kayfra:I can vow it's was a Yoruba person representing UN that wrote that report on Onitsha, just to bring down the city, we are fully aware of you guys media war, Lagos is far polluted than Onitsha Read what Executive Director, Sustainable Research and Action for Environmental Development (SRADev Nigeria), Leslie Adogame and The Director, Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF), Mr. Nnimmo Bassey, told The Guardian: “I believe this is the time for Nigeria to set up comprehensive monitoring systems in our cities. Onitsha may have once been polluted, but right now, no city can compete with New Delhi, India.” The Executive Director, Sustainable Research and Action for Environmental Development (SRADev Nigeria), Leslie Adogame corroborated his views, saying, “I am not aware Nigeria’s pollution level has exceeded that of New Delhi in India or that of China. I have also not come across any recent report to that effect, but if there is any such, it is alarming. Just as it is not possible for me to momentarily confirm how right the assessment is, I cannot also say it is incorrect. “This is because ambient air pollution is scientifically measured by certain parametres (SPM) using appropriate sampling devices called air samplers and this levels are compared to a national or international average. It is not visibly possible to adjudge an environment to be concentrated or polluted with SPM, unless such measurement is done. “In the case of Onitsha, don’t forget that it is the major gateway and hub to the east axis with very high concentration of vehicular traffic with mainly diesel engines (trucks, lorries and trailers) emitting very high volumes of suspend smoke, black carbon (soot) and dust particles jam-packed within a small location of the city, with only one access route inward and outward. Since WHO reference of this pollution is PM10 concentration, then it means the most likely source would be a combination of smoke soot and dust particles, as a result of high traffic,” Adogame said. But Bassey said: “Without adequate and verifiable measurement systems, any figure mentioned for Nigerian cities must be very approximate guestimates. Again, I doubt that Onitsha could have the most polluted air among the cities in Nigeria, especially considering that some other cities, such as Warri and Port Harcourt are heavily impacted by toxic emissions from gas flares, refineries and petrochemical complexes.” Prof. Chinedum Nwajiuba, another environmentalist and Vice Chancellor, Federal University of Ebonyi, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo (FUNAI), also chaired this view. “But of the Nigeria cities mentioned, I doubt if Onitsha is more polluted than Lagos and Aba. Onitsha has improved significantly in the recent years. If that is the case, then we may extrapolate globally and doubt the position attributed to the WHO.” According to Bassey, “there is no doubt that the air quality of our cities is not the best. First, the fumes from the automobiles on our streets are enough to thoroughly compromise our air quality. This is further compounded by the quality of the refined petroleum products that are imported into the country. “Nigeria needs to carry out a comprehensive environmental audit. We need to have a baseline in order to ascertain when things change and also know the direction of the change. As an emergency measure, government can obtain and further analyse whatever data the WHO has. “That would reveal possible sources of the particulates and also indicate what steps need to be taken to ameliorate the situation. Whatever is the case, we cannot say this too often: our people are choking on gas flares and toxic fumes from bombed and burnt bush refineries.” Nwajiuba, who was the immediate past Executive Director, Nigerian Environmental Study Action Team (NEST), said what could have prompted the pollution is weak governance manifesting in uncoordinated urbanisation and industrial development, citizens socialisation and therefore attitudes inconsistent with the imperative of what should be the modern society. He listed environmental challenges facing these cities to include, urban concrete jungles, unregulated urbanisation, as well as, unenlightened citizens that are not equipped to operate in the environments that have emerged away from the traditional village settings that worked and consumed essentially organic. He said: “The bulk of the citizens in these cities now reside, work and consume non-organic, but without the required attitudes, and no governance to direct the situation.” https://guardian.ng/saturday-magazine/cover/raising-issues-with-nigerias-air-quality-and-standards/ 12 Likes |

kayfra: Investigation was carried out to find out the metrics used in that fake report and it turns out that the report has no bases. Read the article posted by . Also the pollution that the articles was talking about was particulate matter. Not refuse on the streets. Do you know what particulate matter is? It’s is pollution that comes from rapid industrialization. Even is the fake report is true that onitsha is the most polluted city in “particulate matter” , it also means that onitsha is rapidly Industrializing. Let me see your mental gymnastics on this one. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Anambralstson: Look at this mumu. They did a comparison amongst 140 megacities (stressing the megacity so you know they wouldn't even look at dirt holes in the East ) based on factors such as available infrastructure, healthcare etc. It's no suprise Lagos didn't have a good outing. The invaders from the East are using up our infrastructure and not paying our taxes. Tufiakwa In Onitsha's case. They won unanimously out of ALL the cities in the world, not selected cities of 140 and they got the disgraceful award of the most polluted city on planet earth. Shame shame shame 1 Like 1 Share |

kayfra: Your link ain't working... And there's a difference between being a city with the most polluted air ( UN report) and a city with slum. Beijing around 2014 was the most polluted city. And we all know that Beijing has skyscrapers and practically no slum Take a look at what someone above clarified Do you know what particulate matter is?
