Voting for Buhari by Nigerians for a second term was a huge mistake.

@ will not understand.

Na wah ohh

Nice

Ok

Nigeria

Hello nairalanders

I was surprised to receive a message requesting me to register my number again in the whatapp messenger app to chat.

I tried registering and I got a message saying I have been banned from using what's app. I tried RE registering all to no avail. Does anyone have similar experience?

Same happened to me few months ago and when i complained to their customer service, they told me that dey recived complains about my number. I was shocked to the core because that was my main number for my business. Tried to register agin for months and dey kept on telling me dsame thing.

Recently it just came to my mind to try GB WHATSAPP, and it worked. I've not tried to go back to normal whatsapp sha.

So I'd advice u try that too

So wrong of them

God Help Us

Of course

Again?

Smart man

Romanoff:
I just weep for the level of ignorance in this country.

Yearly we dish out graduates in thousands, millions I'll dare to say and this is what we are arguing on social media?

That 5G causes Covid 19?

So advanced countries in the world that has been using it, that's why they have Covid 19?

The 4G we have currently, person no even fit do proper WhatsApp video calls without distortions.

When countries of the world are using WebEx for meetings and newsroom reporting, our 4G can't even let us use it conveniently, we are hawking rumours of 5G causing Corona Virus.

God go help us o.

I'm a final year computer science student and you would weep when u see the number of persons supporting this 5G cobspiracy theory.

I just tire...

Ok

mrphysics:
I went through this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/5774444/fact-check-coronavirus-caused-5g-technology by aminulive and while I appreciate what he has done, I think enough needs to be done to drive that point clearer to the Nigerian audience. However, my fear is that when scientist and health practitioners say something, most people, especially Nigerians will accept the ones coming from religious leaders.

I will try my best to explain in details what you should know about radiations.

Classifications of Radiations
They are two basic classification of radiations, they include:
1 Particle radiation: This contains charged and neutral particles
2. Electromagnetic radiation: (Photon flow. 5G belongs to this group.)

We can classify radiations according to their biological effects on matter, here, we have two types of radiations: Ionizing and non ionizing radiations.

You must have heard these two in recent times, so what is ionizing and non ionizing radiations?
a. Ionizing radiations: This means radiation have enough energy to eject one electron from the atom of the crossed material.
b. Non ionizing radiation: Particle energy is not enough to eject one electron from the atom, therefore it is said to have lower ionizing potential.

Great, let's advance further. The next question is, at what energy is a particle considered as ionizing? I won't waste much time here, so let's concentrate on 5G and their corresponding energy.

I am a graduate student of Nuclear Engineering. And in one of our course called Interaction of Radiation with Matter, we discussed everything about ionizing and non ionizing radiation.
Therefore, for tissues/matter consisting of Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen (Which the human body fall under), radiations are considered as ionizing radiation if their energy is greater >> 12.4 eV (electron volt). The wavelength of such photon is 0.1um (micro meter). .

Using the relationship between energy and frequency, E = hf, I made a quick calculation and realized that the wavelength of such radiation must be 100nm (0.1um) and the frequency (Hz) is to the order of 3 x 10^15 hertz. We do know that the frequency of a 5G network (5 Giga hertz - 95 Giga hertz) and discovered that it's frequency is of the order of 10^9 hertz. which is million times lower than what is considered as ionizing. It therefore means that photons from a 5G network can never ionize the human body.

We know all these because to excite the electron from the ground state of a hydrogen atom to the first excitation state, you must have an energy of 13.6 eV. If you check the energy of a 5G wave, you will see it is approximately 0.00002 eV which is a million times lower than the fundamental energy of ionizing radiation.

Some persons have also linked it to cause cancer and the rest, this is not true. Of course there are two effects of radiations which is stochastic and deterministic effect. Deterministic effect occurs instantly and severity increases with radiation dose where as stochastic effect does not occur instantly but will take time to manifest.

Let me point out that, those who survived the Hiroshima and Nagazaki bomb blast and were followed in a study called Cohort Study, out of over 100k followed person, only about 2% died of cancer related cases which manifested about 50 years after the incident. Remember these people took many grays of highly ionizing radiations.

Whenever you take flight from a particular place to another, you have absorbed more ionizing radiations that someone living 20km from a nuclear power plant. When you take 1-9 cigarettes a day, you take same risk as someone who took a dose of 3.4Sv from a bomb blast.

To end it, 5G network is not an ionizing radiation, and poses no harm to the body, well not anyone that has been experience now. It will take many years for one to experience any such effect (Which to me is not possible). Some of us have done X-rays, if only you knew you stood against an ionizing radiation, and yet still healthy, you won't be talking about 5G network.

The words of MrPhysics

Wonderful.
Me I'm already tired of trying to debate with people to make them understand that 5G has nothing to do with the novel COVID-19 but Nigerians will not listen.

Tough times tough measures

One chance ohh

Space booking first

SharpJoe:
Lockdown means nothing without testing, isolating and treating infected ones.
We need mass testing for Covid-19 virus in Nigeria. Not Lockdown alone.

Seconded

What

Na wah ohh

RIP

Ok

Nonsense leaders

You say weiting?

See your life

Kayceenaz:
The way forward now is for the National Assembly to impeach him forthwith. That's proactive. 2023 is too far.

Thank You for your sincerity

Responsible government

Kayceenaz:
Fairness doesn't discriminate. It is not too late to start doing what is right.

I like you calmness about this issue.
But looking at President Buhari, what good do you think would come out from him at this point?

Is there still hope for the common Nigerian under Buhari?

Please be sincere

Garrieveryday:
Please help a devastated brother and drop any amount in the account below. God bless.

3.3.5.1.0.9.7.2.74 - Ecobank

I can't help You like this.
You can't even type your account number well, whats with all the full-stops, dont You know nobody likes stress?

I would want to copy and paste the number but you guys make it so hard for someone to help.
Abi you want me to cram your account number?

Seriously

Nice


Individuals doing much more than the government put together apart from Sonwo olu
