But wait o....lol...but if I don't post good pics of events and all then what is instagram for....abeg we are all guilty...human beings always want to be noticed....most of you complaining are jealous....dats the truth.... Because a typical human being love s to share his good happenings... That's y dy give testimony in church...hu lights a lamp and hides it under a bed...if something good or bad happens and you wanna share pls feel free!

But you know you gotta tell the whole story of your career there, and anybody can view it with the deceit of employing you

I wonder if people get any jobs there, anyway, not mmy choice sha

Brightgem:
Linked in ke. That's jst a profession related site na. Well ur choice.

Brightgem:
Though I no be Christian, but all u said hit the bull's eye. A person whose heart is attached to God is conscientious, anyone can betray another true, sad part is when u happen to have loved with all your being and you get handed ur heart back it breaks u even if jst in some subtle ways.

You are right. We live in an imperfect corrupt world so anything can happen. The key to navigate these tricky waters is to prepare your mind and accept reality. It will help you to deal with any eventuality. Do your best and enjoy it, if it fails, you will have the satisfaction of having been true to yourself and God. That way you will find the inner strength to match ahead.

Ajusshi:
Making generalisation is bad yet you quoted me and said social media relationship don't last.. Hehehe! You see your life na?.

such stupidity...no wonder you support social media relationship

murphyibiam15:

You are very mature....upon that safarigirl provocation yet u didn't insult her....Honestly I like your type....u are Bae
If I had your number i would have just recharged for u even if u are a billoniare

you need not mention me bro....

Benita27:
I must be very jobless to go reading up to 10 documented lives on nairaland.

I get your point madam and hope you got mine?.

on fake lives?

Social media is a haven of lies anyway, from NL to Twitter, IG and FB....

Singling out girls though, I don't get. That was my first issue...point noted sha

Catalin:
Its not good to expose yourself on social media. Its not good for security reasons, it is also an avenue to breed jealousy and envy.

About number 8, It aren't sensible for people to post anything about their family problems and issues on social media. Its so immature and stupid.

Not that am against Nairaland diaries but its very risky talking about your whole life on a forum that almost the whole world read.
Live a life free from social media and be safe.

I agree with you. Many are fond of this and it often affects them one way or the other. There's nothing bad in doing this but we shouldn't forget the fact that we're in a different part of the world. A lady gave birth twice and each time, she would post the picture of her baby on social media....the baby wouldn't live up to a year before passing on. The second time, same happened. I've heard a cousin's wife say she lost pregnancy a few days after she shared the good news with her family and people around her. It's a weird world here. I've been all around the globe but you will never see me show off the pictures of my kids, family or property....i will never do that here. Many marriages have crashed today and they couldn't detect the root cause. Many still don't believe that there diabolical means of attacking people in our clime. Pre wedding this, pre wedding that, bay bump this and that...I hope people would just be wise. In 2004, my cousin was issued a US visa and out of excitement, he was flashing it to every Tom, Dick and Harry. On getting to the POE at JFK, the CBP and Immigration said the picture on the passport didn't resemble what was on the visa sticker. As our people would say....like play, like play, this guy was deported and his visa was ancelled. On getting home, my sister took him to a man of God who said his visa had been cancelled from Nigeria in the spirit by one of those whom he showed it to, that he was only travelling with an empty passport unknowingly. In his own church, his pastor said the same thing as revealed by God. He was asked to pray and observe some fasting and he'd go back with a hitch free admission. He reapplied later and was granted another visa. At the the embassy, they were surprised because the cancelled visa was genuine. The day he was going back, ordinary goat didn't know. At POE, same place the CBP argued that they must have acted in error because his passport and the cancelled visa was devoid of any error...same passport. I just hope people would be wise here. We're mostly architects of our misfortunes but we don't seem to realise this.

U ar on point...........we Africans especially Nigerians we like talking too much, making noise, bragging about what we have achieved publicly on social media even fake achievements we boast about it.............U hardly see the oyinbo people talking too much or making noise they sit and think about making life easy all the time in terms of technology but here we waste a lot of our time busy gossiping, insulting people and we hardly think out of box.......social media is really influencing youths of nowadays negatively, this is a big problem!

no 9 is one fact I never fail to reason about whenever I am about posting any stuff online....I will just be like ''I hope this post won't tarnish the image I am trying to build...''

very true

akpobi:
So what should we na post na

Innovative and educating content.

People just broadcast the high and low of their life on SM all in the name of 'socialising'.

A friend of mine after going through my wall told me "your wall is dry and boring",is it supposed to be my diary of daily event......SMH

Some even go ahead thanking God every now and then on social media as if God has a SM account.....what they wouldn't do in their closet.

tosyne2much:
The one I find repulsive is that of peopke keeping other informed their location, exam and level in school. Take for example, Lagos loading 10%.. ...... , 300l loading. COM 101 taken down, GNS412 here I come.. SMH

Do these for better privacy
