Smh.
So you think you are making sense abi

Pdams1711:


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.

Smh, for your sorry life.

JaaizTech: 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.

Nigerians!
Did you bother to read the post?
A rumour started this morning,
People started panicking.
They started drinking salt despite the fact that high salt intake can kill and cause other health complications.
They refused to believe it was a prank even after the Ministry of health came out to tell people it was a hoax.
I imagined that people will only believe if they original poster confessed. Since i know that would never happen, i created a thread to that effect.
Now many are back to thinking with their brains and stopped spreading the false news.

Do you get it now?

I know your problem. You bathe with salt water this morning and you now realize you should have investigated the news.
Glad i was able to stop the salt craze.
I am not a girl by the way so stop getting edgy.

Gaggi: Why are people so daft? The op said he lied about starting the rumour yet people still don't get it.
OP, ur topic is misleading. People are still going to misunderstand u because of the way u crafted the title. U should have written, why I lied about being the originator of the ebola salt cure rumour.
Now Mr OP, I don't see hw d previous thread helped educate anybody. People ended up sharing stories of who bathed with salt water and who didn't. People spent most of d post in insulting u. What u did amounts to looking for attention. If u want to educate people u could have come out with a well written article on how to prevent the spread of the disease.
U are not different from the people u are insulting and calling daft.

MymothersKeeper: i know ebola will catch you this month OP

DRealGeesam1: 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)

Seun, mukina2, mynd44 take note of this please.

beeznitfizo: The POLICE & DSS has already been to Jibowu Hostel 2day and made some arrest.The two girls who bear the name funke who live within that viccinity were also arrested & they both testified they know nothing about the rumour. U hv made Dekoites n Jadesola's run 4m hostel 2 bc of threat of police invasion

TheMasterpiece: This person is not a female! This is an attention seeking male masquerading as a female. View his other Nairaland account below, same name apart from the digit at the end. It can't have been a coincidence. The username is too unique for this to be a concidence. And why has "she" not produced screenshots of the broadcasts? Seun Mukina2 Mynd44 Obinoscopy , investigate this. His other account here: https://www.nairaland.com/drealgeesam

DRealGeesam1:
Cant you read?!
I claimed to be the originator just to raise awareness that nigerians believe anything without research even the educated ones.
I did not start the rumour!
