Mr Ahmed Taiwo, an Ilorin-based legal practitioner, has advised youths to stay focused and avoid spending too much time on social media.<\/p>\n
Taiwo, who gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin on Saturday, said social media addiction was causing youths to lose focus.<\/p>\n
According to him, many young people spend hours on their phones doing things that are of little or no value to them.<\/p>\n
“Instead of doing reasonable things, they spend their time on their phones and computers, making friends and following celebrities on social media.”<\/p>\n
“Youths must learn to manage their time wisely and to plan for the future.”<\/p>\n
“Social media can be distracting; young people must overcome their addiction.”<\/p>\n
“There are many opportunities on social media, but many young people are not taking advantage of them,” he said.<\/p>\n
The lawyer also advised the youngsters to be disciplined and to avoid doing things that would jeopardize their future.<\/p>\n
