According to unconfirmed reports, the Nigerian army burnt the boat which contained unconfirmed quantity of diesel suspected to be from illegal refineries.

However, when resident called the fire service to extinguish the fire, the source revealed that the Navy, who were at the spot prevented the fire service team from doing their job.

There had been accusations and counter accusations by the Rivers State Government that the security agencies are responsible for the soot, as they keep burning illegal refineries indiscriminately without considering the environmental hazard. However, the state nor the federal government have not come up with a lasting solution, either to stop the illegal refineries or the source of the soot without causing harms.

no be today, we are used to soot, the pollution in ph


cancer and other lung diseases loading for most people there

So what the state government have been saying is true.. It seems there is something wrong with this so called federal government..

This is a serious issue

That soot is something else, that's cancer and other dangerous diseases loading in a long term.
I've been outside PH for almost a month now, and the fresh breath is clear, hands and feet are very clean even with open doors....

They should do something about it fast before they kill people

Crude oil,our blessing our curse....

I just pity those people staying there cos no cow is involved so buhari doesn't give a bleep

speechless I swear

U are not in port Harcourt so don't say what u don't know

Ok

This shit actually burnt from 10am till this evening....

Why does the army have so many under trained animals? Should that boat have been burned? Why not take the boat to a place where the contents can be safely disposed?

all is vanity

we were created out from dust(sand) and dust shall we return,search ur life.and be humble and learn

wine isn't lying after all.. see smoke...chai

Such a foolish government that cannot dispose waste in a rightful manner.

I give up for the country.

Health pollution, distributing all sort of airborne disease to the masses and the environments.

Rest in Peace for those who will be dead after contacting this inhuman diseases.

Buhari is a cow

This suppose to be title of a book about Nigeria.

Not cool. I think the government needs to think smarter this by now.

There should be a better way to handle this illegal mining of fuel.

I don't know but I kind of think these guys are way smarter than the government of this country.

You can't build functioning refineries but these guys can find their way around it. Why not get them together and find a way to use them to the advantage of the country?

Destroying the crude oil with the boat is stupidity. You waste our resources and also endanger the lives of the people.

Find a way to license them for local manufacturing and ensure each local refiner complies with the term and conditions in favor of everyone.

If the suggestion won't work, why not just cease the crude and put it back to good use instead of polluting everywhere?

Common sense isn't common.
