"the most beautiful females in nigeria"? seriously needs to be rewarded. not only is in POV, it makes them sound like livestock. -- preschooler @ heart my talk - contribs 06:35, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
This entire article is extremely biased and does not back up a lot of claims with sources. Seriously, did an aide for the mayor of Port Harcourt write this? -- JOK3R 17:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Port Harcourt has no mayor. That dude is only a local government chairman but chooses to go by that made up title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.150.50.100 ( talk) 21:05, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
@ Jamie Tubers:, there's a difference between Port Harcourt metropolis and Greater Port Harcourt. Port Harcourt Metropolis is made up of two local government areas Port Harcourt local government area and Obio-Akpor while Greater Port Harcourt is composed of 8 local government areas. The population of Port Harcourt metropolis is that of Port Harcourt local government area and Obio-Akpor while that of Greater Port Harcourt is the population of all 8 local government areas. The Port Harcourt urban area is the Port Harcourt metropolis while the metropolitan area is the Greater Port Harcourt. Please read the Geography section of this article for more information.

The claim that Port Harcourt is an Igbo city is a false claim. The city of Port Harcourt located in Rivers State consists of 3 indigenous tribes namely: Ikwerre, Ogoni, Kalabari. The reason why Port Harcourt is considered an Igbo city is because some scholars consider the Ikwerre people as an Igbo sub-group. But the Ikwerre people have denied any claim of them been an Igbo sub-group. So the Igbo name in Port Harcourt should be removed, the Indigenous people of Port Harcourt are not Ibos.

Wikipedia is supposed to tell the truth. The Ikwerre clan denied been Igbo sub group. Michaelgodstimeake ( talk) 23:57, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
I have links to prove it to you and I will prove it to you from the official Ikwerre people website. Michaelgodstimeake ( talk) 23:58, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
Port Harcourt does not have a native name and there are bo beaches with white sand as claimed. Iguo ocha or ugwu ocha is just an igbo phrase that it is a white man's land owing to the presence of early presence of the white man. It's is also an attempt to belittle the Rivers Man and to undermine his origin. I have lived in port harcourt over 40 years and the phrase only emanated a few years back mainly by pro biafran groups to tell the world that the people of Rivers State don't have an identity and fall under the Igbo nation Henry urombo ( talk) 13:50, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

The same goes for this part: " Prostitutes who operate out of these red-light districts mainly fall in the 18-30 age bracket and may charge as high as ₦25,000 a night, if not more" you should overlook this passage to be in line with wikipedia's regulations Partysan ( talk) 07:26, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
