Richest Oil City in Nigeria - Port Harcourt
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.

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.

Why would it be scary to us? Why should we be scared of your success? Can we not be happy for you? You think we all look down on you. Not true. We respect Africans. Nigeria holds a special place in my heart and I hope all your cities and villages are able to repeat this success. In fact I would even say you guys should support your domestic business geniuses and innovators, for example, if Innosen Motors is making affordable, good quality cars, you Nigerians should get your asses out and buy them! Support Nigerian manufacturing keep that money circulating in Nigeria I stead of handing it to Europe and Asia a d keep boosting your economy. You have to really get patriotic with your buying habits. The potential is there.

We don't watch those fake news channels anyway. Besides it's not looking that great here in the west anyway. We're not all rich that's a myth to begin with. Nigerians would be wise to make sure this money is going into projects that benefit the community for example, just building hotels for rich people may create a few jobs and slight boost to the economy, ok cool. But what do the youth have for them? Any place to go to do fun and productive activities? Because we know what happens when the youth are stuck on the street with nothing to do. Make sure money is going into providing good education so you have as many engineers, doctors, scientists as possible. Invest money into improving Nigeria's contribution to the scientific community. You have the talent and brilliant minds in Nigeria. My father in law was an engineer in Nigeria. My wife is from Nigeria. I'm so lucky to have her. No American woman can compete.

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.

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.

@@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. ❤️ 😃
