#DearMentee,

Turn off the TV!

#JustSoYouKnow, this device has made and or marred so many #people! You see in this day and age of television, so many people literally spend hours of their time watching television! Sadly, the vast majority of that population are young people who should be working on building their future! But instead, they invest more of their time on television. Just a reminder, you reap what you sow; if you sow or put more energy into watching #AfricaMagic, #Telemundo, #ZeeWorld, #SuperSports etc, you reap just that that; nothing useful for your life’s purpose. You forget that those people you are busy watching are people who are excelling in their rightful place and making their #money too, while you sit idle and complain about how broke you are and how the country has done you a great injustice.

Dear mentee, do you realize that watching too much TV can be as dangerous as smoking and every hour of television you watch shortens your life span by 22 minutes and also decreases your metabolic rate significantly, this is according to a research conducted in the United States of America and featured on Fox News. So while you are busy wasting your time, you are also busy killing yourself as well and also doing humanity great injustice by not discovering, developing and deploying the immense potentials (purpose) God has deposited inside you to the betterment of humanity!

Dear mentee, whether you know it, admit it or not, there is a subtle social conditioning going on on television. As a matter of fact, everything you watch is a deliberate and carefully planned out propaganda to sell some idea to you and most often than not, you will buy into it. Good case in point is when the West tried to sell gay rights to Africa and most African nations rejected it vehemently…but are you aware that there is a deliberate and calculated attempt at getting people to see nothing wrong with being gay and they are propagating that via television. Do you know that Disney has released cartoons where men are kissing and two princes fall in love and end up living happily ever after…and our children are watching and being imbued with gay values, when they grow up what do you expect them to be?

As a beautiful black #African with short kinky hair, you carry yourself gracefully until you begin to watch TV shows that show you that you have to wear #Brazilian hair to look beautiful, that true beauty comes when you are light skinned, not dark skinned and you begin to bleach and damaged your skin and psyche, just because the television said so! As a young man, you watch television and you see your rap icons/musicians sag, braid their hair, wear tattoos become gangsters and you begin to see it as the cool thing to do and sadly, you adopt that lifestyle and ruin your potentially bright future! You forget that in the country where they live, the government does almost everything for them, here; you have to fight to make it! You fail #WAEC and #JAMB and blame it on JAMB for jamming you whereas instead of taking your time to read/study, you spent it watching television!

Dear mentee, whether you like it or not, until you turn off that television and turn on your brain, you will not achieve as much as you are destined to!

Until we talk again next week, be the best you can be…

#Live…#Laugh…#Love

Your mentor
