Na aboki still dey head the agency..... they have all place themselves at the head of all the agencies, reason the country is stuck because most of them lack the capacity to lead, even the qualifications sef dem go present one year diploma certificate.

na him.. na diz guy cause ham.. E just dey test everything on top our water.. Nuclear bomb man. Why won't those innocent fishes die??

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.

Despite All D Wealth Coming From Dat Region D Niger Delta Has Not Experienced Any Development Whatsoever While D People Suffer D Implications Of Pollution

Blue3k:
They should figure out the source of these leaks. Fine who evers responsible and get them to comply with regulations.

mbakara!

Definately petrochemical wastes that are non-biodegradeble cause it.

They will just dry it and sell
May God help us.

Oil industry always infallible, how much did they pay this time

Nigeria with its fake experts
in all fields.

Toxic Waste discharge hardly
affects the oceans, its effects are
felt more in small water bodies like
lakes & rivers.

Thats how something exploded in
the West recently, dug a mighty crater on the road & destroyed many buildings,
witnesses said it
was a truck carrying explosives, but
our Experts came & told us it was a
shooting star from space.. Up till now,
we don't know the truth.

Nosdra or whatever they call themselves are talking nonsense. That was how they couldn't do nothing when black soots almost snuff the living daylight out of Port Harcourt people.

What killed those fishes are toxic wastes from one of those oil companies operating in that area.

Yankee101:
We had incidences of industrial waste being dumped in coastal cities by foreing companies

I hope it's not a repeat because we don't have adequate coastal monitoring systems

Navy no get enough personnel, training, boats etc

How will they have enough personnel when corruption is in the system? To get enlisted you must bribe your way through or know one Oga at the top, if not nothing for you.

Hiss.
Nothing good about nigeria.

ForeThinker:
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.

Reference the quote please, make e nor look like intellectual theft.

[I thought they will accuse innocent coro]

They looked at chemical pollutants only, what if it was a biological agent that killed those fishes?

It could be bacteria or virus infections that killed those fishes since only one species of fish is involved

What do Musa know about water, gates no dey again?

As in eh. If you know the budget of this useless and unproductive agency, you go shout. All the lucrative agencies, one abokki or the other is in charge. It's so annoying.

Gracealone:
This is another useless agency that must be scrapped.

You don't need a complete agency to monitor oil spills.

You need to see the huge salaries and allowances allocated to this agency's useless staff who do nothing but sit idly, play games or watch porn on their phones, and peddle gossip all day. All of whom were employed via corrupt nepotism as usual. No surprises it is headed by yet another 'Musa'.

Nigeria's problems are hydra headed and the country cannot be salvaged.

kuss:
They have systematically exonerated the oil companies

Gbamsolutely, so much bribe has been taken by these guys to exonerate oil companies. And they also know that most Nigerians are educated illiterates and as such they won't be able to reason beyond the cooked report.

Yet another government agency that shouldn't even be in existence. NIOMR is sufficient for such duties

All these mushroom institutions are created to provide government jobs for northerners, yet our politicians keep moaning about insufficient money to fund budget while they keep flushing resources down the drain. Idris Musa will move around in five vehicle convoys with six or seven police escorts, fly business class around the world all the while doing nothing and adding zero value How can Nigeria make progress this way? how?

Mammi Water don vex

I can say this is the most confused director General I've seen. How can you debunk the statement that this large number of death is not majorly from industrial waste.

1st you need to advice the govt to implement strict policies for industries in disposing their waste safely.

Secondly you need to carry out in depth investigations and learn from the people that are primarily affected by this.

Hmmm. Your comments therefore infers that Oil Companies have influenced this NOSDRA's report. Indeed produced water mostly comes from crude oil platforms/facilities.

So one would have expected NOSDRA trace the source of these toxic metals and include this in its report.

kuss:

On point. The pollution couldn't have come from elsewhere than the oil companies. They know the implication if indited by the report. Those who carried the investigation are also Nigerians and must have been sorted out.

One word. Water pollution

In my own feelings I suspect #covid19

The truth is that Nigeria's punitive measures on environmental waste needs to be reviewed. Honestly, even if they discovered that this has been done by one multinational giant, they would do absolutely NOTHING!

Well.. Nigerians have been crying over hunger in nigeria, so they should collect the fishes and fry.

This is manna from heaven, their miracle prayers have been answered.



Amen! allelujaa!!

Water pollution

CzarChris:
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.

Beautiful, why only one specie of fish? Are they telling us other species are allegic to these so called heavy metals.this is just a damage control report, meant to make everyone look the oda way while the cause is elsewhere.

My problem is, must we wait for federal agencies to lie to us, can't state government setup research lab specifically for such purposes?
As long as we continue to wait for a government that loves money and material wealth more than the life of her citizens then we will always get damage control reports like these.

Exactly.
And the specie is a premium fish. I wonder if a foreign trawler dumped its catch for some reason.
