The docile Port Harcourt youths are too occupied with cultism, bunkering and ogogoro to protest and get their Governor's attention.


Tueh!

But they are the same youth doing the bunkery and polluting the environment.
The government is turning the other way to 'settle' the youths.

The soot is caused by illegal refining of crude oil.

To stop the pollution, government would need to clamp down on crude oil bunkerers & illegal refineries...

God knows I've never opened my windows in PH since August. My AC is always on either in office, at home or in my car.

And I avoid outdoor activities.

Truth be told, if you end kpo-fire in Rivers, wahala go dey!!!

Wike has smartly permitted it cos he can't manage the fallout from the large youth population employed by kpo-fire.

Port harcourt residents are paying for the sins of lazy ph youths involved in illegal bunkering activities. Funny enough, this illegal bunkering are mostly carried out by the indigenes.

I am hearing the Indorama plant in Eleme is the worst when it comes to causing black soot.

Wike should stop hiding the report of the committee he set up on black soot and make it public.

Which kind of evil man is this.

To everyone who’s been doubting the situation of things in the capital city of Rivers State.

I’m scared to go jogging because each time I return home it feels like I worked a night shift in one of the factories but that’s not the case.

I don’t even wish to talk about how much of mess my house, clothes, bath-tub and everything in between turns to everyday in this struggle.

Here’s the kerchief I cleaned my nostrils with. Thomases there you have it, PH is no longer safe, it’s only getting worse by the day. �

GOD SAVE US! The government is super bleeped and tell me why everyone wouldn’t want to japa! �‍♂️
sorry .. but this is bad ..

So wike is just after accolades .. workaholic this and that , flyover governor etc..

Yet his people die slow.....

You guys should write to any international bodies that will take up the case because the solution is not in nairaland. I will say that FG is commiting silent genocide. If you people know the side effect of taking in such substance, your community would have taken a drastic action. They take the resources from your side to develop north and left you guys to die under the condition they created.

Your people are on the verge of suffering and dying at the hands of dangerous chemicals being inhaled due to activities of nefarious individuals under your very own watch, and you are silent about it.

This is serious.

So, what is the government waiting for to address this environmental pollution? If it was Turkey or UN that invited the government to an environmental conservation summit, they'll be quick to jet out.
Charity begins at home!

Do you think they care about what is discussed there.

The bumper allowance and effizy that goes with such trip as well an opportunity to shop there is what they care about not you nor I.

Guy, you won't understand the implication of this until it's up to one year. Get of there ASAP, or visit a medical expert for advice. Seriously, don't take this lightly!!

I’ve been a resident of PH since 2006, even as an undergrad. The first time I noticed this soot thing was when I lived around Mgbuoba in 2015 and my Brother, I can’t tell apart from now and then which is even worst. The only annoying part is that I just moved to a new place and it’s been constant mopping, cleaning and washing. If it’s even making any difference I wouldn’t be bitter — stay inside Wahala, go outside Wahala.

Menh...this is not good at all. Thank god we are blacks: out genes are stronger, if it's whites they would have developed one funny sickness like that. But at same time, take as much precaution as you can. Good luck

*Stop the soot!*

A recent BBC report states that there is a 4% increase in respiratory illnesses in Rivers State, and in 5yrs times there will be an increase in respiratory tract infections and cancer.

Here are the tips on how to survive the soot.

1. Clean your room/house regularly.

The soot usually settles on surfaces inside and outside the house. Mop floors and clean surfaces with damp clothes more often, daily if possible. This is very important if you’ve got kids around.

2. Reduce ambient air in the house by keeping the windows shut or curtains down.
This is best if you have an air conditioning system due to the heat. But it helps reduce the entrance of dirty air into your house.

3. Clean your AC air filter weekly, and you’ll be surprised. Whether at home or office, please do this for your health sake. The soot is trapped there, so clean up. Also, clean your window net.

Reduce outdoor activities if possible.

4. Outdoor activities such as morning jogging are now dangerous! I repeat, dangerous! The high humidity during early hours makes the air heavy with soot and its risky for you while engaging in any cardiovascular exercise.

5. Change your beddings more often if you leave your windows open. The same applies to your curtains. Also, flip the clothes you dry outside before taking them inside.

6. Drink lots of water and take lots of vitamin C enriched foods/fruits. You might want to invest in vitamin C supplements too.

7. Do not try to abuse antibiotics in this period due to constant flu and cough. Please go and see a doctor.

8 Ensure you raise your voice and demand action from the government, keep doing so until they find a lasting solution.

Pass this information around to loved ones....our lives matter, wake up Port Harcourt People and tackle the soot.
