Nigerians on Saturday woke up to viral information being spread about the 5G technology and its connection to the novel coronavirus(COVID-19).

In fact, it generated controversies amongst social media users until the point when '5G' was listed amongst the top trending keywords on Twitter. Although similar speculations had sprung up a few days ago, a prominent fact-checking platform, AFP, found the claims to be unfounded.

"Numerous conspiracy theories shared on and off social media claim that 5G mobile networks are the cause of the novel coronavirus pandemic. This is false; experts told AFP that 5G is based on radio frequency and that this does not create viruses." AFP wrote.

However, the same claims gained more momentum and generated more furore when former Aviation minister, Fani Kayode and Senator Dino Melaye, tweeted about it. A lot of Nigerians are now calling for a boycott of the technology since the coronavirus and 5G conspiracy theory emerged.

POLITICS NIGERIA, in its support for accountability media, finds it expedient to fact check their claims.

CLAIMS: "If people knew what was unfolding & what satan & his Illuminati agents, his disciples like @elonmusk & @BillGates & the proponents of the New World Order have in mind & are doing with 5G, coronavirus &the coming Anti-coronavirus vaccines, every Christian & Muslim would join forces & PRAY!" Mr Fani-Kayode posted on Twitter.

The tweet which was posted around 00:01 am on Friday garnered over 800 retweets and 3,000 likes.

In subsequent posts on Saturday, he cautioned that Nigerians should protest against the introduction of 5G to Nigeria. In the same light, Mr Melaye, who claimed to have been doing research on the Conspiracy theory, advised that the Federal government should demobilise all 5G networks in Nigeria.

"Whether it is true or not that they are already laying cables of 5G in Nigeria or not. Govt must not allow it in Nigeria and should take a proactive step in that regard. 4G that is here in Nigeria sef na problem. 3G dey do everything I need I beg... We must watch out," He posted on Twitter.

Mr Melaye's tweet, as at 6:12 pm on Saturday, has 1312 retweets and 6706 likes.

VERIFICATION: As at the time of putting up this publication, the duo are yet to share the sources of their information.

What is 5G technology?

According to PC Mag, an international magazine, 5G stands for fifth-generation cellular wireless, and the initial standards for it were set at the end of 2017.

It is an upgrade from 4G LTE which uses 'massive' MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antennas that have very large numbers of antenna elements or connections to send and receive more data simultaneously. It is not transmitted via CABLES.

The benefit to users is that more people can simultaneously connect to the network and maintain high outputs.

While 3G networks had a typical response time of 100 milliseconds, 4G is around 30 milliseconds and 5G will be as low as 1 millisecond. That is how fast it can go, emfexplained.info, a website that provides information about electromagnetic fields, noted.

Health Concerns

The Public Health England says while it is possible that there may be a small increase in overall exposure to radio waves when 5G is added to an existing network or in a new area, “the overall exposure is expected to remain low relative to guidelines and, as such, there should be no consequences for public health.”

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/5g-technologies-radio-waves-and-health/5g-technologies-radio-waves-and-health

Also, the World Health Organisation, WHO, in 2005, raised concerns about the unprecedented increase in the number and diversity of electromagnetic field (EMF) sources.

https://www.who.int/peh-emf/publications/facts/fs296/en/

According to WHO, these sources include video display units (VDUs) associated with computers, mobile phones and their base stations.

"While these devices have made our life richer, safer and easier, they have been accompanied by concerns about possible health risks due to their EMF emissions."

The WHO added that exposure to EMF sources can cause Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS).EHS symptoms most commonly experienced include dermatological symptoms (redness, tingling, and burning sensations) as well as neurasthenic and vegetative symptoms (fatigue, tiredness, concentration difficulties, dizziness, nausea, heart palpitation, and digestive disturbances).

"The collection of symptoms is not part of any recognized Syndrome," the global health body noted.

On the other hand, Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans.
In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

The most recently discovered coronavirus is the deadly COVID-19, which is currently ravaging the world. https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses.

There are no links between radiation and viruses against the insinuations of the two politicians. A Popular Fact-checking organization based in the UK, Full Fact has explored these claims concluding that there is no known evidence or proof that 5G can cause or is accelerating the spread of COVID-19.

There is no scientific evidence that links the coronavirus pandemic to 5G, nor any immediate negative health effects to 5G.

5G network not yet in Nigeria - FG

The Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, on Saturday, has denied the deployment of 5G network. The minister said the decision was borne out of the government's efforts to protect the lives of Nigerians. He said the National Frequency Management Council (NFMC), is yet to deliberate on the deployment of the network and that no license has been issued for the deployment of 5G in the country.

"A 3-month study trial commenced on the 25th of November, 2019 in order to critically review and study the health and security implications of deploying 5G in Nigeria;"

"As part of the study trial process, I directed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to ensure that a team of experts, security agencies and other stakeholders fully participated in the trial process."

"The trial process has been concluded and the study and reporting process is currently ongoing, " the statement read in parts.

CONCLUSION: CLAIMS that CORONAVIRUS is caused by 5G NETWORK and that the technology has been fully deployed in Nigeria are FALSE.

The Conspiracy theorists in the house, who was responsible for this "Old World Order"?

wallex1983:
If this is true, then we are at least moving forward. But the question is that, is the testing not for only a class off citizens?

I’m beginning to see even my own pastor, and most of the pastors in Nigeria as common rogues, criminals and scammers who won’t even put financial gains at hold even when it could lead to the death of their followers. Jesus was a selfless man who had nothing yet gave the world his life. I seriously think it’s time I reconsider my faith. Something is wrong with most of pastors and we so called Christians. I seriously think we are just dummies following some Satans parading themselves as MOgs. And I think the Corona virus is Gods way of exposing these fraudsters. I’m done with church and will never kneel before any more pastor in my entire life. May God forgive me Incase I’m wrong

Actually, those who are not mocking them are merely pretending...

The average Nigerian is now an amused spectator in the macabre dance of shame among the nation's leading elite... Most Nigerians are truly enjoying this... This is revenge in its rarest form!!!

Reference:
I have nothing new to say about this pandemic. My position has been clear since January about the virus and about the pandemic.

But when you have the number one citizen, the pre-eminent personality of the country potentially contacting this disease when the known cases in the country have barely reached 50, that is 0.000025 percent of the population...

...you can only wonder at how reckless, careless, ignorant, unprepared, ill-informed and totally inept this goverment is that cannot even ensure or guarantee the bio-security of its head for a month of this virus entering the country.

It is just scandalous. What kind of message does this send. What kind of inspiration does this deliver to a traumatised citizenry. What the hell is happening to this Presidency... this so called goverment.that cannot even take care of itself.

This Covid -19 is a game changer.
It might even change the course of 2023.

Before now, having "access to the presidency" is a bragging right.
Nobody wants to admit such connections again. Garba Sheu and
Femi Adesina are both avoiding Aso rock for fear of Buhari's daughter.
While Mamman Daura has gone into hiding too.

Report reaching us has it that many who are hitherto calling Nigeria a zoo
are now begging to be allowed to fly back home to "zoogeria".

Even the "Japa" advisers have gone mute.
They are no longer interested in migrating to the paradises of Coronavirus.

The "saner climes" crusaders who put down their country at every slight opportunity have also been silenced.
Many are happy they didn't make their move before this pandemic outbreak.

Boko haram and killer herdsmen are now fearful for their lives. ISIS fighters are reportedly living in fear.
Imagine just one sneeze from a terrorist to Shekau's face and it is game over for him and his commanders.

Scaring SARS is as simple as wearing a facemask and sneezing when they stop you.

Shugavee:
There is absolutely nothing like a broke / lazy good man. You can never know the real him till he has some money. You can never know if he’s faithful, except he got money in his pocket!!

So ladies, don’t waste your time, if he doesn’t have a source of income, he is a waste. Always remember that your time and attention is an investment, don’t waste it on some dude who got just sex to offer. Don’t let people single shame you that you go for anything and don’t ever agree that you can only offer sex. They know you have a lot to offer.

YOU ARE A WOMAN!!

Lol. I can't see myself jaree

Lawgod247:
Well, in matters like this, I usually don't fail to say my mind without fear nor favor. Now, without mincing words and without any atom of partiality, I wish to contribute in a way that no one will feel that I am being too emotional about this topic. The truth is that I have completely forgotten what I wanted to say. Anyways, for CAC Company or Business Name registration, Foundation, Schools, Church, NGO, Trademark, TIN, SCUMI, NAFDAC number etc, talk to us at www. Lawlab. Com. ng. Thank you.

Orion01:
The fact that Buhari has not addressed the nation shows how incompetent he is. It is the minister of health we see all the time. The same attitude he showed towards the fulani herdsmen situation till It got worse. Other leaders of the world are reassuring their citizens and informing them about what they are doing. The dummy we have as president is playing silent game with us. The truth is, we dont have what it takes to manage this epidemic should it spiral out of control in Nigeria. Imagine washing your hands regularly and still caught the virus, somehow we are still going to touch something, forget to wash and then touch our face.
God help us

sexylassie2:
What is this one saying. Sex is the benchmark of many broke men, they rather be fucking, than working.

Go and marry a broke man
