Rev Father Edward Obi, a leading civil society activists fighting against the effects of the oil curse in Nigeria has warned Uganda that since oil has been discovered Ugandans are not safe from the negative effects the resource brings.

Obi, the National Coordinator National Coalition on Gas Flaring and Oil Spills in the Niger Delta said Ugandans have been looking at Nigeria and sympathising with the oil conflicts and problems it faced such as oil spills, exploitation by big oil companies, violence and deaths.
