Niger Delta's Nightmare: The Cost of Oil Exploration on Fishing Communities
The article discusses the impact of a devastating oil spill from a wellhead operated by Aiteo Eastern Exploration and Production Company on the Santa Barbara River in Nembe, Nigeria. The spill has severely affected the local fishing communities, leading to a drastic reduction in fish catch and economic hardship. The environmental pollution has also resulted in health risks and cultural dislocation among the indigenous Nembe people. Despite regulations requiring prompt reporting and response to spills, the Santa Barbara spill was reported late, and the cleanup has been inadequate. The National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) and the Environmental Rights Action (ERA) have been involved in assessing the situation, but there are discrepancies in the reported causes and consequences of the spill. The article highlights the broader issues of environmental justice, regulatory failures, and the challenges of achieving climate change targets in the face of ongoing oil exploration and spills in the Niger Delta.

Shiites Protest: Residents of Abuja community trek several kilometres
Residents of Mararaba and Nyanya faced significant hardships due to a protest by the Islamic National Movement (INM) over the detention of their leader, El-Zakzaky. The protest caused a severe gridlock, forcing people to walk long distances to reach their workplaces. The News Agency of Nigeria reported that transportation was scarce, and commercial drivers raised their fares. Residents expressed frustration over the frequent security issues and the lack of alternative routes in the area. The arrest of El-Zakzaky in 2015 led to the death of over 300 Shiite members and subsequent protests across various states. Security forces have promised to maintain security in the Federal Capital Territory to prevent further protests.
