Seven Irrelevant Things An Average Nigerian Youth In: Positive Social Networking by Antoinne: 8:09am On Jul 23, 2015 |
Today, an article came up on the front page of Nairaland describing the many irrelevant things Nigerian youths engage in. The author highlighted a number of vices the Nigerian youth enthusiastically embraces. As sorry as these are, there is arguably no doubt some element of truth can be found sprinkled around the writer's thesis. Many a Nigerian youngster have become so carried away with by modern advances that they take their influence for granted. It is especially unnerving to find them incredibly preoccupied with social media to the extent of self-annihilation. They chat, whatsapp and facebook to stupor, leaving room for no other mind-engaging activities. While it's completely in order to socialize and, perhaps, use the services of these many social networking, getting constantly lured to the same services or suffering from an addiction that doesn't permit letting go off a smartphone for two seconds puts the affected on a path towards what Nigerians have termed, "mumuity". In other words, you become a real "mumu". Social networks can be used for something good, if indeed you want to. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are not all there are. Below are a list of social networks you should subscribe to and subsequently make good use of if indeed you seek to develop yourself. Perhaps if the number of Nigerians on these other websites neared only half the multitude on the three big giants mentioned earlier, this country might just have the necessary human resources it needs to liberate itself from the intellectual abyss it has since remained in.
