Nigeria is blessed to have a soil layer of the earth crust that is well placed, therefore making the possibility of the occurrence of an earthquake very slim. However, Nigeria is exposed to other natural disasters such like:

I. Oil spillage, II. Flood, the most common of all

An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the enviroment, especially marine areas, due to human activity, and is a form of pollution.

OIL SPILLAGE

CAUSE OF OIL SPILLAGEOil spillage occurs when people make mistakes or are careless and cause an oil tanker to leak oil into the ocean. It often occur when companies drill oil in mostly in the eastern Nigeria

Oil spillage can simply be prevented by people being more careful ..
