The Chancellor of Covenant University, Ota, Ogun, Dr David Oyedepo, has expressed his worry over too much engagement of youths in social media.

Just as he warned them against toying with their future through too much social media chatting at the detriment of good and productive future plans.

Oyedepo made this known Friday 21 May 2021 during the 15th convocation of the university in Ota, Ogun, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The cleric, who is the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, (Winners’ Chapel International), said, “The social media saga has eroded the substance of destiny as it has unconsciously robbed youths of their future and their time.

“The honour of this generation has been wiped off, chatting all day with no time left to think, plan program and engage productively in the pursuit of any task.

“Some professionals have classified social media addiction along with drugs, alcohol and sex.

“Social media that is supposed to be a plus to the youths, suddenly became a minus, as everything of value is delivered through the investment of time.”

“No one ever arrives at a future he cannot see, neither does anyone arrive at a future he is not prepared for.

“It is time for every youth to wake up from slumber and take his/her destiny in their hands,” he said.
