What do you do a week after your home and your possessions are destroyed by a bulldozer? What do you do two weeks after? Three weeks? For many, the struggle is only just beginning. Watch pt.1 of Martha Naadaa's story: ⚡️chicoco.fm/naadaas-story-… ⚡️ @AmnestyNigeria @witness_africa
''You, Squat-to-Pee, you can’t do it!'… But now the Squat-to-Pee bosses over the Buffon! I can do it!' Happy #InternationalWomensDay2022! ♀️ chicoco.fm/squat-to-pee
An accelerating pandemic. Violent police impunity. Sex-workers struggle to make a living. chicoco.fm/sex-work-pande… On #InternationalWomensDay we remember the most vulnerable women around the world, who continue to face marginalisation and gender-based violence. #IWD2022 ♀️
'This is where my house was. I found it because I spotted my daughter's shoe. Only one of her shoes.' Up to 22,000 people were displaced in 6 days in Nigeria's oil capital, Port Harcourt. Tell @GovWike to #EndForcedEvictionsNow @AmnestyNigeria @witnessorg @Make_TheShift
'Joy' arrived home to find she no longer had one. Left to salvage what the bulldozers didn't crush, some residents are forced to sleep in the rubble, on mats, on broken doors, in the ruins of their former homes. @GovWike, we are collecting evidence. #ForcedEvictionsAreIllegal
We are identifying the footprint of every home, school, shop, church, townhall, public toilet, workshop, bar and shed that the governor ordered bulldozed. The law was also bulldozed. @GovWike, we are collecting evidence. #PeopleLiveHere #ForcedEvictionsAreIllegal #MapJustice
10 communities destroyed in 6 days: families generations deep; local histories decades deep - gone. They had names: Elechi; Urualla; Ojike; Akwuzu; Afikpo; Abba; Akowka; Nanka; Egede; Soku. Now a scar deep across the city's heart. Tell @GovWike to #EndForcedEvictionsNow
Elizabeth’s mother built a house. Fire burnt it down. Elizabeth rebuilt it. The governor sent in bulldozers. Nothing you see here exists anymore. Apart from the people. The people remain. #EndForcedEvictionsNow #PortHarcourt #Nigeria @AmnestyNigeria @witness_africa
Day 6: the scale of destruction is hard to take in from the ground. Almost every community along this edge of town has been reduced to rubble. Some were as old as the city. The bulldozers have stopped for today - waiting for their orders. #EndForcedEvictions #PeopleLiveHere
Read this story from the ongoing forced evictions in the Nigerian oil delta. A region that produced wealth enough to make it the richest town in Africa, instead it produced an ecological disaster and stream of refugees. But also proud resistance.
Today, Martha packed up her room, with her mother and her child and left her home to the bulldozers. Martha lost her home, not her voice. Read her story here: ⚡️ chicoco.fm/reading-in-the… ⚡️
This has been one of the hardest stories our crew has covered: the demolition of our own communities. Every day, the bulldozers have taken more ground. Almost all of #DiobuWaterfront has now been erased. Tell @GovWike to #EndForcedEvictionsNow. #PortHarcourt #PeopleLiveHere
This is #NotANaturalDisaster: over 5000 displaced; the area of 5 city blocks flattened as bulldozers advance with the force of a tsunami. Unlike a tsunami, the governor can halt the bulldozers. Tell @GovWike to #EndForcedEvictionsNow #PortHarcourt, as of 11am 01.02.22
Today, Martha packed up her room, with her mother and her child and left her home to the bulldozers. Martha lost her home, not her voice. Read her story here: ⚡️ chicoco.fm/reading-in-the… ⚡️
Yesterday, the community next to Mary was destroyed. The day before, the community next to that was razed. The day before, the same. In the next day or two, Mary's home will be destroyed. Tell @GovWike to #EndForcedEvictionsNow #PortHarcourt, Nigeria. #HousingIsAHumanRight
DAY 4 of ongoing demolitions in Diobu, #PortHarcourt. As of yesterday, 3 communities razed. Today, thousands more lost their homes. We'll be posting regular updates. #PeopleLiveHere #EndForcedEvictions #ElechiWaterfront
The governor declared he would demolish our communities. We came out in protest. He sent in the police and bulldozers. 12 people detained; over 2000 people made homeless; 58,000 at risk. #ElechiWaterfront #PortHarcourt: #PeopleLiveHere #EndForcedEvictions
JOINT PRESS STATEMENT: JEI and our civil society partners condemn the ongoing forced eviction of waterfront communities in the Diobu axis of Port Harcourt, Rivers State
Elechi Phase 1, Port Harcourt, Nigeria BEFORE: 2000 residents: fishermen, civil servants, traders, teachers, school kids, musicians; a community. AFTER: 2000 pushed into homelessness, poverty, insecurity; a wasteland. #PeopleLiveHere #HousingIsAHumanRight #EndForcedEvictions
LISTEN: community leaders from #Diobu waterfront in #PortHarcourt speak on RythmFM radio about Rivers State Governor Wike’s threat to demolish their communities within 7 days — no notice, no consultation #EndForcedEvictions cc @chicocoradio @AmnestyNigeria soundcloud.app.goo.gl/jgpupL7E5ZLbqh…
