someone, and they share an emoticon; they begin
to give all sorts of meanings and interpretations to
it. It is funny that Just because of an emoticon,
they get themselves all worked up and worried.
Why? It is just an emoticon. Checking/updating every second You have become so attached to Facebook,
Instagram and Snapchat that you are checking
and updating them every second. The day you
don’t access your accounts because you don’t
have data, you become hysterical and irrational. It
is not a matter of life and death. Bragging about likes, followers and
comments The number of likes, followers and comments you
have has become a thing to brag about and show
off. The rule is that the more followers you have,
the more traction and engagement you get. True,
you do not have to boast about it. Some people
go as far as buying likes, followers and even comments. Posting without thinking Many of us have converted social media to an
abuse platform. A place where we criticize and troll
people. As a result, more and more people are in
trouble because of what they shared and said on
social media. Presently, a popular US based
Nigerian journalist Kemi Olunloyo is being charged to court because of the content she shared on
social media. Always, think before you share. Making up just because you want to
share pix on Instagram This is peculiar with girls. They do not have
anywhere to go but they dress up, apply makeup
and take beautiful pictures just to post on
Instagram or Facebook. It is ridiculous.
