What Could Be Responsible For Present Day Youth Online Romance Addiction? by Nobody: 10:38pm On Oct 03, 2012
Looking at the trend nowadays, you will discover something weird about today youths-


1. Most are now so idle they prefer to waste 90% of their precious time on social network sites chatting with faceless people and discussing irrelevant things that can never add to their life positively. to the extent that most hardly open their books to read, or if at all they squeeze out time to read, they flip through just to get back to their wasteful internet life that adds no dime or value to their lives.


2. They now hardly do house chores (especially the females) cos they are always in a hurry to go back online to chat and socialize with people they hardly know


3. Most have lost focus they can hardly identify when true love comes their way in real life, hence they throw it away ignorantly cos of faceless friends


4. Most have lost focus they can hardly maintain a stable or healthy relationship in real life because they are always engrossed with social networking online than giving their partners the required attention in real life, hence d reason so many relationships/marriages are breaking more easily than in the past.


5. Most are indirectly/ignorantly cheating on their innocent real life partners in the name of socializing online with faceless people


6. Most have turned internet social networking addicts to the extent that they can hardly have time to develop their God-given talent(s) or gifts.


7. Most have lost focus they spend their study time on the internet trying to socialize or hook-up with faceless people they don't know, which is greatly affecting the overall performance of students in Nigeria of today.

etc etc.


Plz, what could be responsible for majority of youths turning to internet romance addicts could it be any of the reasons below:

- lack of focus in life?

- loneliness?

- boredom?

-greed to acquire what they do not merit?

- peer-pressure ?

- joblessness?

- relationship heart break?

- general life frustration?

- quest to find impossible love?

- increasing rate of infidelity amongst today youths as a result of today sex-appeal marketing going on in every corner of the society?

- poverty and insecurity ?

- attempt to find lost joy lacking in their lives as a result of family misery ?


So I heard, that there are now more than enough dating sites where Nigerian youths spend 24hrs of their time, not even bordered with how these platforms were created, how they can create one.....a friend mailed me a list that goes like this:

2go, badoo, twoo, smiggle, eskimi, mobbosfree, hookup, just to mention but a few...and also learnt the majority of females in these platforms have turned those places to where they run to for financial begs ranging from begging guys for recharge cards to BB subscription, BB, Brazilian hair, etc...while the guys have turned such places to oceans where they go to fish preys...to hunt for vulnerable girls to lure into immoral life of sex, etc.



Please can we reason on this intellectually, why so many youths nowadays waste most of their time on social network sites searching for love and vanity friendship?


BTW, what could be the negative outcome of this latest craze on the youths in mere future

Every human has an enemy within, which strives so hard to bring such human down. Fortunately for some, they've found a means of over-powering the enemy. While unfortunately, most peopole has handed 'total operation' of their lives over to this 'enemy', this enemy in return blindfolds people and lure them into time wasting ventures(majorly through social networks--"online romance addiction"), thereby graudually robbing them of their precious time, forgetting that "compilation of every second/minute/hour makes up every human's lifetime"

Lack of focus, No set goal/aim, peer pressure are one of the major causes of such addictions!
Re: What Could Be Responsible For Present Day Youth Online Romance Addiction? by ITbomb(m): 9:10am On Oct 04, 2012
The addiction is so bad that some can say ' I luv u ' to a complete stranger he just met for 7 days online.

And for others its so bad that they spend their productive time opening hopeless topic and staying up to check on the replies.

And yet again some can be so addicted that they can no longer differentiate between their online life and real life.

And finally , the addiction could degenerate to the level of memorizing the names of all online characters and inviting faceless forum members to a hotel.

The worst part of it all is that most of them youth addicts can hardly accept the truth, or learn to listen to ppl who had been there n learn from them, instead, they prefer to get their hands burnt before they would learn.

Seriously, this online social networking craze will greatly affect Nigerian youths in mere future when many will wake up to realize they graduated with the poorest result due to their ignorant waste of their study time online talking to ppl they dnt know or met online.


Most will probably end up poor as a result of this online thing cos they will be busy socializing online & forget to develop their God given talents & skills that will help them in future.

Most will also get repeated heartbreak online & end up miserable.

Another set will ignorantly turn to prostitutes online without knowing they have & this will affect their future marriages cos they will be unfaithful to their partners in d name of socializing online.



...and many more.
