first of all those of you that are condemning salt on skin, from the natural school of medicine there is absolutely nothing wrong with salt except you have bastardized your organic and biological cells with unnatural, imported, foreign and artificial cells that react negatively with the natural and organic formation of your genetic configuration; reason is from my practical experiences I knew thousands of people that used 85% of their lifetime inside/on sea and they happened to lived an average of 95yrs without any medical or health issues( no stroke, hypertension, eyes, heart/kidney/liver diseases etc.People that lived natural lives lived longer and healthier than people that lived scientific lives.
Secondly, whoever that's responsible for whatever false information about a dreaded issue like Ebola are as devilish as the demon/satan. Shame on you, your mates are out there researching for solution and you busy joking about it. You're an advanced/technological/innovative fool of the highest order.

Whatever comes out of this your so called prank u should be ready to take the responsibility. Do you know that many pple's health is been threatened as a result of this careless joke?

I did a search on the poster's identity and found out some amusing things/facts:

First of all, I don't know why this poster claims to have started the Salt Bath rumour. I'm tempted to believe the guys who say he is looking for cheap attention.

I discovered from his other account that this poster is MALE - and not FEMALE (as he wants us to believe).
His other account also had the emblem or insignia of his company - GEESAM and his real names (MUYIWA OLAGOKE) on it.
I checked him out on Facebook and found about 3 people with the same names, but when I narrowed down my search parameters, it got me a 'MUYIWA OLAGOKE' who is an indigene of Osogbo, but lives in Akure, studied at the Federal University of Technology Akure and operates a small-scale Business called GeeSam Renewable Energy Limited.

I just heard that some SSS operatives have arrested some girls at FUTA who go by name FUNKE and are currently on a man-hunt for one Adesewe, who claimed to have started the Salt Bath rumour.

His phone number (PhoneNumber:08064837161; BBM: 28C98F98 ; Email: geesamuyiwa@gmail.com) and other details are displayed on his Facebook account. Even downloaded some of his pics (should anything happen to those girls arrested today by the SSS operatives).

Personal Message to the OP:
Guy, I don't understand what you are doing, but I just heard that the SSS has arrested some girls named Funke this afternoon at Jibowu Hostel of FUTA. This your madness has got to stop.

l was on transit, but had to stop and slept over in my bother's place cos of lateness in time. My disdain here is that, i was woken up early this morning by my brother's wife, who is a practicing medical lab scientist, with all the bluffs about the salt water thing. Worst of it all, she emphasized so much spirituality to it, from a supposed Prophet of God... And to my utmost disdain, she said the process is to be carried out within a fixed time limit... Aaaah aaah which kain story be dis one dis early mornin nah? A supposed lab scientist, prophet tell u say make u go bath with warm salty water and you will be prevented from EBOLA, she believed and even went on to spread the message....Nawooo!

My mum's people called her from omuo- ekiti as early as 5 am. They told her the same thing. She said the town crier made the announcement to the villagers. Imagine that. We even thought it was so called association of babalawos that spread it because ein those days salt was added to the water u use to bath to chase evil spirit.


My mum came to my room and started telling me about it. I just laugh. Na very cold water I use bath sef........

If you went to school, you would have learned to do further research before you had ur bath with salt water to prevent Ebola. Gush! What's with people? Haven't you heard of prank jokes Big deal it was expensive. Yeah so what?! Please people grow up and move away from the scare and just accept it was a joke. After all, worse things happen on April Fools day and people laugh it off.

DRealGeesam1: My confession and apology

Dear nairalanders and everyone who have heard of the ebola Prevention "News", My name is Adesewa, I am coming out clean because what started has a joke has escalated into the unprecedented.
How it started
Yesterday i was with friend in her hostel, we were talking about this Ebola out break, when one of my friends, Funke (she introduced me to nairaland) brought the idea of Us playing a prank on our friends. The first suggestion was to tell people that aloe very could cure Ebola, but we thought it would sound too ridiculous so we forgot about it.

Later that even an idea came to me (i now regret that i did it).
I decided to send a BBM broadcast message to my friends, telling them that the Ministry of Health has asked everyone to bathe with salt and warm water and drink some of it.
I sent the message 7:08pm yesterday

Later this midnight i started getting calls and messages that i should drink salt water and bath with it.

All efforts to tell people that i was the one who started the joke failed. Only my friends who i mentioned earlier believed me. Even my mum could me this morning, i did not know what to tell her.

I am using this medium to beg you all to warn and tell everyone, before they drink salt and damage their health.

Please dont be hash on me. I know this has gone out of hand. I never knew it will be this serious. Some have even added to the original message i sent.
I truly doubt if you are Adesewa as claimed. You heard NAFDAC will arrest anyone that claims cure for Ebola, so with this rumor that emanated from another source you decided to settle your scores with love love matter by puting another in trouble. I got the message before the time you claimed you were planing it. You will have anothe apology this time in the station for setting an innocent Adesewa and Funke up think twice they are humans like you.
Re: I Started The Saltwater Ebola Cure Rumor I Truely Am Sorry by tecno4life(m): 6:02pm On Aug 08, 2014
Breaking news!!!!!!
Saw it on CNN right now:
newest cure 4 Ebola virus is kerosene and sugar:
according to a report by CNN news coming from cambridge university Lab, licking sugar that has been soaked in kerosene could be the cure for Ebola virus.
Dr. Brown Hendricks who is the chief researcher said "they are some anti-viral acids in kerosene that could kill the virus over an extended period of time" the drugs has been tested and confirmed on two liberians that have caught the virus for 6 days and it got totally cured after 4 days of regular intake of Kerosene and sugar.
"we are going to take the compositional elements of these two things and use them to form the drug that could cure Ebola Virus" he said.
JUST KIDDING LOLllX grin

what sum1 sent to me:
If you received any message about salt in warm water preventingEbola and you believed and spread that message, here are somesmall 'tips' for you:1. Kindly go to your university, polytechnic orcollege of education and return your degree certificate2. Also please ensure you refund ALL the fees your parents paid for you. 3. And if you've not been to any school, don't bother to wasteyour time, money and resources because it won't make anydifference.
