Yes. Visibility is a setting rather than a paid feature, so you can take your Port Harcourt profile out of Port Harcourt search at any point and put it back whenever you want to.

Widen your radius beyond Port Harcourt for a week and check back. DateMio is used across Nigeria and the Port Harcourt pool grows as more members near Port Harcourt join, so an early quiet spell in Port Harcourt is not the final picture.
