The internet kills dreams Before you disagree with me, can you please hear me out first, thanks for calming down, lol. Before I begin, let me first thank @OfficialGamboaLikeUs for the sponsorship, it's not easy to be a sponsor. Now to the topic of the day, the internet is a world of its own and we see a lot of things daily, bad news, good news, and the news between bad and good (fair). ***The Internet is like a cutlas given to someone, it's now up to the person to either uses it to his or her way to the top or use it to bring someone down***, a lot of teenagers or youths in their earlier 20s have been doing unpleasant things lately. In my recent articles, I wrote about how young boys are going into fraud and doing rituals so they can get rich easily and quickly. Today I will be talking about the girls now. In one of @George_Dee recent articles, he wrote about a girl that he knew then, she was working a living and later quit her job, then she started spamming her status with pictures of her in different hotels and so on. It’s kind of common these days and the internet is kind of the cause of it. Most girls don’t want to work anymore, they easily get carried away by what they see in the internet and believe that their body isn’t made for work, so instead of the working for a living to earn money, they rather chill with the big boys and bring a lot of money home, not all are fortunate to return home, some end up with the wrong people and get used for sacrifice. I’m not putting the whole blame on the internet, that’s why I wrote the above statement, the internet have done more good than harm and people are the ones making it sound harmful, I have come across some people that don’t have social media accounts and they are happy about it, the reason is that they believe they can be polluted by some things that is unpleasant to them, so they rather keep off than explain, better safe than sorry right? When you become obsessed with the internet, you will become a liability, you will start seeing things like your mind is playing tricks on you, the internet has helped a lot of people and still helping a lot it people to the top (I hope I become the next batch of people to make it to the top) So is either you use it to build your dreams or use it to kill your dreams, either way, you used it anyway. It's common to see teenage girls and the ones in their early 20s posting lomotif videos of them in a hotel with either their boyfriend or some guy, sometimes I wonder if the parents are aware of the lifestyle of their daughters, girls that are supposed to have goals that they are chasing and plan to acquire, are now in hotels doing videos, thinking life is all about lomotif videos and wearing matching outfits daily. Most of them were hard-working until they see their friends on the Internet doing it when they realize that the friend is earning x2 of what they earn in a month, they will start having doubts if the job is worth the stress, as God hasn't punished the friend, maybe is not a sin, after all, I was given this body for a reason and I'm sure is not to use it to work under anyone, my body is too fine to be under the heat of the sun daily, it should be a hotel room with air conditioning to be cooling it down, I deserved to enjoy life too. All these thoughts will be going through their head, they will forget about their dreams and ambitions in life and decide to sell their body. Having the latest iPhone is also one of the reasons, a girl in benin ones paid transport from her house to her friend's place just to use her iPhone to snap a beautiful picture, haha, funny right, well I'm just getting started. Last year a man lamented on Twitter on how he bought a tailoring machine for a girl (not his girlfriend, he's just a family friend) so she can be using it to make a living because she just did freedoms from where she used to learn, not up to a month, the mother of the girl called the man and told him that the girl sold the machine to buy iPhone, the man was so disappointed. There was this other one I read again, they bought a laptop for the girl to learn coding, she sold it and bought an iPhone so she can be using it to snap pictures, most girls won’t want to work because of what they see in the internet, they believe that they too can have a relaxed life that they won’t work but just flex everyday, they forgot that those people that is having a relaxed life has already worked to the top and the investment they made is now working for them, they forgot that the internet allows you to see what they want you to see. One of my contact on WhatsApp posted a quote and it says “Sad generations with beautiful pictures” a lot of people are going through a lot and some just think is them being weak. Women are making a great impact in society and these girls decide to copy what they called Lifestyle, the dream of an average girl in Nigeria is to have a yahoo boyfriend so they can wear the same outfits and snap beautiful pictures together with the tag “couples goal” I know of a very brilliant girl then in high school, she was every teacher favorite not because she was the most intelligent in class but also because she's decent in dressing, she was the perfect student every teacher loved, but she isn't that person anymore, she now looks like a lost cause that can't be saved. Thanks for yet another joyful ride with me.. Lead image source https://pixabay.com/images/id-2940553/ 02-02-2022
