Sense of morality can be treated from primary schools, secondary schools \u2013 formative years of young people. Parents must get more involved in moulding the character of their children,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Bankole also stated that social media was not the cause of Nigeria\u2019s problems, but rather a consequence of the country\u2019s challenges.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWithout a proper diagnosis, we cannot begin to proffer solutions to Nigeria\u2019s problems.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cAt this point in our history, I will advice that we should not confuse causes and effects, symptoms and consequences,\u201d he said<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Adding that Islam is an simple religion that has been solving societal problems, Bankole called on Nigerians to go back to the Quran for guidance.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He said issues should be placed in their right perspectives, noting that, \u201cthe problem here is that we are putting number five as number one and we expect peace to reign.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Earlier, the Registrar of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/04\/09\/2022-utme-mock-jamb-expresses-satisfaction-over-conduct-nationwide\/\"><strong>Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB)<\/strong> <\/a>Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, decried the indiscriminate use of social media.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Oloyede, who was the guest speaker at the event, was represented by a former Administrative Secretary of Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Isah Okonkwo.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Oloyede noted that the indiscriminate use of social media had contributed to corruption and the crime rate in the country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cIn the past, it was shameful to be associated with any corrupt incident, as communities could easily disown their own for merely being indicted for corrupt practices.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cToday, wealth is being celebrated on social media in a way that demonstrates acceptability of wealth irrespective of its source,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He said this, in effect, had led to students indulging in all sorts of fraudulent and occultic acts just to show off or celebrate on social media.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cCelebrating ill-gotten wealth on social media sends the wrong message to the younger ones that they could do anything to get rich.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cSimilarly, some of the movie scenes watched by these young impressionable youths is responsible for the increase in the ritual killings being experienced today,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In his remarks,\u00a0 Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, said that in spite of its negative effects, social media is encouraged for social interaction.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cSo, what is important is that we should drop the bad aspect of social media and embrace the good side,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former House of Representatives Speaker, Mr Oladimeji Bankole, has called for less emphasis on the age of the leaders to pilot the affairs of the country.
