Is Port Harcourt Easy to Navigate Without a Car?
i just arrived here this morning with a rental car that feels like a relic, its tires squeaking on asphalt that smells faintly of diesel and regret. i scroll past apartment blocks barely touching the skyline, a single red light glowing like a heartbeat, and wonder how many hours would it take to find a place that doesn’t feel like a trap. port harcourt isn’t a mistake, but also not a solution-more like a long walk to the next problem. here’s the truth: getting around here isn’t just possible, it’s a dance with bureaucracy, luck, and the occasional scream from a taxi that knows your name.
