POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
It’s concerning the real time data coming out from Bille; as captured about 8 hours ago and everyday it stays within this range as we’ve monitored closely for about 3 weeks. Now we can be specific and trace the source of their frequent health issues, fainting and stroke to the quality of air. @mediamaji deployed air quality monitoring machine which can be seen in real time at www.datacab.io and in our opinion this is very pivotal to advocacy at large. But beyond that, these numbers are shocking… 45x standard reading…. Bille is a ticking time bomb and living there is almost like suicide. But where will that full community go. Once more we are reminded of the failure of the Nigerian State to protect lives and property of the people they’ve been exploiting and making billions from every year. Check the data yourself.

The backstory behind “Boiling Waters,” a powerful and reflective documentary based on true events in Bille Kingdom, Rivers State, Nigeria, is one rooted in deep passion, empathy, and a desire to tell a story that truly matters. Our team, graciously hosted by @bille.voice, spent four days immersed in the community. We wanted to soak it all in. We wanted to listen, observe, connect, and understand what it truly means to live with these realities every single day. We didn't just want to tell a story from what we had read, heard, or researched. We wanted to experience the community beyond the lens of our cameras. We needed to translate our HEAD KNOWLEDGE into HEART KNOWLEDGE. And we did. Four days could never fully capture a lifetime of lived experiences, but those four days profoundly changed how we understood the story we had come to tell. Because some stories are not just meant to be told. They are meant to be felt. We are deeply honoured that this documentary has won the inaugural @africaclimateforum #ClimateStory of the Year Award 2026. For us, this documentary is more than a film or an award-winning story. It is a reality, a call for awareness, and an urgent appeal for action. As much as we are grateful for the celebration of the craft and production of this documentary; we also realize that the people of Bille are still living in this harsh Reality and need URGENT HELP!!!! Produced by @lincgreen_ Supported by @bille.voice Directed by @diolutobe

@africaclimateforum you so much for this honor For us this honor is beyond us, as much as we recognized the selection criteria and much needed expertise required to bring this story to life, our major focus was to show the world the realities of the people of Bille, which is a reflection of the realities of Niger Delta communities. Our story is only a small fraction of the full scale of crises experienced by the men, women and children of Bille kingdom; the pain, the fear , the concerns and uncertainty; and in the midst of this, the resilience of the Bille people. People who have buried loved ones, endured seasons of drought, water pollution, air pollution, loss of livelihood, flood, and so many other challenges caused by the operations of Oil companies and greatly amplified by climate change. This award and honor is dedicated to them. It is dedicated to the relentless people of Bille Kingdom, It is dedicated to Miss Joy who lost her life last month from the gas explosion while sleeping on her bed. It’s dedicated to 13 year old girl who told us to remember her when we share sachet water. Now What we saw, everyone will see. And beyond the lights, great dresses, amazing ideas, great expressions are people who are battling everyday for survival. People of the creeks, people in coastal communities, Degema, Ahoada, Omok, Soku, Andoni, Khana, Biseni, Gokana, Oyibo, Nembe…. And a whole lot more Host Communities who have suffered years of neglect, pollution, oil spillage , gas flaring… this is dedicated to you. And finally, To the young volunteers at @lincgreen_ , the indegenious people of Bille kingdom who told their story, @bille.voice who partnered with us to bring this story to life and to our fellow African climate story tellers , documentarians, innovators, and activists. We hope that as we progress, the narrative will change; from one of vulnerability to one of resilience and from one of resilience to one of greatness. Thank you so much…. And God bless us all.

🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶 🌾 Transformative Potential of Reducing Food Loss and Waste is the theme of this year International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. About 14% of the world's food is lost after harvest. Another 17% is wasted in shops, restaurants and homes. Cutting that waste means: ✅ More food on more tables ✅ Lower emissions and less pressure on land and water ✅ Stronger incomes for farming families Food security is also about dignity and peace. Where people have enough to eat, communities are more stable and women are safer. What will you do this week to waste less? 👇 #FoodLossAndWaste #IDAFLW #ZeroHunger #SDG12 #FoodSecurity Nigeria

COLORED CONVERSATIONS WAS MORE THAN A CONVERSATION… IT WAS A JOURNEY OF HEALING 🎨 Our Colored Conversations was beyond awesome. It was deep, relevant, and incredibly intimate. It brought together people from different backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life, creating a safe space where thoughts, emotions, stories, and even pain could be expressed, transformed, and painted into something meaningful. Inspired by the beautiful vision of @rootedrising1 and the idea of painting the change we want to see, every voice became a colour, every story became a brushstroke, and every experience added beauty to the bigger picture. Our participants came with burdens, and they left pieces of those burdens behind. We did not come to teach. We came to listen. We came to understand. We came to learn. And the amazing people who shared their stories, emotions, and experiences completely transformed us. To our hosts and founders of this initiative, @mizcjay & @diolutobe , we say a heartfelt thank you. This was born out of necessity, and we believe the impact will continue to grow. To our incredible speakers who showed vulnerability, courage, and authenticity; @phchurchgirl @gift_meelubari @hon.atosemi @inspirationwithlinda @doubrah_samuel @serenafrancis.h @eera_o , thank you for bringing your voices, your stories, and your hearts into this space. To our coordinators @nancywritess and all our amazing volunteers, thank you for making this possible. This is only the beginning, but the process has started, and together we will continue creating spaces where people can become healed, heard, and whole. We were greatly supported by @lincgreen_ @rootedrising1 @inspirationwithlinda @voices4changeng @compassionandcontrol @superwomanorg @lordreginaldsresorts Thank you for believing in this vision and providing the support that made this possible. When people are whole, communities become stronger, and society becomes better. There is still so much more to do, and this is only the beginning. 🎨✨

In Bille, the effects of pollution are not distant headlines, they are part of everyday life. @diolutobe explores how gas emissions and environmental degradation affect the community’s waters and people, while highlighting the realities communities face at the intersection of climate and environmental justice. Their experiences remind us that climate action must begin with listening to the communities living on the frontlines and continue with accountability, restoration, and lasting change. #AfricaClimateForum2026 #ClimateVoices #ClimateAction #ClimateResilience #YouthAndClimate

37 men went mining for gold. They came back in body bags. Nigeria why Arrested for "illegal mining" in Niger State. Days later, found dead in an overcrowded NSCDC cell-no air, no water, their screams ignored. Their crime? Digging for gold that, by law, was never theirs to begin with. Full story + the question nobody's asking loudly enough (first comment)

🌍 Do you that this Sunday, September 20th, is World Cleanup Day! Millions of people across 190+ countries will step out to clean their streets, beaches, parks, and neighborhoods — proving that real change often starts with something as simple as picking up a piece of trash. This year's global theme, "From Clean Plates to Clean Cities," reminds us that the waste we generate from our kitchens to our communities is a shared responsibility. A cleaner environment isn't just about aesthetics; it's tied to public health, dignity, and the kind of community we want to live in. You don't need to wait for an organized event. Grab a bag, grab a friend, and clean up your corner of the world today. 🧤♻️ Let's support and work for Environmental Peace. #WorldCleanupDay #CleanCities #CommunityAction #AmaclareConnect #environmentalprotection safeplanet

💔World Suicide Prevention Day 2026💔 World Suicide Prevention Day is observed annually on 10 September with theme “Changing the Narrative on Suicide.” The theme encourages us to move away from silence, stigma and misunderstanding toward open conversations, empathy, support and action. Suicide is preventable and communities, organizations and governments all have a role to play. Every life matters. Every story matters. Every person deserves to be heard, supported and treated with dignity. Today, we encourage open and compassionate conversations about suicide and mental health. Let us challenge stigma, listen without judgement, recognize when someone may be struggling, and help connect people to appropriate support. Silence can isolate. Compassion can connect. A conversation can make a difference. Let us build communities where people feel safe to speak, seek help and find hope. @amaclare_ stands for Promoting dignity, wellbeing, inclusion and stronger communities. Humanity is a global language and religion. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #ChangingTheNarrativeOnSuicide #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthAwareness #EndTheStigma
