The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has invited former President Olusegun Obasanjo to visit the Port Harcourt Refinery and personally verify its current operational status.

This invitation follows Obasanjo’s recent comments in an interview with Channels Television, where he cited advice from Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) suggesting the refinery might not operate efficiently.

SPDC, which was approached for equity participation, reportedly raised concerns about corruption impacting the refinery’s operations. Obasanjo also accused NNPCL of allegedly misleading Nigerians about the refinery’s functionality.

In response, NNPCL’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, issued a statement reaffirming the company’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

Soneye extended an invitation to Obasanjo to observe the progress achieved at the refinery following its rehabilitation, emphasizing the company’s efforts to transform its operations.

Soneye explained that the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refinery involved a complete overhaul, exceeding routine maintenance, to align with international standards. He also noted similar ongoing rehabilitation projects at the Warri, Kaduna, and old Port Harcourt refineries.

According to Soneye, NNPCL’s transition from a government corporation to a private limited liability company has shifted its focus to profitability, positioning it as a globally competitive energy firm.

He reiterated the company’s dedication to maintaining refineries at international standards and ensuring sustainable operations to enhance Nigeria’s energy security.

Addressing Obasanjo’s remarks, Soneye acknowledged the former president’s contributions to national discourse and emphasized that NNPCL values his insights. He assured Nigerians of the company’s commitment to driving progress and securing a better future through transformative initiatives.

Regarding reports claiming NNPCL plans to halt crude oil supply to the Dangote Refinery, Soneye dismissed the allegations as baseless, stating there was no need to respond to falsehoods.

A recent video from a worship session at Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, led by Evangelist Ebuka Obi, has become a trending topic online.

The church, known for drawing large crowds seeking spiritual solutions, witnessed a lighthearted yet attention-grabbing moment when a lady openly pleaded for a husband during the service.

In the viral clip, the woman humorously declared her struggles, stating that she was sexually starved and had a “raging libido,” prompting her to seek marital intervention. Her candid appeal left the congregation and social media users both amused and intrigued.

The video has since sparked a mix of reactions, with some viewers finding humor in her approach, while others commended her boldness in expressing her needs.

Translating from Igbo to English,  she said:

“Daddy, I’m so horny, give me a husband.”

Upon hearing this, Ebuka Obi and the congregation burst into laughter.

The clergyman went on to throw a playful jab at her, then asked her to shed more light on her statement but she declined, telling Ebuka he wouldn’t understand because he’s a spirit.

Following this, Ebuka Obi kicked off a deliverance session. He struck her head repeatedly which got her screaming and rolling on the floor

Ebuka went on to command Marine Spirit to let go of the lady so she could meet her life partner.
