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)
Critique of Abiodun Ogunbodede's Analysis of Sustainable
Development and Environmental Health Problems in Africa
In his paper “Sustainable Development and Environmental
Health Problems in Africa: A Critique,” Abiodun Ogunbodede
provides an insightful examination of the detrimental impacts
of multinational companies, particularly in the oil industry, on
local communities and the environment. This analysis is
significant not only for its critical perspective on the interactions
between corporations and communities but also for its
implications on sustainable development practices.
Ogunbodede identifies various reasons behind the
overexploitation and pollution of natural environments,
outlines the resulting consequences, and proposes potential
solutions rooted in an African anthropological approach.
Reasons for Overexploitation and Pollution
1. Corporate Greed and Profit Maximization: Multinational
corporations often prioritize profit over environmental
sustainability, leading to aggressive extraction practices. In
the oil industry, this can manifest as unchecked drilling
activities, inadequate waste management, and a disregard
for local environmental regulations. Ogunbodede argues
that this corporate focus on financial gain directly
contributes to the degradation of the natural environment.
