On the claim that under-18s can't enter churches or mosques: partly true. No nationwide law exists, but local authorities widely enforce policies that block minors from religious services and education.

...with CCP ideology. Churches and mosques still operate, but only state-approved ones. Religious freedom? Severely restricted.

🧵 @DaddyFRZ claimed on Honest Bunch podcast that China banned Christianity and Islam. That's not accurate; here's what's actually happening: China didn't ban either religion. What exists is govt regulation under the sinicisation policy, which forces religious groups to align...

‘They told me, we are watching you,’ a journalist in Plateau State said security agents showed him a computer containing details about his movements, detained him and his websites was pulled down. Another journalist said police described his exact location before arresting him.

The water those camels are drinking is black with their own dung, and four crocodiles are watching them from the back of the pool. This is Guelta d'Archei in Chad's Ennedi Plateau. The closest other crocodile population is 700 kilometers north in the Tibesti, too far for any crocodile to walk, which means the four still living here have been genetically isolated since the Sahara was green, somewhere between 5,000 and 15,000 years ago. DNA from a specimen pulled from this pool in 1997 confirmed them as Crocodylus suchus, the smaller West African cousin of the Nile crocodile. The lineage split from the Nile species 8 to 13 million years ago. Four females, all that's left here. The food web is wild. Hundreds of camels water here every day. The dung and urine load fertilizes algae in the still water, which is why it's black. Algae feeds the fish. Fish feed the crocodiles. The apex predators at the top of this canyon survive on the waste of the camels that come in to drink. Without the herders, the crocodiles starve. The water itself is a fossil. Ennedi sits on the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, the largest fossil aquifer ever found. 150,000 cubic kilometers of groundwater, roughly 500 years of Nile River discharge stored underground. Carbon-14 dating puts most of it at 4,000 to 30,000 years old, deposited during Pleistocene pluvials when this entire region was savanna. You're looking at camels drinking 20,000-year-old water in a canyon where four prehistoric reptiles are waiting for an algae bloom fed by the camels' own waste. Crocodiles used to live across the entire Sahara. They went extinct guelta by guelta through the 20th century. This pool is the most isolated relict population left on the planet.

This is Guelta d’Archei in Ennedi Plateau in Chad. Fun fact; Those waters host the last known colonies of an isolated species of crocodiles that roamed the Sahara before it was a desert (yes the Sahara Desert we know today used to be wet, green and lush)

What happened at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital yesterday is a national disgrace and must not be treated lightly! Calling on @officialEFCC to promote lawful conduct; to publicly call the officers involved in the act to order, @Fmohnigeria @nighealthwatch to protect our healthcare system, and the presidency @NGRPresident and @NGRSenate to look into this, so this doesn’t happen to any healthcare worker again. @UN @WHO @WHONigeria @UNICEF_Nigeria Justice must prevail. Say NO TO VIOLENCE AGAINST MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. Enough is Enough.

Guys, if you have had a misfortune in your life or relationship, Twitter is not the place to look for sympathy (unless maybe to raise money for a medical issue). Deal with your issues offline and fix any issues you may have privately, like a man! I am Ezemmuo. I know things.

Reckless and unprofessional conduct by the @officialEFCC is becoming too common. Deploying tear gas in a hospital like UUTH, with patients inside, is unacceptable. This level of disregard for human safety by security operatives in Nigeria cannot be justified. Officers like goats.
EFCC Nigeria@officialEFCC

Why EFCC Operatives Visited UUTH The Tuesday, May 12, 2026, visit of operatives of the Uyo Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, UUTH, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State was informed by the need to authenticate a medical report presented by a suspect under remand by Justice M.A Onyetunu of the Federal High Court, Uyo, for allegedly defrauding multiple micro finance banks, including University of Uyo Micro Finance Bank. The suspect had presented a medical report which required authentication by the UUTH management. The Commission wrote two different letters, dated March 11, 2026 and April 20, 2026, to the hospital management to this effect without receiving any response. The Investigating Officer handling the matter took the further step of visiting the hospital to enquire about the status of the request. Still, no response. As a last resort, operatives of the Commission visited the Chief Medical Director of the hospital on Tuesday to make further enquiries, only to be locked in with a false alarm and subjected to unprovoked attack by misguided staff of the facility who pelted them with stones and other dangerous objects. While within the hospital, the CMD reportedly directed that gates of the facility be shut, making it impossible for any lawful enquiry to be made. Police authorities in Akwa Ibom State advised the CMD to open the hospital gates to enable the operatives exit the premises peacefully but the entreaties were turned down. In spite of the hostility and provocation, there was no breakdown of law and order as the operatives exercised restraint and professionally made their ways out of the hospital premises without disrupting its activities. Enquiries bordering on operational engagements of the Commission are lawful. It is therefore necessary to remind the public and corporate bodies that they are obligated to cooperate with the agency in such circumstances. Contrary action could be deemed as obstruction, which is criminal with attendant legal consequences.
