The Greatest Secret Of Going Viral


Dear Social Media Community Members!

You can see this as my open letter to you. I think we are abusing social media a lot. Then, I think we need to make amends where needed. We need this as soon as NOW.

Otherwise, I see social media bringing forth the Armageddon far sooner than anyone imagines! 

Rather than being a means of hatching WW3, social media should be a place where we come to share nothing else but real values. 

So, the more you do this, the better you will fare. And the better we will all fare.

For instance, I see many people looking for opportunities to go viral with their social media content. Unfortunately, so many people are missing the first step of doing so.

"What's this all-important first step?," you might be asking. The FIRST step for going viral is to have genuine values to share. Think about this for a while...

Have this attitude each time you log on to a social media space and you'll experience stupendous success: I AM GOING THERE PRIMARILY TO SHARE HELPFUL INFORMATION AND RESOURCES.

In due course, you'll get your reward. It will come naturally but only to the extent that you are operating with the right fundamental mindset as just described.

Without sacrificing your self-centredness, you can never really get to this level of consciousness. You can't make much progress if you are still afraid of being helpful.

I'm sure someone out there is shocked at that expression I just used. An observatory study I carried out over a year indicates that up to 70% of social media users in the developing world are afraid to be helpful on social media without seeking immediate rewards for doing so. On the contrary, up to 80% would readily use social media to promote some kind of bitter rivalry between a group someone belongs to and another group.

Compared to the developed world, the figures get as low as 45% and 30% respectively. By my estimates, that's a wide margin of 50% between altruistic citizenry and a malevolent one.

Thus, I see here a major mindset background for why those developing societies are composed mainly of unsuccessful people, making the societies in question cumulatively backward.

I'll be right back.

Contradictory Statements Indicate That The Police May Have Lied Against Bristol Isaac

News reports of the arrest of Bristol Isaac by the Punch Newspapers has the accused doing two opposite things: A police spokesperson says Bristol " locked himself in the hotel room, smashed his phone, and flushed it down the toilet to destroy evidence. He also refused to surrender his phone's password, claiming he had forgotten it, thereby concealing information ". Our question is, if Bristol Isaac already smashed his phone and flushed it down the toilet to destroy evidence, WHICH PHONE'S PASSWORD DID HE REFUSE TO SURRENDER, CLAIMING HE HAD FORGOTTEN IT? Does a smashed phone flushed down the toilet still have passwords? We expect the police and their supporters to defend this possibly by saying that Bristol had more than one phone. If so, we ask: " What would make a person trying to destroy evidence to destroy one evidence-bearing device and leave another?" For us, this seems indefensible but we are open to any contrary opinion if anyone has a

#HarassOmokri2Pay: A Campaign Against Misinformation By Influencers

Someone may have burst the bubble of former Presidential aide Reno Omokri.  Image credit: Wikidata Reno is aware that most Nigerians might be averse to a research culture. So, he often freely gives a challenge that says, " fact-check me". My study of a series of Omokri's "fact-check me" tweets reveals that they are used to influence public opinion unfairly. So, recently, he gave such a challenge which appears to cast a past Nigerian Presidential administration in a bad light as a means of making the current administration look better than it deserves. In that tweet, Omokri was selling the Tinubu Administration using its air safety profile. To achieve that, Omokri, inter alia, claimed that Nigeria was averaging 5 Plane crashes per year some time during the Obasanjo days. As usual, Omokri said " fact-check me " and promised the sum of $10,000 to anyone who could fault his stats. I did the fact-check, faulted Omokri, and informed him via up to
