CONCEPT OF A DRAMA ON CLIMATE CHANGE TO BE PERFORMED BY WTO MOCK SUMMIT STUDENTS – 2010 BAYERO UNIVERSITY, KANO – NIGERIA

_____________________________________________________________________

Development with noises and hazards. Both in towns and villages noises boom every where.

 

Some of these noises are unknown, unrecognized and unidentified. These are the ones from factories. We could see the others always with and around us as motor engines, and power generating machines.

In all, these noises are concealed with death traps and underdevelopment. Yes! Or do you not know that all these available engines are gas guzzling polluters?

The factory noises in the factory sites and of the motor engines every where on our roads as well as the power generating plants in our houses are accompanied by emissions of many levels of gaseous substances which contain verities of death chemicals.

They bring pollutions of many degrees and layers. From the ground through the space up to the unknown top.

Our environment is unconsciously been systematically destroyed. The soil, rivers and air are not spared. Even the natural stones change their nature.

Subsequently, the foods we eat become less nutritious and contain dangerous fossils fuels. The rivers life resources including all species of fish lost their natural being. The flow of rain is also affected. Natural birds are migrating to safer world. What about our water resources?

The World Trade Organization, which is the global trade monitor of a global trade, comes heavily with its international food safety measures to bar some of our water resources to get market in Europe and America.

 

That is a multinational corporate strategy. Our country is flooded with genetically – modified seeds and other bio-adjusted scientific measures to adapt to the changes in the soil, and the rivers.

Another corporate expectation is that these climate and environmental changes would in the next 20 years result in scarcity of natural pure water to the extent that water would become like oil for export and import to make profit.

Old and New diseases thriving everywhere because of the climate and environmental changes. What another source of big profit by big corporate interest?

They do not want pay compensation. They do not want miss their market. Capitalism is not a moral matter. For them the profit must continue. So, what is our solution? First, the Federal Government of Nigeria is hereby advised that it could protect Nigeria's environment by regulating the kind of factory machines, motor engines and power generating plants that come and are used in the country by application of the principles of the 1992 United Nations framework Convention on climate change and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.

Second, to develop and pursue independently, the science of climate change, including teaching and research programmes of the science in Nigeria's various tertiary institutions.

Third, to cultivate the culture in Nigerians both in towns and villages of a greenish environment.
