Climate Talk Podcast

In this episode, a young and inspiring environmental activist and eco-feminist, ⁠Perfect Johndick,⁠ from Port Harcourt, Nigeria. shares with Seyifunmi Adebote the state of environmental degradation in Nigeria's Niger Delta region and her struggles as a frontline environmentalist.

From the black soot that permeates the air in Port Harcourt to open gas flaring, and how these have been normalised in the region; Perfect speaks about how these served as the foundation for her entry into environmental advocacy. She speaks about her horrid experience (12:35) with fellow indigene kicking against her and her pro-environmental actions.

Acknowledging the risk that comes with this work, Perfect hopes to continue questioning big oil and gas companies, as she campaigns for remediation and justice.

This was such a great conversation. On this episode, you will learn about:

1. A call-to-action in the Niger Delta to fix the environmental defects in its environment.

2. The region's unwilling disposition to environmental progress and the influence of corruption.

3. The role of individuals, especially young people in deploying innovative approaches towards challenging unfriendly actions and powerful names.
