The Chancellor of Covenant University, Ota, Ogun, Dr David
Oyedepo, has admonished youths against the excessive use of social media.
Oyedepo gave the warning on Friday during the 15th
Convocation of the school in Ota, Ogun, NAN reports.
The chancellor noted that the negative impact of social
media on youths has made them lose focus and robbed them of their destinies.
“The social media saga has eroded the substance of destiny
as it has unconsciously robbed youths of their future and their time.
“The honour of this generation has been wiped off, chatting
all day with no time left to think, plan program and engage productively in the
pursuit of any task.
“Some professionals have classified social media addiction
along with drugs, alcohol and sex.
“Social media that is supposed to be a plus to the youths,
suddenly became a minus, as everything of value is delivered through the
investment of time,” he said.
The chancellor noted that life without a vision was an
adventure in frustration and that life without a bearing was a burden.
He said only those who know where they are going ever get
anywhere.
“No one ever arrives at a future he cannot see, neither does
anyone arrive at a future he is not prepared for.
“It is time for every youth to wake up from slumber and take
his/her destiny in their hands,” he added.
