#ForwardWisely
The message below is for
those people on your contact list that you do not want to block but would
prefer they would simply #ForwardWisely.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Thank you for keeping in
touch via this platform.
I appreciate that you
want me to be informed and "current" but please, when it comes to
broadcasts and forwarded messages, kindly do me a favour by NOT sending such
messages to me especially when such posts are words, photos or videos that
contain the below:
1. Negative news that
increase fear and unnecessary suspicion in the name of “security alert”.
It's even more annoying
when such a message has been making rounds before I left school. ("Yobe is boiling..." e still neva
done?) Avoid Lagos-Epe road now, blah blah blah ...oh please!
At least confirm the
validity of the message before forwarding...IF you have to forward it.
I hope you know pictures
can be doctored and videos can be acted?
2. Nudity, vulgar
language or coarse jokes that have a tendency to pollute the mind.
Some jokes, especially
sex "jokes" are simply the stench announcing the depraved state of
someone's mind.
3. Messages that have a
“clause” (or curse) that if I don’t forward to 15 people within 15
minutes...yeah right! I will so "break the chain"
"Some
Christians are about to be executed in..."?
Do we really need a "Guilt Pill" before knowing we need to pray
without ceasing?
4. Jokes or statements
about this country that makes saying the National Pledge look like a huge waste
of time.
Don't you think what you
are saying should be along the lines of what you are praying?
5. "Prayers"
that look more like an incantation from a shrine.
6. Posts that can incite
religious or tribal sentiments. Wars have been started because of
"mere" words.
7. Posts that involve
God and the devil in a conversation...dem be mates? (BTW, my name is not Job)
Then there are those
between Satan and his demons. Biko, were you in attendance ni?
etc
Please note that the
list above is not exhaustive.
In summary, just
#ForwardWisely period! If it irritates or annoys you, most likely I would feel
the same.
Thank you.
