beautiful southwest get electricity sha

electricity indeed.

Paulpaulpaul:
South-west really value electricity than others.

u don't even know where south west is located on the map. What u saw is light from gas flaring mostly in south south.

Bright coloured light from gas flaring in the niger delta. Some brainless people say its electricity from south west

I doubt if we are looking at the same map here. Zoom in and rephrase your statement.

Besides Lagos, I see no other illuminated south-western abode.

Majority of the illumination comes from the South - South and South-East!

Most of the intense lighting are from ships/ocean vessels along the shoreline.

Off shore? Doesn't that tells you something? Those lights are freaking gas flaring! Well i see you are happy despite your environment is getting polluted because it puts some lights on NASA map . Make sense!

The person that raised the issue of gas flaring as the reason for the illumination of S.south, S.east & offshore is only being smart by half! Have you seen a deep offshore oil platform before? It is not necessarily gas flaring, Bonga deep sea oil platform is like kaleidoscope of complex lights of varied colours! The same applies for oil terminals & plants like LNG in Bonny island. Now do you also ascribe the illumination of Onitsha/Asaba region & Lagos areas to gas flaring?? My brother, this has everything to do with economic activity & production more than anything else!!!

Come shay you dey dey mas-turbate? PM me make I dey help you dig that pit well well

Buhari can only be president in Sambisa and shekau would hand over to him.

Correct!

Most of the light you see in the south are gas flaring and lighten by oil companies for host communities

AkinEgba:


The map does not say so. Look at SE and SW. There are no gas flaring in both. Now compare.

look properly. see Yenagoa for example. Yenagoa is closer to brass and brass is the at the shore of the Atlantic ocean. after brass you see gas flaring on the ocean. there is a lot of gas flaring on the land too. check the image

If its about population, the north is more populated now! We talking pictures here o. I mean snap shots. How can NASA differentiate from space between those pple that are going about their economic business and those that are not?

Again it is taken at NIGHT. Are you saying all this lights are depicting witches and vampires?

It is not JUST about population density. Ten thousand people in an industrialised town will be visible where a million people living spread out in small non industrialised farming communities will not. In smaller countries with similar conditions and demographics over the entire country different inferences will be drawn from a photo like this than you would make from a much larger country with different human demographics and geographical conditions in its regions.
