Sir: The recent news report that the Okordia-Rumekpe 14-inch crude truck line operated by Shell Petroleum Development Company discharged some 213 barrels of crude oil into Ikarama community in Bayelsa, has again brought to our consciousness that though Nigeria prides itself as the giant of Africa and the most populous black nation in the world, yet, it is still riddled with third world challenges.
Fundamental is the inability of Nigeria and Nigerians to appreciate, and treat crude oil spillage and environmental pollution resulting from exploration/crude oil production related activities as a national calamity.
And how do you account for those spillage bunkers throw in the rivers and which causes black suits in PH.
And the big guns (Eze, Chief and others) who have collected egunje from the oil companies as a result of the spillages and had flaring will also give account what they 've collected.
