Seeking social media validation can destroy your dreams, Tim Godfrey warns youths

Popular Nigerian Gospel singer, Tim Godfrey, has admonished young people to stop seeking validation on social media.

Sharing at a programme tagged, Monday Night Live, Godfrey advised people to stop looking for love in the wrong places. In his word, “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 multi-figted Nara crooner 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,” he said.
