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

It's so sad wats happening in my beloved state we can't blame only the government knowing fully well the level of illegal bunkery going on in the state,

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

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

With the level of combustion yes it's normal

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?

Na tradition now in Rivers state

Onepvp:

So the abnormal should be accepted as normal?

With oil exploration going on for decades and zero care for the environment trust me that is normal

Illegal oilrefining activities is the real cause of this.

This is cutting the life span of people in that area.

They are giving up good health for profit.

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.

We are suffering in Port Harcourt

Hyping yes, every week a new thread is created like it just started today or of recent

Obviously the concerned authorities are not taking the issue seriously. Maybe the issue is not getting enough attention because that dirty atmosphere is going to make a lot of people sick.

It is not the oil exploration that causes it.

If you aren't knowledgeable about a subject matter, you can keep quiet and learn.

The problem emanates from the illegal refineries.

I know the last thing you want to do is admit it, but it is what it is.
