As an Environmentalist, its pertinent and monumental to highlight some of the malicious and jinx the colonial people brought to us. It was during the colonial period that Nigerian communities began to experience radical changes in their relationship with their Environment. Instead of people living in harmony with their environment, it became or was regarded as a factor to be conquered and over comed The period of colonialism will always be remembered as a period of depletion, devastation,detorioration, pollution and degredation of the resources of the natural environment. This period, which coincided with the early insudtrial revolution in Europe that causes so many turbulent chaos, causes so many depletion of resources. In this period, exotic crops and other plants were introduced into the Nigerian environment by the imperialist. Which massivley disrupted and disorganised our environment. Lands ceased to be a sacred communal heritage and to be held in good custody for the generation yet unborn, infelicitously it became a commodity to be bought and sold, this ofcourse hindered our private land ownership systems. Many lands made for Agriculture were also confiscated by the colonist and thus, converted into commercial Agriculture and no amount was left for shifting cultivation as well as bush fallowing. Also, any forest that has a thick forest is been over exploited. As they haven't made any provisions for the forest regulations on the need to preserve,conserve and restore the environment for the benefits of present and future generations. And argonisingly, after this thick timbers are shifted to European countries for processing, they are being brought back to for you to buy at high prices and compulsory. Animals were also not left behind, animals like: elephants, monkey's and other species that are highly sacrosant were also exploited. And the activities going on in that period damages the top soil and hitherto made the soil unfertile. Animals migrated to an environment were they could survive, and hence becomes instinct. Urbanization was another major repercussion and upshot of colonialism. People abandoned the rural areas for the urban areas in search of greener pastures. This however made Nigerian cities overcrowded and surcharged with many poeple. Amenities such as water, epileptic electricity and improved modern infrastractures made many people to skedaddled to urban areas. This lead to diseases out breaks, improper sanitations and etc yet the colonial people turns a deaf ear to the call on the protection of the Environment. It is highly pertinent to mention the Ghana in this write up. Ghana, before used to be known as ''the Gold coast'' for it huge abundance Gold deposits. This resourses were exploited to the extent they are no longer found there. Even though they had helped alot in the implementation of Laws and other policies, it's not for the benefits of the populace, but rather theirs. This ofcourse made me to refer to the words of Nnadozie K.C (1994): ''laws which would ensure compliance of laws by the the colonial imperialist would have become counter productive, if not repugnant'' this made them to turn a deaf ear when ever issue of the environment is been raised. Despite all this, Nigeria is also a ratified member of some conventions such as: kyoto convention, montreal protocol, Stockholm convention and a myriads of others to mention. It is also important to recall that Nigeria have in both the past and present envisages for a rapid Environmental Education and protection. Section 20 of the 1999 constitution of Nigeria states that: ''the state shall protect and imrove the environment, and safegurard the land, air, water, forest and wildlife of Nigeria. The extracts from the National Policy on Environment 1988 is also apropros to mention. Upon all the laws and other policies as well as conventions, the Nigerian Goverment pays less attention to its environment. Oil spill,Desertificatio, Acid rain, Poaching, etc are all a mouth watering activities in Nigera. Its hightime the Government ensure compliance and conformity to those laws. By so doing, the issues of Global Warming, climate change would be curbed.
