There is this rumour all over the social media as well as broadcasts on
Blackberry Messenger about the dresscode for the on-going RCCG convention. You might have seen it too. The message
reads:
It was just pass
across that we should not put on red dress tomorrow or anything that contain
red, either shoe, shirt, trousers, pant, skirt, glasses, head warmer, boxers,
cap, e.t.c. They will not use our blood to redeem Nigeria. It is truth ooo!
Please, re-broadcast this to save others
Even from the poor construction and grammatical errors in the text, you
could tell it’s not from a reliable source or has been corrupted in
transmission. The message was credited to Pastor E. A. Adeboye of the
Redeem Christian Church of God but Pastor Adeboye has come out on social
media to debunk the rumour linked to him.
Nigerians should stop causing panic with these kind of messages. Little
wonder Senate President David Mark called for regulation of social media
in Nigeria
