Badonasty:
He should start by closing is Facebook and other social media accounts

TeDesQ:



Nigga fvck off. Do you know the number of youths who earn a living from the Internet. Just fvck off.

okay, I have

Myer:


You disagree that social media is making most youths of this generation less productive?
You disagree that social media consumes most of the time of the youths that could have been used instead for productivity viz- work, study, physical socialization, etc?
You disagree that majority of social media users only use it for unproductive and illegal activities?

Yes, there's still a sizeable number of youth that use social media productively, but it's negative impact on the youth of our generation cannot be denied.

Should it be regulated? And to what extent, should be the issue at hand.

Religion na politics.
Regulation of SM or freedom of expression should not amount to restriction of same freedom.
African leaders most times are beclouded with their position or power, they hardly see the bigger picture of how they'll want to be viewed after they are no longer in position of power.

Deep Quote
The only constant thing in life is change but most people holding leadership positions in Africa become brain drain due to greed to hold unto power.

@Seniorwriter

TeDesQ:
I disagree

When people no longer have strong grip over controlling people, they feel threatened.

It's control freaks that would have such ìdeologies seeing that massive amount of people they once had as captives are no longer captives of their ìdeologies and control.


The world will continue to be a free place for people and will never return to an era where people are dominated and controlled people by fiat

It's control freaks that need to develop restraint and control themselves

Mikecold:
Where are those always saying oyedepo speaks out and Adeboye don't


Hope you can see speaking out is not a guarantee someone has sense, I prefer the way Adeboye reacted to the Twitter ban

Are you saying the USA, China etc that their youths are using social media don't have future?

When his generation didn't have social media what have they achieved for this country with their focus


When has it become government responsibility to parent youths on internet

grossintel:
I'm disappointed, this is an example of irrational thinking. He can as well encourage FG to ban mobile phone and laptops entirely since yahoo boys use it for fraud.

Ban kitchen knives because women are now using it to kill their husbands and boyfriends.

The benefits of social media can never be overlooked, if not for YouTube I wouldn't have learnt coding, graphics design or game development.

If not for Nairaland, I wouldn't have known freelancing works and how to go about getting clients abroad who pay well.

If not for Facebook, I wouldn't know the best and trending products to dropship.

If not for Twitter, SARS will still be out there killing youths for owning an iPhone.

Whats my own, can they really sensor social media? I don't think it's ever going to happen. Nigerians are very smart people with dump leaders so they will end up paying catchup.

iamimohtal:
Hahaha....I have seen wat his generation is doing...abeg today nah Sunday, I don't want to say shit

PrimadonnaO:
This caption is so wrong. Taking what he said out of context.

Please read what he said carefully before you allow the devil use you to comment nonsense.

He spoke the pure truth!

loswhite:
Lol does restricting social media include stopping ppl from chatting? The headlines and the entire story is just nonsense

MansoryMX:


I stay online 18 hours of the day doing programming and other forms of advertising and ads. This is the first time I will admit what I do for a living in Nairaland. My daily bread comes from social media! If them ban am! Thank God North Korea now have Nuclear bomb and are willing to sell to anyone who can afford it. Na to level this country make everybody rest!

barragan:
First time I'll agree with this fraud.

rayvelez:
Another gibberish from yahoo yahho pastor.

Tomide007:
Oyedepo never talked about governmental regulation. He's talking about addiction. Why do bloggers just love twisting information.

DenreleDave:


Now u said u do for programming where u earn a living but majority of youth only use it to talk from morning to night doing ntn relevant... Show off and other useless things

KingAlabi:
I agree to an extent with this, this year I have found out how distracting notifications can be.

Try it for a day, turn on do not disturb, and work on a task
PS : the above are for the social media freaks.

valentineuwakwe:
They have taken away so many things from us...no food, no house, no healthcare, no good road, no jobs, yet they want to take away free speech from us...God why?

Papa God help this country!
