This isn't a new occurrence, I don't know why people are hyping it this year..
VERY normal
Didn't expect this comment to blow up, but yes this is normal.
Decades of legal and illegal oil exploration and zero care for the environment what else is post to happen?

I'm from Rivers state so, I'm pretty much aware of the angles



You set fire in the middle of your house and everywhere ends up In flames isn't that normal?
It's normal, expected, unsurprising.

You imagine the amount of heavy metal on the foods that grow in that godforsaken land. It's a highly toxic and carcinogenic atmosphere,and that is why the life expectancy there is below fifty years or thereabout.

I thought they said there are no more maners from heaven??

Add some cubes of sugar in that water and boom your black tea is ready..


But on a serious note what's the cause of this and what's the remedy??

This isn't looking good at all, imagine if the water can be contaminated like this how the air will be...

God help them.

LibertyRep:
What other evidence is there to show how degraded the environment is?

If the water could be this dirty, what else are going to say about the air they breathe.

Sadly, some people are feeding fat on this discharge that will likely cause lung related issues for the residents in years to come.

Methinks Port Harcourt residents should be gifted packs of nose masks and be availed medical check-ups while the perpetrators are compelled to pay compensation.

Combustion from where? Cars or illegal refining of crude oil?

Niger delta is gone of Biafra happened it would have being better than this.

Goodyness:
Gas flaring is the main culprit. Unfortunately, our government does not care about the well-being and wellness of her citizens.
This used to happen in remote ijaw villages and creeks some years ago. Sadly successive Governments have set deadlines upon deadlines to achieve zero flaring but all Na audio. Politicians have reduced Nigeria to joke of a country with so many laws that cannot be enforced due to weak institutions. It’s always self interest above National interest, they are only interested in political offices because of what they will gain and not what they will give.

For online trolls and supporters of evil and wickedness, before you come online to say rubbish you need to go and pass a night in any of these communities to understand their suffering. Politicians are wicked but their enablers are the most wicked and evil.

I assume you are an illiterate or a typical rivers girl who go to school just to have a certificate and end up as hair dresser , tailor of make up artist while doing prostitution on the side ?

No wonder you reason this way

We are in Port Harcourt for some interior design project, we needed water yesterday so we kept buckets outside while it was raining, you need to see this dark colored water.

The black sooth is real and we inhale it

jaxxy:


U needed water so u put buckets outside when it’s raining? No tap water in ph? Do u know the content of rain water??

TMKsouth:
This story reminds me of the time theTranscriber maliciously opened a thread about Eskom being the world's worst emitter of sulphur dioxide and it hit frontpage - meanwhile back at the ranch it's pouring black rain in his country
