Nairaland / General / News Vs Hoax: Is DEW Water Safe For Drinking? (solved) by nkemChetam: 6:32pm On Sep 16, 2015
It's officially the end of NEWS flow as we know it, the lack of gatekeepers to check the use of the internet has created a phenomenon where anyone can make a defamatory (libel per se) post and walk free.. The two News Articles below proves my theorem..


First Article is Dated: SEPTEMBER 14, 2015:


Pls pass this to any Nigerian friends on your contact list -Just got dis Please, don't buy or drink any bottled water called "DEW". Customs says it was shipped into Nigeria from TANZANIA where it has killed 180 people. It is said to contain a poisonous chemical. Please pass this on and save millions of lives. If u don't believe check google for "DEW bottled water". Save life's as I just saved yours... coz your life means a lot 2me!!!

(Not exactly a News article I know)
.......................

Disturbed, I took d article's advice and ran a search on the subject matter, I quickly realized the Dew ish has been around for a while, and had even been linked to Ebola undecided ; then I stumbled on another article from a SouthAfrican website that completely contradicts the former and guess what?...

The Second article is dated: JANUARY 26, 2015:


Is DEW bottled water safe to drink?

THE message warning consumers not to buy or drink a brand of bottled water called DEW have been circulating for months. It’s now time to put those rumors to rest.

According to the ‘warning’, DEW contains a poisonous chemical that has already killed 180 people in NIGERIA shocked . A new version also claims that the water has been contaminated with Ebola.

The myth and urban legend busting internet site, Hoax- Slayer reports that the claims in the warning message are are false.

Nigerian authorities too have refuted the claims. There are no credible reports about deaths caused by a brand of bottled water called DEW in Nigeria or elsewhere.

And the claim that people have died from bottled water contaminated with Ebola is utter nonsense. The warning contains false information and should not be forwarded.

Source:
Article 1: Facebook
Article 2: www.southcoastherald.co.za/73081/dew-bottled-water-safe-drink/

Well, there you go, first (January) it was Nigeria with 180 deaths (totally missed that one), fast-forward 8 months and Tanzania is labeled the next victim with d same figures! #180.
We (the public) are so gullible (no pun intended) that this murafukers don't even make an effort or try to be smart about this ish, or ''DEW bottled water poison" dey count

Thanks for taking out time to peruse through.

NB: I don't work for DEW, never even heard of them before now.

Nairaland / General / Damaging Chat Habits Particular To Youths Of Today. by nkemChetam: 6:09pm On Apr 10, 2015
DAMAGING CHAT HABITS PARTICULAR TO YOUTHS OF TODAY.

Gets up 7 a.m in the morning, sleepwalks into the kitchen, grabs something to bite on... His phone's battery is down; picks up his charger and leaves home in search of power to charge his phone. He visits all the salons, even while charging, he's on the phone, Chatting! Chatting! Chatting!!

The phone eventually power up to 30% after 2hrs of ineffective charge due to usage, he hangs the charger around his neck and with great joy, heads back home.

Without removing his shoes or sandals he cruises into the
living room, doing what? Chatting... Before long, the battery gets drained, he leaves home yet again to another barbing salon...

Nightfall; not really satisfied, he returns home say... around 9 p.m, and by 2 am, the charged battery is completely depleted...

*this circle continues daily and meanwhile this dude/sis is supposed to be a potential doctor....... Indeed many youths are captives of technology, all they do is charge -- discharge, Charge -- discharge, charge --discharge, moving about with charger! (Thank God for PowerBanks)

Some young people actually believe without their phones they'll die, some get suicidal tendencies when they have a low battery, SOME CAN GO TO BURIAL JUST TO CHARGE UP!!

You want to be a doctor (doesn't matter if you're a ''Jambite'') can't you start reading medical related books?... It's either one of these or even all:

1: You're chatting with your friend from a saloon where you're charging your device.

Spoiler: he's replying you from his office in KPMG.

2: Or you're chatting with your equally jobless friend discussing and arguing over Ronaldo's red card or GEJ's loss at the polls.

Spoiler: GEJ has accepted defeat, Ronaldo will be back... both men doesn't even know you exist!

3: You're chatting with your supposed girlfriend.

Spoiler: She's replying you from another dudes bed..(Nigerian ladies are the most unfaithful in the world according to research)

4: Most celebrities/people claim they don't chat; rather they reply messages, so that's the norm now..

Spoiler: nothing oh... I just dey laugh u.

5: You're chatting with a total stranger?

Spoiler: Wetin u wan hear? Keep wasting your time.

6: (I know you have more; you're the one with the chat doctorate)

Brov/Sis, this your condition no be your village peeps oh... Leave prayer, You're your own looming nightmare...

Ågbaya, Understand that what you spend your time doing is what you become. Nobody gets food on his/her table because he's a great chatter...

Forget the phone, think-ignite your future... At 18/22 you think you're still a kid?? I bet that 60 year old man/lady who hawks pure water on your street used to think the same...


Speak ya mind!!!...
