We are still dealing with the aftermath of the election and trying to understand how misinformation spreads in Nigeria and effective ways to combat it. In the meantime, we urge Nigerians to always check before sharing and report suspicious messages to us! Check out how to contact us on our website!!
Although, there is no available public data to give the aggregate of the medals won by Nigeria in the last 3 years, “700 medals” is likely to be a very big overstatement. Nigeria did not win enough medals in any of the competitions it participated in to amass such a huge number of medals!
This is a false claim! Although we cannot ascertain the intent of the poster, we assume that this is misinformation (mistakenly sharing wrong information) and we say “put your slippers on! Not because of this bug but because it is hygienic!!”
This is a good time to emphasize that not everything published on a website is true, and not every blog or news site is credible.
