Facebook like most social networks can only be fully
utilized only after a user who must agree to be 13 years or
older, has created a personal profile. The personal profile is
not only the Facebook identity but the ‘global identity of
the user’. Many youngsters do not take for granted their
profile picture. Many youths spend days engrossed in
thoughts on what people think of their picture and so they
continually change their Facebook profile picture if they do
not get sufficient numbers of ‘likes’. Some youths in their
craving to attain cheap fame, tend to step over the line,
posting pictures revealing entire nude body, parts of genitals,
entire genitals, breast, tits, laps etc. on the social
media with little or no regard to other users. Such youths
use these aforementioned pictures as their contact pictures
while others post it periodically online. How all the
aforementioned leads to the attainment of success, only
beats the imagination. Several African psychologists and
clerics fear that the new Facebook addiction many very
soon adversely affect the academic, social and spiritual
lives of the youths.
