An eyewitness account of a discovery that changed Nigerian history. Chief Sunday Inengite was 19 years old when prospectors from the Shell D'Arcy oil company first came to his village of Oloibiri in the Niger Delta in search of crude oil. It was there in 1956, that commercial quantities of oil were first discovered more than 3km below ground. It marked the start of Nigeria's huge oil industry, but it came at a cost for villages in the Niger Delta. Alex Last spoke to Chief Sunday Inengite about his memories of those days and the impact oil had on his community.

really think this clip from #askgaryvee with Tony Robbins can bring a ton of value to you -  you hear Tony and I talk about an ideal we have in common, that we both view the key to winning financially in life as being humble and not buying "dumb shit"... This is supported by one of my favorite original films, really breaking down why patience is the game in long term growth.
