Long overdue

help me out this period. first bank 3029609748 ify chukwuemeka.

Very necessary, especially here in Nigeria.
Was it not on WhatsApp that someone forwarded me a message that 5G means "devil is bigger than God".
Because devil has 5 letters and the G means God.
So 5G means devil bigger than God

Mark Zuckerberg can ban anthing like one Nairaland mod.. banning gives them orgasm


.

That's a good move. You'd be surprise those you thought are enlightened also spread and forward unverified messages and news.

Nice development

pocohantas:
I received this message sometime ago and didn’t give it a second look. I never do. Not until it was forwarded to me by the Consultant himself, after he asked if I have seen the message being passed around. He never had such conversation with anyone.

I jokingly told him it would soon be on NL. I wasn’t wrong after all, the next day I saw it on Nairaland

There's nothing scary about it. Thousands out there are already infected. The Alhaji in Kwara who was a native of offa whose health status was hidden from health workers at UITH for religious sake, being a notable religious and political figure whose body must not be hijacked by the government for cremation is a proof. The governor of Kwara even debunked thebincicent when the alarm was first raised of covid-19 existence in kwara, before the man was confirmed to be positive to covid-19 and one of the alfas who washed his lifeless body tested positive. The pandemic had been around since January because Nigerians visit the west alot, china too. The government shouldn't be believed. Those countries who evacuated their citizens last week knew the fed govt much more than we claim to know them. They play politics with the figure in order to protect their interests. They knew once the expatriates leave our oil it would be disastrous. Useless people.

Free speech is under threat. They want us to sit at home and watch CNN fake news

Someone else will come up with an alternative app that is not this unreasonably restrictive of the freedom of speech. Better Prosecute irresponsible posts not restrict audio! Wrong move!

There are thousands of apps on the app store already, you can choose other options.

I do not know what you are on about, but my point is very simple- do not circulate false treatments or data on the Coronavirus.

Most of them always give the impression that they are privy to some high ranking health personnel. Then they drop statistics and drugs that they claim are effective in fighting the virus. People rush to take those drugs without verifying the source of such information. They overdose on those drugs. That is very scary.

Very Good. Too much fake news flying around enabled by forwarding.

government would never tell you the truth about covid-19 because the figure is much more than reported . I just pity the north for hiding everything. Unfortunately, our govt would not prevent them from travelling to the south when the thing hits them hard. Local media are under threat. Only the foreign media would tell you the truth about our government. Can I ask you a question? Can you tell me where Buhari made his recent address in which he declared a lock down? Did you see channelstv, NTA or AIT speaker before him when making the address? No local news must challenge that. Only the foreign media, who has nothing to lose or gain from our government would tell you the truth. Only channelstv is trying in Nigeria and they always come under attack of the govt too, for saying the truth

True but all I was saying is, the government too is lying on the figure declared via NCDC. There lots out there who are already infected.

Well you will still need morons to use the app for it to be successful in thier fake news Champaign

WhatsApp still holds the highest numbers of users to date

Good. At least GamalNasser will stop forwarding fake "5g is bad" broadcast to my phone.

SCORPION1902:
Afonjas and their wide mouth can talk and talk.


Boastful species of apes

Get well soon

DropsMic:
Good...


I'm tired of receiving 5G causes Coronavirus / 5G is Antichrist nonsense...

Nobody has complained about news on Bobrisky and Tiwa Savage. Na only 5G una see.

Channels TV is Govt propaganda news. Have you ever seen them reporting what Boko Haram is doing to our troops or the onslaught against Boko Haram by Chadian forces?

sapientia:
The reason is noble and just but should be replaced by a more relaxed policy.

Real verified news are also being circulated same way.

There should be a way to verify some messages and allow exactly same to be forwarded as many times as possible.

This policy means I can't share a real verified news I received too to people that might need it.

There should also be a way to take away fake news from circulation.

Wechat and other Chinese chat apps have such capabilities and they don't have access to funds that Mark have.

Whatsapp should come up with a way to have news voted fake or real if it concerns covid 19 then have the fake ones taken down.

You have a point, but don't you think that it will lead to 'censorship'.
Censorship is what led to the early spread of corona virus in China because the doctor who first observed the disease in Wuhan uploaded the message on wechat groups to warn people but it was censored and deleted automatically and the doctor was arrested by police.

This is the way to go, I just laugh when my dad shows me some WhatsApp BCs pn his phone, like why will you believe this. I've told him not to forward any to me again, on Covid or not.

If you read a few lines into the end of my post, you'd understand better why channels ignores some of the news. The fed govt had attacked them severally for airing factual news in the past so, they've taken caution. There was a time they wanted to shut down the station
That's why after each morning's political discussions on channelstv, they'd state clearly that the views and opinions of the invited guests and contributors are theirs and do not in anyway reflect the opinion of channels tv

Free speech will make an app peak in no time!

Iro ni oo.... I just forward message to 5 contacts at once shortwhile ago

Xisnin:

Exactly my point!

herzernIsHere:
Any piece of information you receive on any online platform without a source (in form of a reputable news outlet website link) should be totally disregarded.

Reason I don't do WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. Oh and Twitter!

Nairaland is sufficient.

I know a lot of people who avoid these apps too, just that they have criminal backgrounds the most.

GamalNasser:



You think so
