CALL IT MADNESS

That's all I can call it, madness! People are taking advantage of opportunities that had never been existent until now to make change and positive impact. Well others are just putting their mouths where they've not been invited. Hitherto if the Daily Graphic or any other newspaper published an article, that was it. If you had something to say, you said it only in your homes. But now progressively you can add a comment to any publication via social media platforms. People are disrespecting here and there, insulting reputable institutions, defamatory remarks about leaders, and it's becoming cancerous. Just because you can say something does not mean you should say it.Social media abuse is on the rise. From everywhere, the news agencies and the general public. I advise if you are bored or looking for recognition, create a blog or post a status on Facebook(it's free anyway). You don't post a insulting comment under a status by a media house that asks people to wish our Honourable President happy birthday. You don't attack a certain reputable Papa Kwasi Nduom who has extensive successes as a businessman because he gave his thoughts on issues that bothers all of us. You don't tell Casely Hayford he is ignorant when you don't know a quarter of what he knows. Respect! Ghana youth, be tolerant of others' opinion even when you don't agree with them. And please if I may; Shut up if you don't have anything progressive to say!
