Six Years and Counting: Oil Well Fire Still Raging in Ondo State, Destroying Marine Life and Livelihoods
An oil well fire off the coast of Ondo State has been burning for six years, since May 2020, causing severe environmental and economic devastation in the Awoye community . The fire at the Ororo-1 well in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 95 has killed marine life, polluted water bodies, and increased ocean surges, with no end in sight .
Despite repeated appeals to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Chevron, and the Niger Delta Development Commission, the fire continues to burn . Chevron Nigeria Limited, which originally operated the well, had previously extinguished a 2019 fire within 74 days at a similar site . However, the Ororo-1 well has been left to burn for years after its ownership reverted to the Federal Government .
Residents of Awoye, once known for its cocoa production and thriving fishing industry, are now struggling to survive . Fishermen can no longer fish near the fire, and catches have drastically declined . The Health of Mother Earth Foundation has described the site as a "symbol of ecocide and outright neglect" by the Nigerian state . Stakeholders have called on the Federal Government to take responsibility and extinguish the fire immediately .
@Francolumengfx@OlukanniAdemol1 If you're judging it by the people who misuse it, then the same applies to those who brought your religion… they used guns for both good and bad. It's not the tool or belief that's evil; it's the person using it.

Ọ̀rúnmìlà says, “Do it little by little.”
So, little by little we eat the rat’s head;
Little by little we eat the fish’s head.
The one who comes from the sea, who comes from the lagoon to claim the cow’s head was no small personage in Ifẹ̀ in the days of old.
We are neither as large as the elephant nor as stout as the buffalo. The sash beneath is never as fine as the sash tied above.
No king surpasses the Ọọ̀ni.
No string of cowries rivals that of Yemideregbe. Yemideregbe is what we call Olókun.
Ọ̀rúnmìlà counsels: measure the length, and measure the breadth.
The hand rises higher than the head; the young palm frond rises above the old.
No forest is so dense that the ìrókò cannot be seen; No music so loud that the gong cannot be heard.
“Mine is important, mine is important,” cries the Grey Heron.
Then whose matter is the most important?
Surely, the palm tree’s matter is the most important.
Okan sprouts, it reaches the road.
Surely, the palm tree’s matter is the most important.
Yes, Okan sprouts and it reaches the road.
Surely, the palm tree’s matter is the most important.
“Mine is important, mine is important,” cries the Grey Heron.
Surely, the palm tree’s matter is the most important.
