Very dangerous hobby. One English guy was strangled to death by his pet python. And the python didn't even eat him. |
Did you see coronavirus? I bet you didn't. |
Making America a shithole country Again. |
Evercurious:If you fail to see your period you will blame Buhari for it. |
Evercurious:Whataboutism? Tired old tactic. |
ursullalinda:Really? We must default, says who? The same country where a certain Mr. Dasuki went to the central bank and took out 1 billion dollars for campaign purposes? Nigerians have no idea what their leaders are doing to them. Should we even be taking loans if the same national assembly is not taking more than their fair share? When will they probe the Malabu oil deal? |
meccuno:exercise in futility. |
meccuno:Same tired old nonsense. |
Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube scrub platforms of viral video making false coronavirus claims By Jon Passantino and Oliver Darcy, CNN Business Updated 1 hour ago Jul. 28, 2020 (CNN Business) - A video featuring a group of doctors making false and dubious claims related to the coronavirus was removed by Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube after going viral online Monday. The video, published by the right-wing media outlet Breitbart News, featured a group of people wearing white lab coats calling themselves "America's Frontline Doctors" staging a press conference in front of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC. President Trump shared multiple versions of the video with his 84 million Twitter followers Monday night despite the dubious claims running counter to his administration's own public health experts. Spokespersons for the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. During the press conference, a speaker who identifies herself as a doctor makes a number of dubious claims, including that "you don't need masks" to prevent spread of the coronavirus, and that recent studies showing hydroxychloroquine is ineffective for the treatment of Covid-19 are "fake science" sponsored by "fake pharma companies." "This virus has a cure, it's called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax," the woman claims. "You don't need masks, there is a cure." The claims run contrary to multiple studies on the anti-malarial drug and advice from public health officials to prevent spread of the virus. A study found that neither hydroxychloroquine alone nor hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin appeared to affect the condition of patients at the 15-day mark. Additionally, unusual heart rhythms and elevated liver-enzyme levels were more frequent in patients receiving hydroxychloroquine alone or with azithromycin, according to the study. The video quickly went viral on Facebook, becoming one of the top performing posts on the platform with more than 14 million views before it was taken down Monday night for promoting misinformation. It was shared nearly 600,000 times, according to Crowdtangle, a data-analytics firm owned by Facebook. "We've removed this video for sharing false information about cures and treatments for COVID-19," a Facebook spokesperson told CNN, adding that the platform is "showing messages in News Feed to people who have reacted to, commented on or shared harmful COVID-19-related misinformation that we have removed, connecting them to myths debunked by the WHO." Twitter worked to scrub the video late Monday night after Trump shared versions of the video that amassed hundreds of thousands of views. "We're taking action in line with our Covid misinfo policy," a Twitter spokesperson told CNN. Twitter took action against the videos that Trump retweeted. By early Tuesday morning the videos were no longer able to be viewed on his account. Twitter also took action on a version of the video posted by Donald Trump Jr. and others shared by Breitbart News. The video was also removed by YouTube, where it had been viewed more than 40,000 times. Users attempting to access the video late Monday were greeted with a message that said it had been removed for "violating YouTube's Community Guidelines." A Breitbart spokesperson did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment. According to the website for America's Frontline Doctors, the group is led by Dr. Simone Gold, a Los Angeles-based emergency medicine specialist who has previously been featured on Fox News for her views that stay-at-home orders are harmful. Gold told the Associated Press in May she wanted to speak out against stay-home orders because there was "no scientific basis that the average American should be concerned" about Covid-19. America's Frontline Doctors could not be reached for comment late Monday. As of Monday, the virus has caused nearly 150,000 US deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University, and is on track to become a leading cause of death in the country. |
IspitonCowards:What I really don't understand is your end game. You can abuse Yoruba till the end of time but it will not move you an inch closer to your goals. Your efforts are basically futile. |
Just 800 Naira? |
Mo3891:Pictures of the countries where he will hide his loot. |
Truth will always prevail. |
If the soviet union can break up any country can break up. This type of hubris and thoughtless proclamations are exactly what will hasten the dissolution rather than addressing and listening to the voices of those who are increasingly getting frustrated with the union. |
wunmi590:OBJ is reserved for Enugu station.
|
Please let Ado-Ekiti station go to Francis Adekunle Fajuyi. |
V.I boy. |
One word: NOBEL |
ContractKiller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnd44Vx4s-U |
ContractKiller:See cowardice! No balls, no honor, no shame. This is precisely the difference between you and I. We don't make empty promises. |
ZZ22:Who ran away in "search of peace" leaving his people at the mercy of enemy soldiers? He was the head of state of a certain stillborn Republic. |
ContractKiller:Ok, tomorrow take your pet to the front of your shop and start telling everyone its name is Awolowo. It won't be hard for me to find you in Agbowo. If you are truly brave that is what you will do. But I bet you will act just like your uncles who ran to hide in the bush after eating all the rats in their houses. |
ContractKiller:You know that is not possible. |
ContractKiller:You wouldn't dare walk around with it anywhere in Yoruba land. That gentleman walked his pet in Iboland. He was your nightmare. Please tone down the noise, we really don't want a repeat. |
IspitonCowards:He had a pet goat named Ojukwu. |
IspitonCowards:I am sure you have no idea who is in that picture. Show it to your uncles and if they don't pee in their pants or fart loudly come back and call me a liar. That was a man who had a pet goat called Ojukwu and he was strutting around with it in the heart of Iboland. |
IspitonCowards:We like mouths like this.
|
IspitonCowards:I agree with you. Why else would Biafrans think they can take on their superior. They got beaten so much that they are still sour after 50 years. That is some whooping bro. |
IspitonCowards:The Biafrans came shouting nzogbu nzogbu by the time the omoluabis dealt with them, the few remaining were shouting "o gafeela" |
IspitonCowards:That is why we always tell you to read. Otherwise, you shouldn't be asking me who sent the Biafrans back home battered and demoralized. |
