Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has advised fans not to be pressured by the lies they see on social media. The movie star, who recently recovered from COVID-19, shared via her Twitter page on Wednesday, January 13, 2021.
“In this age and time of intense pressure especially from social media. Find the time to log off. Have REAL life connections,” she tweeted.
“Don’t feel pressured by the many lies you see, your worries are easier than that of many you may admire. Hang in there and Be patient with yourself.”
Apart from Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, multiple celebrities have come forward to debunk the false realities that social media presents to fans; so they don’t feel the need to measure up to things that are not even real.
Joke Silva, Tonto Dikeh and Funke Akindele, as well as BBNaija alum Sir Dee, are but a few celebrities that have advised fans not to put pressure on themselves to match up to what they see on their screens.
Many of the influencers and actors and actresses are bankrolled by companies they represent and are regularly gifted luxury items. It would be a mistake to assume they buy all the things.
All in all, fans need to be careful of content that create want instead of inspiration and entertainment because in the long-term, it could result in insecurities and bad financial decisions.
