''Social Media Is A Blessing And A Curse'' - President Buhari's Aide, Bashir Ahmad

Bashir Ahmad

Bashir Ahmad, the Personal Assistant on New Media to President Muhammadu Buhari,  has stated that Social Media is both a blessing and a curse.

According to Ahmad, a shift from aggressive and critical to positive contributions would make Social Media a more positive contributor to quality of life.

"Social media is a blessing in many ways but a curse in so many others. It brings you closer to more people than you can ever imagine but takes you away from those sitting right next to you." he wrote.

"We should shift the focus of our social media from aggressive and critical to positive and encouraging. Ask yourself why you need to post what you're thinking of posting; are you doing it because you have a bone to pick with someone? Is this the best way to solve it? Good morning beautiful people" he added.
