The ROK TV boss has once again spoken her mind, this time about the sorry state of infrastructure in Delta State’s commercial hub.
—
Nollywood actress and entertainment entrepreneur Mary Remy Njoku is not one to bite her tongue — and she proved that once again when she took aim at the Osubi Airport in Warri, Delta State, describing the facility in terms that will make any self-respecting Nigerian nod in agreement.
The ROK TV boss bluntly referred to the airport as nothing more than a “motor park” — a comparison that, let’s be honest, hits different when you’ve had to navigate the chaos of Nigerian travel infrastructure.
“This Is Warri We’re Talking About!”
Warri is one of the most economically significant cities in Nigeria. As a major hub for the oil and gas industry in the Niger Delta, the city contributes enormously to the nation’s revenue. So the question on many lips — and clearly on Mary Njoku’s — is: why does its airport look and function like it belongs in another era?
The actress’s comments have sparked fresh conversation online, with many Nigerians rallying behind her observations. After all, it is not uncommon for Nigerians to arrive at airports in major cities only to be greeted by facilities that fall far short of what a country of Nigeria’s potential should be offering its people.
Speaking Truth to Power
Mary Njoku has never shied away from using her platform to address issues that matter. From the entertainment industry to social commentary, she consistently shows that she is not just a creative powerhouse behind ROK TV — she is also a voice willing to call out the gaps in governance and public infrastructure.
Her question about Osubi Airport is a reminder that Nigerians deserve better — better airports, better roads, better everything. The Niger Delta, which has given so much to this country through its oil wealth, deserves world-class infrastructure in return.
The Bigger Picture
The state of regional airports across Nigeria has long been a sore point for travellers and business owners alike. While attention often gravitates toward the major airports in Lagos and Abuja, facilities in cities like Warri, Calabar, and Benin continue to struggle with underfunding and neglect.
As Mary Njoku’s comments continue to make the rounds, perhaps the right people in Delta State and at the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) will take note.
Because as any Warri person will tell you — dem no dey carry last. And their airport shouldn’t either.
