The Selfie Craze: Love Thyself. by shiftback: 5:31pm On Mar 15, 2017 |
Its 6pm and Ujunwa is getting ready for a night out with her boo. Make-up ✓, hair-do ✓, perfume ✓. She's all set to go but she has a feeling there's something else that needs to be done. She checks the content of her purse one last time; make-up kit✓, vex money✓, powerbank✓ smartphone✓. Yess! She finally figured it out; SELFIE! she hasn't taken the all important selfie. After spending 2hrs in front of the mirror she can't coman let her make-up go to waste. She took out her smartphone, tilted at 45 degrees just above her eyeline. The pose is important, the slight raise of the eyebrow too, the sideways smile that says she's pretty and she knows it and a subtle display of bare flesh just below the clavicle. Snap! Quickly she applied all her favourite filters. Then, with a single tap she uploads: to Twitter, to Facebook, to Instagram. Seconds later her screen starts filling up with thumbs-up sign and heart shaped emotions. Each likeness accompanied by a self-referential hashtag. Her image is getting the retweet, tag and share treatment. She felt a sense of accomplishment. Now she can go out to her party, where she's sure to take several hundred more selfies during the course of the night. Everyone seems to be in on the Selfie Craze, not just Uju and friends. Musicians, politicians, Footballers(Can you believe Francesco Totti took a selfie during a football match?), Civil servants, Patients on their sick bed, Teachers, Students, Market women and i kid you not, i saw Suleiman Mai Ruwa taking a selfie the other day. Even Brands too are capitalising on the selfie craze. Tecno is currently doing a selfie challenge on social media. You take a selfie, add your city, mention someone and challenge them to do same, the entries with the most likes and shares get to win the soon to be released Camon CX and a chance to win a trip to London. Follow this link for how to participate in the Tecno #XSelfieChallenge http://bbs.tecno-mobile.com/forum/general/93433-terms-and-conditions-of-the-xselfiechallenge If you think the selfie craze will end anytime soon then think again. Do a #me or #selflove search on Instagram and you'll get an idea of what i mean. Literally over a hundred million selfies are posted daily on Instagram. The reason why people take selfies is many and varied and beyond the scope of this post but I'm sure self love is top of the list. I can bet whatever unimportant item I own that a lot of people reading this took a selfie today. If you haven't done so, take one now but don't do it in the state of UnCloth. Peace. |

shiftback: The love for selfie these days eh! It's without part 2, and for Tecno to bring up this idea, is commendable. I am definitely sharing mine too |
