The Black Soot Ravaging Port Harcourt Is A Collective Suicide And Potential Slow Mass Murder - Kayode Ogundamisi #StopTheSoot #SootPHC #BlackSoot

A strange black soot blankets the city of Port Harcourt which was well known as the Garden City. The black soot which started since 2017 is majorly caused by illegal refining of crude oil, burning of the illegal crude oil refineries, burning of car tires and many more misdemeanors.

Port Harcourt has a non functional crude oil refinery which is yet to be restored. Nigeria sends crude oil outside the country for it to be refined, then buy it back when it is refined, which increases the prices of the refined products and places a burden on the masses. 

The residents of Port Harcourt have been agitating and pleading with the Rivers State Government and the Federal Government to find a solution to the black soot on social media via the hashtag #stopthesoot.

What is happening in Port Harcourt South South Nigeria is not just an attack on the environment, it is collective suicide and potential slow mass murder. You can not #StopTheSoot #StopPHCSoot
If you don't stop attacking Nature. No one wins against Nature.
