Please do. Gather as many pictorial evidences as you can and create a new thread here for it.
If you have any white cloth that is not useful to you, you can use it as an experiment. Spread it outside take a picture of it later.

The government should just say the truth, this can only be caused by one thing which is combustion from those refinery and nothing else. They should stop beating around the bush. cos it's clearly their fault

Please, any nairalander in Portharcourt should upload a picture of this soot stuff. Na only selfies una sabi? undecided

I just threw away the water that I used in cleaning my 'I pass my neighbor' car before opening this thread. You need to see how black the water is.
This thing is more serious than the way it's being handled by the authorities concern.
After every heavy down pour, the next rain within the shortest time again will be dark if you try to fetch it.
I fear for the life we are living in Port Harcourt now.

CliffordOrji:
One wouldn't need to be a Rocket Scientist to know that the operations of illegal Oil refinery's and Pipeline Vandalism are the cause of the soot, but the RVSG and FG are still yet to find out where the soot came from. It just further confirms that all our politicians are useless and good for nothing. They are more concerend about their own selfish political gains rather than the welfare and safety of the masses.


You are talking nonsense. Have you ever seen oguta gass flare before? If it has not cause such precipitation for such donkey year of consist activity, it is irregular illegal refinery and vandalism that will cause it.

Park one side with your bedroom gist theory.

You even went as far as calling people useless based on your personal opinion.

Everywhere is peaceful beside the arrests made by SSS on some PDP chairleaders like the Khana case i haven't heard of any other.

The question is why now!!! The illegal refineries have been there for a long time!!! why now? why just before this election, it is obvious that there are heavy weights that are interested in this election, the fight is for the control of Rivers state and nothing more, the battle is for who controls the state with the highest loot able amount that's all, who ever has control of Rivers state funds can conveniently sponsor a presidential candidate I suppose..... Well, those that will die in this elections should RIP....

Risks of Soot on Health & Environment
Compounds from soot - sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides - combine with moisture to form acid rain, which worsens water quality, damages soil and crops, and changes nutrient balances in various ecosystems.
Breathing the tiny particles can cause coronary heart disease, asthma, bronchitis, and many other respiratory illnesses.
Research has also shown that many premature deaths are directly related to soot in the environment. Particle exposure leads to around 20,000 premature deaths in America each year. Many of these deaths were caused by soot-related diseases. Data also show that soot annually causes almost 300,000 asthma attacks and 2 million lost workdays due to repiratory problems.

Black soot.. Isn't soot black naturally?

I'm relieved to know I wasn't the only one that noticed. I take two major things from that press release:

1. The Professor and self-acclaimed Dame who is the commissioner for environment in Rivers either did not read the release before appending her signature, or does not realize that 'black soot' is tautology.

2. The state ministry of environment clearly admitted its cluelessness and helplessness over the situation in the second paragraph, refused to acknowledge the health hazards posed by the phenomenon and offered no precautionary advice to residents.

There are so many other sad, heart-wrenching inferences and implications from that press release that are most probably not worth analysing here.

Which way Nigeria?
