Soot in Nigeria's Port Harcourt endangers residents' health

Soot in Nigeria's Port Harcourt endangers residents' health
Close
Kalio Keturah Nicholas remembers the time she could eat fresh fish from the river behind her house in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

Those times are now a distant memory as oil spills onto the shore and everything in sight is covered in a thick layer of black soot.

Residents blame illegal refining of crude oil as the leading cause of soot in the atmosphere.

But for Kalio, it's not just a question of cleanliness anymore - the oil and soot are seriously affecting her health.

Precious Ede, the chairman of a government committee tackling soot in the region, says that the government is using military officers to crack down on illegal refining of crude oil, and sensitising the public on the dangers of air pollution.

If I don't know Rivers State I would have passed. But let me tell you something about rivers State.

2005 February 17th I bought 50 speed boat with double engine,for Bonny Island, wholesale price, I never made profit from that business,

The old boat owners saw me as a threat, they sabotaged my boat, my boat was sinking on every trip, similar thing happening to Peace motors, thousands of people still died after I held prayer and fasting.

Just Forget these people, they are their own problems, they don't want to go to school, they don't have hand work. only bunkering and cultism. and sex


they always claim "son of the soil title" . inshort most of them are wasted. every month Oil companies does cleanup because they won't work, they prefer breaking pipes

that is why they hardly travel to other states, they feel rivers State is the center of the universe

Politics spoilt this beautiful state

Odili started with the murdering of Rivers State. Those boys they used ended up as militants, the rest after the amnesty are now in oil hunkering which has adverse effects on the state

The state is finished, over 50k expat left the state in the past years

And yet 90% of prostitutes in Rivers state are from Imo, Enugu, and Akwa ibom state.
70% of crimes in Rivers state are not done by Rivers indigenes.

Then it's time the governor stood up for the state and close down on bad elements affecting the sanity and values of the environment.
He shouldn't sit down while non indigenes spoil his administration; and the state.
Anyone contributing menace in a society does not deserve staying up there. Flush them out.

They will never blame the gas flaring and other effects of the activities of their own British oil firms.

Why don't u just leave their crude oil alone let everyone use solar energy.

Blackmail journalism.
