A Little More About Us

Hi! We are the people behind this blog. My name is Bloomy and our group is Mim, Nisha and Jaden.

Why are you doing this?
Well, we are basically doing this for the exhibition, but if you are expecting a deep and sincere answer, then we are doing this to help prevent, lessen and also clean up the oil spills all over the globe. But first, we'll start locally.

What is an oil spill?
Funny you ask, because an oil spill is literally an OIL SPILL. But if you need a definition, then an oil spill is a spill of liquid petroleum cased by humans.

How does this affect us?

Oil spills not only affect the victims, but it also affects the oil price. It also makes the air polluted and our oceans and environment polluted.

Then how does it affect the victims?
The oil spills can not only harm the animals near it and in the ocean, but can also harm humans. When the water evaporates, it evaporates oil in it, making our air bad and the people near it will be inhaling oil, which is also a cause of cancer. Many people also make a living by fishing, and now the people (like in the Niger Delta) cannot fish and don't have clean water, money and any fish to eat.

What is the case of the Nigeria oil spill?
We are not taking sides here, but Shell "accidentally" polluted the rivers and refuse to clean it up. The people in the Niger Delta then protested, which caused the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and 8 other colleagues. Again, we are not taking sites.

What happened to cause the Niger Delta spill?
A Shell had a base in the Niger Delta. Then, the pipes that usually tap the oil leaked out and created an explosion, causing an oil spill. The villagers accused the Shell people of being aware of this, because they stayed about 100 meters from the actual site.
