The reason for Nigerians’ fear over the troubling 5G network connectivity is becoming clearer, after a laying of strange pipes was allegedly discovered in a part of Lagos Mainland.
Even when the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, had denied ever granting any license for 5G network installations, Nigerians have discovered that, while the Coronavirus stay-at-home order is in progress, two Nigerian based communication giants (names withheld) have allegedly started laying the 5G network pipes which have been sending jitters across the world.
A YouTube link, https://youtu.be/ZKYZkASd–o, on Saturday, released the footage of what was suspected to be 5G pipes being laid in Mende, Maryland area of Lagos State by engineers said to be from these firms.
A report on 5G in Africa by GSMA, a global trade organization for mobile operators, had estimated recently that only seven African countries, including South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya, will have 5G by 2025.
Meanwhile, the mounting fear across the globe over 5G network, was stemmed from an unconfirmed information that, its radiation will hamper human lives and privacy which will give total control to world powers.
Information has been making the rounds how citizens in other countries of the world, especially the UK and even China have been pulling down gigantic 5G masts mounted in their cities.
While Nigerians are wondering why the laying of the 5G pipes by the telecoms giants at this time when Nigerians are on forced holiday due to Coronavirus spread, this reporter gathered from public sources that a campaign would soon be launched to call the Nigerian government’s attention to address the situation before it starts attracting undue attention.
