See how people are trembling because of Ebola virus. We have been hearing d word of God for a long time, repent, give your life to Christ, fear God yet we harden our hearts. If we can fear God more than we do to this Ebola virus d world will be a better place to live.
Repent now and be saved.

I have received calls this morning to bathe with salty warn water but is not rational, medically wrong. No research have confirmed that.
I pray that this bathing with salt in Nigeria will not result to another deadly virus that may be more harmful than Ebola.

My candid opinion

Hmn....

Can anyone explaining this scientifically or the spiritual impact of salt?
Re: Re-bathing With Salt To Prevent Ebola Virus. by GentleMimi: 6:38am On Aug 08, 2014
Nigerians are one of the most gullible people i've ever come across! More religious than the white man who introduced religion and yet more corrupt!
Can't we use common sense? If u bath with salt water,then go out there and have physical contact with a symptomatic ebola carrier,does it mean the salt water will prevent u frm contracting the disease? Make we get small sense,mbok!
I was so disgusted when i got some calls dis early morning. Even my learned cousins and uncles sha!
The truth is people will end up bringing more harm upon themselves than good. If you are hypertensive,anu mi se ee oooo! You better control ur urge to swallow fake news before HBP go kee u!
The only prevention is to wash ur hands regularly WITH soap and water!!! Do not put ur hand in ur mouth without adequate washing.Ebola is not water-borne. Also take foods that boost the immune system. Shikena! In God alone we trust.
Prayers will not hurt either....

This stuff is serious oh! It is really spreading
like wildfire! I wonder who formed it!
My Mother just woke my siblings and I to
perform this 'abolution'. That My father who
travelled to our village in Edo state called her
and told her and her sisters in kaduna also
called her and told her to do so!
Like seriously, this is like a whatsapp/BBM
broadcast message(BC), but this time around,
people are really doing it! I'm about to do it
sef, because if I talk now, it'll be as if I'm an
atheist!
But I just wonder how this will stop someone from getting it! Nigerians! SMH

taking this rumor with a pinch of salt....if it was this mobile how come the whole of liberia and Sierra Leone hasnt been wiped out? and why salt instead of disinfectants??.
Re: Re-bathing With Salt To Prevent Ebola Virus. by Nobody: 6:50am On Aug 08, 2014
From my little research...I have been able 2 duly establish the following...

1..Salt water bathe therapy and Ebola Virus are remotely connected
2..Ebola Virus is not air-borne hence dismissing the rumor that the virus might spread like wildfire 2day
3..If you are doing the salt-water bathe stuff...good for you...expect a muscular tension and soreness free day..cos that is of course its only viable medicinal and orthodox benefit
4..The risk of been infected is quite minimal...well except of course you sit down next to an infected pig or sumtn
5..You want to prevent the virus...why not try a much more orthodox and viable approach...#seek God's grace

Using salt and water to bath is nt a "curative" approach rather its a "preventive approach".... since it doesn't have a cure yet, U cn prevent it!
