Eight Chinese humanoid robots just danced their way onto the America's Got Talent stage!
Led by 26-year-old Wu Yufei from southwest China's Sichuan Province, the Unitree robots delivered a synchronized dance performance that wowed both the audience and judges. The act earned a unanimous vote and advanced to the next round.
The future is dancing.

The thing nobody tells you about exponential change is that it feels like nothing is happening right up until the moment everything happens at once.

IN CASE YOU DONT KNOW: We also have a Lagos State Law Enforcement Training Institute (LETI), as full Government agency which gives minimum standard ethical competency training to ALL our enforcement agencies across the State. It LETI also offers other more intense training services for officers too.

It was established in 2013.

Everyone reads the Prodigal Son as a story about a rebellious boy who came home.

It isn't.

Jesus told this parable to show us what God is actually like.

And the portrait He paints of the father is so scandalous, so undignified, that it offended every person in His audience.

It should offend us, too.

A thread on the father nobody talks about. 🧵

They tracked him for months across Abuja, Maiduguri, and beyond before pulling the trigger.

This was no lucky strike. The operation that killed Mainok began in December 2025 communications intercepts, digital monitoring, human intelligence. Nigeria's most patient counterterrorism mission.

[DEFENCE HQ NIGERIA @DHQNigeria]

PRESS RELEASE

UPDATE ON NIGERIA- UNITED STATES JOINT STRIKES ON ISIS: FORCES DELIVER DEVASTATING BLOW, ELIMINATE 175 TERRORISTS

The Defence Headquarters wishes to announce major successes in continuing counterterrorism operations in close coordination with United States Africa Command against ISIS terrorists in North East Nigeria.

It will be recalled that the joint strikes started a few days ago. As of 19 May 2026, assessments indicate that 175 ISIS terrorists have been eliminated from the battlefield.

The joint strikes have resulted in the destruction of ISIS checkpoints, weapons caches, logistical hubs, military equipment and financial networks used to sustain terrorist operations.

The operations have also resulted in the elimination of several senior ISIS leaders, including Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, one of the most significant ISIS operatives in the world.

Al-Minuki played a central role in ISIS external operations, coordinating terrorist financing, recruitment, logistics and attack planning targeting Nigerians and innocent civilians around the world. His death severely disrupts ISIS command, operational coordination and external attack networks.

Other terrorist figures eliminated include Abd-al Wahhab, ISWAP senior leader responsible for coordinating attacks and distributing propaganda, Abu Musa al-Mangawi, ISWAP senior member and Abu al-Muthanna al-Muhajir, ISWAP senior media production team manager and close confidant to al-Minuki.

The joint strikes have further reinforced what the Armed Forces of Nigeria have consistently done over the years - hunt down and kill terrorists anywhere they are in Nigeria.

The joint operations will continue to hunt down and destroy those who threaten our nation and regional stability.

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.

Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.
