Good of Nigerians on Tuesday morning reacted to the much talked about conspiracy theories of 5G network and Covid-19.
Some social influencers led by one of Nigerian finest researchers, Sani Michael Omakoji argued for and against the so-called conspiracy theories.
The argument for and against was made possible by Nigerian Television Authority ( NTA ) via her official twitter handle @NTAGMN on a popular program “Good Morning Nigerians”.
The program starred on twitter came up this way “ON GOOD MORNING NIGERIA 19 MAY 2020, WE SHALL BE LOOKING AT COVID-19 AND THE 5G SCARE. RECALL THAT THERE HAVE BEEN CONSPIRACY THEORIES OF A CONNECTION BETWEEN COVID-19 AND 5G. DO SEND IN YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS- NTA”
Twitter users took advantage and reacted these ways:
To set the ball rolling, Sani Michael Omakoji reacts thus: ” That the combination of #COVID19 & #5G bring about shortage of oxygen in the air is not true. From my independent investigation lately,5G cannot consume 0.5% of oxygen in the air while human being as well cannot make use of 2% oxygen in the air. Is Fight for #worldpowers”
“Over the years, #Americans have monopolized the air space,making billion of dollars hence, #China coming up with such innovation can never be a good omen to #Americans thus, we should expect criticism from #USA. Be that as it may, China too is not trustworthy…”

“Not doubting #China’s introduction of #5G completely, let me also say that #China as a Communist Nation cannot be trusted. Eg,Check out the substandard products in Nig & around the world today, there are mostly made in China. Therefore, 5G by China shld be investigated”.
” #China I know can rebrand #4G and call it #5G. I say this without apology that #China with all his antecedent at the global market, cannot trusted to have done the right thing on this 5G rather a fight against #worldpowers which I believed is poorly packaged”
To chris simeon, “In South Korea, over 5million subscribers are using 5G network and COVID-19 cases are less there. Electromagnetic ray or radiation from 4G or 5G can only affect the cells in human body and cause cancer. COVID-19 is not caused by 5G Network.
To DELE JACKSOLOMON MEJ ” In an attempt to protect themselves and others, people actually make things worse by rejecting the science and communication technology that is sorely needed in times like these. During this pandemic it is of utmost importance to stay cool-headed and distinguish between real versus illusory patterns using the principles of logic, reason, and science. Nothing more, nothing less!”
” Part of what drove the 5G coronavirus conspiracy to the mainstream was a lack of good information about how the virus spreads and how it works, questions that scientists are still working to answer. The theory about 5G and Covid-19 existed in relative online obscurity until it was amplified by people with influence!”

” If we think that 5G is causing coronavirus, then why should we wear a mask? Why should we social distance? No correlation! The federal gov’t, must take a stand against this particular conspiracy that 5G technology has nothing whatsoever to do with the spread of the coronavirus!”
Fears of 5G networks existed well before the virus outbreak. These fears included health concerns, but also that 5G would allow governmental institutions unprecedented control over the lives of citizens. Hilariously, COVID-19 has made both of these fears a reality!”
To another social media Influencer, Cecilia Okoroma, she says: “Development and innovation are not premised on speculations that is why we research. Researchers must dig dip to find what brought about man most monsterous pandermic COVID-19. Presently, 4G Technology is in use and didn’t try to destroy the world, how come 5G Technology?”
” In life, we all know that change is constant therefore, the country that developed 1G Technology will continue to research, develop and move from 1, 2, 3, 4 and to 5G where the world is heading to that is causing so muchscare.The talk is that a Lab in China developed Covid-19″
“If the other developed countries are operating on 5G Technology, how will those still on 3G and or 4G want to catch up with them technologically? Even as humans, if you have somebody you are not reasoning along with, it’s a problem so, that’s what is applicable in technology too.
To Onyebuchi McTony Ezenwa, he says, “Countries like Iran has 122,492 confirmed cases of COVID-19 without 5G. Though higher frequency radiation of this spectrum does pose dangers. “COVID-19 and 5G are two parallel lines, which will never meet”.
To Ali Mohammed Garga, he says, “Connecting 5G with the onset of covid 19 is one of the most ridiculous conspiracies of the 21st century, more appalling is the level ignorance exhibited globally by seeing it as a possibility. If conspirators had connected 5G with breach of privacy it ll have made more sense”.
To Oladimeji Morufu, “Secret behind both the two will soon come out”.
Nandom G. Wuyep says, “This issue is spreading as far as the virus itself.Perhaps,we are only looking at it from one particular angle? However the case,may God help Nigeria and deliver Nigerians.
To Law Alpha C, “The school of thought I reasoned along with has it that 5G network has an intimidating radiation on humankind by depleting more of the ozone layer, giving rise to many strange incidences of health hazard for which Covid 19 is chief”.
Mike Anyakwo says “It’s Superfluous & an Act of Infamy for some people to connect 5G and Covid 19. I may not be an expert in that regards , but common sense tells us that there is really conspiracy theory formulated by agents of destructions & megnomaniac pimps whose aim is retardation of progress”.
Innocent yawal james says, “Is Electromagnetic wave ionized n wat is d spectrum used ? If yes den it calls 4 concern, dia ar so many ways of testing if dia is adverse effect frm d wave, 5G tech. may also hav it’s demerit which research alone can figure d angle in relation to covid-19. Let’s nt rule it out”
ỌMỌ́GBỌ́LÁHÀN BABS says, “1G came, no noise. 2G was here, no noise. 3G debuted, none hoopla, ditto 4G. So, why should 5G cause brouhaha? Those speaking against 5G were speaking from the angle of IGNORANCE. It’s as simple as that”
“Many countries world o’er, d likes of Finland, Canada &a couple others have had 5G installed in their countries several months back with no reported case (s) of evil effect. So, why d sudden campaign against it? Funny enough,e’en religious leaders fell for such erroneous innuendo”
Recall that there have been news and counters news how Covid-19 is a brainchild of 5G.
