"OIL DEAL" MOVIE: PRODUCER KENNY READY TO UNCOVER HIDDEN REALITIES OF NIGER DELTA OIL POLITICS

Image
Oil Deal Movie was created to expose this painful reality—to tell the untold story of environmental injustice, broken promises, and the human cost of greed. The film asks a critical question that still lingers today: What was once a blessing has become a burden for the people of Ogoni in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. Rich in oil deposits—often called “black gold”—the land initially promised prosperity and development. Instead, decades of oil exploration and exploitation transformed fertile soil into a poisoned environment and peaceful communities into zones of suffering. Rivers that once provided drinking water and sustained fishing livelihoods became polluted and unsafe. Farmlands were destroyed, crops failed, and hunger spread across the region. As pollution deepened, residents began to experience strange illnesses, unexplained deaths, and a steady decline in quality of life. When the people demanded justice, accountability, and environmental restoration, many voices were allege...

OBASEKI: GOD WILL PUNISH LEADERS WHO USE POWER FOR THEMSELVES, NOT THE PEOPLE

Image
Godwin Obaseki, former governor of Edo State, has warned that politicians who use power for personal gain rather than public service will face divine punishment. In a video shared on his official X page, Obaseki said politics should be about improving lives, not acquiring power for selfish reasons. According to him, leaders who enrich themselves and their close associates after attaining office betray both God and the people. He described political power as a divine trust that must be used in service to humanity and to glorify God. “If you are in politics to get power, and you get the power and it’s only for you and your friends and the people close to you, then God will punish you,” he said. Obaseki added that failing to use power in line with God’s purpose is a serious moral failure. “Because if God has given you power, and you cannot use that power directly for Him, glorify Him, then I don’t see how you will do it,” he stated. Reflecting on his time in office, the former...

"WHY GO TO CHURCH TO WATCH TV?" - MAN FAULTS SALVATION MINISTRIES' SATELLITE BRAND STRUCTURE

Image
A Nigerian man has sparked debate after questioning the practice of attending church services only to watch them on television. He specifically mentioned Salvation Ministries as one of the churches where some members reportedly watch services on TV under the guise of physically going to church. He argued that with the availability of live services on social media platforms, it makes little sense for explanation to travel to a church building just to watch a televised service without seeing the pastor minister live. According to him, it is illogical for someone to wake up early on a Sunday morning, dress up, forgo the comfort of their bed, spend money on transportation, and then sit in church merely to watch a television screen. The man shared these views in a lengthy post made in the early hours of Friday, December 19, 2025.

"UNA SUGAR DON FINISH, ALLOCATION NO DEY AGAIN" -- TAMBARI JACOB CRITICISES FORMER PORT HARCOURT CITY MAYOR, ICHEMATI

Image
Tambari Jacob has criticised Nigerians who applaud politicians for organising December giveaways, describing the gesture as misleading and insincere. He argued that the funds used for such giveaways are often public resources meant for the people, yet politicians are praised for distributing what already belongs to the public. According to Jacob, Nigerians have developed a habit of celebrating leaders who use citizens’ common wealth to gain popularity through handouts. His remarks were sparked by a trending photo of former Port Harcourt City Local Government Chairman, Hon. Ezebunwo Ichemati, at a “Chicken and Rice 2024” giveaway event. Reacting to the image, Jacob remarked, “Una sugar don finish, allocation no dey again,” suggesting that such giveaways only happen when public funds are readily available.
