Ireland’s Cutaway Peatlands

Peatlands are water-logged ecosystems that can store thousands of years of carbon in the depths of their soil. In the past, they have been thought of as unproductive land. But researchers now know that these wet, mossy areas are one of Earth’s most important carbon sinks, storing more carbon than all of the trees in the world’s forests.

The two satellite images below show an area of central Ireland, near Ballyforan, where multiple peat bogs have been dug up for fuel. It was acquired on August 13, 2022, by Landsat 9. Peat extraction involves draining the wetland of water and removing the green mossy cover before cutting into the peat. Lines in the soil show where peat has been cut to make turf briquettes used for heating homes. Some peat has historically been mined for use in power plants and some is used for horticulture.

"Draining and cutting peatlands turns them into brown deserts," said Florence Renou-Wilson, a research scientist at the University College Dublin. "It also releases all the carbon they have stored away."

😂😂😂😂
Did you know!!!

On the 24th day of the 10th month in the year 2021. A black African man from Igbo Naton in west Africa , called Mazi Uba Acho discovered a Lake in Leicester East Midlands of England. This newly discovered Lake by Uba Acho shall be called Iyi Ojemba.

Just as Mungo Park discovered river Niger in Nigeria. A river Ogbaru, Anam and Onitsha people and ancestors had been fishing in and swimming in long before the great great grand father of Mungo Park was born. But hey! Mungo Park travelled over six thousand miles from Scotland in 1795 and discovered it.

Just as David Livingstone travelled thousands of miles in 1855 to discover Zambezi river in Zambia and Zimbabwe also discovered a waterfall which he named Victoria-falls. Of course all the people, tribes and communities in Zimbabwe and Zambia, who have been hunting, farming, rearing their herds in that area for centuries were all blind they couldn’t see such water bodies. Until a Scotish man came from Britain to discover it.

And up till today these are still in our African school curriculum, still being taught our children. And you wonder why we have adults and leaders who take no pride in being African. And what you have no pride in, you can’t value, what you don’t value, you can’t cherish, what you don’t cherish, you can’t preserve nor develop.

So today, I Mazi Uba Acho have discovered this Lake and named it Iyi Ojemba. Put it on record, teach it to your children.

Ndewonu 🙌🏿

I Want Father, Brother Back, Prince Harry Says In New Interview

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has expressed a willingness to heal the strained relationship between him and his father, King Charles III, as well as his brother, Prince William.

He said this in the trailer of the interview he had with ITV's Tom Bradby which was published on Monday.

He said, "It never needed to be this way. The leaking and the planting. I want a family, not an institution. If they feel as though it's better to keep us somehow as the villains. They have shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile."

"I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back," he added in the trailer.

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle left the royal family in 2020 to start a new life in America.

Harry's interview is set to be published on Sunday, same day as the one he had with CBS 60 Minutes.

Burna Boy had effrontery to curse fans that paid for his show, Nigerians react

Nigerians on Twitter have reacted to Singer, Burna Boy’s failure to show up on time at his show in Lagos.

The singer, who was expected on stage on Sunday, didn’t show up until early Monday morning, after which he went on a tirade against his fans for falsely accusing him of shooting someone at a nightclub in Lagos and that his mother used to dance for Fela.

A tweep, wrote, “Burna Boy to White People: “My Africans are suffering. Dance to my music, brand me a reformer and reward me financially. Burna Boy to the suffering Africans: “God punish una.”

also wrote, “Imagine what burna boy had to say. Zero apologies. He really thinks the concert was a favor to Nigerians.”

Another tweep, tweeted, “The situation on ground. Almost 2AM and Burna Boy’s concert is basically yet to start. Some people have been around since 9PM. For an artiste with the highest level of international exposure, this is beyond terrible and unprofessional.”

How much did you guys pay to hear Burna Boy say God will punish you people on the first day of 2023? wrote.

also tweeted, “Not sure when these Artists & Organisers will learn to respect our precious time. 2:03 AM and no Burna Boy on sight. No supporting act. Even the DJ seems as tired as everyone else. Didn’t know we were in for a full Night Vigil.”

Lastly, Olamide0fficial tweeted, “Burna Boy called Nigerians “Unprogressive fools”. After coming late for his show, he still had the effrontery to say God go punish people that paid for it. This same man will still come here to sing about oppression/oppressors when he’s no different from the people he criticized.”

Surprising

Nigerian Policeman did a surprise cash giveaway on expressway😱

In a video that was shared online, the hair vendor is seen confronting the slay queen who she nabbed after discovering she was in the city when she was about to deliver a new hair to her. According to the vendor, the slay queen is a regular customer who usually buys from her only when she’s running sales on her items. She realized that there’d always been an accounting imbalance and was reluctant at first before she found out the source. When she eventually got a hold of where the issue was from, she was fortunate to discover that the culprit behind it was around her city and when she ordered for another hair using fake alerts, the vendor decided to deliver it herself and in the process, nab the slay queen. Watch video below.

Obi Cubana's kids were spotted having a time of their lives in a video shared on his Instagram page. The young boys were spotted biting down on large chunks of meat served to them. Sharing the clip, their dad noted that just like them, any money he gets will be spent on enjoyment.😅
