Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>For the people of Ibeno, a rich oil producing community in Akwa Ibom State, the blessing of having oil has turned to be a curse following the environmental, economic and health hazards caused by oil exploration and exploitation by oil companies.<\/p>\n

Activities of multinational oil companies operating in the area have led to oil spills and gas flaring which have been hazardous to aquatic animals, plants and humans.<\/p>\n

Oil spill is the release of liquid petroleum hydrocarbons into the environment, both on land and the marine ecosystem, mainly due to operational failure.<\/p>\n

Indigenes of Ibeno have lamented how their water has been contaminated by oil spills, making it difficult for them to have safe drinking water.<\/p>\n

According to one of the youth activists in the area, Rhoda, there is no potable water in Ibeno, adding that a sachet of water is sold at N100.<\/p>\n

He further stated that families who could not afford the high cost of the sachet water drink the oily water from the streams<\/p>\n

Speaking during a town hall meeting between the Environmental Rights Action (ERA)\/Friends of the Earth Nigeria with Civil Societies in the State, Rhoda recounted how Ibeno people, especially the women, suffer miscarriage and other respiratory diseases due to gas flaring.<\/p>\n

She recounted how she lost her pregnancy two years ago when she was working in Ibeno as a result of inhaling polluted air.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout two years ago when I was pregnant, I noticed that something was coming out of my nostrils. I was having severe chest pain, so I went to see a doctor in Uyo.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter examination, the doctor asked whether I was close to a gas flaring area, I said yes, and he explained that due to the environment I exposed myself to and what I have been inhaling, that my baby has been affected. The summary of the whole story is that I lost the pregnancy.<\/p>\n

\u201cRainwater from the zinc is completely black, the water that is even coming out of the ground is oily and these old women and children fetch and drink it like that, some of the water is even green in colour.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrdinary sachet water that is sold at N20 in Uyo is between N50 to N100 in Ibeno depending on how interior the community is. Most of the people cannot even afford it hence they resorted to drinking the oily water because they are helpless,\u201d Rhoda narrated to a perplexed audience.<\/p>\n

She admitted that there was initially potable water in the community but since the oil spill started, they no longer have access to it.<\/p>\n

Also, a Cameroonian fisherman who resides in Ibeno, Kofi, said fishes are difficult to come by due to oil spills as it always destroys the nets and affects fishing.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWe no longer have fishes anymore in the high sea due to oil spill, because the oil does not allow our nets to catch fish. Life is getting tough everyday because we have already lost our means of livelihood.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur health is deteriorating; when it rains and you put your bucket outside, the colour of the water will be black. You keep it for some days and when you filter it, you see oil particles underneath the bucket. It is God that is saving us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it the noise pollution? We don\u2019t sleep at night because the walls will be vibrating as if someone is shaking it or knocking at the door. All these things are as a result of oil exploration by the oil companies, it is terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, the President of Women Association, Amadaka community in Eastern Obolo, Mrs Beatrice Eja revealed that there was an oil spill in the community last week because of an oil well that overflowed.<\/p>\n

Eja revealed that the company was yet to respond to the spill, noting that the women would stage a protest if nothing was done about the spill.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe oil spill destroyed our aquatic lives, farms, crops and contaminated the air we breathe. Women suffered most from the oil spill. Women who are pregnant are affected and the children in the wombs risk being deformed,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

A fisherman from Inuaeyen community, Ibeno Local Government Area, Chief Moses Akpankpo said the community experienced oil spills in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2019, but that nothing was done about it until 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt caused a lot of damage to my property in the high sea. It affected my net, my engine. My boat capsized and I lost my fishing sensor. NOSDRA came and inspected the spill. It affected our periwinkles.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 200 stands of flare are on the high sea, it affects our crops, drinking water and every other thing we have in our environment. We need the outside world to come to our rescue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, oil spills have brought a lot of agony and setbacks to the people of Ibeno right from 1998 it was first recorded.<\/p>\n

Though the oil giant, Exxon Mobil, operating in that area cleaned it up, it found it difficult to clean subsequent oil spills immediately they occurred until they caused damages.<\/p>\n

Apart from the 1998 oil spill, other ones recorded in the state included: 28th February, 2008; 3rd April, 2010 at Idoho platform in Mbo, 13th January, 2013 in the high sea; June 29, 2014 in the QIT tank farm; December 15, 2014; February 28, 2015; March 4, 2015; March 12, 2015; April 27, 2015; November 25, 2015, among others.<\/p>\n

In all the spills, according to Dr Ufot Phenson, the President, Akwa Ibom Oil Producing Community Development Network (AKIPCON), Exxon Mobil had allegedly failed to pay compensation to the affected communities and clean up the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon all the oil spills, Exxon Mobil never paid compensation to the victims who suffered losses arising from damaged nets, motor outboard engines, polluted fishes, except that of 2012 which the company paid what they termed as \u2018palliative\u2019 to the state government who never suffered any damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was done to the detriment of the fishermen, farmers and allied businesses who recorded huge losses with attendant abject poverty and frustration,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n

However, the spokesperson of Exxon Mobil, Ogechukwu Udeagha has always denied this claim.<\/p>\n

Udeagha on several occasions had said the multinational oil company is always up and doing whenever the need arises.<\/p>\n

Udeagha added that the company provided free electricity to the host community, among other things, and wondered why they (host communities) do not talk about the good the company had done for them.<\/p>\n

The issue is that Exxon Mobil, as well as other oil multinational companies, is making moves to divest, a development the host communities and other Civil Society Organisations have kicked against, insisting that they should remediate the environment and pay compensations to the impacted communities before leaving.<\/p>\n

They stressed that it was unreasonable for the oil companies to leave the host communities in this state of disrepair after polluting the environment over six decades through gas flaring.<\/p>\n

Dr Phenson said the continuous gas flaring in the Niger Delta in general had contributed largely to the acidification of the rivers and soils which is inimical to health and had led to food crisis in the Niger Delta areas.<\/p>\n

Nigeria has been ranked among the top 10 gas flaring countries in the world, with 7.4billion Standard cubic feet of flared gas in 2018.<\/p>\n

According to a report by the National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) in February, 2023, Nigeria was known to have flared a total of 216.5 billion standard cubic feet of gas in about 11 months.<\/p>\n

Data from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, in July 2020 revealed that gas flaring by some oil and gas companies operating in Nigeria cost the country $25.66 million, an equivalent of N9. 24 billion in one month, as they flared 7.33billion standard cubic feet of gas in just the month of May, 2020<\/p>\n

However, in its bid to put an end to gas flaring in Nigeria, even though successive attempts have failed, the Federal government initiated a Nigeria Gas Flare Commercialization Programme (NGFCP) in 2020.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the deadline was missed as gas flaring has continued unabated and the people are still grappling with the hazardous effect.<\/p>\n
