Face book, a social networking site?

Hello, I have been on this social networking site as a passive member for quite some time now. During the course of my membership, I have had the opportunity to make a series of observations that tend to give me a heartache as bonafide northerner, a Muslim and most importantly a new believer in the Nigerian spirit[at least not until Mrs. Akunyili came on board].
So, my dear face bookers, after extensive comparison within the face book topics of our peers in the southern parts of this country, Ghana, and other west African countries, I unearthed a horrifying reality which is that; ,most of the topics being put forth within their social circles are topics that are close to reality, concerns everyday life and very much contemporary. They tend to put forth challenging issues to be critically discussed, analyzed and possible solutions be proffered. At the long run with every login into this supposed social network, they leave it better educated to face the challenges of our time[ because you never can tell what collective ideas could do to a virgin mind].
Let our circle movers and shakers begin the task of giving us important and realistic topics of life and living so we could be better off anytime we log in. the superficial love, relationships and dating topics are so fake and so not in touch with reality[ no offends intended please]. Let us discuss our country Nigeria and nation building, career and career opportunities, Africa[ the likes of Sardunas , ziks, Awolowos, Balewas, Abachas, Felas e.t.c] and their various contributions to our nation’s building and nationalism e.t.c. even when we deem it necessary to always discuss superficial fairytale issues, let us be realistic and not pick out topics from love magz.
Let us face reality and converge socially for a noble cause. Thank you for reading.
