SEC15 WK1: "LIFE ON SOCIALMEDIA"

^source

Social media is a world of it own that allows diverse kinds of people from all over the world not minding one's language, culture or tribe to connect and build up relationships. It also gives one the privilege to grow if used wisely. Not being on any social media is like one doesn't exist speaking of this century because everything is almost done online now.

Do you support that our daily lifes should be put on social media all the time?

I do not concur to that ideology. Social media has it's advantage and disadvantage especially for some like Facebook, twitter, Instagram and likes which are not restricted to just one's contact like WhatsApp. Especially in a country like Nigeria where we know that spirituality is what we deal with every seconds of our life. It's rather risky here in Nigeria to post your whole life activities either good and bad on social media all the time because the Principalities we now war with have graduated to online follow up too oo(lol). So I'll say, if you want to live long especially as a Nigerian, don't expose yourself to social media all the time. Post the needful, not just having fun all the time.

Have you ever seen a case where a person has the habit of of showcasing his life on social media and the effect turned out well?

Life is like a tree with different branches, so it's depending on the part of life such person is exposing. I have a sister who make post on her Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp account. She does this mostly for the gospel and writing contents and leading men to Christ. Also, there's this worship minister in my country, Sunmisola Agbebi. She was one who loved music and a longing heart for worship unfortunately, she wasn't voted for at the contest she went for but was discouraged by those she looked up too then. So she took to her social media pages, dropped every short worship session she did and boom! God made a way for her and she's one of the best and youngest worship minister we have in Nigeria.

Do you think all the showcase on social media are true?

No, I've never thought so. Many just want to belong due to peer pressure, low self-confidence, pride, and lots more. Many doesn't even have a reason of being active on social media, they are just there for the fun of it and pass time. So over 70% of the things happening on social media are fake while 30% are true.

Do you feel safe on steemit with your information? What can you say about steemit?

Life is a risk and everything that comes with it. It has been few months since I joined the platform and I've never had security issues. I have friends here who have been on steemit for years and are always checking on me to know if I'm having any issues in order to render their help. So, yes I feel safe here on steemit. And about steemit, I would say it's a platform that gives opportunity to those who feels and desires to explore more on their writing skills and to discover potentials still hidden in them. And thanks to our leaders for the encouragement given through votes, comments and contest.

Note: What works for others might not work for you. Be yourself and not what others want to see. You can be the best version of yourself not until you expose yourself to the world. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Specially inviting my friends @aprendeconkevin
