The Nigerian film industry is mourning the sudden death of rising Nollywood actress Omotola Odunsi, who passed away on August 1, 2025, at the age of 32.

Omotola, known for her vibrant performances in Yoruba-language films, reportedly died after a brief illness.

Her demise was confirmed by fellow actor Akinola Akano, popularly known as Segbowe, who shared the heartbreaking news on his Instagram page.

In an emotional tribute, Segbowe posted screenshots of their final conversation, in which Omotola had assured him she was “fine and back.”

He wrote, “Motola! Strange but I tried checking on you at the wee hours of that morning. You said you were FINE & BACK! This is a rude shock, Omotola! Journey well, sister. God be with your family.”

Omotola Odunsi had built a reputation as one of the most promising talents in Yoruba cinema. She starred in several acclaimed films, including Lisabi: The Uprising, Officer Adaeze, Amonata, Ayanmo Ire, and Ifedayo. Her performances were praised for their emotional depth and authenticity, earning her a loyal fanbase and respect among industry peers.

A video tribute circulating online captures moments from her career and personal life, offering fans a chance to reflect on her journey. The actress was also known for her close relationship with her family, particularly her mother, who is reportedly devastated by the loss.

Funeral arrangements are yet to be announced, but fans and colleagues continue to honor her memory with heartfelt messages.

 

Ndokwa Reporters @ 12: Bel Media Launches BEL DIALOGUE To Deepen Civic Engagement

As Ndokwa Reporters marks 12 years of community-focused journalism, its publishers, Bel Media Consult Limited, have announced the official launch of BEL DIALOGUE, a new annual civic engagement platform designed to address critical development challenges in Delta State and Nigeria through participatory discourse.

The anniversary event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at Top View Hotel, Okpanam Road, Asaba, starting at 11:00 a.m. The highlight of the celebration will be the unveiling of BEL DIALOGUE, a public engagement forum that will convene key stakeholders including policymakers, community leaders, civil society actors, and development experts to engage in solution-driven conversations on pressing socio-economic issues.

The maiden edition of BEL DIALOGUE will focus on the theme: “Development or Displacement: Understanding the Cost of Unregulated Land Acquisition in Our Communities — The Role of Government and Traditional Institutions in Safeguarding Community Lands.” The theme was carefully selected in response to the growing threat posed by unregulated real estate expansion, particularly the encroachment on communal farmlands and the impact on food security, livelihoods, and social stability.

In a statement signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Bel Media Consult Limited, Emmanuel Enebeli, MNIPR, the organisation reaffirmed its commitment to driving public interest journalism and participatory governance. According to the statement, BEL DIALOGUE is envisioned as a platform that will annually bring together a wide range of voices to interrogate policies and co-create solutions that support sustainable and inclusive development.

“For over a decade, Ndokwa Reporters has remained steadfast in promoting the values of responsible journalism and community development. With BEL DIALOGUE, we are extending that mission beyond news reporting , by creating a civic space where concerns can be raised, ideas exchanged, and solutions crafted in a collaborative environment,” the statement noted.

The Chairman of the occasion, lead discussants, and other key participants are expected to be formally unveiled in the coming days as preparations intensify for the event.

Founded on May 3, 2013, Ndokwa Reporters was initially published under a sister company, Syncoms Integrated Services. Though originally conceived as an online-only news platform, and one of the earliest in Delta State, particularly within the Ndokwa Nation, the paper briefly introduced hardcopy editions in response to high local demand and accessibility needs. Throughout its journey, it has remained anchored on its guiding slogan: “Towards a Better Community Development.”

Through consistent coverage of government activities, community concerns, and developmental initiatives, Ndokwa Reporters has earned a reputation as a credible and responsive medium serving the interest of the people.

The upcoming anniversary and launch of BEL DIALOGUE represent a bold new chapter in that journey, one that blends journalism with civic action to shape conversations that matter and influence policy directions for a better Delta.

DELTA ACTIVIST: Mulade Urges Ethnic Groups To Embrace Development

Delta State-born renowned peace and development advocate, Comrade Mulade Sheriff, has called on the various ethnic nationalities in the state to embrace development for the benefits of all Deltans.

The United Nations Peace ambassador and environmental rights activist made the appeal to particularly the Urhobos, the Itsekiris, and the Ijaws, who he said are the livewire of the state economy.

He said, “We cannot continue to fight ourselves, oppose development, and chase away investors that will create employment opportunities for our teeming youths because of selfish interest.

“I want to strongly appeal and advise our revered traditional rulers and political leaders to shun hatred and embrace peace, unity, and development for the interest and progress of our dire state,” he added.

Mulade, who is the Ibe Serimowei of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom and the National Coordinator of the Center for Peace and Environmental Justice (CEPEJ) assured that both the president and state government are committed to attracting investors to the state

“It is pertinent to state that the current Federal Government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR and the State Government led by Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori are doing everything humanly possible to attract investors to the state through the ongoing state projects and federal presence,” the CEPEJ Boss stated.

According to Mulade, the big three ethnic groups in the State need to unite and play strategic roles that will aid the federal and state government to deliver democratic dividends to the people

“Delta State is blessed with abundance of human capital and natural endowments. Rather than fighting ourselves, let us harness the potentials of influence across the State to support the Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for Deltans to enjoy the dividend of democracy as the economic live wire of Nigeria,” he counseled.

Senator Ned Nwoko: A Man Who Refuses To Acknowledge Failure

By Austin Oyibode

In a world where many accept defeat easily, Senator Ned Nwoko stands out as a man who simply does not believe in failure. His life is a testament to the power of vision, perseverance, and an unwavering belief in what is possible—even when the odds seem insurmountable. As an international lawyer, philanthropist, and now a federal lawmaker, Nwoko has continually broken barriers. But perhaps his most ambitious and impactful pursuit yet is the ongoing campaign for the creation of Anioma State.

For Senator Nwoko, there is no failure in his dictionary. This belief is more than a personal mantra; it is the fuel behind a historic movement. While others may have seen the idea of Anioma State as distant or unrealistic, Nwoko saw a path forward. And rather than wait for others to act, he stepped up and led the charge.

Anioma State, a proposed state for the Igbo-speaking people of Delta North, has long been a subject of debate. For years, it existed mainly as an aspiration shared among community leaders and cultural advocates. But today, thanks largely to Senator Nwoko’s relentless advocacy, it is fast becoming a tangible reality.

His approach has been both strategic and inclusive. He has mobilized key political figures, traditional rulers, youth organizations, and community groups across Delta North and beyond. He has brought the conversation to the floor of the National Assembly with clarity, conviction, and data-backed proposals. His argument is not just political—it is moral. He views the creation of Anioma State as a long-overdue act of justice for a people with a distinct identity, culture, and contribution to national development.

For Nwoko, this is not about personal gain. It is not about power or prestige. It is about correcting historical imbalances and giving the Anioma people the recognition and representation they deserve. He sees Anioma State as a beacon of unity and progress—not just for the people of Delta North, but for Nigeria as a whole.

What sets Senator Ned Nwoko apart is not just his belief in the cause, but his refusal to accept setbacks as final. He understands that big changes take time and resistance is inevitable, but his courage never wavers. He pushes forward, not because it’s easy, but because he knows it’s necessary.

He does not believe in failure because he believes in his people, the resilience of the Anioma spirit, the strength of their culture, and the depth of their contributions to Nigeria’s growth.

He does not believe in failure because he has seen what persistence can achieve, whether in his professional life, philanthropic efforts, or political service.

And it is with that same conviction that the dream of Anioma State continues to gain momentum.

Today, more Nigerians are becoming aware of the Anioma cause. More lawmakers are listening. More citizens are voicing support. What was once considered unlikely is now within reach.

Senator Ned Nwoko’s leadership is not just inspiring, it is catalytic. He is not waiting for the future to happen; he is helping to shape the future. His name is becoming synonymous with purposeful leadership, fearless advocacy, and the kind of hope that transforms societies.

The Anioma people are watching with pride. Nigerians across the country are paying attention. And a new chapter in state creation is being written, with bold ink, strong will, and steady hands.

The delegation and the IGP’s team discussed strategies to improve intelligence sharing, strengthen operational coordination, and ensure tighter security around critical oil infrastructure.

The visit underscores the Senate’s commitment to supporting security agencies in safeguarding Nigeria’s oil assets and curbing the economic sabotage posed by crude oil theft.

…As He Passes On At Age 90

The Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Pa Joseph Onyibie, the veteran journalist and publisher of Ika Voice newspaper, who passed away at the age of 90.

In a condolence message issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Community Newspapers Prince Joseph Orhomonokpaye, the Governor described Pa Onyibie as “a towering figure in grassroots journalism and a true voice of the people of Ika Nation”.

He commended the late publisher’s dedication to community-focused reporting and his lifelong commitment to the truth.

” Pa Joseph Onyibie was more than a journalist, he was an institution. Through Ika Voice, he brought to light the concerns, aspirations, and stories of our people for decades. His passing is not just a loss to the media world, but to Delta State as a whole,” Governor Oborevwori stated.

The governor acknowledged the role Pa Onyibie played in nurturing local journalism, mentoring young reporters, and promoting accountability in governance through his fearless editorials.

He extended his heartfelt condolences to the Onyibie family, the Ika Voice team, the Ika media community, and all who were impacted by Pa Onyibie’s work and wisdom.

“May his legacy continue to inspire the next generation of journalists. We pray for the peaceful repose of his soul and for comfort to his family in this time of grief,” he added.

Pa Joseph Onyibie, regarded as one of the oldest active publishers in the region, was known for his unwavering integrity and commitment to truth in journalism. He remained active in editorial duties well into his 90s

Asaba Mega City Projects On Track As Delta Govt Warns Trespassers

By

The Delta State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to the completion of the ongoing Asaba Twin Mega City project, a flagship urban renewal initiative under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE agenda.

The government has also warned individuals who have been compensated for their land to steer clear of the project site or risk demolition of illegal developments.

The Special Project Director in charge of the project, Barr. Victor Ebonka, emphasized the significance of the initiative during an inspection of the six-lane road leading to the twin mega cities.

He stated that the two cities—Asaba Waterfront City and Niger City, are being developed by reputable companies.

Ebonka noted that the project forms part of Governor Oborevwori’s vision to transform the capital territory into a modern, thriving city equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure.

According to him, the development would significantly transform the Asaba waterfront and contribute to the state’s economic growth, adding that  completion of the project would be a game-changer for the state and its people.

“The twin cities—Asaba Waterfront City and Niger City—are being developed by North China Construction Company and Foklands Nigeria Limited, respectively,” he said.

Barr. Ebonka also issued a stern warning to trespassers, including those who had been compensated but were attempting to illegally develop parts of the land, saying; “I want to use this medium to sound a note of warning to them to desist from such acts. The Ministry of Lands and all relevant stakeholders have been duly notified. Any illegal development on these lands will be demolished”.

Commending the expertise of both companies in land reclamation, Ebonka explained that they are well known for their proficiency in reclaiming flood-prone areas.

He expressed optimism that the project would not only address the perennial issues of erosion and flooding in the area but also create a new economic hub with modern infrastructure such as multi-lane roads, underground electricity, and sewage systems.

“Before now, this entire area could best be described as wasteland. You couldn’t build on it, and farming was impossible due to constant flooding,” Ebonka said.

He reiterated Governor Oborevwori’s unwavering commitment to delivering the project, stating: “With what I see here today, this road project will be fully completed in less than a month. It is also expected that both companies will extend the road to the River Niger.”

Highlighting the long-term economic and infrastructural benefits of the project, Ebonka noted that, “By 2028, the reclamation process will be completed, and major infrastructure will begin to emerge. Work on Niger City has already commenced; they have  been on-site for almost two years and dredging is ongoing.”

He added that the project would also offer opportunities for land ownership and housing. “Everyone is eligible to own land here. We’re talking about over 800 hectares. If you subdivide it into plots of 100 by 100 feet, that’s about 10,000 plots,” he said.

“Asaba Waterfront City will develop approximately 352 hectares into a modern mega city, with features such as economic hubs, recreational parks, and residential areas. Niger City will develop about 423 hectares in a similar manner. Under the MOU, the two companies will reclaim the land, while the government is responsible for providing this six-lane access road directly from the main road.”

He also disclosed that the Governor had graciously paid full compensation to all individuals with legitimate claims within the corridor. “This access road serves as the boundary between the two developments. To my right is Asaba Waterfront City, and to my left is Niger City. This is a very commendable initiative by the state government,” he added.

Barr. Ebonka stressed that the Oborevwori-led administration, through its proactive MORE agenda, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the developers not only to build the cities but also to solve the erosion and flooding problems historically associated with the area.

In their separate remarks, the Contract Manager of North China Construction Company, Mr. Akindele Israel, and Engr. Mike Nwachukwu of Foklands Nigeria Limited, provided insights into the project’s progress and reaffirmed their companies’ commitment to the success of the twin mega city initiative.

They described the project as revolutionary and a major step forward in the development of the Asaba capital territory.

ANIOMA STATE: A Just Cause That Must Not Be Ignored

By Godfrey C. Osakwe, fnipr

Development Communicator & Anioma Advocate

If indeed the current conversation or documentation on state creation is genuine, and if Anioma State is excluded from the proposal, then it would be nothing short of a travesty of justice against the good people of Anioma Nation.

Anioma remains Nigeria’s oldest unfulfilled agitation for state creation, dating back several decades. I recall emotionally the tireless efforts of our pioneers who championed this cause. A few years ago, I, Godfrey C. Osakwe, joined forces with like-minded patriots under the banner of the Umu Anioma Foundation Worldwide to lend my voice and strength to this noble quest.

It was during this advocacy that I encountered fellow agitators such as Emmanuel Ohia (Coordinator, Atlanta, USA), Lauretta Onochie (then UK-based before joining the Buhari government), Sister Gloria Adagbon (UK-based lawyer), Bros. Charles Anyasi, (now His Royal Majesty, Obi Charles Chukwunwike Anyasi, the Obi of Idumuje-Unor), Frank Ofili (Lagos), my brother Alister Chukwukadibia Smith (Atlanta, Georgia), Emeka Esogbue, Rita Daniels, Patrick Ochei, and many other committed sons and daughters of Anioma.

Together, we strategised tirelessly, held advocacy visits, organised seminars and conferences, and mobilised across traditional and digital platforms. We printed T-shirts, branded jeans, and created impactful materials boldly inscribed with “Anioma 37”; driven by the conviction that Anioma deserves to be Nigeria’s 37th state.

Sadly, the election of Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa as Delta’s first Anioma-born Governor led many to believe the agitation had run its course. Others argued that having the state capital in Asaba nullified the relevance of a separate Anioma State.

But students of political history know better: the siting of a state capital does not guarantee equity, justice, or fair resource distribution. The continued cries of marginalisation validate this truth.

Hope was rekindled when Senator Ned Nwoko, senator representing Delta North Senatorial District at the National Assembly reignited the Anioma State movement with fresh passion. Unfortunately, many dismissed it as a personal ambition, overlooking the broader, legitimate call for justice, self-determination, and regional development. Only a few recognised it for what it truly is: a shared aspiration for progress and equity.

Let it be clear: we are not at war with our neighbours in Delta Central or South. The creation of Anioma State will enhance more development, offer opportunity to reintegrate our kith and kin wrongly ceded to Edo and Rivers States (such as our brothers in Igbanke and Ndoni), and uplift all parts of Delta State, including our neighbours.

Whether Anioma is zoned to the Southeast, Northeast, or Southwest, it does not diminish who we are, the Anioma people. Let us reject divisive stereotypes and embrace historical truths: many Anioma people trace their roots to Nri in present-day Anambra State, while others share ancestral links with Edoid (Edo), Igala, and Yoruba ethnicities. Our heritage is rich and diverse – unapologetically Nigerian.

If, once again, Anioma is excluded from the current round of state creation, the painful truth may be that we failed to speak with one voice or demonstrate the necessary enthusiasm.

Therefore, I call on all Anioma sons and daughters with a collective sense of history, justice, and responsibility to rise in unison, renew the agitation peacefully and lawfully, and press for a just cause whose time is overdue.

God bless Delta State!

God bless Anioma Nation!!

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!!

Oyebamiji: Purpose Over Politics?

By
Hill Nigeria

By Abiodun KOMOLAFE

The pursuit of power and purpose often intersect in politics. This raises fundamental questions about leadership, governance, and the role of individuals in shaping their societies. In Nigeria’s context, marked by fluid alliances and shifting loyalties, a technocrat’s dilemma is particularly pronounced.

While the intersection of purpose and politics is a matter for another time, Bola Oyebamiji’s decision to run for the Osun State governorship election in 2026, under the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform is a case in point. With his extensive experience in both public and private sectors, Oyebamiji’s candidacy promises a potentially new wave of development and accountability in the state.

In the midst of economic turmoil, the technocrat’s promise of pragmatic solutions can be a potent catalyst for change. Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign symbolizes this phenomenon, where the phrase “It’s the economy, stupid” resonated with voters and transcended partisan divides. By positioning himself as a competent economic manager, Clinton defied expectations and secured the presidency. This strategic emphasis on economic competence can be a decisive factor in times of crisis. It can allow a candidate to rise above partisan politics and tap into the electorate’s desire for pragmatic solutions.

In the present field of wannabes, if AMBO, as Oyebamiji is fondly called, positions himself as the competent technocrat, who manifests the mantra, “Cometh the hour, cometh the man” – someone who rises to meet the moment’s challenges, he will be very difficult to stop. As Clinton showed at a similar time of economic dysfunction, the candidate who projects himself as a doer, who can put food on the table and elevate living standards, has a very clear advantage. Given his track record, I think AMBO has the savvy to do so!

With over-28 years of expertise in the banking sector, and as the current Managing Director/CEO of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Oyebamiji’s leadership approach is characterized by a commitment to communal development, grassroots mobilization, and inclusive governance.

But the conversation shouldn’t end there! With existential threats looming, Nigerians are seeking a proven leader who can manage resources effectively and outline a programme similar to the Unity Party of Nigeria’s iconic Four Cardinal Programme of 1979. If AMBO showcases his ability to deliver, he may be seen as a modern-day equivalent of the late Lateef Jakande and Bola Ige. Both leaders were elected based on their reputation as capable administrators, rather than partisan affiliations.

It’d be in Oyebamiji’s interest to build a data-driven ‘coalition of the grassroots’ to achieve his purpose. He should leverage his proven economic credentials as Osun State Commissioner for Finance (2017-2018; 2019-2022) to make a strong case. Specifically, he could highlight his achievements in fiscal balance during his tenure and explain how these successes can be built upon and fine-tuned in today’s conditions.

Further still, AMBO should revisit the annals of history and examine the trends that have shaped voters’ perceptions of managerial competence. Defections alone don’t win elections, as the 2022 Osun State governorship election has shown. Similarly, endorsements alone don’t guarantee success, as the 2015 presidential election has revealed. Much more needs to be done to win voters’ trust!

Currently, across Osun State’s senatorial districts, the electorate is palpably receptive to a leader who epitomizes these qualities. The state is currently in a state of flux, with no single political party dominating the electorate’s imagination. The question therefore remains: can Oyebamiji forge the necessary alliances to capitalize on this sentiment and turn it to his advantage?

Vote Of Confidence On SSA On Community Newspapers, Prince Joseph Orhomonokpaye

By
Hill Nigeria
-

The attention of well-meaning stakeholders in Delta State’s media landscape has been drawn to a recent publication by a faction of the Association of Community Newspaper Publishers of Nigeria (ACNPN), Delta State Council, in which they passed a purported vote of no confidence on Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Community Newspapers, Mr. Prince Joseph Orhomonokpaye,

After a thorough review of the issues raised and the broader context of Prince Orhomonokpaye’s appointment and performance, we, the undersigned publishers, media professionals, and observers, categorically reject the claims made in that press release and instead pass a vote of confidence on Mr. Orhomonokpaye for the following reasons:

1. Dedication to Duty: Since his appointment, Prince Orhomonokpaye has shown visible commitment to uplifting the standards of community journalism in Delta State. His passion for engaging with grassroots media and promoting community-based reporting has been evident in his policies and outreach.

2. Inclusive Approach: Contrary to the allegations of exclusion, Prince Orhomonokpaye has made deliberate efforts to open up opportunities for a wider circle of media professionals beyond the narrow confines of long-standing associations His attempt to make capacity-building and official engagements more inclusive should be lauded, not vilified.

3. Support for Governor’s Agenda: The seminar referenced by the ACNPN was part of the SSA’s initiative to align community media with the MORE Agenda of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori. It was well-intentioned and aimed at equipping media professionals to better report on governance. Any shortcomings in execution are best addressed through constructive engagement, not character assassination.

4. Commitment to Reform: Prince Orhomonokpaye’s tenure has been marked by an honest effort to reform a space previously dominated by cliques and personal interests. Resistance from entrenched elements should be seen for what it is: an attempt to maintain the status quo and suppress new ideas.

5. Professional Conduct: While no public servant is perfect, it is wrong and highly unprofessional to label Prince Orhomonokpaye as “uncivilized,” “abusive,” or “irrational.” Such language reflects more on the authors of the original press release than on the subject of their attacks. Disagreements, no matter how strong, should be expressed with decorum and respect.

6. Unity, Not Division: Prince Orhomonokpaye has consistently encouraged all publishers—regardless of affiliation—to work together for the growth of community journalism. Attempts to paint him as divisive are baseless and misleading.

7. A controversy has emerged surrounding a recent seminar organized for community newspapers publishers and other related political appointees. Sources reveal that Mr Ike Philip Abiagom, Mr. Jude O. and Comrade Alaska Ekele, along with a few others, allegedly requested 500,000 naira each from Prince Joseph Orhomonokpaye.  However, their  request was declined, as the approved budget for the seminar was specifically allocated for training, accommodation, and feeding of the publishers for the three-day event. The attendees were also provided with seminar bags and all necessary materials to ensure the smooth running of the seminar.

According to reports, Mr Ike Philip Abiagom Mr. Jude O. and Alaska Ekele are reportedly unhappy that their preferred candidate, Mr. Benedict Obiokolie, publisher of Anioma News, was not appointed by the governor. It is alleged that they had collected 500,000 naira from Mr. Obiokolie, promising to influence the governor to appoint him as a Special Assistant (SA). Since the governor did not appoint Mr. Benedict Obiokolie, they vow to frustrate Prince Joseph Orhomonokpaye and ridicule him in the sight of the governor. The so called executive of ACNPN led by Ike Philip Abiagom are no longer  publishing regularly, and they can not provide up to date of their publication. However, regular community newspapers publishers have commended the governor for appointing Jude Obiowego as senior special assistance (SSA) on media, expressing their support for the governor’s decision.

Notable attendees included Dr. Kingsley Emu, Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Charles Aniagwn, Commissioner for Works (Rural) and Public Information, and other commissioners, who either attended personally or sent representatives.

The Secretary to State  government (SSG) took the opportunity to commend Prince Joseph Orhomonokpaye for organizing the event, acknowledging that it was a “wonderful job” that brought together community newspapers publishers and political appointees. The seminar itself was reportedly well-structured, with attendees receiving seminar bags and necessary materials to facilitate the event. The attendance of such high-profile figures underscores the significance of the event and the government’s commitment to engaging with community newspapers publishers.

Conclusiveky, we affirm that Mr. Prince Joseph Orhomonokpaye has brought energy, vision, and integrity to his role as SSA on Community Newspapers. While he may not have satisfied the personal expectations of every individual or group, his track record speaks for itself, an unwavering commitment to elevating community media in Delta State.

We therefore pass a VOTE OF CONFIDENCE on Prince Joseph Orhomonokpaye and call on His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, to ignore any self-serving attempts to discredit him. Instead, we encourage more constructive collaboration and unity among all media stakeholders in Delta State.

Signed by the Publisher Ika Voice, Pa Joseph Onyibie (Chairman) and  Publishers: Pathway News, Victor Ucheka (Secretary) on behalf of regular community newspapers publishers of Delta State
