Gas flaring
This shots talks about the constant battle with petroleum and crude oil in my country, and how the government have turn everything for their own gains, this gas flaring occurs in many city’s that have oils deposits in Nigeria, and it is a major problem for locals around that community, the life expectancy has gone really down, the air they breath is been polluted by this exploration and the Government doesn’t care, all they do is explore more oil and don’t care about the dwellers.
Presently petrol plays a very key role in the inflation in my country, and sadely it keeps increasing everytime there by causing a lot of hardship, the title signifies that she’s in danger but there is no one to run too for help, she feels like she’s in a prison in her own country because of the hardship she face.
