Gospel Musician, Tim Godfrey Offers Sterling Advice To Youths About Seeking Validation On Social Media
Tim Godfrey, popular gospel singer has admonished young Nigerians to stop seeking validation on social media.
Speaking at a programme tagged, Monday Night Live, the Nara Nara crooner advised youths to stop looking for love and happiness in the wrong places like Instagram and Twitter. In his words:
“Stop seeking validation on social media. These days, we look for happiness in the wrong places. That is why some people’s joy is dependent on how many ‘likes’ their posts attract on social media.
You are spending time focusing on all the wrong things. Every time you stay on Instagram, somebody is making money from it. Some of us have left our dreams and goals to focus on Instagram and Twitter.”
The gospel artist also shared his experience with an impersonator on Facebook. He added,
“Someone once impersonated me on Facebook, posting my pictures and booking shows. He was discussing with people in Canada, asking to be paid.
I didn’t know about it (on time). Every show I attended as I shared on my social media platforms, he shared it on the page too. The first thing one needs is to have integrity.”
