The port-harcourt soot is really going out of control and residents of Port-Harcourt City in Rivers State have taken to their Twitter pages to scream SOS and the pictures used to campaign against what they have been going through is heartbreaking.

The dire consequences of this issue can never be over-estimated and the government has to do something about it immediately. Who do you blame for this mess?

See some of the heart-wrenching tweets about the Port-Harcourt Soot below:

@Manlike_ED   "Port-harcourt City is the Treasure base of Nigeria and the Garden City. But Refineries (both legal & illegal) & security agencies destroying the illegal refineries indiscriminately are turning the city into a Soot City!"

@DrRRBriggs   "Breathing clean and fresh air is a right, demand for this right"
 
@MrKariboye   "We have no oda place to go n live our lifes apart frm dis our garden city plz plz n plz we need ur help @MBuhari @bukolasaraki @GovWike help us #StopTheSoot we will all die here oh......"
 
@Klaxique  "I always looked forward to the rainy season I loved playing in the rain.. now I dread it.. Look at the colour of the water. We need help"

It is a terrible thing

stitches bawo
ayam no understanding

And the north reap the benefit of the oil more than the people of rivers

I just can't understand, PH isn't the only city with a refinery...Or is the Buhari-factor?

For real

And it's not making serious news headlines? Gosh...our priorities are totally misplaced un this country.

Our politicians only care about elections, looting and power grabs. Residents of PH and other areas concerned should speak out and protest against such negligence.

Something should be done about this Environmental Pollution

Something shld be done about this, same way something should be done about zuzuari.

The air in PH isn’t this bad

To people thinking its a lie.
You all should pour water on the floor and see the colour that ll surface when u place leg or something
Na black oh.
anywhere in the house.
shit started 2 years ago.

Here you wash car and na black dirt go dey drip for the body

I see why people from that area cant think properly thats how dark their brain is too. My apologies if I've insulted you people.

You have 10 years to clean up otherwise when the world no longer need oil we wont need your land anymore.

What is Wike doing about it?

The dire consequences of this issue can never be over estimated and the government has to do something about it immediately. Who do you blame for this mess

Lolzz
Pls d grammar is funny...
It should be under estimated Instead

This is so unhealthy!

The future of kids born in such environment is 'black'.

na north dey do illegal refinery abi. Ndi ara

So, they are yet to address this issue. Despite the plea of PH residents to the government on TV.

Na wa.

Is this how lazy Port Harcourt people are? Sit down and take to Twitter while soot coats their lungs and the lungs of their children?

Where are the massive street protests? Where is the offline furore?

Nothing doctored about these images. I've visited PHC twice in the last year and experienced the soot stains first hand.

hmmm

Na so. Also blame the North for your inability to perform in bed

This shiit is real...i feel for you guys

Gov. Wike should do something about it. Not setting task force for unnecessary things. Anyway someone has legaliz kpom fire business without proper management system to at least curtail the environmental hazard..we suffering in PH here, no fresh air again

Oyel a blessing or a curse

This is inhumane. Are there no policies in place for this kinds of illegal emissions? They are killing the people slowly.......very slowly.

the dullard can't do without oil... more exploration more drilling and soot until Stupid Niger Delta accept Biafra as their last and only option

I miss two things in PH: Skippers Bread and Salvation Ministries.

I think Pst. David Ibiyeomie is the best preacher in Nigeria

Nnamdi Kanu told them but they didn't listen, God bless him where ever he is
