I just don’t think that every country, (especially less evolved) deserves social media.

Social media has its advantage, but the disadvantage outweighs the advantage, so what’s the point?

All these kidnapping and human part dealers and fraudsters are all product of social media pressure.

You see people living fake life and flaunting both legal and illegal wealth and then it puts pressure on you to do whatever it takes to also be like them. You live in a lawless country so going into crime is a piece of cake since our law enforcement are crippled.

I’m not going to lie, bringing back SARS will not be a bad idea. The rate of crime in Nigerian is alarming and most of these things stem from greed.

Nobody is contented because we have put material things above moral decency, contentment, virtues, every good value you can think of.

Think about Nigeria before social media era, was it this bad?

The truth is that no one is safe. Even a kidnappers child can end up in the hands of a body part seller. All that money and no one has peace of mind.

What is the point of social media if we can’t use it to come together and dethrone our government or protest in the most coordinated fashion like how Singapore did. What’s the point of social media if we can’t use it to put fear into the hearts of those using Nigerian lives to play politics?

Instead we use it to “pepper” each other.

It's such unbalanced thinking that really needs to be shut down.

Money is neutral. It's what it's used for that's dangerous likewise social media.

And what about how money is acquired? It doesn’t matter right?

Does shutting down stop bandits and herdsmen from attacking innocent people... These people sef and Wetin dey come out of their mouths...nawa oo

Thank God you are not Buhari and his minions.

Banditry and herdsmen are obviously sponsored criminals by opposition party naa. They cause enough mayhem and bloodshed and their activities can be spread through the internet causing fear and panic.

This is how you play politics in Nigeria naa.

APC also did the same thing to get into power.

Boss Although you have made a point and it is a valid argument.

But I want to let u understand that flaunting of wealth has been happening even before the Advent of the social media.

Even if u switch off social media, people will still flaunt it.

It behoves on the society to question how that wealth was acquired.

because you're not up to par with your colleagues you want social media shut down so they won't be peppering you with their lifestyle.
If you're contented with what you're doing, you won't feel pressurized when another person is balling.
That's a witch behavior and you'll soon die if you don't purge that hate outta your heart.

Sars would kill you for nothing and we'll be here on nairaland abusing npf. Another day, another bagger fallen.

People have been finding darkways to make money before social media, abi na social media push ezeego to do money rituals?

You can't blame social media.
You're just another stone age useless product of the zoo.

I agree but it’s not the same. Without social media I probably won’t know Hushpuppy exist, only his local people. Believe it or not, H.pup motivates millions of youth today. That kind of motivation, it’s not good. It’s negative motivation.

I don’t feel pressured by social media. I come from a wealthy family. You did not make any point by mentioning Ezeego or whatever. I’m not saying that there won’t be crime, or that outliers won’t exist, but it will not be this rampant and Nigerian youths mind won’t be this toxic.

Your other points are mute.

It just sounds like you have a personal vendetta against something or someone related to SM.

Dey there dey attribute crime to social media.

That's the perogative of who decides to acquire it. It's people that cause problems here

Are you an advanced country? What invention has come from Nigeria that has impacted humanity? You don’t even have electricity lol. Nigeria is primitive and it will remain that way because that’s all our politicians care about.

that's right but shutting down the internet will mostly curb cyber crime which we know will affect some group... How I wish that there can be one kind of shutting down that will affect the way our politicians deal with public funds..

It is only we Nigerians as a people that can come together collectively as one and put the fear of God into the hearts of politicians.

Most of this nonsense will end if we stop worshiping them and start burning their homes immediately there’s a rumor of them fvcking up.

We can’t achieve that without coming together as one. That is what I hoped social media would achieve but instead we use it to viciously attack each other, tribally, financially, etc.

it's not about the supernatural entity solving our problems... It's just that we people don fear God again... What can instill fear is when something tragic happens to them (the politicians) that the fear will come back...

They don’t need to fear anyone except Nigerians. Because they’re serving us. They need to be afraid of what we can do in numbers.

Yea I totally agree

In addition it can also be described as destructive motivation bcoz these youths that are negativity motivated will become future daddies and mummies. So I wonder what value or virtue they will impact on their children.

If Nollywood was even creative, they would have made movies about what the future of Nigeria looks like with what's happening presently, just like how Hollywood has all those future dystopian movies based on how technology progresses.

Instead we have the same recycled movies part one, two, three.

Zero awareness.

“Do not let the internet rush you!!

This is difficult I can't lie ....but Trust God's timing for your life.

On the internet, people do not show you the journey they only show you the result. I feel like if people came out clean and talked about how long, most importantly how much effort it took before certain things came to be a lot of people would be less discouraged about their lives right now.

"This isn't my time right now
But it will come
Let me continue to stay focused
There is no rush"


It can be so hard to scroll through Instagram and see everyone living their best lives, catching flights, nice delicacies.
Folks on social media make it look so easy but trust me when I say everyone has a story.
“
i put this up on my diary few weeks ago.

What you need is a time-off on social media and Serious Soul Surgery .

Most People make clean money!
and you never know this because you do not see the hustle,

You see the result and then you put pressure on yourself, OP. do not blame anyone for your lack of understanding.


Get up and work!
and live the life you want.

Your mentality is sickening!


You are not CONTENT!

We can't be advanced with primitive brained humans like you thinking that social media should be shut off.
Your type are the ones that go into power and start making stupid legislations.
I bet if you had the power, you would have even shut down the internet in this part of the world.

It's not me you should be telling. Why are you so bad at comprehension? I'm only describing things I've noticed. You should tell your fellow youths to not feel pressured by social media. I come from an upper middle class family. I live in the kind of place where people come to take pictures in front of my gate (a trend that has been increasing lately)

You should spread this message to the youths, I don't need it at all.

You are boring.

All the evil that are happening today have been there but a lot of people never knew because not everyone could afford to buy newspaper or watch TV. Also, media practitioners could not be everywhere at the same time to report the news. We might not have heard of Akwa Ibom murder if not for social media. Social media has only advantages, the disadvantages you see is personal. If you like, go thief money because somebody dey flaunt money on Facebook, that one na your choice no be social media cause am.

Present!!

SOMEBODY OFF THE MIC

SenecaTheYonger:

The feeling is mutual.

What purpose do you think television especially cable TV and magazine served before the advent of social media? Without social media, we'll still know a lot of the people we now know through the social media. Knowing them may not be as handy as when we now have social media though.
