There is no worse monopoly in the Niger Delta today than the desperation of Tompolo and Matthew Tola to hold on to the N2.1 trillion pipeline surveillance contract. Fejiro Oliver finds this utterly disturbing. The audacity with which they go about consolidating this power is nothing short of breathtaking.

In an interview on Arise TV, where they made the boy sent by Tantita visibly uncomfortable, Fejiro Oliver could see right through the monopoly. As the host rightly pointed out, why hasn’t the trillions generated by this deal trickled down to development? The truth is clear: it has not, and it will never.

The only thing that’s trickling down is billions that have been spent on lavish lifestyles—flying Nigerian Instagram influencers in private jets, buying Lamborghinis for one-night stands, and funneling money into Afrobeats shows and Nollywood productions. Meanwhile, the suffering people of the Niger Delta are left behind, while millions of dollars bleed out of the region to entertain people who don’t even understand the difference between a pipeline and a market stall.

Fejiro Oliver sees this for what it is: buying relevance, buying silence, and crafting an image of power and wealth—a cheap imitation of what Ayiri Emami built in the days of the 911 Escravos, when real wealth meant something. This is not investment. Fejiro Oliver calls it what it is—looting with choreography.

Arise TV didn’t just see through the monopoly of one man or one company in the pipeline industry—they boldly exposed it, and Fejiro Oliver couldn’t agree more.

Now, here’s where the danger lies: Fejiro Oliver warns that if we don’t decentralize the pipeline surveillance, they will use the money to entrench their power in Delta State. If Sheriff wins re-election, they will seize the opportunity to impose themselves on the state. Sheriff is too weak to challenge them, and an Egbesu worshipper is likely to take over if he wins. This is a state that Sheriff and Okowa constantly insist must only be governed by a Christian—especially since Sheriff is a deacon himself.

Fejiro Oliver will personally take it upon himself to campaign against their plans. If Tompolo’s faction forces itself onto the state, it won’t just be a matter of holding power for a term—it will be the start of a political dynasty. They will never allow power to be handed over to another senatorial district. Instead, they will perpetually produce the governor, while those now clamoring for the monopoly of the pipeline surveillance will continue to be paid to justify this control—even at the expense of their own people and tribe. Fejiro Oliver has seen this playbook before, and he can see through their dangerous plans.

Fejiro Oliver insists that the decentralization of the pipeline surveillance should be a matter of life or death for non-Gbaramatu Ijaws, Urhobos, Bayelsans, Rivers, Ohaji-Egbema, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Itsekiri, Isoko, Ilaje, and Cross River people. This is not just a matter of politics—it’s about their very survival.

Their desperation has driven them to gather irrelevant kings—mostly just warrant chiefs from Urhobo, Isoko, Imo, Ndokwa, Rivers, and even some Warri council of chiefs. They’re lobbying to create pressure to renew the pipeline contract exclusively for them. These men—old and young, bribed and compromised—don’t understand the simple truth: he who controls the region’s money controls its politics, and politics controls the economy of a people.

So why this desperation to cling to the pipeline surveillance deal? Fejiro Oliver asks, is it because decentralization would stop the secret oil bunkering and illicit crude lifting that have been going on unchecked? No community will allow secret vessels to lift crude oil anymore if they’re in charge—paid by their own people, not by Tantita.

Decentralization isn’t just about spreading the wealth—it’s about closing the loopholes that have allowed a few individuals to become extraordinarily wealthy in ways no surveillance contract can fully explain. Fejiro Oliver knows this, and he’s certain that those who are fighting decentralization know it too. That’s why they’re afraid.

We are now entering the phase of terrorism financing and money laundering in this agitation, and Fejiro Oliver has evidence. If they want to continue with their baseless propaganda, he will release the evidence—accounts, money movements, and BVNs—starting Monday. The Federal Government and the international community, especially the UK and US, must now intervene. Though they’ve done some good so far, Fejiro Oliver calls for them to be much more brutal in dealing with the new revelations.

Fejiro Oliver urges you to protect your tribe, protect your people, and demand unequivocal decentralization of the N2.1 trillion pipeline surveillance. If not, these Gbaramatu factions will push you into political and economic extinction before the contract is renewed, and the coffin is sealed.

As Fejiro Oliver echoes the words of Rufai Oseni on Arise TV: "Will somebody die if this pipeline surveillance is decentralized?"

If the wealth won’t flow to all, then let it flow to none. Guard your pipeline, and Fejiro Oliver will guard his own.
