the most unfortunate thing is that they could be a commoner going about their daily biz legally. To die for another person's mistake is one of the most painful way to die. This country is cursed

Most of the people polluting that place and earning billions out of it don't reside there....

Politicians and the affluent will ruin their states and nation, then go off to another sane country to enjoy life with their families.

All the multinational oil companies operating in that state should be held responsible for any life lost due to this development.

This is caused by activities of illegal oil bunkering and refining called "Kpo fire" to produce diesel, petrol and kerosene by militants

The cough is even what frightens me. I now leave my windows almost closed. It is terrible what we are facing in Port Harcourt.

Wike should publish the report of the committee on Black soot. Stop playing with people's lives. Have people not died enough in Port Harcourt?

Doomsday monger. PH is Okay, that is harmattan haze. It is black becos of the soot from Burnt vehicles and buildings up north (Boko haram activities) was blown down to Rivers state.

I wonder what we want the government to do in this case.
This pollution is obviously not from multinationals, but from illegal refineries that is a norm in Rivers State.

When the government clamp down on such activities we blame government for taking source of livelihood from people.

Putting a stop to all these lies in our hands, stop working in illegal refineries.. stop buying illegal refineries products...

The solution to our problems lies in our hands..

But will we agree


Nah..

We are not ready for that conversation.

Black Soot Increasing Infertility In Men In Rivers State

Public health expert, Dr. Dienye Briggs, has raised the alarm over the rise in infertility in men residing in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital due to high concentration of soot in the city’s atmosphere.

Dr. Briggs, who disclosed this last Friday while speaking at the ‘Stop The Soot’ Conference, organised by the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt Eco, said the alarm followed a recent research carried out at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.

Stop lying to yourself. You are not deceiving anyone.

Thermodynamics:
The people in Port Harcourt might not feel this now, things like these have long-term health effect.

It is completely carcinogenic with materials like : arsenic, cadmium, and chromium.

In fact, the whole populace of that place should just consider themselves smokers.

They're all dying slowly yet they cannot stage a protest or revolution? If even physical death is not enough to make black slackers from the southern part of the zoo this lackadaisacal and fearful not to fight for even a clean atmosphere, are these the same that will fight invasion of terrorism or even a British recolonization.

Blacks are a disgrace to themselves. Like Kanu says all they do is "complain, whine, complain, whine... then do nothing".

The House made of his loyalist. They don't have the mind to think about it. If a Rivers House member dreams of calling an impeachment of Wike, he will wake up and use a frying pan to flog his head.

If South South people were really courageous, they should be championing the fight for the disintegration of Nigeria because they are the biggest losers.

Biggest contributors, biggest losers! grin

EXACTLY!!!
The northern dominated military govt foresaw the need to alienate ethnic groups from the SS from Igbos for this reason.
FG needed to milk the SS until it dries up or become useless. FG also knew it would be a difficult task if SS and the main Igbo body are united.
Now, what has the SS benefited from almost single handedly shouldering the financial burden of Nigeria for over 50years?
Soon, crude oil will lose it's value, and the SS will get discarded like an aged, useless LovePeddler.

Last time I was in PH I was surprised that this soot news wasn't on the Hardline of all news station.

Just take your bathe step out on freshly mopped tiles before you go a few steps the soles of your foot will be as black as that of a mechanic.

The worst part is that a lot of people are dying. If the churches release the number of people that died this year, you will shiver.

No one is thinking the rising death rate is caused by this environmental disaster called black soot.


So people are already dying... and nothing done?... even the churches remain silent? Those pastors should be speaking up . People seem to be more concerned about soot on the floors etc rather than what they are breathing in. The pressure need to be put on Wike.... to get something g done Now.
