Real Truth About 08030004900 No. Killing People - Techredirector by daamazing(op): 9:27pm On Mar 25, 2017
We at techredirector.com have debunked this issue.
For the past few days messages like this have been Trending on WhatsApp for wrong reasons..
Gud evening ,i hope u guys ave heard dat d police saved anoda woman tryn to jump into d lagoon today..pls my sisters dis is d number calling dem..08030004900...i didnt really blive until a friend tld me d number called her nd started sayn sum enchantment and d nxt thing she heard waz tld to 08030004900 kill her self wit any possible means she has...d same number called her friends broda in skul nd if nt for her friend's broda roommated dat stop him..he wud ave stabbed himself wit d knife in his hands..so pls sisters lets pass dis information..nd lets also b prayerful..d was d same number dat called dat doctor dat jumped into d lagoon too...#TAKEHEED
Pls don't pick calls from d number
Two of my course mates were saved cos dey missed d call
However, there is no truth behind this,

Truth
It is an MTN NG no. For promotional messages, that's the reason why it can't be called.

The short code is 4900, instead of calling with 4900 which many users won't pick up, the 08030004900 was introduced.

I myself have picked the call recently, you hear a promotional message and it's not in any way related to the lagoon - suicide.



pls spread the news
Lalasticlala can forward to FP

The sad thing is, even the supposedly educated ones are among those forwarding such messages. It is always good to verify info before passing it around.

Thanks for this.
I still marvel at ability of Nigerians to spiritualize everything & tie it to some rituals.
No wonder we are this backward.
Scientific reasoning & analysis is lacking.
How can a call lead to people jumping into water? How can?

Sometimes I just wonder why someone would sit down and formulate lies. And why some people would believe such lies.

Foolish youths with dead brains.

They will still blame the Govt for unemployment.

Who will employ people with this kind of stupeed mindset.

So an eediot will come for interview and believe a number can call u and u will go and commit suicide ?

Damn it.

Thanks for sharing this.

Even though it should be obvious that people don't usually die from answering phone calls, it still needs to be emphasized
