It's not a new thing na, we've been living with it tey tey...na oil state we dey like this

What is Wike waiting for?

Kajaard:


Me too. While I was working there for 3 years I constantly kept falling sick. Since my company transferred me to HQ in Lagos 2 years ago I hardly fall sick anymore. The air pollution in that city is something else.

I have been in that City since June, and I was beginning to lose my health. It was as if I step into another world immediately I left PH.
I have been sleeping like a baby for the past three nights.
I don't think I was sleeping up to five hours per night while in Port Harcourt.

Mykelslim:
I live in PH. I called professional cleaners to tidy up the whole place when I thought I didn't do enough clean myself. The black sooth is still everywhere after a day.

A sneeze in a clean white handkerchief will show you the kind of bad air we inhale here.

This is serious

I don't think it's illegal refining. If it were to be illegal refining, Bayelsa and part of Delta would be worse hit. And it's the job of the FG to clean up Rivers like Osibanjo promised

His Excellency, Gov. Wike, You can do something about this. Please do something. We do not have to wait till people start to drop dead on the road.

optimistD:
See the soles of my 2years old son. The room was mopped a night before the morning this pictures were taken. He never came outside or to the veranda.

We live in Port Harcourt and this is our condition of living. The government is not doing enough. The ministry of health and environment don’t seem to exist here. We are celebrating flyovers, which is not bad, but are they not built for these humans that have been left to their fate to die? Hm!

Everyone is coughing here.

The soot issue has assume a hydra headed dimension. The Federal Government is clueless on how to to go about ameliorating the situation. Gov. Wike isn't bothered about it because some of his supporters at the rural area are neck deep in bunkering activities.

My only regret is using a milk colour tiles in tilling my seating room some 12years ago. The said tiles have a way of eccentuating the severity of the black soot. The moment water spill on the tile and someone whose foot has the impramatuer of black soot step on it, that spot automatically get messed up.

My worry is the startling discovery that the black soot has the capacity to render men impotent.

The Federal Government needs to declare the black soot as an environmental emergency and exert the required energy towards finding a solution to the problem.

..

It's really bad

There is more black soot in Abia State than Rivers. I wonder why Abia people are not even complaining

Clonus:
How does one sleep with nose mask on. The stuff is worse at night

It's difficult but at least it's better than inhaling soot all night

Takeproft:

It is illegal refining

NewDelhi:

Abagworo:

Why don't you help them to complain?

Since them no get sense to complain..

All the sensible people done relocate to PH..

900warriorz:
Burna Boy, here is where your voice is needed most oo...come and lend it, your people are dying. Give them the awareness they need to fight the evil of the Government in your state and at Federal levels

Don't mind him he will just be bragging on twitter our musicians are just useless!

Government need to be proactive on this issue cos its not even funny anymore

Na wa oh! Man's inhumanity to man.
This is more dangerous and it can cause cancer of the lungs inhaled.
Oh! God!!! Let your kingdom come here on earth and get rid of all these wicked government.

Factfinder1:
This should be as a result of illegal refining of petroleum products

nope, from gas line. Excess crude.

malcom1X:
How much did they pay you for this. Maybe you all are not demanding enough.

Foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

L

every region should handle their problems. traffic is killing lagosians too

I advise that you get out of the area. The effects of the soot has long term consequences.

Alternatively, while you remain there, try to get air purifier in your home if you can. You will also need N95 type masks whenever outdoors.

I know these options maybe expensive. You best option may be to move to another area of the state with less pollution.

Thank God I have left portharcourt City for good.Am now in the capital city breathing fresh air.

See them, those that made up the Zoo. Someone is complaining about something very urgent and important to save lives and your asking him "how much they paid him to ask the question. " I tire for the kin people and d kin brain una get for Zoo; haba! This one off me ooh

malcom1X:

If I say you are dumb, then I must be mad.. you are very dumb and stupid

the long term effect of this thing would be maaad. it would not happen now. maybe not even in 5years. Imagine this happening in europe. Impossible

The state government is fully aware of what is going on, but dollars have shut there eyea and mouth

See the soles of my 2years old son. The room was mopped a night before the morning this pictures were taken. He never came outside or to the veranda.

We live in Port Harcourt and this is our condition of living. The government is not doing enough. The ministry of health and environment don’t seem to exist here. We are celebrating flyovers, which is not bad, but are they not built for these humans that have been left to their fate to die? Hm!

Everyone is coughing here.

How can sole of your 2 years son be like a sole of 17 yrs boy?

Fool

malcom1X:

Edited: The indigenes of port Harcourt get paid lots of money for all these pollution thing. If you are from Port Harcourt it means you've been paid a certain amount of money for this pollution.

So my question is how much did they pay you?
Were you not paid?
Did you not collect the money? Why are you now crying.

This is what i meant that you aren't demanding enough from the FG.

I forgive those who misunderstood me. I believe the op knows what I'm talking about but feigning ignorance.

MiracleMe7:

Lol , nairalanders and bad mouth.

It could really be the soles of a 2 year old kid, the black soot just aged it that's why.
