Gas flaring - the practice of burning off the gaseous by-products of crude oil production - is a major source of Nigeria's greenhouse emissions. The country has pledged to end gas flaring by 2030, however, a similar target for 2020 was not met. #ClimateLearn #ClimateChange

This is an early warning! Be careful of Abuja Meetings. On Jan 19th, 2012, Labour leader went to Abuja for a meeting with then President, while the rest of us were “occupying Nigeria”. By midnight on that Sunday, NLC called of strike/protests and military deployed. #SARSMUSTEND

Another consequence of making clothes from synthetic materials is that while washing we release microfibers in the waterways. Every year, an equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles into oceans.

We also make the majority of our garments with synthetic fibres such as plastics. When it is disposed of, they remain in dumpsites or rivers for hundreds of years or they might just find their way into the food chain.
