I DID NOT start the salt cure rumor, only created awareness of d hoax by Nobody: 2:12pm On Aug 08, 2014
Many of you must have seen my thread where i confessed about starting the rumour www.nairaland.com/1848113/started-saltwater-ebola-cure-rumor/1

Early today Nigeria was in a Frenzy, many woke up rejoicing that there was a solution at last!

Mothers started calling there children that were far from them
Many exhausted there airtime calling their loved ones and telling them there was a solution at last.
Many said the message was from the Ministry of Health, others said it was the Americans that came up with the solution, some said it was T.B Joshua.

SALT IN WARM WATER WHEN INGESTED AND USED FOR BATHING COULD SHEILD U FROM EBOLA INFECTION!!!

Hmmmm....

I weep for Nigeria!
I weep for our youths!
I weep for the future leaders!
I weep for our Education sector!
I weep for our so-called Undergraduates, Graduates, professors and so-called intellectuals!

Over time i have seen Nigerians Arguing and fighting over issues they could easily verify, just because they heard it or read it somewhere.
The reading culture in this country is pathetic! In a state of hullabaloo.
Every cock and bull story is easily believed!
For goodness sake WHY do some even bother to go to school! Manipulating their JAMB scores, cheating in exams all to gain admission into the University. There in the University they only cram formulars and theories and come out with "fantastic" grades! Many are the best graduating students. YET they lack the capacity to reason outside the box.
That is why we have foooools as our leaders.
That is Why we have No medical, technological or military advancement that is indigenous; we have to depend on "developed" countries.


Our government NEVER sponsored researches to find the cure to HIV, CANCER, LASSA FEVER and the rest, we are ALWAYS waiting for other countries to do the research!

What are our professors doing in the UNIVERSITIES. Those figure Heads, they like the title of Prof, DR., Professor Emeritus, yet they have nothing to offer in their respective fields. Some of them became professors by copying the work of their students mtcheww what a pity!

I kept shaking my head at the comments many made on my previous thread where I "confessed".

Imagine how hard i had to work to make sure my dear mother who has High Blood pressure does not start drinking salt!

Imagine how many EDUCATED Nigerians did not bother to verify the source of the message before broadcasting it to others!

Imagine!

It is time for us all to reevaluate ourselves and question that university degree you claim to have!

I hope we all learnt a lesson here.

Ebola is DEADLY! And drinking salt is More Deadly. This is not time to be peddling rumours.

Let us do the right things and only adhere to instructions from authorized bodies.


(Note i did not create the original prank message, i created my first thread, imaging if only whoever started the wicked rumour of drinking and bathing with salt water could have confessed)

Yours
Adesewa (my pseudonym)


Seun, mukina2, mynd44 take note of this please.

Come you this girl/guy....I missed your first post where you confessed. You have done that part...I read it...I had no problem with you. But you still opened another thread to insult Nigerians. You're a very big fool for opening this thread. Wait? Are you trying to get celebrity status from this or what? How are our professors going to lecture Ediots like you who instead of facing their studies go fooling around with acts like this?

So starting a useless rumor like this is your own assistance right? And you have the guts to open another thread insulting Nigerians...You're a big fool again. I hope you get arrested very soon. I wish you stay around where I do by this time you wouldn't have the freedom to be posting another useless thread again. After spewing rubbish like this you still had the guts to display your location. Shows how Ediotic you are.

FYI somebody died from your foolishness today. You can go ahead and read.

Babe, in as much as you are the devil's advocate in this matter, I like your style smiley

Why would any SANE EDUCATED Nigerian believe the nonsense rumour you 'sent' out in the first place? Are Nigerians that gullible/easily deceived?

No wonder our political leaders continue to use us like football. They'll be chopping billions and watching our doctors go on strike without caring because they know the masses won't do anything.

PHCN no longer brings light for up to 24hrs, the average Nigerian has not one but 2(two) generators AND still pay NEPA bill on top, meanwhile I have personally stayed in a senators place where NEPA gave his house uninterrupted light for the 2days I stayed there. Yet the masses won't do anything.

I can't remember when last I saw hot water coming out of the tap of any government owned facility - yet our Ogas at the top enjoy these basic pleasures.

Let me allow others to give examples.



Nigerians are mumus! angry

Just what are you trying to prove here with this sermon - that Nigerians are dumbass and ignorant? First, I call you a Moron_ for generalizing this ish!

Now, Why do you have to lie in the first place? You think It pays to play with emotions? Just wait till the authorities get you, then you can explain better about your innocence.

The awareness you claimed to have created doesn't change the fact that people wouldn't be scared of Ebola anymore.

Besides, this isn't the right time to play around and get some attention. So weep for yourself because if the authorities get to you, You will sleep in Jail tonight.

Thought u said you were only playing pranks with your friends in the previous thread. So why talk about awareness creation here? You should create awareness in the right path. There are a lot of useful info and tips on preventing Ebola you should have spread like wildfire. Yes, Nigerians should be blamed for not verifying info but how does this awareness of yours help with that? Pls don't tag this awareness creation, it spoils ur case.

What exactly is your problem, why are you using this ebola virus to play with people. why claiming you started the rumour when you are not. You think this is a joke. Thats not how to create awareness. I never believed it because it was too cheap but not every can understand that. Think of survival instinct, or pressure from loved ones even health personnel fell for it and now you are telling us this. Dont play with a sensitive issue.

You are one of those i weep for. Rushing to comment without reading my post. I am sure that was how u speedily rebroadcasted the message of bathing with salt this morning.

I did not send any broadcast, i created that thread to create awareness and it worked!
Many more would have died if i did not take the fall. It made people read and educate each other

at the first part of this post i thought the op was stupid until i read it all.. Yes, salt increases BP.
If you won't drink salt water no problem. What i heard was that it was TB joshua that told Nigerians to drink it , how come another person is confessing? And i don't know what education has to do with deceit. You only learn the principles of ruling not the way you would rule.. Ebola is deadly i agree, it dos'nt mean that it will never have cure.
When malaria came into existence without cure it was worse than ebola. We should not panic the cure is coming

I used the medium to create awareness. It worked!
I am happy i stimulated a lot of discussion on what is fact and hoax.
Next time people will do proper research.
Thank you

You probably haven't seen a dying person before or someone who has been sick for long. At that point most people become vulnerable to lies just because they want to live. The problem is not really with our education because this stunt could have worked in any country just that the level of acceptance will differ because people have access to establishment that can help them verify claims and lousy sms. Abeg dont play with this issue, thats why people are insulting you while you claim to be creating awareness.

What awareness? How? Did u even read what u wrote in the previous thread? How was that creating awareness? if u want to create an awareness,start by dropping out of school or give back ur certificate if u've got any already cos u r as fo0lish as the educated people u weep for.I guess u scared cos u read comments about security agents coming for u.I LAFF and PITY U.

My apologies for ill speaking to you on your former thread, but I guess I reasoned with u on a fact, that no credibility of sources of our news and facts before broadcasting it, but miss this is Nigeria where if I have a medical proposition no one cares, and in dire situations as this people hold on to anything that gives them hope, who blames them? But the nature of ur " so called hope" gave them something to believe in but many complications comes to the body from too much intake of salt containing iodine and sodium, this on it's own is another disease outbreak you, use ur faculty of thought before publishing a matter as grave as this, my respects though.

That was a very bad rumour to spread; however you have driven home some very key points here that I am so much happy to see. I pray your rumour has not affected the health of anyone so adversely. People need to understand that not every poo they read online is true, sadly also I reckon many people believed this rumour because some thought it emanated from a Church, another sign of how gullible people are to what emanates from pastors these days!.

Moral of the story: Use your brain.
