Oloibiri is a 2016 Nigerian action thriller film directed by Curtis Graham, produced by Rogers Ofime and starring Olu Jacobs and Richard Mofe Damijo.
However, Boma, aka Gunpowder (Richard Mofe-Damijo), a graduate of geology and a former employee of LESH, and his gang have become vigilantes in the oil-rich region and proving the nemesis of white companies and locals looking to further exploit the area.
However, things get pacier when news arrives that there’s been an approval for Foreshaw to extract oil from Otuagbagi, a nearby community- a deal worth $300 million in revenue each year.
But Gunpowder had infiltrated Forshaw and has a spy working as a personal assistant to the founder and director of the organisation, Mr. Powell (William R. Moses).
Whereas Azu and Dobra, Gunpowder’s accomplices in the US have kidnapped Powell’s family and his second in command (Mr. Sheen), ransoming him to initiate a cancellation of the Oil Mining Lease (OML).
Then we see a younger version of him in front of an altar with a Rosary, saying, “Father please bless my Rosary.” Upon landing, his body is soaked in a pool of crude oil pouring from the top.
Wilfred Okitche of 360nobs.com summarized its review by concluding that the film doesn't "... tell the Niger Delta story in a deeply effective and engaging manner, but it is a bloody decent start".
