“I write this from a painful heart. On the right-hand side is my community, Oloko near Obasanjo farms, Sango Otta, Ogun State precisely where I and my family lives for more than a decade now.

“On the left-hand side is Onipanu popularly known has Kurata where most of the waste product, raw materials, dirt and chemicals of popular companies and lot of communities are dumped to be burnt 24 hours round the clock everyday by some Hausa men employed by some bunch of rich men.

“They live in that area for the purpose of burning which is obviously evil and completely inhuman even after knowing that there are thousands of human beings and near-by communities around being affected by the smoke which is continuously destroying health and lives.

“I mean can you imagine closing the whole window of your house running around each of the rooms and still inhaling smoke for 24 hours? We can’t take the nose mask off outside the house and even inside of the house.

“Meanwhile, the family of these rich men doing this evil live in peace with their family somewhere else, far away. We tried to reach and approach the government in every way possible but all was to no avail. Apart from rumors flying around, this has made us unsure if our government do not have a hand and make money from this evil activity going on.

“Waters have been polluted, even some kids have lost their lives due to the toxicity in their blood from inhaling the smoke there by turning their blood black. This is how serious the case is, we hope to get help from Ogun State governor and all Nigerians to please come to our aid.

“So I therefore encourage you to post this and also tag people that can be of help so as to save lives of thousands, because people are dying gradually everyday over here. Thank you.”
