Nigerians, Wake Up!
Over the last 2 years, a dangerous and divisive narrative has spread across Nigeria, a narrative of religious persecution, of Nigerian Christians being massacred by “Islamic jihadists” and “ISIS terrorists” for their faith in a “Christian genocide”, a narrative which did not originate in Nigeria, but in Washington DC. For the last 2 years, and in recent months most especially, the administration of US President Donald Trump has been relentlessly pushing this narrative.
Why is it doing this, and why should every Nigerian be very concerned?
The answer lies in the history of geopolitics over the last 8 decades, and in this video, YouTubers Sonny Faz and Bek Lover shed light on this answer.
The whole Nigerian Christian Genocide charade was an attempt to distract the world at a time Israel was facing intensive scrutiny for its genocide against the people of Gaza.
The Western propaganda machine was aimed towards Nigeria a perfect place where religious extremists would certainly take the bait.
Many Nigerian influencers based in Western countries were put on a payroll to smooth the process. There must always be house nighas to validate the incursions.
What was the end goal?
Insert Israel in the scene at the right time as the saviours of humanity.
Gaza forgotten and whitewashed, the image successfully laundered.
Western propaganda always follows the same script, you just need to observe the consistent pattern.
For Israel to re-align as part of the good guys of the world, some “Kazeem and Abdul” has to take some bombs.
Of course, let's blame it on some Islamic Terrorism and never the founders of all Islamic terrorism.
You will learn International politics by force.
Be unapologetic about your faith. Stay strong, and never allow other people’s actions to define what you believe in or what you stand for— whatever a terrorist does in the name of a religion does not represent you.

Before and after photos of a school in Obagi oil producing community in Rivers State.
The school is just one out of the 536 community projects being handled simultaneously through the Host Community Development Trust (HCDT).
The HCDT has risen to N373bn as of October 13, 2025, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has said.
Section 235 of the Petroleum Industry Act of 2021, mandates settlors (oil companies) to incorporate Host Community Development Trust for the benefit of host communities where they operate.
The HCDT requires oil companies to deposit 3% of their operating expenditures of the preceding financial year into a trust fund which will be housed in a bank with BBB rating.
While the NUPRC does not have direct access to the funds, it monitors the fund through a dashboard known as HostComply. The Commission also monitors the implementation of the fund as mandated by the extant laws.
In line with the PIA, the NUPRC last month facilitated the delivery of over 10 life-changing projects and the flag-off of more than 10 others under the Obagi Host Community Development Trust (HCDT) in Rivers State, operated by TotalEnergies.

NUPRC greenlights TotalEnergies’ $510m deal with Shell, Agip
The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has signed off on a Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA) by TotalEnergies Exploration and Production Nigeria Limited to assign its entire 12.5% contractor interest in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 118 to Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPco) and Nigerian AgipExploration Limited (NAE).
According to the details of the agreement, TotalEnergies will transfer 10% of its interest to SNEPco at a cost of $408, 000,000 while NAE will pay $102,000,000 for the remaining 2.5%.
The NUPRC said in a statement on Thursday, September 25, 2025 that pursuant to Section 95 of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, the Commission carried out due diligence on SNEPco to ascertain their financial capacity and technical competence.
“SNEPco and NAE have demonstrated both technical and managerial competence to optimally contribute to the upstream operations (explore, develop and produce) in OML 118. They already maintain a participating interest in the asset.
“Based on the presentations and documents submitted, there is a clear evidence that they have access to funding to meet their financial obligations,” the Commission said.
The NUPRC further stated that TotalEnergies, a committed operator in Nigeria’s vibrant upstream sector, had also paid the statutory application fee for the deal.
The Commission noted that SNEPCO and NAE will bear the decommissioning and abandonment liabilities owed by TotalEnergies to the Federal Government of Nigeria with respect to the divested interest.
The upstream regulator explained that the divestment is subject to a ministerial consent in line Sections 95(1), (2), (7), (11) and 12 of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021.
The Commission therefore expects SNEPco and NAE to pay 5% and 2% respectively of the transaction purse on the total value of $510,000,000 as premium on ministerial consent and processing fees.
The assignees are also to give an undertaking in favour of the Commission that they will bear all the decommissioning and abandonment liabilities and the host community liabilities owed by TotalEnergies
NUPRC Denies Report On N8.4trn Oil Theft, Says Crude Losses Dropped 90% In 4 Years
The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has faulted a report titled, ‘N8.41tn oil theft drains economy, fuels investors’ doubts’ published on the front page of The PUNCH on Wednesday September 24, 2025.
The report in question was based on a misinterpretation of crude loss statistics between 2021 and July 2025 which had been released by the NUPRC in the spirit of transparency and in line with the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021.
Recall that the commission had revealed on September 11, 2025 that daily crude oil losses had dropped to 9,600 barrels per day, the lowest since 2009 which was reported widely and accurately.
The NUPRC was vindicated again when the latest figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed that Nigeria’s economy grew by 4.23% largely on the back of an increased oil output and two other sectors an-acknowledgement of the steady progress made by the industry to combat the menace of crude oil theft.
Against the foregoing, the report by The PUNCH is not only specious but lacks proper context for the following reasons:
• Firstly, crude oil losses have been on the downward trend due to collaborative efforts between the NUPRC, the Office of the National Security Adviser, the military, Operators and other relevant stakeholders. This collaboration through both kinetic and non-kinetic means, dropped oil theft from a staggering 102,900 in 2021 – when the Commission was established – to the current 9,600bopd representing over 90% reduction in losses.
• Also, in the misleading report, an exchange rate of N1,500/$1 is used from 2021 to 2025 to increase the figures and sensationalize actual losses when in actual fact, Nigeria’s exchange rate was less than N430 on the official market and barely N600/$1 on average between 2021 (when most of the crude theft occurred) and in mid-2023. The N8.41 trillion is therefore inaccurate. Attempting to situate it within the current 2025 federal budget is flawed.
• Furthermore, the methodology adopted by the Newspaper is significantly flawed because it lacks in-depth understanding of operations, crude oil price trends and exchange rate mechanisms
• Nigeria has continued to meet its OPEC quota due to the Commission’s initiatives and working collaboratively with industry stakeholders to sustain and grow productions. Such initiatives include: the project 1 million barrels, implementation of the metering audit, restoration of shut-in strings and increased rig counts, facility uptime, creation of alternative crude evacuation mechanism etc.
• Furthermore, Nigeria now has the technical capacity to produce above two million barrels daily. The Commission is galvanizing Industry stakeholders – Operators, service providers (local and international), rig owners, off-takers, and financiers - in order to fully unlock the potential, riding on the improved operating environment and social inclusion in operating areas
• The story also fails the integrity test as no attempt was made by the reporter to get a clarification from the commission in the spirit of fairness and balanced reporting.
