Dont let trying to help others bring misfortune to you...always use your head cry

I don't fall for the "We rise by lifting others bullshit". borders on emotional blackmail most of the time.
You only rise when you carefully plan your life, understand your priorities, set your goals and carefully work towards them.

That's how one notorious scammer keeps creating a new account everyday begging for funds on nairaland: same post, different accounts....everyday. Funnily, he (though claiming to be female to whip up sympathy) makes the post and then use other numerous accounts to foolishly like the post. Imagine....

Since I first had my first ever Facebook account hacked in 2014, that was when I knew Two Factor Authentication Is Very helpful


Even if the scammer knows your password as long as he/she doesn't have your Sim card you enabled it with which Facebook, Instagram or whatsoever social network you're using will send the codes to confirm you're truly the one logging in from another device.


And a lot of People don't know about This , they don't know cyber attacks comes in various ways, if you were not smart enough, that's how the scammer would have hacked your account.

And y'all should stop clicking all these links, that's the most easiest way for the hackers to get your accounts

Even if your bro or sis sent it with his account, call to confirm first, because they might have hacked that your sibling account and will now use it to get yours


TRUST sometimes ehnn dey fall person hand smiley

That's how they used my best friend account to hack my first Facebook account telling me to click one link to contest in one quiz and win 20k, I was dumb and full of trust lipsrsealed

First person wey talk say " EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER " no lie shaa.
definitely may God punish these scammers

Not everyone that ask you for help on social media really need your help, ma y of them are there to turn your joy to sorrow.

I was checking some videos on my Instagram account when a lady DM and asked for my assistant by voting her on one program she's contesting for, immediately I hear that, I remember David message that say we rise by lifting others not knowing that she have another intention. . then I ask how how to go about it.

So how do I enable two factor authentication on my FB and Instagram? Please
it has both advantage and disadvantage. Advantage is this, when enabled, then anyone can't logging to your Facebook on another device without been sent OTP to your phone number because the new device is unknown to your Facebook account, even if your Facebook username and password are correct. But the disadvantage is, If you lost your phone with your simcard in it, and can't get back the sim again ( welcome back sim) , Then you would not be able to logging the Facebook account again even if you remember your logging details. That was how i lost my Facebook account till date.
