50 million people at Secondary and University places of learning? That's nearly the population of South Africa! Did you rip that figure out of your ass?

Whether we abuse social media or not, we all have seen the devastating effects of it, from fake news being spawned and unable to regulate. It affects everyone whether the abusers or not.

Loss of feeling of connection and intetraction. We can go on and on.

And the benefits, online sales? Interconnectivity? Network marketing?

Are these worth all the obfuscation of life?

I say social media is the harbinger of moral decline in the 21st century.

Nigeria had an estimated population of 180 million. About 62% of that population (112 million) are aged 25 or younger, which is the age of scholars. So if I estimate that half of that number are old enough to use social media, do you still think I got that out of my ass?
While I agree that the negatives are slightly detrimental to the whims of human emotions, I do not agree Nigerians have been running a major loss since its advent.
Fake news had always been around. I mean, look back to your growing up years and try to remember all the myths you heard growing up which your elders believed but you are now wiser to know it's a total sham. It spreads faster now, real. But it always originates from a human mind.
Let's look at the realities here: Nigeria is a very insecure and impoverished state.
How would we manage to tap into the very scarce sources of living that the leaders continually hoard for themselves barring the new ways of earning a living being made available by the media? Look at how many people are making gain off it.
How would we even stay alive long enough to achieve a purpose in this very dangerous place to live without it? We get information on deadly happenings easily so we can rule such regions off our maps. We easily get information on how to secure our earnings from those who have been victims. We even maintain social attachments via video calls and chats to avoid making treacherous journies that can end one's life either due to bad roads or human weaknesses.
Maybe it does affect how we look into one another's eyes, but it surely helps one survive to even be available to look into one's eyes in the first place

you're prolly right in many apsect. I agree fake news has always been around but travel slowly with very limited reach. Social media on the other hand can set up so many dangerous instances of fake news so much so that even Facebook and WhatsApp have put machinery to stem this tide.

Then the loss of privacy social media has introduced to everyone. While it is expedient information is readily available, social media has empowered the conveyor of fake news without giving them any responsibility to take charge of what they say or air.

Nairaland is one instance where people hide under the thick curtains of anonymity to say about anything.

And yes, we have a large young population but majority seems to be out of school. I think Nigeria has me of the highest children out of school rates in the world even by African standards.

You will be shocked what the NUC and post-primary school board have as record for students registered in both government and private schools.
