LookBeyondOil3: Tales by Moonlight was a remarkable intergenerational gathering.
The goal has always been simple: bring conversations about the Niger Delta struggle to everyday young people. This year, I believe we achieved that.
Look Beyond Oil 3 is an evening of storytelling and conversation. It is an opportunity to hear from community leaders, activists, storytellers, who have experienced the realities of the Niger Delta

LOOK BEYOND OIL 2026
3rd Edition
Theme:
“Real Stories, Real Victims, Real Consequences”
This year is not about impressing anybody.
This year is about stocktaking, reflecting, reconnecting and being true to our core as Nigeria Deltans
#LookBeyondOil#TalesByMoonlight
This Year….
We will sit together on mats, surrounded by different energies, stories, ideas, sounds, emotions and perspectives as we bring our thoughts into one space.
No pressure.
Just heart, depth, reality and honest conversations with a touch of fresh Palm Wine (😜)

It would be sad if we cannot find a permanent solution to this environmental crisis, especially if our own institutions and companies are doing worse than the IOCs.This is what saddens me the most, and it is what we see every day. @WeDontHaveTime
@collectivepathways2030 and @lincgreen_ collaborated on a capacity-building workshop for women in the NGO and CSO space, themed “Leveraging Social Media and AI to Enhance Results in the Non-Profit Sector.”
Facilitated by @Diolutobe
It’s strange when you think about it. The place that produces so much wealth still struggles with the basics.
Maybe we’ve just learned to adapt too well. Maybe we’ve been patient for too long.
At some point, we have to come together, speak more honestly, and keep pushing.
Ofiomina-Ama is a riverine community in Alakiri, has been plagued for 2 years with this devastating inferno as a result of the carelessness of Oil Companies.

We have a common enemy in Nigeria…. That’s bad leadership… I honestly wish we can separate issues from persons, disagree maturely and focus on our common goal….
This divide and rule method will only delay our freedom….

And I’ve always said, if Nigeria is great, they’ll be equal opportunities for everyone, we wouldn’t need a savior, activists or supermen. Nigerian system will be designed to serve us and our victory will be collective. There will be no uneven distribution of wealth
Now people who are supposed to come together and find a common ground to fight for the liberation of the Nigerian people , are fighting each other…..
It’s sad and pathetic….
But this crack is not a suprise, it goes to prove what I’ve always said… We had been so indoctrinated, enslaved and over powered by darkness for so long ; and that is why no matter how “noble” it may seem, underlying the works will be manifest that Selfish Ambition….
But sadly our eyes are not single; our activists are pitched against each other, their voices are weak because they muddle the same dirty waters as our oppressors. It’s mostly driven by the selfish desire to be seen as a “savior” or “the last man standing”
If only our generation had a mind of our own; if only our generation can see beyond the noise and focus on what matters, we would have been able to collectively demand fairness, justice and equity.
The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is not just about building a road. It is raising deep accountability and governance concerns that cannot be ignored.
Beyond the headlines, several critical issues stand out:
- Unclear total project cost and limited public disclosure on procurement process.
- Demolitions and displacement of businesses and livelihoods with concerns around compensation.
- Environmental risks to coastal communities, wetlands, and long term climate impact.
- Phased commissioning that raises questions about political optics versus actual project completion.
- Uncertainty around project design, scope, and long term maintenance plan.
At Tracka, we have joined many well-meaning Nigerians in demanding answers. We submitted a Freedom of Information request to @FMWNIG through the office of the minister @DaveUmahi to seek clarity on these issues since March 2, yet no response has been received to date.
This lack of transparency weakens public trust and raises further concerns about how large-scale infrastructure projects are being managed.
Public projects of this magnitude must be open, accountable, and people-centred. Citizens deserve to know the true cost, the process, and the long-term impact.
We will continue to #followtheprojects and demand accountability because #publicfundsmustworkforthegoodofthepeople.
