Nigerians in the South-south part of the country defied the financial limitations of economic recession to enjoy the conventional Christmas day shopping.
People crowding the entry point of the SPAR
The Port Harcourt Shopping Mall (SPAR) witnessed a massive turn out of fun seeking people who wanted to spend the Christmas with their loved ones.
The mall was overcrowded as people struggled to find their way in and out despite the menace of economic recession.
According to residents of the oil-rich region, this is not unconnected to the fact that the oil rich city lacks alternative recreational centers for fun seekers as the Port Harcourt Mall remains the first point of call for any one seeking to have fun in Rivers State.
The current administration is also setting up a Leisure Park in the heart of the city which is being constructed by Julius Berger.
"Until the Port harcourt leisure park is completed we will continue to witness this type of crowd at the Port Harcourt Mall" a resident said on social media.
