Joseph Olaoye, pastor of Christ Disciples
Church, Ilorin has warned youths against
spending their whole time on social media.
Olaoye gave the warning in Ilorin on Saturday
in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN).
He said youths in the country are becoming
social media freak thereby leading to
distraction from other important things.
” The youths are no more focusing on
learning trade and other apprentice jobs. They
focus more on chatting and watching movies
on their phone.
” They prefer to spend more time chatting and
uploading pictures on Facebook and
Instagram. No time for entrepreneurship skills
and creativity anymore.
” The youths are gradually loosing it to social
media. They are becoming lazy on daily basis
and only care for short cut to survive,” he
said.
The Cleric however advised the youths to
prioritise their career first before any other
alternative fun.
” Prioritise your career first and stop spending
24 hours on phone chatting and uploading.
You can plan your future and stop waiting for
government to share money everytime,” he
said.
He also advised parents to act as a
watchdog to their children and stop allowing
them free access to phone and social media
without strict monitoring and check.( NAN)
