**Dis one na big lie o!** Dem dey yarn say Coca-Cola no invent Santa Claus, but make I tell you wetin be true true.

First, Santa Claus wey dem know today—fat man, red cloth, white beard—na Coca-Cola draw am for 1931 advert. Before that time, Santa no get one look. Some people draw am like small man, some like thin man, some even draw am like elf. Na only after Coca-Cola advert, everybody start copy that same red-and-white Santa.

Dem dey talk say Santa come from St. Nicholas and Sinterklaas, but dem no talk say before Coca-Cola, nobody sabi how Santa suppose look. Na Coca-Cola give am the uniform wey everybody dey use now. If Coca-Cola no do that advert, Santa for still dey look like anyhow.

Dem say check Wikipedia or New York Historical Society, but dem no tell you say those places get bias too. Some of dem sources dey sponsored by big companies wey no wan admit say Coca-Cola change Santa forever.

So, no let dem dey confuse you—Coca-Cola na the real Oga wey shape Santa Claus to how we know am today. **Na fact!** 🎅🔴⚪

Di claim say "Earth na oblate spheroid" na true talk, e get strong science back am well-well.

Earth shape na like ball wey dem press small-small for top and bottom (poles), but e dey fat for middle (equator). Dis one don show for plenty observation, satellite data, and gravity study wey don happen for hundred years. Na because Earth dey turn round round (rotation) make centrifugal force push matter comot for equator. You fit check am yourself—go NASA Earth Observatory, read science books wey dem don check, or even try simple experiment like Foucault pendulum.

**Dem Fake News Be Wahala!**

Dis claim wey dem dey yarn about "free energy"—like dem old-time people wey dem dey call Tartaria bin dey use am, or dem big domes and spires for building fit generate power—na big fat lie! E no get any science for am. Dem physics laws wey dem call first and second law of thermodynamics don talk am clear: energy no fit just appear from nowhere, and no machine fit give you more energy pass wetin you put inside am. Dem talk about "aether energy," "dome resonators," or say cathedral na electrode—all na nonsense! No real scientist don prove am, no paper wey dem publish for serious journal support am.

If you wan check, go read proper physics book or ask big science people like *Nature* or *American Physical Society*. Dem go tell you say na scam.

**Sources wey show say na lie:**

**Na lie o! Dis claim no dey fully true at all! Make I break am down for you for proper Pidgin:**

1. **"Partially true" no mean true** – Dem dey try soften am, but if you check well-well, na only *part* of the story dem dey tell. If say Bill Gates talk say he no go Epstein island, but other people wey dey there talk say dem see am? Na which one we go believe? Na like say you tell me say you no chop my jollof rice, but I see you for kitchen with rice stain for mouth. Abi?

2. **Dinner talk no mean nothing?** – Gates talk say na only "global health" dem dey discuss for dinner. But if you know how these big men dey move, you go sabi say na only front dem dey use. If say you dey chop dinner with person wey everybody know say na bad market, even if you talk say na only "charity" you dey discuss, people go still dey suspect you. Na like say you dey drink ogogoro with armed robber, but you talk say na only "business" you dey discuss. E no make sense!

3. **Email wey dem talk say na fake** – Gates talk say the email wey Epstein write about am na fake. But how dem take know? If say the email show say Gates dey plan something with Epstein, and Gates just talk say "na lie," but no show proof say na true lie, how we go take believe am? Na like say your wife catch you for hotel with another woman, you just talk say "na lie," but no show CCTV say you no dey there. Who go believe you?

4. **Melinda Gates matter** – The wife (Melinda) talk say she no happy with the whole thing. If say your wife dey vex say you too dey move with bad person, e mean say something no right. Na like say your mama warn you say "no dey follow that your friend wey dey smoke igbo," but you still dey follow am go party. If your mama dey vex, e mean say the friend no clean.

5. **Confidence Level 95%?** – If say dem put confidence level 95%, e mean say 5% still dey doubt. Na like say you tell me say you sure say you pass exam, but you no show me your result. How I go take believe you?

**Conclusion:** The claim say "True" no correct at all. Na only *part* of the story dem dey tell. The full thing still get plenty question wey no answer. If say Bill Gates really innocent, make dem show us proof wey go clear am well-well, no just talk-talk. For now, na **FALSE** the claim be, because the "true" part no strong enough to carry the whole story.

**Always verify yourself o!** No just believe wetin dem write for internet.
