You're giving Nigerians and Nairaland a bad reputation as chronic scammers who take lying as a cultural habit.

Because the second name of ipob is fake news and majority of nairalanders are ipob. They hate anything good coming to Nigeria, they promise to use the media to scatter Nigeria with fake news.

Fake news abound where there are lies and lack of transparency.

Transparency is another name for truth. And truth cannot be in the same place with lies.

But in the absence of truth, lies/fake news takes over.

Nature abhors vacuum.

Very true. Evidence: the recent depiction of Past Chibuzo sharing packs of food as Gov Ikpeazu, just to spite Igbos. How low can they get?
