Some guy who runs Africa Oil+Gas Report just got absolutely torched for writing what looked like professional commentary about Nigeria's petroleum regulator, but was apparently just him being salty he didn't get hired. This writer, named Olasanmi, dropped a full takedown saying Toyin Akinosho published personal grievances disguised as editorial content and twisted facts to make NUPRC look bad.
According to Olasanmi, Akinosho complained about the regulator hiring someone else for their communications role and basically tried to say they should have picked him instead because he has a geology degree and runs a newsletter. The real problem seems to be that NUPRC started publishing their own data directly to everyone, which killed Akinosho's whole business model of repackaging their info and selling it as exclusive analysis.
Olasanmi pointed out that the regulator under Gbenga Komolafe actually cut oil theft to a 16-year lows and added around 250,000 barrels per day through new production initiatives, but Akinosho conveniently skipped mentioning any of that stuff.
