so I came round
[Music]

[Music]
you
I’m a firm believer that in order to
solve the challenges that we have into
this world we have to delve into our
memory and discover what lies were head
in the future we have to go in our
memory in order to find the impulses
that will help us resolve the challenges
that we are having right now the major
challenge that we have in the world
today in terms of tackling the global
warming issue is that the simple simple
solutions are not fashionable the world
tends to always look out for complex and
complicated solutions so if you bring
something that is simple and straight to
the point
people just overlook it and the most
complicated problems in the world today
can be solved with simple solutions that
is my conclusion in case’ forgets to
conclude now we don’t need to talk about
environmental problems in Nigeria I
personally believe that if you solve the
problem for the environment in Nigeria
and I joined units Agoura be resolved
who built a nation by tackling the
challenges of environment because the
problems of the verbage in Nigeria is
democratically distributed no part of
this nation that doesn’t lack very
crucial and critical labour metal
problems is really not is really south
is in the East or in the West
just look up north we have encroaching
and increase in the certification about
350,000 hectares
land becoming desert or getting to
become a desert every single year and
don’t hate this out especially the Niger
Delta imagine that I self is a society
land so what are you doing it it or not
is sinking now with sea level rise
you’re having a compounded set of
problems because with subsidence and sea
level rise
you having a compounded attack on the
shoreline and coastal communities and
the way it is right now with a net sea
level rise of one beta of the 75% of the
Niger Delta will be lost to the sea now
when we look at the north again of
Nigeria what are the things that is
really triggering conflict in this
nation today is the shrinking of this
shrinking of Lake Chad you’ve had a very
talk about this if president talks about
it the blistering government of
supportive everybody is alarmed by how
much lake chad has shrunk in the
nineteen sixties the total area of the
lake was about twenty five thousand
square kilometers today is less than two
point five square kilometers and the
shrinking side is mostly denied recite
and so when you have pastoralists fisher
folks farmer has been displaced because
they don’t have a source of water to
support supporter their livelihoods
you’re going to find complete elsewhere
so you have heads heads men with ak-47
having considered farmers you have young
people who have lost their jobs who can
lost their livelihoods be radicalized
and take your religion as a reason to
fight most of the challenges we are
confronted with today can be traced to
environmental crisis even the crisis
where the niger delta is so clearly and
of course
little moment of crisis fishermen cannot
fish anymore
farmers cannot cultivate crops and even
if you do cultivate crops or fish your
product kills you life expectancy is 52
to 54 years in Nigeria it imagine Delta
it is 41 years now let’s go back to
global warming because it’s a real
global warning
I mentioned earlier that global warming
is challenged by global politics every
year
political leaders meet in what is called
Conference of parties of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change to discuss how to solve the
problem but in also a false attempt the
COP not to mean conference of parties
but conference of polluters because ETA
rather than saw the problem the problem
is allowed to compound instead of seeing
a bright star at the end of the tunnel
we are seeing a darker and darker future
and is something that we can easily
change if the mindset of leaders could
change now what are the biggest
challenges about this crisis is the fact
that the world is addicted to fossil
fuels coal patrol gas as the major
source of energy but the world forgets
that with not depended on this resource
for more than two centuries and that
this is the result as good exhausted
it’s not renewable so when it finishes
the future what are we going to do now
the problem now is when as will be
finished is going to get exhausted or
not the problem is what does burning
fossil fuels do to our future the earth
is getting warmer regularly because of
the dependence on burning fossil fuels
for energy for power and
but it looks like these days the more
you pollute the stronger you are so the
power ratings of Nations is about which
nation pollutes more than the other so
you find a collision of nations like the
EU with less than 70 percent of global
population releasing about 14% of carbon
emissions to the atmosphere if an
addition like our dear Nigeria searching
for resources but burning gas in the oil
fields and the communities in fact by
estimates Nigeria second largest gas
flare in the whole world after Russia
only after Russia we do this respect for
the fact that gas flaring is illegal it
has been illegal since 1984 in Nigeria
it causes a loss

I’m a firm believer that in order to
solve the challenges that we have into
this world we have to delve into our
memory and discover what lies were ahead
in the future we have to go in our
memory in order to find the impulses
that will help us resolve the challenges
that we are having right now the major
challenge that we have in the world
today in terms of tackling the global

people just overlook it and the most
complicated problems in the world today
can be solved with simple solutions that
is my conclusion in case’ forgets to
conclude now we don’t need to talk about
environmental problems in Nigeria I
personally believe that if you solve the
problem for the environment in Nigeria
Niger and you need to grab a resort we
will build a nation by tackling the
challenges of environment because the
problems of the environment in Nigeria
is democratically distributed there’s no
part of this nation that doesn’t lack
very crucial and critical environmental
problems easily denote Israeli South is
in the East or in the West
just look up north we have encroaching
and increasing the certification
about 350,000 hectares
and becoming dessert or getting to
become a desert every single year and
don’t hate this out especially the Niger
Delta delighted that I itself is a
society land so what are you doing it it
or not is thinking now would sea-level
rise you’re having a compounded set of
problems because with subsidence and sea
level rise
you having a compounded attack on the
shoreline and coastal communities and
the way it is right now with a net sea
level rise of one meter of the 75% of
the imaginary that will be lost to the
sea now when we look at the north again
of Nigeria what are the things that is
really triggering conflict in this
nation today is the shrinking of this
shrinking of Lake Chad you’ve heard him
very talk about this if president talks
about it the military government of
suppose it everybody is alarmed by how
much lake chad has shrunk it in nineteen
sixties the total area of the lake was
about twenty-five thousand square
kilometers today is less than 2.5 square
kilometers and the shrinking side is
mostly in a trance i and so when you
have pastoralists Fisher folks Pharma
has being displaced because they don’t
have a source of water to support
supported their livelihoods you’re going
to find complete elsewhere so you have
heads heads men with ak-47 having
completed farmers you have young people
who have lost their jobs who can lose
their livelihoods be radicalized and
take your religion as a reason to fight
most of the challenges we are confronted
with today can be traced to
environmental crisis even the crisis
where the Niger Delta is so clearly and
of course
little moment of crisis fishermen cannot
fish anymore from us cannot cultivate
crops and even if you do cause wet drops
of fish your product kills you life
expectancy is 52 to 54 years in Nigeria
if imagine Delta it is 41 years now
let’s go back to global warming because
this is a real global warning

you pollute the stronger you are so the
power ratings of Nations is about which
nation pollutes more than the other and
so you find a collision of nations like
the EU with less diverse only some
percent of global population releasing
about fourteen percent of carbon
emissions to the atmosphere if an
initial like our dear Nigeria searching
for resources but burning gas in the oil
fields and the communities in fact by
estimates Nigeria second largest gas
flare in the whole world after Russia
only after Russia we do this respect for
the fact that gas flaring is illegal it
has been illegal since 1984 in Nigeria
it causes a lot of health issues
destroys the environment destroys even
properties wood roofs getting corroded
because of its acid rain and yet we keep
on Fleury gas why because the oil
corporation said when they started
extracting oil there was no market for
natural gas and it became a standard
industry practice now the fact that
there was no market there is no excuse
cannot be an excuse for allowing this
destructive activity took be carried on
and the challenge for us in Africa
especially is that
so I came round
