Budaatum. Oxford research finds Hydroxychloroquin is helpful on COVID.

https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004428
You obviously did not go to school, so I don't expect you to understand what you read.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has proved ineffective in treating patients hospitalised with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), but uncertainty remains over its safety and efficacy in chemoprevention.

Panadol is likely as effective in treating patients not hospitalised with Coronavirus Disease 2019, but it wouldn't be used to treat hospitalised patients now, would it!?

Here's an anecdote. I once fell ill, and during diagnosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome was suspected and I was given an intravenous treatment that was 3 doses. After the second dose it was determined I did not have Guillain-Barré syndrome, and the drug I was being given was pointless. I searched the drug online and found a dose was £500. I had received 2 doses, which was 1k, and so told them not to bother with the third. But they insisted I take all 3 as it would do me more good than harm. All I could think was, what if I was paying for this? £1500 down the drain!

Have you paid the school fees of those you are responsible for? I don't want them to turn out stupid like you please.

I may not really have had any problem with subsidy removal if the government had done their homework before removing it, I think I've explained this thing to you before...
Our government is incompetent. No argument there.

Before subsidy removal, the World Bank and co did numerous studies on the impact of subsidy removal, and money was given, which the government should have added to to help alleviate the impending sufferings, but here we are.

Fact is, government can not continue to afford to subsidise, and fuel and most other things are bound to become a lot more expensive.

Tinubu said the Nigeria economy will be in trillions, and this is how we will get there. Minimum wages of ₦70k is likely to be ₦700k in a very few years time and it still would not make fuel any cheaper.

Which people? Facts are, some people will afford it and some won't. Same as some can afford to buy cars and some can't.

Or do you want government to subsidise it for you?

After setting it free what happens next?
Next, it is sold at the price the seller wants, and buyers have a choice whether to buy or not.

We will have to ensure there is no prize fixing of course, and that sellers don't collude to set prices, which, considering iya loja setting gari price in the market might not be so easy, but its still the way to go.

And before you ask, yes, it will be more expensive than it currently is, just as free market has made the dollar dearer.

Made me think to add the following to show the lies some live.

Ruby Franke, a mother of six who gave online parenting advice via a popular YouTube channel, was sentenced to four prison terms of between one and 15 years each, on aggravated child abuse charges on Tuesday.

Franke, 42, who had 2.3 million followers on her now-deleted 8 Passengers video channel, was arrested in the southern Utah city of Ivins last August after her malnourished 12-year-old son, with open wounds and bound with duct tape, climbed out of a window at the home of Jodi Hildebrandt, owner of a self-improvement counseling business, to ask for food and water from a neighbor.

Crime › Dominique Pélicot Admits He's A Rapist by budaatum(op): 2:19pm On Sep 17, 2024
Dominique Pélicot tells French trial: ‘I am a rapist’

A 71-year-old man accused of drugging his wife so he and scores of strangers could assault her has told a French court: “I am a rapist,” as he returned to the dock after illness.

“I am a rapist, like the others in this room,” Pélicot said, referring to the 50 other defendants in the mass trial – men he allegedly recruited online to rape his then wife, Gisèle Pélicot.

He added: “I am guilty of what I did – I say to my wife, my children, my grandchildren … I regret what I’ve done and I ask for forgiveness, even if it’s unforgivable.” He added: “She [Gisèle Pélicot] did not deserve this.”

Alluding to the other accused men sitting on benches in court, he said “they all knew” he was inviting them to rape her. “I am guilty of what I did,” Pélicot said, saying he admitted “the facts in their entirety”.

FBI could be worse because they have full time backend access and staffers inside the social media Besides they routinely snoop in on internet traffic.
With China, it's well known. Give us everything we want, snd if you don't, you can get disappeared.China doesn't have to waste resources going through petabytes of data because they are obligated to help mother China.
So, why sell tiktok?

Is it so FBI has access instead of China?

FBI had full time staffers in Twitter and Meta. Musk stopped that firing 75% of staff. Zuckerberg fired 11000 DEI and fact checkers.
They didn't need to hand over data. They gave them real time access to the backend. Twitter was a revolving door for FBI employees.
FBI CI Chief James Baker , who was deeply involved in crafting Russia Collusion joined Twitter as it's General Counsel. Musk if I'm WRITE fired him.
Are you admitting China's access to tiktok is same as FBI access to Zuckerberg and Musk?

Politics › Re: What Would Happen If Nigeria Tried Australia's New Policy? by budaatum: 12:58am On Sep 17, 2024
P.s. Link in op is dishonest!

Does Nigeria need a policy that says kids under 16 can't do Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat? It sounds like asking for a law so your kids under 16 can't do sex.

Why not just not buy your under 16 kids a phone and data so they can't do Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat? Or do they have a job paying them a wage, in which case, they ain't really kids no more despite being under 16, and a law against child labour might be a better law to have, perhaps.

Australia's law won't stop kids inder.16 from doing Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, I don't think, just as America's laws don't stop underage drinking and drugging and sex.

Smart parents will educate their kids so they do what's right instead.

You don't understand communist china. Everyone is mandated to provide mother china with any resources available to him/her in NJ their great march forward. Thus China authorities can wake up one day and demand any data from TikTok. Chinese expatriates who work outside are reminded that their actions abroad can affect their families back home .
One of the greatest traitors is Tim Tampon Walz. He allowed Chinese 'police stations' ie Chinese agents intimidating Xi critics who are in America.
When it suits you, I'm certain you'd remind me of a conspiracy that involves Zuckerberg and Musk handing data over to the FBI. You just need to wake up one day first.

madridguy:
I don't know the community the OP is from, but my judgement is based on what is common in most areas. There is no community youth without community elders. I believe those guys are acting on directives of the elders and I can bet you, if police arrest the youth chairman today you see the elders behind him.
It is not "common in most areas" that "street community youth chairman and the rest" are the law of a community. Some people may subject themselves to such laws, but you wouldn't find an educated person who knows the Constitution subjecting themselves to the law of community youth chairman unless they've received an undeserved favourable judgement they might not have received in a normal court.

The fact op mentioned whipping made me think of hisbah police in Kano or some similar community, and it would only apply to those who subject themselves to such law, as I can't imagine a non-local indigene accepting a whipping by community leaders anywhere.

Just imagine area boys passing whipping judgement somewhere in Lagos or Aba, and you might see how absurdly ridiculous it is.

To me, it as ridiculous as accepting to being doused in petrol and having a tyre put round ones neck then set alight. Most, or a significant some, would call it jungle justice in derision.
