  3. In 1956, Oloibiri, a small community in present-day Bayelsa State, became the birthplace of Nigeria’s oil industry. It was here that Shell struck crude oil for the first time in the country, putting Nigeria on the global map as an oil-producing nation. This discovery was seen as a turning point for the nation, promising economic growth and development. The oilfield produced up to 5,000 barrels a day during its peak, fueling hopes for prosperity. But that promise never fully materialized for Oloibiri. By 1978, the oilfield was exhausted and abandoned. What remains today are the scars of neglect and environmental degradation. The community, despite its historical significance, has been left underdeveloped. There is little to no infrastructure, and residents still face challenges like poverty and poor living conditions. Efforts to honour Oloibiri’s role in Nigeria’s history, such as plans for an Oil and Gas Research Museum, have moved at a frustratingly slow pace. The rusting oil equipment and degraded land stand as a stark reminder of the community's contributions and sacrifices for the nation’s wealth. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Oloibiri with two fellow travel enthusiasts, @instadiaryofgigitravelgirl and @jaybee_anochie. Walking through this historic site was a humbling experience, as we reflected on how this small community contributed to shaping Nigeria’s economic history. However, it was also a stark reminder of the consequences of resource mismanagement. Which way Nigeria?

  2. The Goodness of God is undeniable, His integrity, unquestionable and His faithfulness, unmatched. It's been God all the way. Winning the 2021 NATIONAL title and qualifying for the Olympics wasn't by my doing, it was just God and God alone. I wished and prayed for Olympics qualifications and it came at God's own time and I trust God Olympics proper is settled already.. Many thanks to fans and friends all over they world, your support, cheering and believe in me went a long way. All thanks to my Coach, Ayokunle Odelusi, your lot is preserved sir.. I RUN BY REVELATION because, GOD'S POWER IS WORKING 💯 💯 💯. #Tokyo_bound# 🙇‍♂️

  3. I'd have really loved to write alot about this 2021 season, but the more I try, the more words fail me each time. In Summary, this was my season of triumph. Very special thanks to my coach (Ayokunle Odelusi @ayokunle266), my pastor, my babe, my family, my friends & of course you the amazing fans (both home & abroad), you guys rock. We do so much more in 2022 & beyond, by the grace of God. For now, let's give it a break. I love you guys. God's power is forever working 🔥 #runningbyrevelation #enochadegoke #athlete #christian #champion #olympics #adidas

  1. Is it too early to say it's been a good year so far? I don't wanna say tough. 😩 And then April came and I knew it. I just knew that if I didn't change, nothing would. One of the things I've learned this month is that most of it is "all in my head". I've decided to fill my head with plans God has shown me, dreams I have for myself and my future, the beauty that comes with living and having fun, as well as the victory after every trying time. If feels good to be me. ❤️ #aprilsgoodie #thejulesjojo #explore

  2. Had a great time performing my original song with the amazing @ralpharmony at my birthday party. First time singing it publicly so it made sense to post it first. More videos coming up. YouTube link will be posted in bio for more videos. Video credit @simplylight_

  3. Happy Birthday Jojo, I love you dearly. Welcome to a journey where the Lord leads you where your trust is without borders, where you’ll walk upon the waters wherever He calls you. He’ll take you deeper than your feet will ever wander and your faith will be made stronger. #trustandobey #happybirthday #thejojojules #fallinfaith

  3. First Saturday post marathon & we’re still shining. 🥇 The Active Jog at the airport loops hit different as the team showed up strong, gold medals from the @lagoscitymarathon 2026 proudly on display. Our 8km community run felt even better with the oraimo Watch Nova 2 and oraimo Watch 6 tracking every stat in real time. The Open Circlet 2 and Open Arc kept the music going, and the pocket sized Power Nova L11 kept us powered all through. @oraimoclub remains the sure plug. At @team__active we STRIDE TOGETHER, THRIVE FOREVER. #activeruncommunity #oraimo #LagosMarathon #oraimoWatch6 #oraimoWatchNova2
