If this article was a comprehension question, 80% would have failed. An article talks about polution caused by rapid industralization and carbon emission but our so-called educated youths understood it as dirtiness . This country has no future 3 Likes |

"However, the WHO also said on Wednesday that the pollution data from Onitsha was not necessarily reliable because it came from a single monitoring station." 2 Likes |

"Annual means are reported as provided in the primary sources, or an average of the cities' monitoring stations were used. In order to present air quality that is largely representative for human exposure, urban measurement characterized as urban background, residential areas, commercial and mixed areas were used. Stations characterized as particular ""hot spots"" or exclusively industrial areas were not included, unless they were contained in reported city means and could not be dissociated. This selection is in line with the aim of capturing representative values for human exposure. The location of hot spots, often measured for the purpose of capturing the cities' maximum values, and industrial areas, were deemed less likely to be representative for the mean exposure of a significant part of a city's population. ""Hot spots"" were either designated as such by the original reports, or were qualified as such due to their exceptional nature (e.g. exceptionally busy roads etc.). Omitting them may have lead to an underestimation of the mean air pollution levels of a city. " 1 Like |

Armaggedon: I tell you. On WHO site, they even stated that certain exclusion criteria were used. For instance they excluded areas with more than 16 million people which Lagos would fall into and also, they looked at the income level in those cities and categorized them based on low income, low middle income, middle income, high middle income and high income areas. Based on this, Lagos would be in a different league. But the most important part is that the measurement was taken at locations they referred to as "hot spots" like the Niger bridge during high season. Comments here show that Nigeria education is useless. Our youths are not learning anything in school. 5 Likes |

Karanka: Professor, teach thyself and don't turn WHO's award upside-down. The assessement was based on objectivity and not sentimentalism and tribalism a la nigeria. Three SE cities are in the top 10 in the world and one of them tops the list. Keep your fraudulent idea to yourself and be silent. We can read better than you think. 3 Likes |

I weep for the educational system in Nigeria, even people who should know better are obviously as ignorant and as others who have never seen the four walls of a school. The purpose of education is to ignite curiosity in any individual. When I saw this information I decided to check the primary source on WHO website and this is what I found out: 1) Only 12 cities in Nigeria were selected for the research. This includes Aba, Abakiliki, Enugu, Nnewi, Onitsha Umuahia, Orlu, Arfikpo, Owerri, Ile-ife, Kaduna and Nsukka. The reason is that the reasearch data was collected from; Ngele and Onwu (2015), Reseach Journal of Chemical Sciences, Measurements of Ambient Air Fine and Coarse Particulate Matter in ten South-East Nigerian cities. 2)Lagos was not included in the research 3) only one SW and one northern Nigeria city was incuded 4) There figures from Ile-ife and Kaduna were obtained from manuscripts which were still in preparation. 5)The figure for Ile- ife is 103 ug/m3 and was obtained from measurement taken at the university campus. Note that, a more industrial city Nnewi has 57ug/m3 obviously due to the station were measurement was taken. 6) The figure for kaduna was taken at 2 industrial stations, the reason they have the high 423 ug/m3 7) Onitsha figure was obtained in a location referred to as "hot spot". That is at Niger bridge during high season when there is usually gridlock on the bridge with fume from so many vehicles. Once again, I maintain that Nigeria education is useless going by the comments here. Because if you can browse Nairaland, you can equally browse WHO website to get the facts. 3 Likes |

See them consoling themselves with *industrial base*. Industrial base my red ass. does all the aforementioned Towns have more industries than Lagos, PH, Kano or Ibadan? chestbeaters. Now they have started shouting industries, but their Igr usually proves otherwise. This is when we need Russia. hahaha 3 Likes |
