With the recent speculations and Black Berry
Messenger broadcast that the recent Ebola virus outbreak could be
prevented through the use of salt mixture in water, the master minder
has come out to tender her apology.
It went viral recently via bbm broadcast that
the Ministry of Health has asked everyone to bathe with salt and warm
water and drink some of it so as to help avert the virus.
To some Nigerians, it was funny why for some;
it was a serious issue which needed to be given a trial. The moral
lesson on this is that you shouldn’t believe every thing u see on BB
Broadcast
Here is the apology letter below;
My confession and apology
My name is Adesewa, I am coming out clean because what started has a joke has escalated into the unprecedented.
How it started
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 don’t 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.
