Abstract
This article aims at understanding the environmental problems in the Southeastern part of Nigeria and how they affect public activities and values. It is meant to highlight the standard of living, environmental conditions, and the possible solutions with challenges to sustaining the environment. The Southeastern part of Nigeria is becoming heavily influenced by climate change. Problems and difficulties are stretching from persistent flooding to destruction of natural habitat and environmentally related health issues. In other words, this article answers questions related to environmental problems and reveals the reason why there are frequent occurrences of these problems. Another crucial part is in the explanation of the social behaviour and complex risks associated with ignorance of indirect human activities, focusing more on the issues which could be in the water, soil, and air. In concerns towards environmental problems in Southeastern Nigeria, this article will lay more emphasis on the most persistent environmental issues and concerns affecting these areas and how to manage them.
Highlights
A range of human activities contaminate the natural environment directly or indirectly, and this brings about change in the climate
Prior studies have discussed the potential influence of government policies on the social behavior of Nigerians but haven't been able to look into chaos and disorder caused as a result of inadequate Environmental Management Systems and the level of ignorance displayed by the people which has, in turn, led to the increase in occurrence of natural disasters
Environmental degradation is the main reason natural environments in Southeastern Nigeria are compromised in some way, bringing about a reduction in biological diversity and the general health of the environment at large
Summary
A range of human activities contaminate the natural environment directly or indirectly, and this brings about change in the climate. Farmlands for agriculture, properties and contamination of water and water bodies, including air and soil, are all linked to a substantial increase in natural disasters such as flooding and soil erosion. Prior studies have discussed the potential influence of government policies on the social behavior of Nigerians but haven't been able to look into chaos and disorder caused as a result of inadequate Environmental Management Systems and the level of ignorance displayed by the people which has, in turn, led to the increase in occurrence of natural disasters. Soil erosion mainly gully is a major ecological prob-. Air pollution intensifies the occurrence of respiratory diseases and poses a threat to the population of these areas, thereby bringing an extra burden for the federal government to handle
