Singer Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, has expressed deep concern over the negative use of social media among Nigerian youths.
The Reason With Me hitmaker stated that those who use social media mischievously for clout are treading a dangerous path.
He warned that such misuse is likely to destroy many people.
The singer posted on his Instastory: “Social media is going to destroy a lot of people…” You may consider it merely a matter of cruising, gaining clout, or being trendy… Your eye becomes clear.
In Nigeria, social media use is mostly unregulated due to the absence of an official regulatory authority.
In light of the prevalence of cyberbullying, fake news, hate speech, and defamation, some have called for regulation of social media.
A proposal to regulate social media in Nigeria was put forth in the National Assembly, but it elicited varied responses that greatly impacted its approval. On social media, the bill was also met with strong condemnation.
