A lot of shaming going on, on social media platforms de weak me. "Body shaming", "Intellectual shaming" and I don't get it. She's too fat, she's too short, he's very skinny abi lanky, ugly thing, and the list continues. So, this is what Social Media 2017 is about abi? Okay. I will get back to that.

#Intellectual_Shaming. Some people will never like nor comment on your post but when you make grammatical error(s) that is when they'll carry their busy body gbaaam ontop your matter, pointing out to your error as if they get paid for it. It's not wrong to correct someone's error but don't make the person feel less of him/herself. What about hitting his/her inbox?
The truth remains that English language is our lingual franca and not our arterial tongue. You can't be more English than an English man. You shame someone for been bad at writing or speaking the Queen's language but you can't write nor speak in your local dialect, you see your life? You're the one who needs serious prayers because your unkus in the village use your brain to drink fresh enu nkwu every morning.

You can shame me for been bad @ spoken or written English but you can never change the "Thanks for coming" clearly written on my certificate. Neither can you posses my "Intellectual property". Since Facebook now pay people for all kinds of shaming.

The question remains, does your command of English language put food on your table? If it doesn't, Oh thou Prince Williams and Princess Diana can you keep kwayet.

Then again, everybody is not a writer. That someone can't conjure up something, make it apt and endearing doesn't mean he/she has low intellect. The art of writing itself is a gift as well as a skill. Don't use it as a yardstick to measure intelligence. This is the great shame of our education systems and societies. We need to grow up please.

I don't know for others but my mission on social media is simple. Make people laugh to the best of my ability and have fun as well. Make good friends. Teach, inspire and motivate people as far as my brain can carry me. Follow up people who are better than me, learn from them and improve as a person. Kpom kwem! Nothing more, nothing less.

Ndewo nu!

OP, Just as you rightly pointed out, writing an "endearing article" is an art of talent same as pointing out others' "errors;" The problem is taking social media criticisms too seriously.

You're right but then bro, there's a difference between correction and shaming. Some deliberately want to nail you to the cross not like you guys had issues or something. Hope you got my point
