My car insurance is currently with @Churchill my current policy was £301.
My renewal is £333 despite 10 years no claim discount. I call up and they offer me £307.
A quick comparison check, £272 with who?? Oh yes @Churchill but they won’t do it on the phone!
Scam
"Police released Armed Fulani Militia, we arrested & gave them their AK-47's back to them"
Gov. Udom - *"We arrested persons with fake army uniforms carrying 18 AK-47's rifles and handed them over to the police"*
However, the police hierarchy gave express orders that those persons should be released and their guns handed back to them.
We want to let the world know that if there is a breakdown of law and order tomorrow, the police should be held responsible.
All attempts to speak with the top hierarchy of the police in the zone and at Abuja were rebuffed.
- Gov. Emmanuel Udom. Akwa Ibom State.

Africa’s brightest are shunning SA because South Africans - especially officials think it’s ok to disrespect them, to exploit them, to harass them! Shame on SA. The rest of Africa welcomed South Africans with open arms during apartheid…@CyrilRamaphosa
A Ghanaian woman raised in South Africa was left homeless after her Durban salon was looted in anti-migrant violence in May. She and her 14-year-old son now sleep on the street next to some 200 other migrants https://t.co/uSm8cL6fqz
Australia🇦🇺 joins US🇺🇸, UK🇬🇧 in warning citizens about heightened crime and security risks in South Africa🇿🇦

It is profoundly heartbreaking to witness another surge of xenophobic violence in #SouthAfrica this week. Hundreds have marched on Parliament, thousands of families have been displaced, and lives have been tragically cut short.
These include at least five Ethiopians killed earlier in the attacks, and five Mozambicans who died in Mossel Bay. Thousands more are now fleeing for their lives.
To see South Africa turn to xenophobia is a tragic betrayal of the country's struggle for independence and freedom. African nations stood united to dismantle apartheid. Ethiopia proudly supported "Madiba," Nelson Mandela, in 1962 and issued him a passport so he could travel the continent. Other countries helped in many ways, including with political and financial support.
Disagreements and grievances must be addressed by the justice system and the rule of law, never through vigilante violence and collective punishment.
South Africa deserves better. Africa deserves better.
Stop the hate. Protect the vulnerable. Uphold our shared humanity.
