Beware Of New Accounts Pushing Tribalism And Spreading Lies by Pecuman: 3:32pm On Oct 22, 2020
By now you should have noticed an up well in accounts claiming everything from the Lekki Massacre being a fake video to Insecurity news in the North being entirely manufactured by bad actors.

They are everywhere, from Reddit to Nairaland, from Facebook to Twitter.

This is to warm the Nigerian people and especially Nigerian youths that they are individuals paid off by the Nigerian government under "operation crocodile smile" to spam falsehoods all across the internet, denying truths that we see with our eyes like Lekki and pushing pro government Propaganda.

This tactic is very similar to what has been called by Westerners "50 cent army" in relation to China, using paid accounts to spread Propaganda and lies useful to their government.

This isn't the first time that Nigeria has done this, in Nairaland some have called the the "200 Laptops", but this time they are in full force. They are typically new accounts and all their posts are anti-protesters, anti-change, pro-military and pro-government

And it isn't limited to spreading disinformation but also promoting Tribalism. Everything in Nigeria works with divide and conquer tactics in mind, from our armed forces to Bureaucracy and this protests have shown a level of unity never seen.

So they are also trying to use tribal grievances to break up the protests. Don't let them win, Youths of Nigeria, remain united. And they often pretend to be of another tribe to spread the division better so don't trust names that sound like from your tribe when they are spreading division.

Forgive the Youths of today for the Sins of their Fathers and remember that you have the same enemy, the Nigerian government and most importantly be wise, shrew and thriftful. Don't let their tactics succeed but still ensure that you purge the actual bad elements from their personal behaviour because that is another tactic that they use, to fill peaceful movements with saboteurs.

Good one bro

Beware southerners. This is the time to know and understand the true identity of those who cause tribalism on here, they are paid agents, they are neither from east or west. They have more than twenty accounts, they would create tribal topics and make tribal comments with another accounts to cause chaos between southerners. Though, they have no conscience but you can try to educate them or better ignore them. They are easy to identify, use your head brothers.

Also Be aware that tactics and plans has been deployed to cover up the massacre since all their efforts to break southern unity were not fruitful. They have created a lot of Facebook and Twitter accounts with Yoruba or Igbo names for this purpose, one of them is to post pictures or video of people who debunked being killed, those pictures were scripted and earlier been circulated for this purpose. They would discredit real occurrence and give it another title. Beware of the propaganda
