Hand sanitizer is 60% alcohol and 40% washing gel. There is no need to even bother buying. Just DIY. Face masks especially those surgical ones are for those that have it or suspected to have it to prevent possible spread of the virus when they cough or sneeze. If you don't have it you may be putting yourself in danger by wearing it because the virus could attach itself the surface that partially covers nose and mouth and when you don't take it off properly, you touch the virus. The ones that may even be effective(N95) needs training to be worn correctly.

Maintaining high hygiene by washing hands and bathing after self is better. Hand sanitizer should be the last resort when soap is not available to wash hands.

Modified

Also do the necessary by avoiding crowds and maintain a distance a far distance from anyone coughing or sneezing. Reduce or avoid too much refined sugar cos it destroys white blood cells necessary for fighting pathogens, exercise, eat garlic, onion, ginger, tumeric and black pepper, fruits and vegetables and stay hydrated to boost your immune system.

You should also research and ask a doc before taking tumeric and ginger. Both lowers the blood pressure and tumeric lowers blood sugar.

Your dead wood is the worst thing to happen to this zoo

nnadychuks:
people like you are the country’s problem. Are you a billionaire with this level of greed?

Free the guy jare...

-Face the government that will inflate the cost of this emergency at the end for personal gains.

Price inflation in emergency situations is not common to Nigeria... Its all over the world... In advanced and developed countries...

Even in sports... Football, boxing and so on....

Nigerians are wicked set of human beings

Useless country

People should search for and watch the video on Twitter on how to make effective face mask with ordinary tissue paper.

Nigerians are greed personified, they are no different from their leaders.

Backed by which legislation?

Ade24682:
That’s their business. I am already planning on getting large quantity of it. And selling at a higher price.

Just so you know right now multiple agencies will have the power to arrest and prosecute you given the circumstances. Your criminal act will touch health, which can be done by environmental officers, national security police and DSS. Economic crime Efcc etc. And if I get to be your prosecutor, i will research and give you a charge that is not bailable. So you can stay in the over crowded Ikoyi Correctional...and sell your thing at a triple rate.

pweeryambre:
Nice one, only if the retailers will take the warning serious.
meanwhile, new observation shows that the number of nairaland members suddenly increased in triple fold in recent times, or did other countries subscribed to nairaland.

do you think it is only Nigerians that visit this site?

Buhari got this one right 100%, anyone who unduly increases or manipulate the price of products that will help Nigerians to beat this coronavirus is heartless.

For this one Oga Buhari, take SAI BABA from me

idiots! other governments provide such for their citizens free but your own is to pocket 620 million meant for the fight of d disease.

Ade24682:

Then corona virus will be your first client and will buy everything from you

Yea prices will fall drastically cos there will be more of it in the system this will discourage the increment of prices

Alwaysachick:
No be person wey don see food to chop go buy sanitizer?

Federal govt do your part.....such items should be given for free and not sold at this point in time.

At the end of this epidermic, we will be seeing expenses running in billions spent on the invincible.

Ade24682:

People should go to any pharmacy shop and pay the normal money which is less than 200, if the pharmacy refuse to sell people should take over the pharmacy shop and dispense the sanitizers and face marks free to people.
We need to take control and not allow this selfish and enemies of progress holds us back

This is a right step. People are always quick to blame government for everything, but they will do worse if they have the chance.

Nigeria confirm first case of coronavirus In Lagos Advises Nigerians

LosC:
The Federal Government has warned that suppliers and retailers using the excuse of coronavirus case in Nigeria to inflate protective apparel will be prosecuted. It said sellers of face masks and latex gloves, personal hygiene products like sanitizers and anti-bacterial wipes, have increased prices of the products which are necessary in preventing infection or spread of COVID-19.

Federal Competition & Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), on Saturday, released a meomo via FCCPC twitter handle, said the inordinate practice during national public health concern violates both moral codes and extant law.

Babatunde Irukera, Chief Executive Officer, in a statement he signed, noted that abusing citizens’ sensitivity, apprehension, anxiety and vulnerability, especially during emergencies that could adversely affect national security is a violation of law.

It said the commission’s surveillance efforts have revealed that even reputable pharmacies and department stores are engaging in price gouging and manipulating supplies in a manner that distorts the market, or temporarily restricts availability in order to unreasonably/unfairly increase prices.

“Any conspiracy, combination, agreement or arrangement to unduly limit or manipulate supply, in order to unreasonably enhance price or otherwise restrain competition is a criminal offence under S.108(1)(b) and (c), FCCPA”, he noted.

“Any exercise or exploitation of undue pressure in selling or the sale of goods or services, or price manipulation between displayed, and selling price are also serious violations of the FCCPA under Sections 115(3) and 124(1).

“Taking advantage of the possibility of infection by a dangerous communicable disease to control supply, or unilaterally increase prices is predatory as it preys on the desperation of citizens.

“Considering the circumstances and the vital national interest/security this illegal conduct undermines, the Commission intends to strongly enforce the full letter of the law, including the fullest extent of penalties associated with this conduct,” he added.

The FCCPC encouraged consumers to be vigilant, and report such unreasonable or arbitrary exploitative price increase or trade practices to the Commission by telephone on 08056002020, or 08056003030, or by email: contact@fccpc.gov.ng

Nice

This is exactly what Buhari did in 1984. Force people to sell at lower prices( He used soldiers). So people only sold goods at midnight. I spit on this Okrika Socialism.

Inflating the price of face mask is not been "opportunistic" it been "Evil/Wicked.

Nigerians have always been giving bad habits good name since 1906.
