PH Pleasure Park Waxes Stronger
The Pleasure Park in Port Harcourt is no doubt the oil and gas rich city’s most preferred tourist destination and fun seeker’s delight in more ways than one.
The recreation centre which is less than three years in the city of Port Harcourt avails fun seekers, both young and old with their kids the opportunity to visit whenever they chose to.
Pleasure Park enjoys huge patronage mostly during festive periods though the facility is open to all even at weekdays. The turnout shows that Port Harcourt residents sure know how to enjoy themselves.
Our reporter who visited the place on Wedensday said the park situated at a serene and specious environment with tarred network of roads is indeed a sight to behold.
Also, the place is well laid out with flowers, kiddies sections, restaurant, water fountain and, of course, security to ensure the safety of fun seekers.
An official who pleaded anonymity said, “the place is basically for relaxation and fun. It is the best place to ease off one’s stress.”
She disclosed that there is a standby disc jockey who is usually available to spice up the place with lovely tunes to the admiration and pleasure of fun seekers.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
