BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP RECALLS U.S AMBASSADOR TO NIGERIA

Image
President Donald Trump has recalled the United States’ ambassador to Nigeria, Richard M. Mills Jr., as part of a wide-ranging overhaul of US diplomatic postings that affects 30 senior envoys worldwide. Ambassador Mills, who was appointed on July 25, 2024, is among 13 ambassadors serving in African countries impacted by the decision. Washington insiders say the move is aimed at realigning US foreign policy with Trump’s “America First” agenda. According to the Associated Press (AP), the affected diplomats, many of whom were appointed during the Biden administration but retained under Trump’s early months in office, were informed last week that their assignments would end in January 2026.  “Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president,” an official familiar with the development told AP, noting that envoys typically remain in their posts for three to four years. Officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, clarified that those recalled are not being dismissed from ...

"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...

"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.
