In 1956 commercial quantities of oil were discovered in the Nigerian village Oloibiri.

It marked the start of a huge oil industry for Nigeria but came at a cost for villages in the Niger Delta.

Chief Sunday Inengite was 19-years-old when prospectors first came to his village in search of crude oil.

In 2018 he spoke to Alex Last about the impact of the discovery.
