I wish government would just put on some big boy pants and really help these communities fight toxic waste. It’s appalling to see foreign companies dump toxic wastes anyhow 31 Likes 2 Shares |

donbachi: Exactly. Quite unfortunate “He recommended that the country should pay more attention to the activities of those illegally carrying out fishing in our territorial waters to guard against possible dumping of wastes as well as unwanted aquatic species. (NAN)“ Na today? 7 Likes

Interesting, but I beg to differ. If you're talking about high toxicity levels, due to the presence of heavy metals such as chromium and copper. not to talk of high cadium presence in the tissues of they got from the fishes. Then why is it mainly only one specie of fish is mainly being affected. 21 Likes |

Quite terrible! The toxicity is also affecting humans and the residual effect would be evident in few years to come |

There are two types of people you will meet in your life. One will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that peak their interest. The other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and maybe unfold corners of you that inspired them most. You will meet these two people; it is a given. It is the third that you’ll never see coming. That one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book. 2 Likes 2 Shares

Industries capable of producing such wastes are not located in the Niger Delta area. They just jumped into conclusion,with the hope of killing the matter. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I thought as much, any chemical or toxic waste capable of killing a fish could cause serious harm to human too. Thank God there have not been reports of sickness or death in that region since then |

These heavy metals are all components of produced water. Oilfield produced water contains heavy metals such as mercury and lead, as well as metalloids such as arsenic, in varied concentrations depending on formation geology and age of the well. Metal concentrations in produced water are usually higher than those found in sea water. The most commonly studied metals are Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, Ag, and Zn. Produced water contains other trace metals including Al, B, Fe, Li, Mn, Se, and Sr. Certain metals are of particular environmental concern as they may bioaccumulate and/or be toxic. Just kwantinue, till una scatter all the coastal communities finish. 2 Likes |

Hmm And I heard people travelled all the way from Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi and Abia to pack the fish. There is indeed hunger and poverty in land. |
