Nigeria Is Losing Its Gas Economic expediency still trumps ecology and rational resource use 🔥 In a single month — September 2025 — more than 11.3 billion cubic feet of gas from Nigeria’s went straight into the sky as flame and smoke. 🔸 Although associated gas can be captured, sold, used in other sectors of the economy, or even reinjectedinto oil reservoirs to aid production, oil companies continue to flare gas simply because it is cheaper than ensuring its reuse. ⏩ Remarkably, the government plays along with corporate interests. The gas-flaring data in question was published by the state oil company NNPC, while the relevant regulator, NOSDRA, has stopped sharing this information with the public since May. ⚠️ The result is enormous environmental harm. The gas flared in September alone produced around 630,000 tonnes of CO₂ — to emit the same amount it would alternatively take some 140,000 cars and an entire year. Devils Below
