It could have even been worse if our Hydrocarbon was sulphur-contaminated. We could have been inhaling H2S since. Smh https://t.co/HDhWACT11m

This black soot thing will show you what people in the creeks of Niger Delta pass through. We're complaining because this got to the city.

I have been in a Gas Plant owned by an IOC in Rivers state where they were flaring gas near the camp of people working there.

Like your workers are sleeping in the night and inhaling toxic gas. They perceived the odour.

If we have environmental laws, it's not taken seriously nor enforced. Nobody fucking cares. It's all on paper.

And I'm saying this as someone that has seen environmental laws implemented strictly in a desert where nobody lives.
