On a day Aba road was completely blocked and people walking were even moving faster than those on okada.
Guys & Girls forgive me, for I can't remember whether this is Rumuokwuta or Rumuokoro. I know it was on my way to Choba sha.
Rumuola [Don't you think we shouldn't put up posters if we won't take them down :-(]
Now, this is when you want to be on Aba road (When it's FREE)
Aba road again....one of the few places people actually obey traffic signs.
Trans Amadi
Slaughter market
Slaughter River (Don't know if that's the official name of the river...lol)
The taxi I was in, was so not on it's right lane....lol
Aba Road @ Rumuola junction....You so do not want your car breaking down here when it rains.

It must be tough adjust to Naija. The city hasn't changed much it appears; I was in and out of PH during 1997-98. I'm sure there are some really nice areas - the GRA's, beach etc. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah!!!I see pics...let me go look properly!
Lol @ Slaughter River...Trans Amadi looks the same...and seeing the flooded road brought bak memories...ever state....knee deep in brown water...lol.Thanks babes!
Rumukrushi (sp?) lol. My cousins used to live there. Now you are doing your job.
oooh, thanks for the pics. I used to spen a lot oof time in Port when I was young (have family in Abonima). Boy, you are right about Junction rd with the water. If your moto break down then you are screwed.
Nice pics!
Kai, naija. My beariful, sweet country. When shall it become for us eh?
Actually, been long i saw potholes last...lol! I dread going back to 9ja..
Girl after my own heart! I will be moving to naija at the end of this year. I will be living in PH too. Maybe we can go out to dinner or something. Best wishes

Great Pix. I was last in PH in 2001. It's a shame to see the dilapidation the "Garden City" has become. The epithet no longer befits the city. It is more like Slum City, if anything!!!
Oddly enough, I've NEVER been to Port Harcourt.
I'm thinking, if the Government decides to reduce(Note not stop) looting and start maintaining roads they've built, wouldn't that help the employment situation?
I loved PH and my visits there have alays been eventful...but this is not the Garden City we used to know. Sad to see our nation's cities turning into wastelands!
Nilla this is why I love you. Thanks so much for posting the pictures. I love seeing pictures of Nigeria seeing that I am homesick...
I totally agree with SG jare, i havnt seen potholes in a while so it makes me homesick, lol.
In btw, that bowl of icecream is soooo tempting, lol.

Awww, Nilla! Pictures from my home state! Touching! *sniff* Thanks for sharing...makes me remember how much PH has changed since I left... I do believe the River behind the slaughter is called Ntawaoba(sp)River, but I stand to be corrected...
Enjoy PH Nilla!

Nice. When I am in port harcourt I go to the Temple of Eck in Rumuigbo.
Odili has really allowed that city to fall apart. Shame, cos now instead of having two garden cities (PH and Calabar) we only have Calabar.
So, when are we getting da part 2 pics or do you want me to send in da blog police to get it from you by fire by fire! ;)
lol actually i know rumola.. hehe(feeling like a geographer right now...
i was doing serious brain searching thinkin about rumuola oh... i remember the junction.. hehe.yeah you probably know d-line... thats where all the nice ph girls used to stay(dang now you're making me remember one fine bow-legged boy who used to live on my street man.. that time i didn't even have breasts oh(if not.. i'm sure the boy would've noticed me.. hehe
really telling pictures. those of us who live in Ph and have to commute daily through it's ever worsening roads know it's just a matter of time before there's an actual meltdown
still love the city though, She's nurtured me. how we go do?
