In today’s digital age, content creation is a potent tool for social engineering and many content creators shape how the world sees their societies. Unfortunately, some rely on misleading or harmful narratives driven by attention, monetization, and influence.

Correcting this trend requires more than censorship to achieve this goal. It demands education, accountability, public policy and authentic storytelling.

It is very sad to realize that people still do not explore content creation to represent our society in a positive way, particularly to the wider audience which goes beyond our locality. The rising trend of uncles killing their cousins, "smart" robbery and all the rest of them leave soo much to be desired. These narratives have lingered so long during the early years of Nollwood. And must not continue.

While lending my voice to that of our big Auntie Amarachi Attamah page on this issue, here are some of the strategies we can adopt;

•There is need to empower audiences to think critically about what they consume. Schools, communities, and platforms can teach people how to spot clickbait, identify deepfakes, and verify sources. Informed viewers are the first defense against misinformation.

•Let’s amplify creators who tell real, grounded stories about their communities. Grants, visibility programs, and partnerships with cultural institutions can help ethical storytellers thrive.

•We should encourage communities to counter false narratives through crowdsourced fact-checking, grassroots storytelling, and local digital campaigns that reflect lived realities.

•There is need to engage and educate creators rather than punish. We should train creators on responsible storytelling and the long-term impact of their narratives on the society. As such, the alleged Chinese idea of content creators being certified experts in their areas may be adopted. More so, rewarding ethical content with visibility or funding can shift incentives.

•There should be smart Regulation without Censorship, especially on harmful misinformation. This regulation should reflect both national and foreign policies of the government.

"Can fossil fuels investments justify commitment to zero gas emissions?"

In view of the need for a sustainable future, countries around the globe🌍 subscribed to commitment for zero emissions. However, some others adopted this commitment without thoroughly considering the nature and stage of their economy especially on energy stability.

Consequently, we have witnessed recent moves by some of these nations investing and permitting to invest on fossil fuels for some staggering reasons.

The real question is, can more investments on justify earlier commitment to zero gas emissions?

"In truth, it can be very difficult to justify fossil fuel investments in the context of commitments to zero gas emissions".

Some scholars have argued for continued investment in fossil fuels, on the grounds that fossil fuels remain a dominant source of energy globally, and investments in this sector can ensure energy🌱 security and reliability. Moreover, investments can generate significant economic returns, creating jobs and stimulating local economies. In the same vein, fossil fuel infrastructure, such as pipelines and refineries, can be repurposed or upgraded to support low-carbon energy sources.

However, the arguments against continued investment in fossil fuels are that fossil fuel investments contribute to greenhouse gas emissions which exacerbates and undermine efforts to achieve zero gas emissions. More so, continued investment in fossil fuels can damage reputation of such countries before other countries with deeper bias for .

In the face of underdevelopment, unemployment and hunger, some third world countries, like most recently, Nigeria, are taking steps that are "good" for their economy, and "bad" for their commitments as some may put it.

Interestingly, one should consider the fact that some of these countries are taking justifiable steps like, transitioning to low-carbon energy, as well as more research and development of new technologies that can reduce emissions or improve energy efficiency.

In order to achieve responsible and practices to be adopted for fossil fuel investments, there should be more efficient policies on;
conducting thorough risk assessments, setting clear emissions reduction targets, investing in low-carbon technologies and engaging with stakeholders.

Conclusively, while fossil fuel investments can be challenging to justify in the context of a commitment to zero gas emissions, there are ways to make these investments more responsible and aligned with climate goals. By following best practices, countries can minimize the negative impacts of fossil fuel investments and support a low-carbon transition, which would mean well for such nations economy.

On this therefore, climate justice entails that we all grow together, not by robbing Peter to pay Paul.........

The environmental impact of constant fall of the National Grid;

Electricity supply is one of the factors which have huge impact on the environment, due to the fact that the relies heavily on a stable and supply in various ways.

🧏‍♂️One could wonder, "what are the impacts electricity on the environment?"

The direct positive impact of electricity on the environment can be compressed to include the following;
•🏷Reduces gas emissions from generator sets etc;
•🏷Reduces air pollution emanating from use of such engines to generate electricity for heating, cooking, and transportation;
•🏷Promotes through powering water treatment and recycling facilities;
•🏷Increases efficiency in through waste collection and processing;

However, despite the fact that strategic transitioning to sources, improving energy efficiency, and implementing sustainable practices can mitigate the negative impacts of electricity generation, the following strategies are advised;

a. Investment in renewable energy technologies;
b. Improve energy efficiency;
c. Implement smart grids;
d. Promote electrification of transportation and industry;
e. Support sustainable land use and resource extraction practices.

Summarily, the constant fall of the Nigerian national grid makes a hoax of the country's international commitments to the protection of the environment and our shared global responsibility on .

Are we serious about tackling Climate Crisis?

Virtually all underground tunnels in most cities are blocked, which has increased the problem of flooding. Oil spillage is still at top gear, incessant oil extractions are on the increase together with high volume of gas flaring. Yet, we pretend we are tackling environmental challenges on camera.

Unfortunately, local communities are reportedly collecting peanuts from oil explorers just to find their daily bread, while government take their own "percentage" from oil firms that intend to flare gases, etc.

It is highly regrettable that the natural and consequential impacts of these excesses have left us constantly cut in the web of one or the other. Worst still, no one reports what is happening in satellite villages and hinterlands except when it is a huge .

The way out of these mess is not just to match actions with words by putting life to our existing laws and regulations which are mostly lying helpless in papers, but also taking awareness campaigns and more personal.

When this is achieved, our acclaimed commitment to would make so much sense as a strategic way to a future.
