Checkout 5 Reasons why Nigerians Like Showing Off On Social Media Because Of These – Smart Updates

Human beings love showing off their new accessories, luxuries they have acquired. This is the age of social media.

They don't have to cart it around, just share the images of what they have on social media. But I've never seen any country's citizens show more than Nigerians what they have on social media. They show off almost everything they do, what they buy, how they buy, their next move and actions.

Some people practically live their lives on social media. But trust me; most of the things they show are fakes. They 're living fake lives.

Here are five reasons why Nigerians show off so much on social media. Please note, this is my opinion.

To intimidate and oppress other people: many of us Nigerians like to prove that we're better off than other people. Most of the time, we 're showing off on social media, using what we have to intimidate other people, so they're going to feel oppressed. We Nigerians love have been exulted more than other people.

Enemies/Haters: So of us have created their own enemies in their heads by themselves. I read some posts where some people will show off their new acquisition, they keep on mentioning “haters” all around. My dear, if you are really concentrating on your business, you won’t have time for haters. You don’t need to show off to give them highpertention.

For Acceptance: Some of us feel that in order for us to be accepted by the society or people, we need to prove our achievements, show that we are progression. So when they see that we are making it, they would accept and focus their attention on us.

Look let me tell you, you owe no man any explanation. You don’t need to prove yourself by showing off.

Pressure: I don’t need to blame people in this category as much. Your mates are doing well updating on the new houses, cars and accessories they’ve got. But you, you are yet to find your feet. You will be on pressure to achieve so you can also show of your achievements. So when you have any little achievements, you show it off. Till you get the bigger ones, na so you go dey show off.

To encourage other people: I love this reason so much. They genuinely tell their testimonies to encourage other people, motivate them to work hard. When we see other people who have done it, we are encouraged to do better.
