Hello Nairalanders!
As we all know, we're in the 21st century, and technology has really made life easy and sweet and it has also connected the world together irrespective of distance or language barrier.
Social Media has really played a vital role in Communication and making the world a "Global Village".
But despite being so useful and enjoyable, there is a need we apply restraints when using Social Media .. at least for our own good. There are certain things we mustn't do on Social Media. Excerpts below :
1.Thanking A girl/boy for accepting your friend request : This is peculiar to Facebook, like seriously? do you really have to thank him/her for accepting your request? That only makes you look childish and desperate as if you were begging him/her before. Its definitely not smart!
2.Overusing hashtags : You see someone who posted a comment on Facebook or twitter and at the end of the comment you see stuffs like #21May #WeLoveU #LetsKeepitrolling .. come-on bro! do you really need to write that many hashtags? That will only look childish and make the post look so annoying to read. #Fact (I just used one )
3.Asking people to follow you back : Why must you make yourself look so desperate? Why not create a little self pride at least! Asking people to follow you back will just make you look more or less like a roadside beggar begging for some little change!
4. Asking for a lady's nude pictures :Most guys are guilty of this, you strike up a conversation with a girl on Facebook, and after chitchatting and getting on well with her,then you suddenly demand for her nude.s, come-on bros! You are only showing her that you're pervert who is only after sex, Be a gentleman!
5. Plagiarism :When you see an inspirational post or a funny tweet or a unique photo,and you feel the need to show your friends and followers,then you must at least give credit to the owner or original writer of the content.. but reverse seems to be the case,people on social media copy and paste contents and parade it as though they were the original writer.. and that is not good! Plagiarism is a serious offence in most countries, I dunno about Nigeria
6. Posting the same content over and over again : There's this annoying guy that I have in my Facebook, he keeps posting one particular picture over and over again, I dunno really know why he does that ,perhaps because he wore a nice suit in the photo.. I got so tired of seeing the photo.. and the funny thing is that he hardly even get one 'like' .. lol.. why post the same old thing over again, it ain't cool.
7. Posting revealing photos : This goes to mostly the girls,why must you go half-naked on social media just because you wanna get likes and comments.. silly comments like "you're hot" "dope bae" "sexy momma" .. not knowing that you're giving the impression that you're an "olosho" .. Real talk!
Decency pays, you know
8. Sharing your home address : Hehehe .. I was going through one of my Guy's. Facebook profile, then I saw "17B Olusanya street,Maryland".. I was like WTF!!! .Who asked you to share such a personal info? Are you running an office in your house? C'mon dude!
9. Constantly bragging about yourself : Some people are so good at show-offs on social media, especially those who are broke-asses in real life.. Must you snap in front of a mirror just to show us your new phone? .. you're definitely not the first to buy such phone sef .. you mustn't show us your new Timberland or your new wristwatches.. niggah keep it to yourself .. no one asked you to show us.. duurrh!
Lets be real!
Getting into arguments : Lol .. I used to be guilty of this before
. but I realised that there's absolutely no point in getting into arguments with anyone on social media.. cuz people aren't always the way you see them on social media, they might be different you know! .. Why not just ignore if someone tries to pick a fight.. in real sense,that makes you look cool and the person dumb! hehehe

I rest my fingers at this moment, Like some people will always say, "Do not take anything on social media too serious .. they might be joking. lol..

There are only two things you should not do on social media.

1) Do not for any reason sign up for facebook, instagram, twitter.

2) If you have to get one, don't post personal shiit on it for everyone to see. Family and close friends i understand, but every tom, dick and harry? Come on.

sorextee:
D one dat annoys me d most, u see guys forming Street in the hood, but will be thanking a small girl for accepting his friend request.. That one Is extremely annoying..
The issue of plagiarism, well, dat one cannot stop.. Most times, pple steal my posts on fb, and paste on their wall. I don't really care about that anyway.. Although, if I want to use ur write-up, I would seek ur permission first.. Then edit it.

I think the best is just to share rather than to do copy and paste by doing the former, you've already acknowledged the source.

KNOW BETTER THAN THOU PEEPS. These people always complain about other peoples' activities on social media and start making comparisons with their own personal way of life as if its BETTER. Forgetting that every one has got a way and a style of LIFE. If I behave like you,life will be more Boring.#shutup

Adding me to a stüpid group


Tagging me to an unclad or not so good pics

Lastly I'm not guilty of any but I don't think there is anything wrong with asking for follow back

It's just like after watching YouTube video, you are told to like, subscribe and share with friends

Just be prayerful, humble and meek on social
networks and you'll win the heart of Nigerians.

It helps if you pose with a Bible too.

When I started using Twitter, I used to think the "Kindly follow back" thing was automatic. Until I saw people typing it, and I was like what!

Must you beg for me to follow you back. I mean if I follow you, I followed you for a reason, you probably might not have a reason to follow me back, so why should I be offended if you don't follow me back? I mean we dont have to be sentimental about everything.

I agree with all that you posted Op.

As for the thank you for accepting my friend request. I think it depends on individual. If you have a healthy self esteem, I don't think doing that will affect your healthy self esteem.

I rarely send a friend request on Facebook, I rarely do that, but when I do, it means I've seen the person's posts somewhere and I really wanna get inspired by that person's post, and so when my request is accepted, as the Spirit leads me, lol. I send a message telling the person how I love his or her write up, and appreciating the person (not all of them though) for permitting me to learn more from him or her.

It doesnt affect my self esteem in anyway. It's courtsey to me.

Different strokes though.

Thanks to Oasis Feng.

LMFAO! Please oh! What does Spectranet or Oasis Feng the dev of Greenify have to do with any of this? Nigerians funny oh! Loool.

OP @CaptainEColeJnr that number 1 ehn! The way i hate that bullshxt!

repogirl:
I am currently practising number 10 and it feels so good. Especially when I press the report button and the mod joins in sending the perpetrator on forced vacation.

It feels really good.

Lol. Snitches get Stitches.

People who practically live on social media don't have real lives or real jobs!

how hypocritical? this op who argues and abuses people who disagreeing with him is the one posting this?


Nigerians can deceive themselves smh!

last and foremost ...Posting about your personal life on your status, that ish is stupid.

Nice one

Apostlevincent:
Good evening friends,
Edward Ogunniran was a student of LAUTECH, Ogbomoso
from the department of Transport Management (former
president FAMASSA). He needs our help as he is in a very
critical condition. He was knocked down by an unknown
vehicle (hit and run car ) on the evening of Thursday 19th
May, 2016 and he is still unconscious till now.
He needs 1.5 million naira to begin treatment. Pls any help
you can render will be highly appreciated....
Here is his brother's account number OGUNNIRAN TUNDE
0049761679 GTB.....No amount is too small. #saveEdward.
I honestly hate to do this, but Edward has left me with no
choice. He was a member of Anglican Students'
Fellowship. For verification purpose, he's currently at Molly
Specialist Hospital at Idi-Ape, in Ibadan, Oyo state.
Please help this young man.
FYI: He just graduated and he was probably in school for
his final clearance. The same LAUTECH that kept him on
campus until that fateful day has refused to assist. They
said he is a graduate and no longer a student of the
institution.
He was rushed to Lautech teaching hospital, but he was
not attended to because they were on strike. They from
there took him to Bowen Teaching Hospital, but they
wouldn't accept him too. They said his case was critical
and hence referred him to UCH. They journeyed to UCH, in
his poor state, but UCH wouldn't accept him either......fin
ally they took him to Molly Specialist Hospital where they
demanded 1.5m before anything can be done. Please help
this young man. Please.
Thank you.
This is not a scam. You can contact me personally for
more info or to verify the info.

Bro u truly said it all! I so much agree wif d write up ;DBro u truly said it all! I so much agree wif d write up

k

I think 1 & 4 are a wrong.

Nothing wrong with politeness. I never feel the need to say thanks but I appreciate it when people do so.

Saying thanks doesn't mean you won't unfriend him/her sharply if you're doing housekeeping next time.

Wow! Where did you get your statistics on unclad pics demand from? I think some weirdos would do so but "most guys"?

My take is that most happens when people think they are dating. Still a wrong a move anytime.

okay
