TonyeBarcanista: Dude, i watched a documentary about the oil in the Niger Delta called Big Men which was very illuminating. The issue is that some of the people who sabotage the pipelines are from the community. They do it so that they can get the contract to clean up the place. The guys were asked if they knew how bad the effects of oil spillage is they said they knew but that they wanted the money. Boy when i watched this thing i was stunned I also spoke to someone i know of who works in the oil and gas sector and she told me how the state govts frustrate them and refuse to sign off on some maintenance work on the pipelines and how they usually insist on paying bribes before they are giving a go ahead. The oil companies refuse and when there is an accident they would still be held responsible for providing compensation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_in_the_Niger_Delta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPIpVCvQEAI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KagZ76EXU_I |

People need to truly learn the effects of oil spillage on there environment.

ZKOSOSO: See logic. Just read the impact of oil spill in the Niger Delta. The Niger Delta has suffered for decades from oil spills, which occur both on land and offshore. Oil spills on land destroy crops and damage the quality and productivity of soil that communities use for farming. Oil in water damages fisheries and contaminates water that people use for drinking and other domestic purposes.7 There are a number of reasons why oil spills happen so frequently in the Niger Delta. Spills result from corrosion of oil pipes, poor maintenance of infrastructure, spills or leaks during processing at refineries,8 human error and as a consequence of deliberate vandalism or theft of oil. http://www.eyesonnigeria.org/EON_Extractives.html For more info on the disaster of oil spilling in Nigeria, check this out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_in_the_Niger_Delta http://www.dw.com/en/oil-spills-keep-devastating-niger-delta/a-18327732 |

ificatchmodeh: Which kind reasoning be this self. Read Amnesty's international impact of oil spillage here. Human Rights Impact In 2001 the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (African Commission) stated, "pollution and environmental degradation to a level humanly unacceptable has made living in Ogoni land a nightmare."13 Similar pollution and environmental degradation is experienced across much of the oil producing areas of the Niger Delta. It is important that the impact of the oil industry on the environment in the Niger Delta is understood as occurring in a context where the livelihoods, health and access to food and clean water of hundreds of thousands of people are closely linked to the land and environmental quality. The environmental damage that has been done, and continues to be done, as a consequence of oil production in the Niger Delta, has led to serious violations of human rights. People living in the Niger Delta have to drink, cook with, and wash in polluted water; they eat fish contaminated with oil and other toxins - if they are lucky enough to still be able to find fish; the land they use for farming is being destroyed because of the lack of respect for the ecosystem necessary for their survival; after oil spills the air they breathe reeks of oil and gas and other pollutants; they complain of breathing problems, skin lesions and other health problems, but their concern are not taken seriously and they have almost no information on the impacts of pollution. http://www.eyesonnigeria.org/EON_Extractives.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuqLfH1SW98

gidgiddy: Bros, its waaaaaaay more complex than that. Have you ever taken time to study the effects of oil spillage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4nYd4KSec8 |

Emycord: Guy, do you have any idea how bad the effects of oil pollution is in the environment. Oil spillage has a major impact on the ecosystem into which it is released and may constitute ecocide. Immense tracts of the mangrove forests, which are especially susceptible to oil (mainly because it is stored in the soil and re-released annually during inundations), have been destroyed. An estimated 5 to 10% of Nigerian mangrove ecosystems have been wiped out either by settlement or oil. The rainforest which previously occupied some 7,400 km² of land has disappeared as well. Spills in populated areas often spread out over a wide area, destroying crops and aquacultures through contamination of the groundwater and soils. The consumption of dissolved oxygen by bacteria feeding on the spilled hydrocarbons also contributes to the death of fish. In agricultural communities, often a year's supply of food can be destroyed instantaneously. Because of the careless nature of oil operations in the Delta, the environment is growing increasingly uninhabitable. People in the affected areas complain about health issues including breathing problems and skin lesions; many have lost basic human rights such as health, access to food, clean water, and an ability to work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_in_the_Niger_Delta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e3_bkKwgQY |
