Comedian Sirbalo Blasts Delta State Govt Over Eight Years of Power Outage in Oil-Rich Hometown

Nigerian comedian Sirbalo has taken a bold stand against the Delta State government and Shell Petroleum, highlighting a glaring electricity crisis in his hometown that has lasted for eight years.

In a recent heartfelt video shared on social media, Sirbalo lamented that while Shell continues its crude oil drilling operations with uninterrupted 24-hour power supply, his community remains shrouded in darkness.

The comedian expressed deep frustration over the glaring disparity between the oil company’s facilities and the host community, which has been deprived of electricity for nearly a decade.

“Crude oil drilling in my community and no light for eight years,” Sirbalo wrote alongside the video, calling for urgent action to restore power and improve living conditions for residents.

The viral clip sparked widespread conversation about infrastructure neglect and the responsibilities of both government and oil companies toward host communities in Nigeria’s oil-producing regions.

In a related incident, a video circulating online shows Nigerian soldiers in Enugu forcing a driver to walk through muddy water after his vehicle splashed them. The incident on Nsukka Road has stirred public debate about military conduct on public roads.

Sirbalo’s call for justice resonates deeply amid ongoing concerns about resource exploitation and community welfare in the Niger Delta region.
