Gold Mining: Lands In Osun Communities Rot After Excavation

Ignorance of locals, poverty in the land and government corrupt connivance with indigent lords/kings leading to destruction of thier environment.

Ejowo awon wo lo ni île ni ile-ijesha ooo???

OONI IS BEHIND IT. I MEAN OONI OF IFE. THE GOVERNMENT IS SO USELESS AT EVERY LEVEL. HOW CAN GOVERNMENT ALLOW CHINESE NATIONALS TO COME TO AFRICA AND ROB OUR PEOPLE?

We can see that is not Niger Delta that is suffering from Nigeria govt resources mining. They promise community heaven and earth when they discovered the resources. Just form militant, the government will not respond.

It is really a crying shame that our government and those in authority will sell their people so cheaply. Nigeria seems to be a place where every stranger can come and pollute the community and leave the devastated land and water without any consequences for the perpetrators. Unfortunately, it is mostly the poor and struggling people that suffer the most. When will our government start providing adequate protection to our farmers and those living in the rural areas of our land?!

Chinese ruining Africa.Chinese should be senty parking from Africa immediately.

Local people in these communities are ignorant certainly and for that reason they have been exploited and abused. Their lands have equally been abused. People should be educated about their rights in the community. They should be educated about what the government and the local council can do for them. The local council members were elected by these people. They should be educated that their local MPs which they address as honourable are not in fact honourable. The State government must have made allocation for these communities developments and needs but the funds have been embezzled or diverted to elsewhere and usually their private pockets. The communities should be educated to go to their local council offices and demand for implementation of what was promised to them when they were campaigning to be elected. Obviously the Chinese didn't just walked into these lands to exploit the lands and left them with craters. Someone in the local authority or government led them to the areas. Nigerians are dormant because their mental abilities have been compromised. They have become mental slavery to their masters and to themselves. People are digging and stealing your wealth under your nose and you are watching without a challenge from you. Therefore lots of different people would be coming in the future to dig your gold if nothing is done. So local people please don't just stand there and watch. Do something to stop those stealing your wealth.

The Chinese and some government officials are hell bent on turning Osun and other Yoruba land in to desolation just as many of the lands in the north is currently….

Destruction of forest. That's sad.
