My Social Media Delima

Funny how people i went to gwags with, now have studied at one London or American school on their profiles because of masters, no trace of their Nigerian education whatsoever. You do realise that an inferiority complex is a mental not physical state. Just realised that for many Nigerians boarding an aeroplane to any land that has white people improves a persons  social status especially with the help of social media. I'm not refering to a few holiday snaps, i'm refering to the show offs. Some have caught my attention but I will refrain from mentioning names.
This post is for those who are living their lives by what they see on social media. Hate to break it to you but life is not so rosy for the fake people you're trying to keep up with either. Some of you wise ones will say tell me something new but i've come to realise a lot of people are so caught up in the images they are becoming soo (for lack of a better discription) self absorbed. Being the best dressed, richest, prettiest name it, they want it, to qoute my pastors wife "most young people today want what thier fathers worked for years to get, right now".
My worry is not that young people have long throat, it is what drives it that worries me. It is so difficult for young Nigerians to come out for what is important, but mention show and you need not say more.
So to the posers that brought about this post, remember you're not what you wear and where you've been. Be a good human being and we'll love you no matter what.
