Stop this soot in Port Harcourt

We can't remain silent anymore, people living in Port Harcourt City in Nigeria are facing possible environmental epidemic with a certain black soot that is covering the city. Even babies can tell that the air of the city is hazardously polluted. This mass of impure carbon particles called soot is known to cause cancer and lung disease, otherwise the second-biggest human cause of global warming. Port Harcourt City has been under the siege of this mass of impure carbon particles seen November of 2016 and the so-called leaders with their arms akimbo are telling the people to help them seek out who is responsible. The health of the people inhaling this poisonous substance is not considered at all. A few people decided to sensitize the public with instructions on how to survive this possible epidemic and they are being labeled 'anti-government'.

This stupid behaviour of clueless leaders in out country must stop. We must ensure our so-called prioritize human health and safety. Personally, I can no longer tolerate the nonchalant attitude and misplaced priorities displayed continuously by elected leaders. The people provide their water, energy and their healthcare. They only ask the government to provide security of lives and property.

What is happening in Port Harcourt is just one of the instances of misplaced priorities of elected leaders. They will spend, loot and fight each other over 'bedroom allowance' but will totally ignore a very obvious ranging epidemics.This nonsense must stop. I wiped my sweating face with my white handkerchief and men I was angering, my face was dark. I went into a public office, a GTB bank, gosh, the upper part of the walls and everything sitting up there were all dark and you ask us not to cry out. This must stop. Below are some of the shots I took with my phone. Behind my office at Trans Amadi, it is not rain clouds but clouds of soot. #StopTheSoot
