Did Netflix Pay Kamala Harris $7 Million? Can Guava Leaves Cure Ulcers? Was EFCC’s X Account Hacked by Fraudsters?
It all started with a social media post that sparked confusion and speculation. The claim was bold: Netflix had reportedly donated a whopping $7 million to Kamala Harris’ campaign.
But was it true?
The buzz grew louder as the story spread, leaving many wondering how deep Netflix’s political involvement ran. Could a company that entertains millions really throw such enormous financial support behind a candidate?
The truth, however, turned out to be much more personal—and surprising.
After diving deep into the investigation, we uncovered a twist. It wasn’t Netflix itself that made the donation. The answer came from Reed Hastings, Netflix’s co-founder and executive chairman. He confessed during an interview with The Information: after watching a particularly disheartening debate, he felt compelled to act. “After the depressing debate,” Hastings admitted, “we are in the game again.” And with that, he made his largest personal contribution ever—$7 million.
But here’s the catch: this was not Netflix’s doing! It was Hastings’ personal endorsement. Reputable media outlets quickly clarified the distinction: Netflix, the company, had no hand in the donation. It was purely Hastings’ decision.
The conclusion?
The viral claim that Netflix itself funneled $7 million into Kamala Harris’ campaign is completely false. Instead, it was Reed Hastings, acting on his own, who made the generous contribution to her 2024 run.
The lines between corporate and personal blurred for a moment, but the facts set the story straight.

It began innocently enough—a few Facebook posts suggesting a natural remedy that caught the attention of many. The posts claimed that guava leaves, boiled and brewed into a tea, could cure stomach ulcers. The allure of an easy, natural solution was hard to ignore.
One post went further, explaining the science behind it: “Guava leaf contains Methanol extract with volatile oil, flavonoid, and saponin, all of which fight stomach ulcers and promote healing.” The recipe was simple: take 7 to 10 fresh leaves, simmer them gently, and drink the mixture. Pregnant women were even encouraged to take small doses, despite some research warning against it.
But here’s the twist—before reaching for those guava leaves, we need to ask: How accurate is this claim?
Several trusted sources, including Africa Check and WebMD, decided to investigate. They found a different story. Despite the traditional use of guava leaves for ailments like stomach disorders, pain, and diabetes, the hard truth is there’s no solid scientific evidence backing guava leaves as a cure for ulcers.
Yes, there are studies that hint at the potential benefits of guava plants—but only in rats, not humans. The leap from animal tests to human treatments is a big one, and without more research, the evidence just isn’t there.
So, what’s the conclusion?
The claim that guava leaves cure ulcers is, for now, unproven. Science requires more than stories and hopes—it demands solid evidence. Until that’s found, this remains just another hopeful remedy waiting for proof.
