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. 8 Likes Re: I Started The Saltwater Ebola Cure Rumor I Truely Am Sorry by salomycruz: 7:54am you started it or not I find it interesting and fun....salt and water campaign everywhere. 1 Like Re: I Started The Saltwater Ebola Cure Rumor I Truely Am Sorry by overdrive(m): 7:56am U only added more money to oga Dangote pockest. 10 Likes Re: I Started The Saltwater Ebola Cure Rumor I Truely Am Sorry by DRealGeesam1(f): 7:57am salomycruz: you started it or not I find it interesting and fun....salt and water campaign everywhere.
