 United Nations estimate of 3,171,076 following the city of Lagos, Kano and Ibadan
Port Harcourt's economy turned to petroleum when the first shipment of Nigerian crude oil was exported through the city in 1958. Through the benefits of the Nigerian petroleum industry. Several multinational oil and gas companies currently have their country head offices and operational facilities here.
Following the Nigeria civil war, the easy money from the oil boom of the 1970s made it possible to quickly rebuild the city. But with the economic crisis of the 1980s and then 1990s, the city suffered under development until recent years. Currently the city Port Harcourt is one of the fastest developing cities in Nigeria.
We are now driving into the city administrative area which is also the state administrative district. Located in the heart of the city beside the state government house, central bank, city council, house of assembly, high court and other institutions in the city.
This is the rivers state government secretariat. in here is the tallest and biggest government secretariat in Nigeria apart from the federal secretariat in abuja. The rivers state secretariat complex is a cluster of about 6 nine storey buildings and the principal secretariat which is almost 20 storey high. Most government offices are centrally located here. This should help in the ease of doing business in the city since most government offices are in close proximity.
From the secretariat we headed to the Trans Amadi area.
Trans Amadi is an industrial as well as a residential district in Port Harcourt. It is one of the most popular districts in Port Harcourt as it houses some of the big multinational companies in the nation. The neighborhood supports a strong manufacturing sector and is considered to be a major industrial zone in Port Harcourt.
Peter Odili road is a popular residential district of Trans Amadi which in recent years has attracted a lot of wealthy people living and working in the city.
Aside from being the oil capital, Port Harcourt is also known for the vibrant late-night activities and entertainment scene. There are several public lounges, clubs, dance bars and restaurants spread out around the city. In another we will look look at other areas in the city and see there some of the richest people in Port Harcourt live.

Nigerian cities are beautiful 😍
Governor Wike did a great job in PortHarcourt city
It was Amaechi that did more development projects in portharcourt
I never thought Port Harcourt look this beautiful
I must say it's look cleaner compared to Lagos
Yes Port Harcourt as a whole is organised and clean
The only problem is the tiny street roads. Apart from that, it is a very nice city.
I don’t understand when ppl compare Lagos to any other city in Nigeria… like there are 25 million souls living in there fam, it’s not easy to get it clean, it should be compared to cities in the same position, like Indian Cities for example..
@@aframaco9491 hahaha chill out fam, yes Lagos is… dirty (I dnt know about filthy) and I agree on everything you said, specially with the fact that, you build a house and the dirt coming you doing the building is on the street, BUT it’s also truth that compare Lagos to any other city it’s not fair, LA in California have the same exact problem, the difference is that they try to face it, but yeah it’s harder than Wyoming with less population
Lagos is actually very filthy and don't bore me with the population thing, Lagos keeps harvesting from the population without wanting to take responsibilities.
Port Harcourt is a very beautiful city.
When I see these videos of my city, I wonder what I’m still doing in London 😂
Come home,. Come help us rebuild,. This bright PH future
Stay there.. Save money.. When you're ready, you go back
My South South porthacourt city
Where’s north north portekwe?
It's not South South it ought to be called South coast that's the correct geographical location and fitted name.. Nigerians lack perspective
There is no cardinal point called south south. Ndi isi ojii
@@ucheuzuigwenwali1318 why do we have southern part of Africa
And then, south Africa
@@ucheuzuigwenwali1318 bro d concept of South South is simply geopolitical. D name "South South" is derived from d cardinal direction of being in d southern part of Nigeria, while also distinguishing it from the other southern regions such as d South East and South West. It's just a name bro
Mr project 😍😘 wike is working
Splendid coverage of Ph city. My city is on the rise.
looking forward to the next video
Thank you. More is coming in a few days
How much to buy property in PH?
Hoping we have more high rise buildings in the near future.
Orondah Wali. Rather than high rise buildings, why not promote and build based on African architecture? Why copy Western behemoth style buildings that are not healthy or environmentally sound. Certainly there is plenty of land available to build innovative and beautiful buildings based on African culture. Stop imitating ugly Western building models.
@@pearbear319 don't you know skyscrapers save lands?? You want bungalows that will accommodate few people and take up spaces for agriculture??
Better learn from the bests.
Why are you using phones?? You should have stuck with African old ways🤣🤣🤣 funny people
@@ebube4407 No, they don't.
@@pearbear319 Thank God you realized your mistakes and deleted the comments yourself👍👍

portharcourt is the most developed non capital city in west africa. if u think i am wrong, provide ur non capital west African city.
I completely agree with you, Port Harcourt is the most developed city in West Africa that has never been a national capital. And when you take into consideration, the entire Metroplex which includes all off Eleme, Oyigbo, Ikwerre and Okirika LGAs in addition to PHALGA and OBALGA; it becomes even more developed in terms of urbanisation, economic activities and infrastructure than some capital cities around west and Central Africa.
Assuming Edo state and delta gree leave corruption they for don go far since

@@seppromotions9335 alot to compare, population, security, traffic, greenery, pollution etc.
I beg im a Ghanaian but I want to know which people owns this city, port Harcourt?
It's a city in Nigeria
Just like Nigeria, Rivers State is multi ethnical. The capital port harcourt is owned by 2 main ethnicities, the Ijaw ethnic group which occupies the south (riverine) of port harcourt and the ikwerre people which occupies the North (upland) of portharcourt.
ikwerre is not an ethnic group but a tribe. I didn't mention their ethnic group because of the controversies surrounding where they are actually from. I don't want to start a war under this comment 😂 but if you want to know more about them a quick Google search might help
@Philip Tammy Lol ... the wonderful Ikwere people (by the way, Burnaboy is an Ikwere man from Port Harcourt) have always maintained who they truly are and where their ancestral lineage is traced to in Nigeria. Now, some tribe are trying to claim them by force, but the Ikwere people categorically rejected that idea. Lol ... they said, though we may speak similar language due to proximity, but our true identity and lineage is down South South.
The Ikwere people are basically saying to this other tribe: We are who we say we are, and not what you want us to be.
@@2LETLIVE but Burnaboy said it himself in an interview in America that he is Ijaw. I have the video
@@Bishop_Six Thank you. I'm confused because Burnaboy's father, Mr Samuel Ogulu's ethnicity, is actually the Engenni people. These people lived in close proximity with the Ijaw people, but they are not Ijaw. Engenni people primarily live in the Ahoada West local government area of Rivers state, Nigeria. I can understand the Ijaw connection. Thank you for pointing this out.
You know another thing, though? Contrary to popular beliefs, surprisingly, Burnaboy's mother, Bose Ogulu, is actually from Edo State. Not too many people know this. Bose Ogulu's father (which is Burnaboy's grandfather) Mr. Benson Idonije is from Owan local government in Edo State. He was once Fela Kuti's manager.
Bose Ogulu (Burnaboy's mother), her mother (which is Burnaboy's grandmother), is from Yoruba.
So, Burnaboy's father, Samuel Ogulu, is from River State. While his mother, Bose Ogulu, is from Edo State.
I just love history. ❤️ 😃
Show us the Eastern capital Enugu 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Enugu 🙏
You poor thing
Yo need skyscrapers lol too many low buildings
How many skyscrapers does DC have ?
Is that insecurity I'm sensing?
I’m from port harcourt and I enjoy my city a lot, no herdsmen have ever attack port harcourt we are secured back to back, port is like America in Nigeria in lifestyle,!we good
@@tydegifted9370 your blessed on Earth and in heaven

Please can I work in your company as a cleaner please 🙏
Democracy derailed coutries
It is a shame this is richest oil city in Nigeria. It looks like slum village. I am not happy with our development in this country.
