The Pain of Tomorrow
Written by Aminat Adesanmi
There was a couple who gave birth to a set of twins in Lagos. They exposed their twins to Social media in their tender age.
One day, when their Aunt came to their house, she was surprised when she saw the twins, busy on their phones, not knowing when she entered. Their aunt was not happy and talked to their parents but their parents were not happy about her rebuke. So, they sent her out. They thought there was nothing wrong with it.
On the other side of Lagos, there was another couple who gave birth to twins. They did not expose their children to social media because they know that their children are God’s gift to them. So, they kept teaching them the way to use social media and the dangerous effect of social media.

One day, a visitor came to their house; the visitor was surprised and glad about the twins because the visitor saw them reading their books. This visitor bought some textbooks and some interesting literature. They thanked the visitor.
The two sets of twins attended the same school. The first twins that had phones showed some of the things they saw on the internet to the other twins. But the other twins would always report to their teacher or their parents.
One day, the first twins were watching nude videos on their phones and they invited the second twins t o watch, unknowing to the second twins. Immediately, they saw what the first twins were watching, they reported to their class teacher. The class teacher punished the first twins and seized their phones. The twins knew that it was the second twins, who reported to their teachers and they decided to ambush them on their way home and beat them mercilessly.
The second twins were sad and their parents asked them what happened, they told their parents everything. Their parents begged them and told them they will report to their teachers. The twins told them not to worry about telling their teacher.
One day, the teachers taught the students the effect of social media. The first twins didn’t bother themselves about what the teacher taught them. They counted it as a waste of energy.
After two years, the two twins graduated from secondary school. The first twins gained admission into the University of Ibadan, while the other set went to the University of Ilorin. In their 200 level, second semester examination. The first twins were caught cheating in their exam halls with their phone. Due to this, they were expelled.
After two years, the second twins graduated and worked in a big company. They told their parents about the first twins and they felt sad about that way of life.
Social media has cybercrime, nude videos etc. So, we should be careful about misusing social media. `

Gbenga was a good man blessed with a good wife, but no child. They were married for two years. Gbenga’s wife was a social media addict. She was regularly on social media and did not have enough time to cook for her husband.
One day, Gbenga’s wife, Grace, was cooking with a hot plate while she was inside the sitting room, chatting on the phone. She had forgotten that she was cooking. When her husband came in he started perceiving something burning but Grace did not know that her husband had arrived.
Gbenga berated her. ‘Did you want to set the house on fire? You are always busy on social media. Now, you did not remember that you were cooking’.
Grace rushed to the kitchen and turned off the gas. And she went back to the sitting room and started begging her husband.
‘If I forgive you easily, you won’t know what offence you have done’, Gbenga said angrily and went into the bedroom.
Three months later, while Grace was driving, she was chatting on social media. As she was driving, she suddenly lost control and had an accident. Some people near the incident called on an ambulance and took her away.
The information reached Gbenga and he was so confused. At the hospital, when Grace opened her eyes, she found herself and saw her husband beside her.
‘Where am I? I was driving the I lost control’, said Grace.
‘Will you just shut up and you are always on social media... Firstly, you wanted to set the house on fire. Now, you want to kill yourself because of social media. If you continue this social media frenzy, I’m going to divorce you’, Gbenga said angrily and walked out. Grace started crying and had no one to tell her to stop crying.
Some weeks later, Grace had recovered well and was in the sitting room with her husband.
‘Why are you so quiet today. You are not chatting today’, Gbenga asked.
‘Are you making jest of me? I had learnt a big lesson on what social media is causing in human's life. See, social media is doing much harm than good on our today’s youth. I’ve learnt my lesson’, replied Grace.
Gbenga was very happy with the statement his wife gave him. Since then, Gbenga and his wife are now living happily and later gave birth to three children.
