Laws of social media power April 19, 2013 by Blossom Nnodim (blcompere@gmail.com @blcompere) The book, “The 48 Laws of Power”, an international bestseller, is a practical guide for anyone who wants power, observes power, or wants to arm himself against power. It has sold over 1.2 million copies in the United States alone and is popular with famous rappers, entrepreneurs, celebrities, athletes and actors. The book is intended to show people how to gain power, preserve it, and defend themselves against power manipulators. Each law is its own chapter, complete with a “transgression of the law,” “observation of the law,” and a “reversal.” When American author and speaker, Robert Greene, began to write what later became an international bestseller, I am pretty certain that he would have effortlessly assented to the fact that his general themes of strategy, power and seduction would one day play out in the social media space. Thanks to the unwavering passion by Robert to see to the emergence of this amazing book, I have an opportunity to relate these globally accepted rules to social media. Out of the 48, I have been able to find a direct linkage between seven and the power play found on the social media space. Law 1: Never outshine the master The master here refers to folks that are deemed to have a higher online influence than you. Always make them feel comfortably superior. Always submit to them. This plays out more when using the Twitter platform. Ensure to retweet their every thought and feed their ego with honest excitement. Chances are that they will take notice of your “famzing” (an act of familiarising yourself with a Twitter celebrity) and subsequently give you a shout out. Law 4: Always say less than necessary The character limit policy on most social media platforms have made this quite easy to adapt to. Even a fool is assumed to be brilliant when his/her mouth is closed. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish. Always play on the power of suspense. Let people volunteer conclusions for you. After all, publicity is publicity whether negative or positive. Law 6: Court attention at all cost There are a lot of folks currently using social media. Conversations are quick in arising and equally fast in getting into the white noise arena. Never let yourself or your thoughts get lost in the busy and crowded street of social media. Stand out. Be conspicuous, at all cost. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger, more colourful, and more mysterious, than the bland and timid masses. Your updates should be unique enough to strike a pose all by itself. Law 19: Know who you are dealing with. Do not offend the wrong person There are ‘certified’ social media celebrities. They have a large number of followers that are always on standby to teach you the rules of the game if you dare to offend them. These folks should not be your target of offence. Steer clear from them or be at the mercy of their equally certified “voltrons” (mouth piece of the social media celebrity). A voltron is one that will go to any length to ensure that the Social Media celebrity’s effect of his/her “famzing” subject is maintained for a period. On the other hand, if he/she feels that the subject is not worthy of attention, the “vextron” attitude is unleashed. This involves using abusive words on the subject and most often make the subject an object of ridicule, scorn and mockery. Choose your victims and opponents carefully, then never offend or deceive the wrong person. Law 25: re-create yourself Social Media gives you the instant platform to re-create yourself. Deliberately forge a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience. Ensure to add as much dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions to enhance your power. You can make people to believe that you are whoever you want them to think. You can make folks assume that your hustle is paying you in six digits even when the next source of income for the soon-to-expire Internet subscription is unknown. You can add as many friends as you possibly can and be as popular as you can be. You can know anything you want to know, when you want to know it, and connect with issues and acquaintances in an effortless instance. You can be the best football analyst even when you are not watching the ongoing game. Law 36: Disdain things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best revenge If you cannot have it or if the very act of ensuring that stuff comes your way, ignore it. Better still, disdain it. By acknowledging an inconsequential challenge, you end up giving it unnecessary attention and credibility. It is sometimes best to leave things alone, especially small things. If there is something you want but cannot have, show absolute contempt for it. The less interest you reveal, the more superior you seem. Law 38: Think as you like but behave like others Follow the crowd! Follow the crowd! Follow the crowd! The fact that this same sentence is repeated three times is enough to draw the much needed attention to the meaning. If you make a show of going against the social media crowd, flaunting your assumed superiority, unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, folks will think that you only want attention and will certainly ensure that you pay the price for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your superior or dissenting views with tolerant friends, acquaintances and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness. There we have them. I will not pretend that this rules did not bring so much laughter to my furrowed brow even as I furiously hammered away on my keyboard. Go ahead laugh it off but do me a favor of ensuring to utilize all or some when the opportunity calls for it. http://www.punchng.com/i-punch/laws-of-social-media-power/ |

Complaint, complaint,complaint. Nagging,nagging,nagging. She is at the centre of the universe, everybody must worship her, she must be in charge. Trust me, with this pride I made sure she wields zero power in my house. Before I forget, I am a Mechanical Engineer, she doesn't have a good O-level. Yes, my emotions are on vacation, is it my fault?[/quote]Buddy listen to me carefully.I careless whether she came from Ikeduru.There is no Love between you two.She held on because she had games going on and wasn't sure, but you are cool guy to be with.Most definately not her choice nor her peoples.Shes been messing with your brain and you were overtly in-love with her.You need SEPARATION for some time....and i'm not talking about 2-3 months.Long enough to flush any emotions you have for her from your system. Your kids are now your uttermost priority. Allow her to continue gallivanting but no where near you and your kids. Good thing you are in naija.In fact she should be far away from you and your kids.Meanwhile,i suggest you carry out biological test on the kids if you are in doubt.That way your heart will be settled if they are yours or not and if you want to continue to be their father irregardless. Act FAST. |
byvan: Brother,please don't divorce hastily.Can you try seperation?like seek refuge with a responsible friend for a while,ofcourse pop back into your house every now and then to play with your children.Maybe this woman will think about her marriage and know she misses her husband.Please keep being faithful and the man that you are,don't let an ungrateful woman change your personality.Since she hasn't cheated yet,please try seperation,don't divorce hastily.At some point you have to make a decision,if this woman still doesn't change after a seperation,let her walk if she want to.And why must he the one to go seek REFUGE when the hoe in his house is the culprit.ABEGI, ARRANGE ANOTHER ROUND OF MEETING FOR HER PAPA HOUSE BUT ENSURE YOU HAVE HER LUGGAGES PACKED QUIETLY. AS YOU REACH THERE DROP HER AND HER BAGS AND ZOOM OFF.GOOD RIDDANCE ![]() |
Abagworo: Mr. Odozor who graduated alongside 15 other trained pilots at the Afrika Union Aviation Academy (AUAA), Mafikeng, South Africa on Saturday was described as the new hope of the African aviation industry.Wow COMMERCIAL license...Thats great.But what about the female pilot trainees from naija....whats this girls name from Edo/Delta? ![]() |

Kai..is it that bad now he is even refered to as MR Adeboye....na wa o. |
On a serious note i concur.Today other countries also judge us by the type of movies we churn out."Nigerians are too fetish, Nigerians are crooked,Theres nothing encouraging about Nigeria".They accept us based on what they see and read.So Yes I concur to the ban. |
berem: This marriage of a thing don tire pesin sef. sometimes i just ask God, must a man and woman be under the same roof as husband and wife to have kids? why can't someone just have kids and be single? marriage na by force?Not by force but by choice.read about her regrets again and there are so many in the same bus today who portrays a false image of i'm single mom and the happiest woman on earth. Marriage ain't meant for babies. |
If you still need your head on your shoulders, no try am...I know it is tempting seeing another woman brandishing her ikebe and her latest lingerie in your presence constantly without giving a hoot. Some people are like that anyway. Go get your own babe FAST.Na so.If you tell the hubby,he will, not might go jealous and may even become violent.Jokes apart,the lady is flirting with you non-verbatim.So either you re-package your single status hood or you simply waka. Otherwise, the ooohs and ahhhs shes passing across from the other side of the bedroom have already possessed your imagination and you wont mind 'tasting her' if just once. Na dia trouble part 2 go start.Talking from experience. |
aburo7: Source http://www.toniaodili.com/2013/04/i-regret-being-divorcee-monalisa-chinda.html?m=0be careful of friends who gives you advises that bothers most times on " Think about yourself first". A timely separation and a possible reconciliation would have saved you this agony". Well its a lesson.No matter how famous or wealthy you could be... single parent hood isn't always the best.It's a classic western bullshit to encourage 'freelancing and adultery".....It is not good that man (woman) should live alone............ |
Lilimax: About 250 aliens were, yesterday, arrested by a combined security operatives comprising the Military, Police and Department of State Security, DSS, in Lagos, as part of strategy to nip in the bud infiltration of terrorists into the state.As Yorubas will say " O Pari" . |
jmoore: Very soon we will have a bestial couple too. Moral decadence is growing...You got that right matey...Soon Bestiality will be legalized all in the name and claim of "Thats the way God made me and i love animals which are more honest than men". Just watch out. And why wont they legalize same sex marriage when the head is not in the right frame of mind? |
[quote author=Subomi-luv]I have come to a realisation that it would be best to marry a white man. Ever since i was younger i always felt this attraction to white men, there is just something so sexy and a lil taboo abt white men that i just cannot get out of my system. But its not only physically but mentally too. White men do not have the same complexes and villager mentality as some of the blk men do. They really know how to make a women feel special and carry their weight around such as helping the lady with chores lovingly, just the way they are also on top of the corporate ladder. The Alpha males. They strive to be the best and they uplift you and empower you instead of insulting and accussing you of feminism. I was watching a youtube video of britpopprinces with her white husband and the way this guy is damn no blk man would do the same as he does. Even white men do not have any mishaps abt blk women wearing weaves or being darker or lighter. They see you for yourself. I guess in the past i was shy to admit it. Scared what would ppl say or think. Scared of the stares etc. So i have missed out on some good white guys in the past because of this plus i thought that all just want blk women for one thing. But things are changing, ppl are different. Dnt judge a person based on hearsay and stereotypes. So women this is now 21st century. Do what you need to do. Date who you want whether white, asian, black, nigerian or non-nigerian. You have only one life to live and be with someone who will make you happy and fit your personality. I love white men and i cannot lie.[/quote]So? ![]() |
