“This generation may lose her heroes to social media disaster” Bishop David Oyedepo warns

The general overseer of the Living Faith Ministries (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo has called on the regulation of social media amidst how it’s devouring the Nigerian youth future.

He detailed his grumble and warned that if care is not taken. The new generation will lose their future heroes to social media via how it has earned the passion of the new generation.

In his words, he said:

“It unconsciously robs people of their future by robbing them of their time — no time to think; no time to plan; no time to programme.”

“This generation may lose her heroes to social media disaster. Here is one creeping serpent that is eating up the destinies of many individuals.”

“We must wake up from our slumber to deal with this monster. Young people, beware! Addiction to social media is like addiction to drugs. It can render a whole destiny useless.”

“This social media saga has eroded the substance of destiny of most youths today. What is supposed to be a plus has suddenly become a major minus, because everything of value delivers through investment of time.”

“Suddenly, we are faced with a generation on the wrong side of history; the honour of this generation has been wiped off — chatting all day with no time left to think, plan, programme and engage productively in the pursuit of any task.”

Many youths spend less than 10 to 20 percent of their time on their tasks per day. They can never match a generation that spends 70 percent to 80 percent of their time on their tasks.”
