Taking to her Instagram page, Mary Njoku noted that many prefer to be keyboard warriors, venting online instead of confronting problems in person.
The mother of three and founder of Rok TV expressed her nostalgia for the days when she could meet with those who caused issues and have genuine conversations to resolve them. She added that some people use social media to seek public sympathy and temporary fame, that is why issues do not change.
She advised that after engaging on social media, people should return to addressing issues in real life, where their struggles are not on public display.

“I miss the days when, if someone messed up, you’d confront them in person and have a real conversation.
Now, we’ve become keyboard warriors, seeking public sympathy and temporary fame on SM instead of facing issues head-on. That’s why nothing changes! That ‘Lecturer’ might still not be fired!
Real life is REAL and no one truly cares about your struggles. While on SM, Start solving your problems in the real world. Wake up.” Wake up! Social Media isn’t REAL. Stop living in it. REAL IS REAL.”
