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.
Here is the apology letter below;
My confession and apology
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.
Later this midnight i started getting calls and messages that i should drink salt water and bath with it.
I am using this medium to beg you all to warn and tell everyone, before they drink salt and damage their health.
If it were yo be in the western world you will be arrested charge for murder and attempted murder.
ReplyDeletei live in the western world and i can assure you messages lije that would have been seen as a joke. she wont get arrested. it is a sick joke but nothing more

ReplyDeleteHahaha that's a big joke, u can win award for that, anyway that's a day off thinking of this deadly disease. Laughing all the way.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think it's rather late for an apology cos 2 people are dead already and 20 more hospitalised. Such life threatening cases should never be joked with. Hope you have learnt some lessons though?
ReplyDeleteMy dear you too much. If I see way to show appreciation I will do so, make the people way want foolish make them foolish the go. unless they learn, there will never know. have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteWe shld mind the kind of thing we post n joke about. I just pray for the speedy recovery of those hospitalized cos of this hell of a joke.

You tried my dear I even see fashola using salt to bath hahhahahahahahahh no try am bcos Namdi sambo use am drink juice
ReplyDeleteInfact all of una bush well well,even if it was a joke that eventually spread around the world it was never a bad joke that will kill people if they actually bath with salt water as a preventive method.if you guys actually went to school you will know that salt is a natural disinfectant against bacteria and would be cheaper for those that cannot afford dettol or septol,and had being used way back to kill bacteria and flying insects for hygienic purposes.
ReplyDeletewell,i just pray for a quick recovery....for those in hospitals and may the soul of the deceased rest in perfect peace cos of ignorance...
ReplyDeleteits enough stop criticizing her
ReplyDeleteMay God accept their gentle souls...as for me and my family,the sickness of the egyptians are not for us
ReplyDeleteThe sickness of the egyptians is not for us......
ReplyDeleteProverbs 26:18, 19 says "Like a madman who shoots fiery missiles, arrows and death is the man who plays a trick on his neighbour and says, "I was only joking"". Beware of such lethal and expensive joke!
ReplyDeleteIt was devil that had u as mass destruction instrument.
ReplyDeleteU shld have put something that will show it was a joke at the end of ur text
ReplyDeletedey need 2 charge u 4 killin ppl dis joke ix 2 expensive u need 2 b taken 2 jail
ReplyDeleteShe's not at fault at all. Blame the gaullible educated illiterate who don't have a brain to think
ReplyDeletei know say you use salt bath that day
Deletei dont blame u all for insulting this young later im sure majority of u out of fear bath and drank salt. ur problem is ignorance. U act on peoples opinion. Learn now
ReplyDeleteVery sad people died for such a silly joke by a silly girl. You should have thought through it first before sending out such a stupid joke and I really blame those ignorant people even so called university graduates who fell for such nonsense. This is ignorance on rampage.
ReplyDeleteNa wa oo..
ReplyDeleteNot to sound overly educated, but u have to drink or bathe is so much salt for it to cause harm. Now i wonder how much salt was sold or purchased that caused this massive harm. Reading some posts, I do agree that salt can be used as a disinfectant against bacteria but Ebola is a Virus. Virus are not live organisms. Second, living in yankee, i can ccertainly say that this is an expensive joke that would yield no legal repercussions other than a record. I think this was a funny joke and I do think many people are ignorant nowadays. Everyone wants short-cut info. No one wants to read the news. Even CNN now makes news about Justin Bieber. Quite sad that there were fatalities but I can`t imagine how large such fatalities are considering salt is not as deadly a substance like alcohol.
ReplyDeleteThat's always be our problem! Insensitivity,how will this idiot feel if any of her family member got the virus,will she joked about it? Ebola is a serious case and its not night if a thousands laughter,not a script for this Dundee nollywood(trying to make money out of the situation),it's need EVERYONE attention and prayer.
ReplyDeleteAnd to you(useless comedian) that started this salt and water, all the lost soul are on your head!!
She can't be charged for any offense. Only fools act on informations without proper findings. Some peeps ain't just wise. #A_million_pound_prank.
