Social media could make or mar you, people will do anything for the gram or facebook likes. People would steal, borrow, and even maim others to disposses them of their belongings so they can flaunt what they don't have and be among those that are cool on social media. Marriages have been destroyed. Facebook is even the worst, some people feel having 1k+ likes means they have arrived, very absurd. The most annoying ones are the ones that don't know what not to post and when not to post it. Receive sense people.

A quiet life is a happy life

Some people are being pulled by low self esteem that they start flaunting everything happening in their lives on facebook, whatsapp, snapchat and Instagram.

Many people have remained stagnant and have brought upon themselves backwardness because they blow whistle and they feed other people with irrelevant information in the excellency and gratification of their accomplishments

I have enough sense to know what to post and what not to post. Apparently you don't, take your half witted self elsewhere.

Social media is the new form of education and those who complain against it are the ones who either dont know how to use it to suit their needs or rather those who are so used to doing things the old fashion way.

I still say this, there is nothing like social media addiction coz you have got to keep up with everything you are involved with or someone else who is will outsmart u. If not for phcn issues i shouldnt be offline for even a secs and thats the reason i use 3smartphones so that my clients can always reach me at all times....

If u call it an addiction then its ur problem

Opinionated:


Social media has become a part of our daily life and many of us cannot do without it. What you don’t know is that your addiction to social media is affecting your lives negatively. Read on to know how social media can ruin your life. Jumia travel, the leading online travel agency, urge you to perhaps cut down on the hours you spend on social twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Overthinking emoticons

Some persons while interacting or chatting with someone, and they share an emoticon; they begin to give all sorts of meanings and interpretations to it. It is funny that Just because of an emoticon, they get themselves all worked up and worried. Why? It is just an emoticon.

Checking/updating every second


You have become so attached to Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat that you are checking and updating them every second. The day you don’t access your accounts because you don’t have data, you become hysterical and irrational. It is not a matter of life and death.

Bragging about likes, followers and comments

The number of likes, followers and comments you have has become a thing to brag about and show off. The rule is that the more followers you have, the more traction and engagement you get. True, you do not have to boast about it. Some people go as far as buying likes, followers and even comments.

Posting without thinking

Many of us have converted social media to an abuse platform. A place where we criticize and troll people. As a result, more and more people are in trouble because of what they shared and said on social media. Presently, a popular US based Nigerian journalist Kemi Olunloyo is being charged to court because of the content she shared on social media. Always, think before you share.

Making up just because you want to share pix on Instagram


This is peculiar with girls. They do not have anywhere to go but they dress up, apply makeup and take beautiful pictures just to post on Instagram or Facebook. It is ridiculous.

Staying Up Late


We all do this. We spend hours flying from one social media platform to another. Meanwhile, we are very sleepy but we still continue browsing. Surprisingly, they sleep off while on twitter or WhatsApp. Hence, many of us don’t get enough sleep because of social media.

Seeking social media validation


Seeking social media validation can lead to depression. This is because you wait for others to give you approval for your life activities. If you don’t get the desired response, you become depressed. You should stop seeking social media validation and live your life.
