“Is It Your Money?” is set to be a pivotal moment for Diezani, marking her first direct response to these accusations in nearly a decade. While the documentary’s specific content remains under wraps, its title hints at a critical examination of the purported corruption’s impact. The film will also feature opinions from Nigerians, adding a broader societal perspective to the narrative.
Jideonwo, known for his incisive interviews and social commentary, is expected to bring his sharp analytical skills to this project, ensuring a thorough and balanced exploration of the issues at hand. Though the release date for “Is It Your Money?” has not been announced, it is slated to debut this year, adding to the anticipation.
During her time as Minister of Petroleum Resources from 2010 to 2015, Diezani faced a barrage of allegations. These include the diversion of billions of dollars from Nigeria’s oil revenue, inflating oil contracts to benefit a select few, accepting bribes from oil companies, and laundering money through intricate schemes. Despite these serious charges, Diezani has maintained her innocence, asserting that she conducted her duties with integrity.
The upcoming documentary is expected to provide a platform for Diezani to share her side of the story, offering viewers a chance to hear from her directly. Whether it will change public perception remains to be seen, but it will undoubtedly add a new dimension to the ongoing discussion about corruption and governance in Nigeria.

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
