Given the uncertainty within the cryptocurrency market, investors must make well-informed trading decisions to prevent unexpected losses.

The market is rapidly adopting newer technology and unique utility tokens, leaving behind well-established tokens like Huobi Token (HT) or Convex Finance (CVX) Protocol. One such example is Snowfall Protocol (SNW), which has caught experts’ attention for its steady price growth and extraordinary future potential. Read further to find what makes Snowfall Protocol (SNW) so exceptional, especially against Huobi Token (HT) and Convex Finance (CVX).

Huobi Token’s (HT) inconsistent price trends

Launched in 2018, Huobi Token (HT) is the native crypto token of Huobi Global, a world-leading cryptocurrency trading exchange. The Huobi Token (HT) is an ERC-20-compliant, Ethereum-based digital asset, primarily responsible for reducing trade commissions over the Huobi Global exchange. Moreover, Huobi Token (HT) also offers voting rights and access to premium, VIP-only discounts.

The value of Huobi Token (HT) is significantly reliant on the reputation of its parent company, the decentralized Huobi Global Exchange. At the time of writing, Huobi Token (HT) is trading at $7.25, gaining 21.68% in the past 24 hours. However, Huobi Token (HT) is still trading 81.84% lower than its all-time-high price of $39.81, as seen in May 2021. Despite the ongoing bull run, the Huobi Token (HT) has shown a poor growth trajectory over the past few months, leaving investors perplexed about the future trend.

Convex Finance’s (CVX) short-term bull-run

Launched in 2021, Convex Finance (CVX) offers a relatively low-risk investment opportunity. Convex Finance (CF) is a blockchain-based DeFi protocol that enables Curve.Fi users and liquidity providers to earn rewards on trading fees. Curve.Fi is a decentralized trading platform allowing investors to trade stablecoins in a low-risk environment. Convex Finance (CVX) is known for its user-friendly platform and differentiated incentive structure.

Convex Finance’s native token, CVX, is presently trading at $4.33, with a gain of approximately 0.65% in the past 24 hours. The current CVX price is 93.03% lower than its all-time-high price of $62.69, as seen in January 2022. Convex Finance (CVX) has been critically acclaimed for enabling individual investors to earn increased rewards by staking their liquidity. Therefore, Convex Finance (CVX) is said to remain relevant in the coming months. However, experts are unable to comment on the long-term growth of Convex Finance (CVX) due to the lack of substantial historical data and detailed information.

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) offers an impressive investment opportunity

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) recently concluded the second phase of presale, and has been creating waves in this bearish cryptocurrency market with its steady price growth. Experts have predicted a strong upswing in Snowfall Protocol (SNW) owing to its futuristic vision and competitive technology. Consequently, investors are shifting their funds from other tokens to the growth-oriented Snowfall Protocol (SNW).

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is the premiere cross-chain communication ecosystem that supports fungible and non-fungible tokens. Using stable-coin and NFT bridges, Snowfall Protocol (SNW) will allow users to transfer assets across popular blockchain networks. Briefly, Snowfall Protocol (SNW) offers communication highways for quick, hassle-free asset transfers, enabling millions of users to engage with their preferred DeFi apps and networks.

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is enabled by its native Snowfall Protocol (SNW) token, which offers staking benefits and voting rights to holders. Investors can earn fees or rewards from bridges and participate in monthly raffles. Since the Snowfall Protocol (SNW) token is in phase 2 of presale, it offers a lucrative earnings opportunity for early investors, unlike Huobi Token (HT) or Convex Finance (CVX), which have already crossed their initial growth phases.

ENDSARS Protest and Tiwa Savage through the Lens of Transgression

By
Mutiu Iyanda
-
0

The word “transgression” can be traced back to Middle English, Middle French, and Latin. In Middle English, it is transgressioun, while in Middle French and Latin, it is transgression and tr?nsgressus respectively. Overall, Middle French appears to be the “decider” of which of the forms is used today.

Meanwhile, this piece does not seek to examine history; rather, it seeks to locate two cases within the context of the word as defined by various scholars and philosophers. In the previous piece, I discussed how academics define the term from sociological, anthropological, and philosophical perspectives. In addition to a series of books on the word in relation to others in the fields of social sciences and humanities, there are millions of contents available on the Internet.

Between 2004 and 2022, netizens in Jamaica, Ghana, Zambia, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, Uganda, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Singapore, and Kenya developed a significant interest in understanding the word through the Internet using Google Search Engine. Apart from searching for the word in order to obtain specific information about it, netizens in these countries also searched the Internet in order to learn more about immorality in relation to the word. This is not surprising because it is expected that they will easily associate the word with actions that do not conform to their society’s established norms and values.

The Case

Protest against police brutality

The protest began as a small campaign following the death of a man by the Nigeria Police Force’s Special Anti-Robbery Squad. The unit was formed in 1992 with the goal of responding quickly to robbery incidents across the country. However, in October 2020, after several years of the unit’s inhumane treatment, a video recorded to seek justice for the killed man went viral, sparking a nationwide protest. The protest gained traction online, with approximately 28 million tweets with the hashtag accumulating on Twitter alone (Ozulumba, 2021). According to my understanding of transgression, this incident could be classified as transgression because of the police’s inability to comply with existing methods of respecting and protecting people’s fundamental human rights.

Tiwa Savage’s leaked sex tap

Nigerians were inundated with information about Tiwa Savage’s leaked sex tap in October 2021. She is a well-known Afrobeat artist in Nigeria. According to her, her lover accidentally posted the tape on Snapchat and deleted it after realizing his mistake, but it had already been downloaded by a stalker (BBC, 2021). The stalker reposted it in order to extort money from her. However, Tiwa Savage responded that what she did was not wrong because it was natural for a human. She said “for doing something that is natural”. “I am that crazy I could put it out myself – you are not making any money off me.” Many people chastised her for filming sex acts in order to gain popularity. Others see it as the boyfriend’s attempt to harm her reputation. In other words, people are both sympathetic and insensitive to her situation. This situation aligns with Nagel’s (2017) submission that “the act of suicide and the displays of insensitivity toward suicide victims are forms of transgression,” (p.33).

It is clear from the conceptualization of transgression and the cases discussed that transgressive culture could be developed, fostered, and disseminated in different ways using new technologies. While Snapchat was used to infringe on the popular singer’s privacy, Twitter was effectively used to expose Nigerian police officers’ non-compliance with the laws governing how they should engage with the public and respecting their fundamental rights.

In both cases, I believe that online transgression culture will continue to have mixed results with serious consequences for personal and societal reputation in countries where people have no restrictions on what they can create and communicate through digital platforms. Gournelos & Gunkel (2011) stress this thus: “To understand what is possible in our world, we need to understand our limitations and those locations, moments, and techniques by which those limitations are most effectively (and ineffectively) challenged,” (p.3).

Regulatory Framework Governing Medical Malpractice/Negligence in Nigeria

By
Emmanuel Ifeanyi Ogbuka

As the saying by most healthcare professionals goes, “We care, God heals”. However, in rendering care it is important to always reflect the minimum standard of professional diligence in ensuring that service providers in the healthcare sector maintain compliance with their overall objective which is to do no harm.

This explains why there exists a legal framework governing the unethical practice of medical negligence, which is what describes the failure of a medical or healthcare professional to do their job in caring or treating a patient, summed up as a “reasonable duty of care”.

This article will thus be focused on the topics of :-

– What constitutes the Legal and Regulatory Framework governing Medical Malpractice/Negligence in Nigeria.

– What actually constitutes Medical Malpractice or Negligence in Nigeria.

– The extent of liability flowing from medical malpractice and negligence in Nigeria.

– How to obtain legal remedies for damages arising from Medical Malpractice in Nigeria.

What constitutes the legal and regulatory framework governing medical malpractice/negligence in Nigeria?

The benchmark legal framework governing medical malpractice and negligence in Nigeria is the Medical & Dental Practitioners Act of Nigeria 2004 and the Code of Medical Ethics in Nigeria 2008. This act is responsible for the creation of the Medical & Dental Practitioners Investigating Panel(or ‘The panel’) & The Medical & Dental Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal(or ‘The tribunal’).

The panel is entrusted with carrying out prior investigations into allegations of unethical or negligent professional conduct against healthcare/medical practitioners which get passed on the tribunal if they are found to have merit.

What exactly constitutes medical malpractice or negligence in Nigeria?

Medical negligence or malpractice arises when a medical or healthcare professional exhibits a failure to exercise the level of skill or care typically expected of his professional experience in the course of rendering professional medical services to patience.

Examples of medical malpractice and negligence are :-

– Making an inaccurate medical diagnosis in the face of manifestly observable clinical signs or symptoms that could go unnoticed by a diligent medical professional.

– Failure to obtain the necessary consent of a patient or his family/next of kin before administering treatment or carrying out a surgery on that patient.

– The making of grave errors in the course of administering treatment or carrying out a surgery e.g. leaving a medical glove inside the body of a patient after completing a surgery.

– Failing to do anything that should have been done in any case for the safety and recovery of the patient e.g. Failing to administer medical treatment to a patient in critical condition and instead asking for a police report.

– Failing to truthfully and diligently advise a patient on the inherent risks involved in carrying out certain courses of treatment or surgeries.

What is needed to prove the existence of medical negligence in any case?

To prove medical malpractice or negligence the following must exist :-

– The existence of a duty of care owed to a patient by a certified medical practitioner.

– The failure to exercise this duty of care.

– The failure of the medical practitioner actually being responsible for the injury or damage suffered by the patient.

How far does liability emanating from medical malpractice or negligence extend?

Medical malpractice or negligence can either be civil or criminal, giving rise in some cases to a manslaughter charge. Under Civil law, medical malpractice would constitute a more tortious right of action.

Also , liability arising from medical malpractice or negligence can be vicarious in nature, meaning that a hospital can be held liable for the acts or failure of even its non-medical staff to act giving rise to injuries or damages suffered by patients.

How are legal remedies for medical negligence or malpractice sought?

Medical malpractice or negligence claims can be made via criminal petitions in the case of manslaughter, commencing civil actions in court for damages suffered by a patient, or by a petition to the Medical & Dental Practitioners Council of Nigeria via its investigative panel and disciplinary tribunal.

If being found to have merit, the tribunal can either :-

– Reprimand/caution or sternly warn the offending practitioner.

– Suspend the medical practitioner’s license for a period of months

– Strike off the offending practitioner’s name from its professional register.

Google Sued for Abusing Market Dominance by 130k UK Businesses Seeking $16bn in Compensation

Google is facing a £13.6 billion (about $16.5B) lawsuit over claims that it uses its market dominance to oppress smaller companies in the UK, raking in billions in advertising.

The tech giant has been facing scrutiny over monopolistic practices from watchdogs in its major markets. But a class action lawsuit signals more trouble for the web search company.

Geradin Partners and Humphries Kerstetter filed the suit on Tuesday, on behalf of 130,000 online publishers and app businesses in the UK.

Details of the lawsuit, which were reported below by The Register, alleged that Google has been exploiting the plaintiffs using its dominant market position.

Google is the biggest digital advertising company in the world, netting revenues of $54.4 billion in its latest Q3 results. It acts as a broker, selling space on behalf of third-party websites to advertisers, who have to bid to earn a coveted spot online. The search giant controls up to 90 percent of the market in certain sectors, giving it the power to dictate terms and pricing, Humphries Kerstetter claimed.

The company’s anticompetitive practices, alleged in the lawsuit, have cost smaller businesses – like publishers and online apps selling ad space – up to 40 per cent, the law firm said. The losses incurred from 1 January 2014 to date for the companies in the lawsuit are estimated up to £13.6 billion.

Toby Starr, a partner at Humphries Kerstetter, leading the claim, pointed to similar antitrust probes, accusing Google of abusing its dominant position in online advertising, from the EU.

“Google’s misconduct in this matter is well known. The French authorities have fined the firm and multiple investigations are underway across the globe. However, none of these regulatory actions will do anything to compensate the UK publishers of thousands of websites and mobile apps who have lost billions in advertising revenue because of Google’s actions. The only way to recoup these losses is through a competition class action,” he said in a statement.

The US Department of Justice also accused Google of “unlawfully maintaining monopolies through anticompetitive and exclusionary practices in the search and search advertising markets” in a lawsuit in 2021.

A spokesperson from Google called the latest UK class-action lawsuit “speculative and opportunistic” in a statement to Reuters. “Google works constructively with publishers across Europe – our advertising tools, and those of our many adtech competitors, help millions of websites and apps fund their content, and enable businesses of all sizes to effectively reach new customers. These services adapt and evolve in partnership with those same publishers,” the spokesperson said.
