I don't need to research on it because I was part of the system. Odili boats were not sabotaged, our poor maintenance culture sent the boats to early grave. Even Bonny LGA floated her own which never succeeded. I understand that Indigenous boat owners were doing silly things even among themselves but I faulted your claim of 50 double engine boats in 2005. If you had boats then, 50 double engine boats operating Bonny-PH route is nothing but hyperbole

don't use your pocket as a yardstick to others

some have light pocket, heavy empty,

ask of T marine the cultists, I decided to work with him

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

pls run while you still can. That black soot is not healthy for the lungs. On a normal day they are supposed to fine companies or arrest those responsible for the soot. But alas! We dont have active institutions responsible for environmental pollution.

I can't agree less or more.
You hit the nail on the head.

Those guys are something else.

I moved to my current apartment in 2016.
The week i went to make payment for the apartment, i saw a new estate security gate erected by a Catholic church within the estate.
By the following week when i was moving in, the security gate had been pulled down, guess why?
The youths in the estate complained that they were not paid "kola" before erecting the gate. Just imagine that.

Another experience:
I went visiting one of my post graduate lecturers who is an indigene, i was shocked to my bones when he asked that i buy him drink for visiting him.
Who is supposed to give who drink?
And to think this is a well read man.

Another experience:
Nkporlu Junction on the east west road is known for it's bad road for ages caused by flooding. You dare not drive on that road when it rains. It takes over 2 weeks for the flood caused by a 2-3 hrs rain to clear off.
So the experience is hell for the residents.
You would expect them to welcome any form of solution to this age long problem without much ado.

But trust Rivers people, a contractor was deployed to fix the road just within the month. It was highly unbelievable to hear that 2 communities rose up against the contractor, both demanding for "egunje/kola/settlement" before they would allow the contractor mobilize to site.

Go to the multinational companies in the state, you would hardly find indigenes. Not as if they are not there, but their number is very small.
They are given slots to work, but they would rather sell the slots to non indigenes.

They prefer staging protests, demanding for millions from the companies. Cash they would squander in minutes on frivolities.

These guys are a special bred. No pun intended.

Rivers people are their own problem.

Queue the white people with their many solutions to climate change trying to make a difference in the state for a worldwide example.

Why is BBC picking this news only now? This was an issue since 2014. At least for once, them don carry last. The issue is really serious. I honestly thought I wasn’t affected due to distance but lo and behold, my respiratory system tells me nothing except the truth. A few of my family members are experiencing the effects as well as any white-hued livestock.

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

Blackmail journalism.

If they do so, you will become poor. Where do you Rivers state makes her money from? If developed countries stop buying crude oil, una go poor well well.

No one stops you from using solar and it is the responsibility of the Nigerian govt to ensure gas is not flared. Hold your politicians accountable not oyibo firms. You should even be happy a foreign media house took up the incident if not, na so so hydrogen sulphide una go dey breathe stdeadily

This is true. Black soot is a menace during the dry season in Port Harcourt. People complain every year in the last 5 years and nothing has been done about it. Visit the hospitals now and see loads of people with respiratory issues.....I'm talking both infants, children, the middle aged and the elderly. Terrible

If it was possible, I would have bought shares in Indian and Chinese pharmaceutical companies who are focused on respiratory diseases. Time to make money from the incompetence in Nigeria.

The black soot is a big problem.
Most of the soot is produced @ night which makes me believe its as a result of illegal activities. Its so bad that if you go to wake up the next day your nostrils would be black...

One wonders how the lungs would be if a night's sleep results in inhaling such copious amount of black soot. The issue is the Government is paying lip service to this phenomenon. There is no way the military/police do not know there boys with these 'refineries'.

If this is not checked, people in Port Harcourt would start presenting ailments connected to lung disease. The worrisome aspect is that this black soot is all over Rivers state...not just Port Harcourt; so the big men notice it. I really don't know how but if you close all your doors and windows with the AC on, the soot still seeps in. This is a big issue.

The big men know it but do nothing about it. Nigerian elites are largely useless people. Bunch of twats! I doubt Namibian elites can be so stoopid! From VI to Lekki to PH GRA, useless people everywhere. The same Olodo elites Nigerian youths revere.

Rivers State is the most peaceful state in Nigeria, you will never hear "100people dead in Rivers State"

Though we are being marginalized by FG we don't need their handouts to survive, we have the largest IGR in Nigeria
.

So please if you don't have anything productive to say, keep shut rather down the low seat of slander.

Rivers state can never be mentioned as the most peaceful in Nigeria, that is an outrageous lie. Rivers state and peace is a perfect example of oxymoron. Again, you lied when you stated she has the highest IGR: Bureau of Olodo Statistics https://nairametrics.com/2020/10/06/igr-states-generate-n612-9-billion-in-h1-2020-dips-by-11-7/
