Popular Nigerian actor, Yul Edochie has lamented over the negative effect of social media on the lives of the youths and how it has caused a lot of harm.
He shared the post via his Twitter handle, the highly-rated movie star, expressed how displeased he is with the way social media networks are affecting the youths negatively.
According to the actor, social media space comprises a whole lot of people showing off and flaunting riches, even when they don’t have much of it.
He further stated that it is this lavish lifestyle that is portrayed by individuals that make youths compete unnecessarily, not to be successful, but to look successful.
He wrote;
“Many youths are under a lot of pressure these days. Sadly it’s not pressured to achieve.
But the pressure to look like they are achieving. And social media is largely responsible for it.
Take it easy. Avoid competition. The goal is to be successful, not to look successful.”
