The message is Western exploitation of Niger Delta, the local corruption that greases it and violent local resistance. “Black November” is due out later this year.
Amnesty International had this to say about the movie:
Amnesty International has extensively reported how spills of toxic crude oil from the operations of big oil companies, like Shell, have harmed people’s health and devastated their livelihoods in the Niger Delta. “BLACK NOVEMBER” brings vividly to life the terrible impact of oil company pollution and underscores the need to hold accountable the oil companies responsible.

D'Banj's New York Concert ft Mo' Hits Crew at Irving Plaz
AND HE MAKES THE NEW YORK TIMES NEWS
 |
| A version of this review appeared in print on February 23, 2012, on page C5 of the New York edition with the headline: Undulating in Sequins, He’s a Pop Star for Sure. |
D'Banj, the Nigerian pop star, headlined a show of African music at Irving Plaza on Sunday night.
By JON CARAMANICA
Published: February 23, 2012
There was talk of kokolets all Sunday night at Irving Plaza. D'Banj, the Nigerian pop star who was headlining the show, boasted, "I have too many kokolets around the world." Later on he wondered, "Can I get two kokolets that can dance better than my dancers?"
If it seemed like D'Banj, one of the quickest-rising stars in Africa, has a one-track mind - kokolets, in his lingo, are beautiful women - that wasn't far from the truth. As a style, his was as monomaniacal in focus as Miami bass, one lusty come-on after the next.
He is at the forefront of an emergent style loosely called Afrobeats by some, a mélange of hip-hop, R&B and other traditionally urban sounds with elements that hark back to older African styles.
In practice on Sunday all that meant was that D'Banj, backed by a live band, was a thoroughly accessible pop star. He emerged in a gold-sequined dinner jacket and began the night with a harmonica solo of "My Love Is Your Love," the austere Whitney Houston hit. Before long he was undulating around the stage, his microphone at his crotch when it wasn't at his mouth.
Switching back and forth between singing and rapping, primarily in English, D'Banj was never less than enthusiastic, an entertainer above all, and one used to much larger stages than this one.
Accordingly, the show had the feeling of a significant event. The crowd was slickly dressed, skewing young and African. Outside before the show a correspondent for the Lagos radio station Cool 96.9 FM was recording a report on the scene.
Along with the producer Don Jazzy, D'Banj recently signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label, a rare example of a mainstream contemporary African star being given an opportunity to work with an American record label. Mr. West recently performed with D'Banj in London.
But that's just one step in an evolution that's been unfolding for some time. Mo' Hits Records, D'Banj's home label, has a range of young talent, and during this show several label mates shared the stage with him: Don Jazzy, the brawny crooner Wande Coal, the limber dancer Dr. Sid (who came onstage to Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor"), the quick-spitting rapper Ikechukwu, the deeply charismatic D'Prince, and more.
D'Banj was the main attraction, but there was plenty of stage sharing among the crew. Wande Coal was particularly impressive, sometimes attacking a song with force, other times caressing it with a soft coo. D'Banj was maybe less nuanced, but that was very much the point. After one song that sounded like what would have happened if Michael Jackson had recorded a Nigerian highlife record, he shrugged and said, "It's not my fault that I'm bad."

D'Large in Secret Dating Scandal (Paris Hilton & Barbara)
 |
| Super Model Paris Hilton & D"Large at Harrods |
 |
| D'Large and Super Model Barbara at his estate |
Known for their penchant for standing out in their field of endeavour, Nigerian artistes would ever be in the frontline of media tabloids. The likes of Tuface Idibia, D'Banj, P Square, Wizkid, 9ice, Olu Maintain, Wande Coal, Skuki, Timaya, Eldee, Ruggedman etc have always been known besides their musical careers for doing one thing or the other that makes their fans across the globe go gaga with awe with regards to their private life (women). The latest to join this league of controversial musicians is no other than Europe-based Nigerian artiste Solomon Onyebuchi Nwosu better known as D'Large.
Yes he is at it again but this time instead of his music, we have it on good authority that there is a tough ruse going on between a Europe-based top model by name Barbara and another controversial United States of America top model Paris Hilton. What most may no be privy to is that D'Large is the cause of this cold war between Barbara and Paris Hilton.
The soft-spoken and calm dreadlocks-trotting contemporary Hip-Pop/Rap Dancehall sensation who came into limelight with his hit single 'Marry Dem' (featuring Ghanian Sandaz Black) that had a tremendously loved video; is known to be having a hush hush romance with both ladies unknown to them. All hell broke loose when pictures of both ladies in separate flicks with D'Large leaked unto the internet. He is having a secret affair with Paris whom he goes shopping with in such highbrow fashion spots like Harrods on one hand and still maintains a juicy rumpus with Barbara whom is always by his side.
When our private source was pressed with more information as to the extent of the beef, he/she did not want to be quoted but assured us that this is a serious issue. Attempts to elicit comments from either ladies are still in progress.
He is believed to be currently in Nigeria putting finishing touches to his forthcoming album which has songs like Marry Dem ft Sandaz Black, Na Na Na ft Mallam Spicey, Do The Jegg etc.
We also tried his cell number in Nigeria and his personal assistant says they have no comment on the issue. Is he in hiding? Doing the Jegg on these ladies or Marrying Dem? Dunno but we will keep you posted with details when we scoop more juicy gist concerning the secret romance thingy *winks*

Thisday Awards for Excellence 2012
The Event Proper
Wife of former British Prime Minister and distinguished Queen’s Counsel, Cherie Blair, arrived Sunday from the United Kingdom as the special guest speaker at the 17th THISDAY Annual Awards, scheduled to take place Monday evening at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Mrs. Blair arrived ahead of former United States President, Bill Clinton, who is expected to arrive Monday to headline the awards ceremony and in addition to delivering the keynote lecture will hand out awards to this year’s recipients alongside Mrs. Blair.
Mrs. Blair arrived on board a British Airways flight from London, which landed in Lagos at 6.23pm and after security formalities to a battery of photographers at the departure hall at 7.15 pm, accompanied by a retinue of aides.
Clad in a simple striped black turtle neck sweatshirt and white pants, Mrs. Blair looked relaxed and walked casually like one very familiar with her environment.
Before she boarded a Land Cruiser sports utility vehicle in a motorcade that whisked her away from the airport, the wife of the former British PM took time to exchange pleasantries with everyone that facilitated her arrival at the airport.
Clinton and Blair will feature prominently in this year’s awards that will honour 55 Nigerian women of distinction and 25 other Nigerians who have distinguished themselves in their various spheres of endeavour as Lifetime Achievement honourees.
Blair is a leading human rights lawyer and a passionate campaigner for women’s equality across the world. Her determination to help women overcome prejudice has seen her visit and speak in many countries.
She also actively promotes work-life balance policies, having herself experienced the pressures of combining a demanding career with being the wife of Tony Blair and a mother of four.
There was nothing in Cherie Blair’s background to suggest such a distinguished career. Having been brought up by a single mother in a modest home in Liverpool, she was the first member of her family to attend university. But having won a place at the London School of Economics, she graduated with first class honours in law and went on to top her class in her Bar examinations.
She met and married Tony Blair in 1980 when they were both lawyers. They have four children, the youngest, Leo, being the first born to a serving prime minister for over a century.
Cherie Blair combined her legal career with bringing up the family and, in 1995, was appointed Queen’s Counsel as the most senior lawyers in England are known. She specialises in employment and human rights law and is regularly asked to appear in courts abroad. She also serves as a part-time judge.
William (Bill) Jefferson Clinton was the first president on the platform of the Democratic Party in six decades to be elected twice – first in 1992 and then in 1996. Under his leadership, the country enjoyed the strongest economy in a generation and the longest economic expansion in U.S. history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs.
After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to strengthen the capacity of people in the US and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence. Today the Foundation has staff and volunteers around the world working to improve lives through several initiatives, including the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative (now the Clinton Health Access Initiative, a separate non-profit organisation) which is helping two million people living with HIV/AIDS access lifesaving drugs.
Other initiatives – including the Clinton Climate Initiative, the Clinton Hunter Development Initiative, and the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative – are applying a business-oriented approach worldwide to fight climate change and develop sustainable economic growth in Africa and Latin America.
Meanwhile, the 80s funk and R&B U.S. based group, Earth Wind and Fire, which was supposed to perform at the awards, will not be performing as planned. Their performance, according to their handlers, has been postponed due to logistics and scheduling issues.

AYODEL - FUJI JAZZ MAESTRO
“Music is a life source for me, I breathe and live music”. These are the words of the very talented and vibrant young lead guitarist, Ayodel. Ayodele affectionately called “Ayodel” is originally from Nigeria but currently based in Johannesburg, South Africa. He became involved in the Music Industry at a very early age mainly as a choir member in his church and has since grown to work with and among great musicians.
The journey started in 1991 when he joined the late Evangelist SUNNY OKOSUNS Band and started doing what he loves to do.
And his first show with the Band was the "CHILDREN OF AFRICA CONCERT" that hosted great musicians around the world with the likes of COOL AND GANG, COMMODORES, RITA MARLEY, SHABA RANKS, MARIAM MAKEBA, MANUE DIBANGO, KING SUNNY ADE, MAJEK FASHEK, SUNNY OKOSUNS, THIRD WORLD and a whole lot of other great musicians on the musical train. He toured excessively with the band round Europe and African countries.
Ayodel’s talent is God given and rare as he plays different genre of music thus pushing the boundaries of stereotypes. His passion and conviction for what he does is felt through all his musical works.
PROJECTS
He recorded six albums with the Late Sonny Okosuns and has produced other musicians.
In 2004 he recorded his first album titled MAJO MAYO which is a combination of Gospel, Afro and Juju music
His latest release "Double Portion" is a special tribute to the Lord for all that He has done in Ayodel’s life. It is a dedication to the Almighty for all the favour bestowed upon Ayodel in the past years. The music is a blend of Gospel, Soul and Jazz with an African twist. It is a phenomenal masterpiece with a variety of groovy sounds that can be enjoyed at any given time and place. It is a true reflection of the God given talent. It is a pointer that this young talent is bound for great heights.
While in South Africa the soft spoken juju maestro has performed in various concerts and events/venues such as THE BLUEROOMS, BASSLINE, MOYO to mention a few. And has also shared the stage with the likes of MALAIKA, MXO, KUNLE AYO, SIHPOKAZI and other South African great musicians.
With the passion, love, experience and skill he acquired over the years in music he came up with his first JAZZ album in 2007, which took him about a year and five months to round off. It came out a resounding success.The album is a combination of Afro, Smooth Jazz with West African and Gospel feel that is for all walks of life irrespective of inclination.
STYLE
In his words, "I really don't play one particular brand of music. I approach my songs the way they come to me then I decide the style I want to use to send my message across to people but my passion to be a Jazz guitarist I'd say always influences my music and style of play".
INFLUENCE
I get inspiration from above as God is the Giver of all Gifts. I also get inspired by other greats around the world like George Benson, Earl Klugh, Norman Brown, Pat Martino etc.
