Let's focus on addressing things instead of allowing distractions to destroy Nigeria.

It's crazy how certain people like Bobrisky, VDM, Portable, Mohbad's wife, Tonto Dikeh, Daddy Freeze and Nathaniel Bassey have become the centre of attention and discussion. I think the Nigerian government might be doing some things right, too. People have stopped constantly criticizing the government. Should I say that President Tinubu regime is doing something great? Everyone is so consumed that we don't even talk about or leave room for the upcoming generation to learn from or emulate. Everyone's committing online nuisance. Let's focus on things we need to address instead of allowing distractions to destroy Nigeria.

Do you remember the 276 schoolgirls kidnapped in the Chibok community? April 14 marks 10 years since that tragic event. Does anyone know how they are doing now? What about their mental states after such a horrifying incident? Consider the impact on the families and friends of those girls. Though 2014 may seem distant, we're now in 2024, consumed by matters that only harm Nigeria's image worldwide. Did you know that kidnapping of young ones is still on the rise? Instead of being constantly online focusing on things that tarnish the country's image, let's concentrate on initiatives that benefit the youth. So, considering our current trajectory, how do you envision Nigeria in the next 10 years?

Do you remember or even know the name 'Ameyo Stella Adadevoh'? I'm sure some Gen Z would use Google to understand that name. She and some other health workers lost their lives for Nigerians to come online and rant with no purpose other than oppressing others to feel lesser of themselves. In a few months, it will be 10 years since Ebola took so many souls and reshaped countless families. Let's use this year to create awareness and value those heroes who gave us the chance to express ourselves without worry. Even though a Liberian American shouldn't have been allowed on the plane, my point is to remind us of where we're coming from and to focus on something great instead of debating on the wrong issues that won't benefit us in the future.

If you look at today's trends in Nigeria, what do you think will be talked about in the next decade? Many would say not to worry about the future, and in your silent mind, you're right. But what if the future catches up so quickly that you find yourself without purpose or value? It's never too late to start making a positive impact. Figures like Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, Burna Boy, and others are creating a history that most people won't take the time to notice. You might not be as influential as them, but they wouldn't be valued without you and me. So, let's learn to value the right things online, not the BS. If you remember anything significant from 2014 that the country needs to know, add it to this thread.
