Frustration over the cost-of-living crisis has led to several mass protests in recent months. In August, at least 20 people were shot dead and hundreds more were arrested at a protest demanding better opportunities and jobs for young people.
“Oh we’ll reduce your cost of living alright”
So from the sounds they’ve been locked up for 90 days, but bail has been posted and they won’t die? What a confusing story to follow.
Bail was set at a number but not paid so theymre still there, and $5,900USD per child, so $59,000USD is probably not exactly easier to come by in a place as fucked up for the working class as Nigeria. It said 90 days “without food”, which I struggle to believe because I don’t think we can survive three months without food, but I can easily believe that they are not getting enough to eat.
Anyway I’m not sure what you aren’t following.
You’re thinking about water. you’ve got maybe 3 days without water. You can survive a hell of a long time without food depending on your bodies fat stores and eventually muscle.
I’m guessing poor children in Nigeria don’t have a large amount of fat and muscle to use like that.

I’m definitely not thinking about water but nice randoming shoehorning of that fact, I guess.
It does beg the question as to why, or how the kids are getting access to water but not food.
Kinda shortsighted, why kill off your next generation? Who gonna pay taxes for the social services needed to take care of your aging ass?
Yes, because Nigeria famously has a shortage of young people.
Most young people are short
