A social media commentator, named certified courtist took to his facebook page this morning addressing the recent collapse of the water tank in Ogoniland which was commissioned four days ago.

He wrote

When I woke up this morning, I was expecting to see a letter of resignation from the Project Coordinator Prof. Nenibarini Zabbey and BOT Chairman Emmanuel Deeyah of HYPREP, over the recent collapse of the water tank which they commissioned four days ago. Quite sad, they are still there as it is the Nigerian case.

It is shameful how these men would get away with this. I have consistently raised alarm on how these guys keeps doing substandard jobs, while huge sums are earmarked for it. They award contracts to family and friends and they are not interested in whether the project is properly executed.

What is further sad is that, this project was executed in the community of the BOT Chairman. The BOT Chairman could not put his eyes down to make sure the right materials are used for such project in his village. This shows how careless he is and probably his dislike for his people.

From this experience, HYPREP should get a team of engineers and access the kind of materials that were used in the construction of other tanks which they have commissioned previously to avoid this same situation. The contractor for this project needs to be arrested and prosecuted.

This collapsed tank will remain an indictment on the conscience of the leadership of HYPREP. There is a sense in which Ogoni leaders keep making sure their people suffer while they pretend to be agitating for their liberation.

In All, To God Be The Glory.

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...

Music minister Bobby Steve has cautioned youths against trolling or attacking pastors and Christian ministers on social media, noting that it is easy for people to criticize and point out faults from a distance. In a post shared on his Facebook page in the early hours of Thursday, December 18, 2025, Bobby Steve urged young people to concentrate on their personal callings and channel their energy into meaningful pursuits. He also encouraged them to seek divine guidance through prayer to avoid temptation and evil. His message comes amid the recent online backlash and criticism directed at Pastor Chris Okafor and other clergymen. According to the music minister, fame, wealth, and spiritual influence come with enormous pressure that many outsiders fail to understand.

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.
