QUESTION 1: Lesson 7 The prescribed reading ‘Sustainable
development and environmental health problems in Africa: A
critique’ (2015) “was written by Abiodun Ogunbodede who at that
stage was a student in the Department of Sociology/Anthropology
at the University of Uyo, Nigeria. His paper is about the impact of
multinational companies, particularly those in the oil (petroleum)
industry, on the lives of the affected communities and what he as
an African anthropologist from a people-orientated African
approach recommends as a possible solution. It is important to
note that researchers might have different solutions to the same
problems, but by reading different opinions we become more
informed on a particular topic, and we grow to become thorough
critical readers and make informed choices about possible
solutions. The main aim of this reading is to focus on the contents
– there is a lot to be learned from his approach, explanations, and
solution. It should be pointed out that through publications, human
issues, and possible solutions are made known to the world and
can assist in the implementation of positive changes for
humanity.” (APY:40) Critically discuss the reasons and
consequences of, as well as possible solutions to overexploitation
and pollution of a community, society, and nation’s natural
environment as identified by Ogunbodede (2015). (Do not exceed
approximately 750 words) Critical Discussion on Overexploitation and
Pollution of Natural Environments as Identified by Ogunbodede (2015)
In his 2015 paper, Abiodun Ogunbodede critiques the impact of multinational companies,
particularly those in the oil industry, on African communities and their natural environments.
Ogunbodede, writing from a people-oriented African anthropological perspective, provides a
detailed analysis of the causes and consequences of environmental degradation and pollution,
particularly in oil-producing regions like the Niger Delta, and offers recommendations for
mitigating these issues. His analysis is particularly focused on how the overexploitation of
natural resources by multinational corporations negatively affects local populations and the
environment.
