Nigerian ranks first among countries that spend most times on social media

 

The study conducted by the World of Statistics examined more than 40 countries worldwide and determined their social media usage. The survey found that Nigerian youths spend more time on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, compared to other countries.

This study sheds light on the widespread impact of social media platforms in the country. It also highlights the need for parents, educators, and government officials to be aware of the consumption of social media among youths. While the internet provides significant opportunities for everyone, it’s essential to emphasize that everything has its limits, including social media consumption.

Experts advise that social media usage should be regulated to prevent addiction and reduce the risk of mental health problems. It’s also vital for individuals to be cautious of cyberbullying and online harassment.

Social media can be enormously beneficial, enabling users to connect with friends and family, follow current news trends, advertise their business, and build essential networks. However, when it comes to daily use, moderation is crucial to avoid overuse or addiction.

The World of Statistics cautioned that while social media platforms have unique advantages, it’s essential to recognize the negative effects they may have on vulnerable groups. It recommends the responsible use of social media and the need to educate the younger generation on the risks of overuse.

Nigeria’s emergence at the top of the rankings is remarkable, but the country needs to balance its social media consumption with other essential activities to achieve a healthy balance.
