Where's the Media? (Amina)

No wonder many Nigerians do not know or do not care what goes on in the Niger Delta region. I strongly believe that this is because the Nigerian media seems to be careless on the whole environmental issue. On every Nigerian newspaper, news website or magazine, there are sections on lifestyle, property, glamour, business, health etc. But there isn't an environment section in almost all of them. You hardly see an environment related headline even in the popular newspapers. The Nigerian media should really change their attitude towards the enviornment. 

          During every incident of oil spill on the Niger Delta, so many issues arose, like who is responsible, how and why it happens and so on. Well, if the oil companies and the communities will or will not answer those questions, at least the environment should be cleaned up. These people, or more like the environment, suffer from disastrous land, water and air pollution. The oil companies are not doing their best and the people do not know the right ways to clean up oil spills. See attached article for more information.
