"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.

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS PRESIDENT'S POWER TO DECLARE EMERGENCY RULE, SUSPEND ELECTED OFFICIALS

Image
  Nigeria's Supreme Court has confirmed the President's constitutional power to declare a state of emergency in any state facing a potential breakdown of law and order or descent into anarchy. The decision, delivered in a 6-1 split judgment, arose from a legal challenge brought by Adamawa State and 10 other states governed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Key highlights from the majority opinion, led by Justice Mohammed Idris: - Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution grants the President broad discretion to take "extraordinary measures" to restore normalcy during an emergency. - While the section does...
