Twitter is now being used by some Africans, including those from Nigeria, to distribute false information.
The January 21 tweet, which was liked over 41,000 times in a few hours, claims electrically charged stones were discovered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and many of the followers suggest vibranium.
The claim is wrong. Vibranium is not real, according to Wikipedia Vibranium is a fictional metal that appears in the Marvel Comics universe, specifically in the world of the Black Panther. It is portrayed as having various superhuman properties, such as the ability to absorb and store energy. It is not a real metal and does not exist in the real world. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is known for its mineral wealth, including coltan, cobalt, copper, gold, and tin among others.
To identify the component that might be powering the light, MandyNews.com looked into the viral video.
The investigation team at Mandy News deemed the claim incorrect.
However, at least some people in western countries who quoted the report confirmed that the stone is not vibranium.
Based on the information we have currently, it is possible that the element in question could be among the minerals found in the Democratic Republic of Congo such as coltan, cobalt, copper, gold, and tin, but it is uncertain at this time.
