To me, I didn't do such... As a scientist, I know that salt cannot even kill a virus. So, why will I adhere to such rumor... All you just did is that you added more money to salt sellers and producers.

Lol, now you want help from the gay professors and gay students in the USA!!! You want their vaccines, like it's your fundamental human right! Like the richest man in your continent has ever contributed a dime towards research on terminal black diseases like Aids, Polio, Malaria and now Ebola..!

. The cure is God. Its only God can cure. Even the experimental vaccine the U.S produced, they only said their two citizens that contacted it are responding to treatment and not cured yet... So, its only God that will cure it.

DRealGeesam1: My confession and apology

Dear nairalanders and everyone who have heard of the ebola Prevention "News", My name is Adesewa, I am coming out clean because what started has a joke has escalated into the unprecedented.
How it started
Yesterday i was with friend in her hostel, we were talking about this Ebola out break, when one of my friends, Funke (she introduced me to nairaland) brought the idea of Us playing a prank on our friends. The first suggestion was to tell people that aloe very could cure Ebola, but we thought it would sound too ridiculous so we forgot about it.

Later that even an idea came to me (i now regret that i did it).
I decided to send a BBM broadcast message to my friends, telling them that the Ministry of Health has asked everyone to bathe with salt and warm water and drink some of it.
I sent the message 7:08pm yesterday

Later this midnight i started getting calls and messages that i should drink salt water and bath with it.

All efforts to tell people that i was the one who started the joke failed. Only my friends who i mentioned earlier believed me. Even my mum could me this morning, i did not know what to tell her.

I am using this medium to beg you all to warn and tell everyone, before they drink salt and damage their health.

Please dont be hash on me. I know this has gone out of hand. I never knew it will be this serious. Some have even added to the original message i sent.

If it is indeed true, trust me, you deserve jail time. You have no idea what possible harm drinking salt water can do especially in a country where people are walking blood pressure timebombs. Also, spreading rumours, false information is actually a crime and if this was a serious country, they could track you down and you could quickly become a convict just like that.

Better send another broadcast reversing the earlier one and apologizing for this expensive prank

I was just kidding with my friends, i did not even say they should rebroadcast it! It was later that i saw the message that said people Should rebroadcast. Who asked them to edit the message i sent!

Please let us be matured.

You are an idiota. You claim you started a dangerous rumour and still came out to talk trash. Do you expect anyone to commend you? You are a real foolish attention seeker. Something is wrong with you. You arenot apologising. You are simply seeking more attention

A scenario of what could happen to you
...Imagine that the Nigerian system is a smart one and want to teach you a lesson

the security agencies will do a search through all network databases to check for the first source of the rumour
this is quite easy. Its like searching for keywords using google.
When they've identified your number, they'll then use that in getting your name
They'll then search through bank records and telphone details to identify your location
They'll contact your university and so identify your department
they'll get an informant in your department to squeal on your school and house address

They'll invite the news media when they arrest you
More sales for the media when you are front page
you being handcuffed will be on TV and newspapers as the source of the rumour

You'll spend some days in the cell with loads of mosquitoes
You will then be charged to court
your defense lawyer will argue that you were remosrseful hence you alerted the public through NL
you may thereafter be discharged and acquited if there are no laws to handle your case

...However, all this would have served as a deterent to others who take jokes too far
so all these would happen because your brain failed to tell u how silly the idea of bathing and drinking salt water to cure Ebola was. But of course it's none of my business.

Mister, playing pranks on your friends is nothing compared to this. This is taking jokes too far. How do you joke with a deadly virus that snuffs life out of people within a month ? A joke that misleads millions of people, gives them a false hope thus making them drop their guards against caution, is silly. Two capital cities have been totally quarantined, flights banned, victims' corpses abandoned on the streets and about 56 medical personnel who treated patients are themselves dead. THAT IS A GRAVE MATTER THAT NO SANE PERSON will and should joke with. Am rather surprised to see you issue threats to people for telling you the truth. Are you aware, with all your bravado, that you have inadvertently disclosed your contact address ? Are you aware that the government have threatened to arrest anyone who claims to have a cure for Ebola ? Your joke is capable of making our society a laughing stock in the eyes of the international community. This is an indication of how depraved, inhuman and callous our society has become by joking with what has brought tears and sorrow into thousands of families and still counting. In a sane society you would already be cooling your heels behind bars. You need to bury your head in shame.
