Nollywood actress Clarion Chukwurah has spoken on the detriment of social media.
In an Instagram post, she said she never ceases to wonder how it became so bad in Nigeria that online media has become an acceptable platform to misinform, witch hunt, blackmail, broadcast lies, and wish evil on others.
She questioned if it is because these news content providers and their sources are miserable and they can’t bear the thought that others are happy and doing great in their own space.
Sending a message to those peddling falsehoods about her, she noted how she hasn’t come this far not by her own power but by the word of God.
“I never cease to wonder how it became so bad in Nigeria that online media has become an acceptable platform to misinform, witch hunt, blackmail, broadcast outright lies, and just wish evil on others. Is it because some of these news content providers and their sources are so miserable, and they can not bear the thought that others are happy and doing great in their own space? SMH. To the unfortunate specimens out there peddling falsehood about me, I have come this far not by my own power because I have no power of my own, but by the WORD Of The LORD; Isaiah 5415 – 17… In Jesus Christ, I am secured and remain strong.
Genesis 12:3, Numbers 23: 23, Numbers 24…. 9….No man can curse who GOD has blessed.
Have a wonderful weekend.
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD”.
