INSIDE OYO NATIONAL PARK: HOW ILLEGAL MINING HAS TURNED A PROTECTED FOREST INTO A LAWLESS COMMUNITY. As some of you might recall, i did a light report about illegal mining carried out in Old Oyo National Park which is linked to Kwara State as well in 2023. After the report which, I remembered reaching out to Ministry of Mining, a taskforce was established to curtail the activities of the miners, it worked effectively especially at the Oyo state side but it wasn't working effectively in Kwara state. After the killings of 5 National Park personnel by bandits last week, which I broke the news, I carried out an investigation to see the level of compliance at the Old Oyo National Park where lithium mining activity is going, then i discovered the said mining has become a full blown community. The current number of illegal miners operating at Old Oyo National Park is estimated to be between 200,000 and 400,000, including individuals involved in buying and selling activities at the site. According to my research , there is nothing sold outside the illegal mining site that is not also sold within the site. Items sold include foodstuffs, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and various forms of hard drugs. There is also the presence of sex workers who render their services to illegal miners inside grass huts constructed within the area. Additionally, medical drugs and medical items such as needles, injections, and intravenous fluids are openly sold at the site. Explosives are also sold to illegal miners and are used for blasting lithium during excavation. There are thousands of blacksmiths on site who fabricate various tools used for illegal mining activities, including shovels, diggers, chisels, and hammers. There is a high rate of child labour at the illegal mining site, also known as Daba. These children are used mainly for sorting lithium from rocks. The illegal mining site is divided into two sections: the Yoruba illegal mining section and the Hausa/Fulani illegal mining section. Both sections are located within Old Oyo National Park. The road leading to the illegal mining site (Daba) is not motorable. Access to the site is only possible by motorcycle. All extracted lithium is transported by motorcycles to Bonni, Igbeti, or Soro in Kishi. This indicates that illegal miners access the mining site through Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni. As at the time of writing this report, many empty trucks are observed entering through Igbeti, Oyo State, heading directly to Bonni, and passing through Bonni to Jeba Oloru, Kwara State, from where the lithium is transported to destinations of their choice. They operate within the confines of laws established by the illegal minersโ€™ chairman, popularly known as โ€œCD.โ€ Anyone who commits the crime of stealing is punished by death. The area is so enclosed that outsiders can be fished out by them. A bike man who carries lithium from the forest to the truck earns โ‚ฆ12,000 per bag. One bag of lithium weighs 100kg, and they carry two bags, making 200kg. The miners are so familiar with the area that they can easily move to Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni in Kwara State from the forest while evading security forces without being noticed, because many of them have been living in the forest for more than three years without seeing the outside world. It is imperative that both the Kwara State Government, Oyo State Government, and the Federal Government get hold of this before it becomes a security problem for the whole country. Illegal mining in Old Oyo National Park is progressing, not regressing.

Kฤซlauea Eruption Episode 46 Update May 5, 2026, 11:30 am HST Episode 46 of lava fountaining in Halemaสปumaสปu at the summit of Kฤซlauea began at 8:17 a.m. HST on May 5 and continues at this time. Lava fountains from the north vent are currently reaching 650 feet (200 m) above ground level and the eruptive plume is reaching 20,000 feet (6,000 m) above sea level. Lower-level winds from the southeast distributed some tephra to the northwest in the first hours of the eruption. First-sized and smaller clasts were reported at Uฤ“kahuna overlook in Hawaiสปi Volcanoes National Park and between mile markers 31 and 32 on Highway 11. Hawaiสปi Volcanoes National Park temporarily closed some overlook areas on the west rim of the caldera, but Highway 11 remains open. Fallout in these areas has since decreased and the USGS is keeping Kฤซlauea Volcano Alert Level at WATCH and the Aviation Color Code at ORANGE. Higher-level winds are southwesterly, which suggests that the plume and tephra may be transported to the northeast with time as the eruption continues and the plume develops. The National Weather Service Ashfall Advisory remains in effect. Kฤซlauea has been erupting episodically since December 23, 2024, from two vents (north and south) in Halemaโ€˜umaโ€˜u, in Hawaiโ€™i Volcanoes National Park. Lava fountaining episodes, which generally last for less than 12 hours, are separated by pauses that can be longer than three weeks. ๐ŸŽฅ Video of episode 46 on May 5, 2026. #Eruption #Kilauea #Lava

Itโ€™s chaos in Yosemite National Park This is the first summer since Yosemite stopped using their reservation system There have been almost 100,000 more visitors than this time last year Itโ€™s so crowded the lines of cards are hours long and people are parking illegally in the meadows that are supposed to be protected โ€œThe line of cars goes on and on and on, all waiting to get into Yosemite National Park. People were waiting for like at least hour and a half and once you're inside, the waiting isn't overโ€ By 7.30 am parking can already be at capacity โ€œThe entire park, it was impossible to park. There's nowhere to park for anybody. Waiting to find parking, waiting to get on the shuttle โ€” With many getting impatient and just illegally parking wherever they could. There are people pulling onto meadows, pulling off pavement, going off-roadโ€ โ€œEnvironmental Resource Center says it was at least better than this. Without any limits the amount of vehicles, amount of people, it becomes overwhelmed. He believes the decision was good for business, not for the environmentโ€ You canโ€™t even take the shuttles theyโ€™re so packed, I found: Shuttles are overwhelmed, trails including Half Dome cables are jammed, and congestion is constant. Park staff and environmental groups say itโ€™s harming sensitive meadows and wildlife habitat There is no daily cap on vehicles during peak summer hours Many park employees, over 300 signed a petition, environmental groups, and former staff criticize the decision as prioritizing crowds over visitor experience Go back to a strict reservation system. There are way too many people

Here is the video & transcript of Franzia-enthusiast Jeannine Pirro indicting an Olympian for touching water. She wants to put a man in prison for a decade to bolster the delusions of the dementia patient in the White House. You could not, and you should not, make it up. โ€œToday is about accountability for damaging a national resource and national treasure and that is the reflecting pool that runs from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, which is of course a symbol of DC's, of beauty and history. Now it was recently renovated with significant problems and investments, any standpoint, undermines that and make no mistake that anyone decides they want to damage them, whatever they think the reason is or whether they think it's justified or whether they think it's not important will be held to account. This is a priority not only for the president but for myself as well. So today a grand jury has returned a felony indictment against a defendant David Hearn, a felony destruction of property for which he faces 10 years in prison. The indictment is when he responds to an incident that occurred on June 19th of 2026 in which the defended herm hit a piece of recently installed sealants on the bottom of the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial. The evidence shows will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that hearn willfully destroyed property at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. This was a deliberate act to damage the reflecting pool at the national mall that members of the National Park Service actually have worked hard to restore and have witnessed. By Hearn's own admission of June 19th he reached down into the pool. Our evidence for those shows that the National Park Service employees observed herm actually forcefully and violently pulling up and removing the bottom liner with both hands. According to witnesses herm damaged the approximately two square feet of sealants from the bottom of the pool. A parks employee actually told herm to stop to stop his behavior and stop what he was doing. Hearn reacted by shouting at that parks employee saying that she cared too much about the reflecting pool and why did she even care since it wasn't her pool. Now Mr. Hearn's behavior was characterized by witnesses as belligerent.โ€
