Youths have been advised to be mindful of how they use social media. This advice was dropped at a tech talk hosted by the Youth Committee of Lagos Country Club, Ikeja on Saturday.
Delivering the talk tagged: ‘The pros and cons of Social Media’, Fortune Okoye, a young tech entrepreneur, said while social media can be used for many positive things, youths should be conscious of their trails when using the internet or any social media.
“When using the internet, try and avoid anything you know that would make you beg the police or that you would not be proud of,” Okoye said.
“Don’t be tempted and think what you’re doing online cannot be accessible by anyone. In today’s world, the only thing that cannot be accessed is what has not been done.”
The talk which was part of the Youth Week of the Lagos Country Club, Ikeja, was attended by teenagers and followed by a teenagers party.
According to the Chairman of the Youth Committee of the Club, Sesan Asani, “teenagers are the bridge between children and adults and the Youth Week is part of activities to embrace them into the club activities so that they do not feel left out.”
Earlier, teenagers had engaged in Water Polo, Football and Basketball games on Thursday and Friday.
The Youth Week was then rounded off with a pool party on Saturday which was graced by hip hop artiste, Clever Jay.
