The Truth About NCDC Spending 1 Billion Naira On SMS To Nigerians

It appears that fake news peddlers will stop at nothing to undermine the fight against the coronavirus from the fake 5G conspiracy theory spread by educated illiterates to baseless assertion that Africans cannot the killed by the virus due to melanin and the hot temperature on the African continent.

Why it is true that politicians across board are sharing billions to imaginary citizens and ghosts the aim of these fake news peddlers is to divert the anger of Nigerians to the Nigerian center for disease control which has till this moment done a fantastic job in collaboration with health workers across Nigeria to keep the Country safe.

The News that NCDC has spent one Billion in sending text messages to Nigerians is FAKE! The center via its verified twitter handle has stated as follows "The headline claiming that NCDC has spent N1 billion on SMS to Nigerians is FALSE

While communication through SMS is a key part of our #COVID19 response strategy, this has been largely provided as in-kind support by @AirtelNigeria @MTNNG @GloWorld

#TakeResponsibility"

During this pandemic let's do all to support NCDC and healthcare workers who are risking their lives and the well-being of the families to rid the nation of Covid 19.

Avoid spreading fake and unverified news on the pandemic, stay safe, keep washing your hands , maintain a safe social distance & hygiene. In the end we will overcome!

May God Help Us to Help Ourselves

With the way the politicians are looting the covid funds its easy to believe fake news about them. Fake news aside it's difficult not to believe that any government agency will not loot at the slightest opportunity.

GamalNasser:
So how much has been spent on sms? I receive an average body 2 smses a day from the NCDC and that's not cheap

Another illiterate. NCDC said the networks do it for free as part of support to fight COVID-19.

We are ready for social media bill regularisation, we want fake news peddlers to be hanged by their balls.

There will begin to exist trust issues among upcoming generations. And people will begin to live by lies and lies will be norm, which there will be a total disunity among them..

Ok. It's good to know that it is largely provided in-kind support by the aforementioned network providers.
So, let's leave it like that & nothing changes.

Transparency is indeed a problem of Nigerians.
Lack of honesty.
We need a new culture. A culture that frowns at illegal things. A culture that celebrates hardwork and persistence.
We - Nigerians - do not have an identity. Cos if we did, we'll not keep electing recycled leaders. If the tenet that binds our nation is one of truth, transparency, commitment, we'll standup to any government official and relevant parastatal.

The policeman is actually strong too but guilt won't let him fight back.

This is just a tip of the ice very, expect more of such nonsense to come up because this lockdown has thrown lots of people into idleness.

Remember, an idle mind is always the devil's workshop.
