How Social Media Destroys Your Relationship
Social media has made it easier for people to know more about other peoples lives than ever before. Pictures of happy couples, usually tagged #couplegoals, have flooded social media blinding many young couples to the reality that people will only show what they want you to see. You only see the good times. No one shares their arguments, their bad moments or the numerous number of times they irritate each other. Couples only show the side that will bring them more likes and comments to gain social media popularity.
Social media can have a negative impact on relationships if misused. Excessive time spent, jealousy-inducing posts, privacy invasion, or online infidelity can strain trust and communication, potentially leading to relationship breakdowns.
The carefully curated images on social media can take a toll on your love life. Most times people compare their relationship to these social media relationships which look good on the outside and this has led to not only breakups but emotional abuse. You will end up putting pressure on your partner expecting them to be someone they are not, leaving you asking questions like “Why them, why not us? Why aren’t we doing this and that? Why don’t you do this like this person?”
It is important that you understand that no relationship is a bed of roses and comes with its ups and downs. Most importantly you have do what works for your relationship rather than comparing it to what you see on social media.
Here are some useful tips for you to apply in your relationship instead of comparing.
Find comfort within
Seeking validation or using others relationship to define yours is a sign that you do not have confidence in your current status. You might notice that everyone but you is getting worked up or others seem happier in their relationships than you. Don’t allow this to make you start questioning the state and progress of your relationship.
In order for you to feel more confident, fight the urge to let other couples benchmarks be a yardstick for measuring your relationship. Be happy in yours and put in efforts to make it work.
Avoid playing the blame game
Saying things like “Why aren’t we like that other couple?” or “If I was with him or her then things would be different,” only destroys the bond between you and your partner. It also breaks the trust since you blame your relationship challenges on your partner without taking responsibility.
Instead of putting the blame on your partner, focus on what you like about your connection. Remind yourselves of what made you fall in love. Go out of your way to do things for each other.
Get real with your friends
Swap relationship stories with your friends. Hearing them open up about their relationships and the struggles they face will kill any assumption you might have.
You and your friends will also be able to advise each other on how to handle the challenges you face. Sharing like this will give you a sense of relief as you realise that you are not alone. Ensure you do this with trusted friends who have your best interests at heart.
Turn jealousy into action
Your first reaction when you see those romantic getaways shared on social media might be envious however, you can turn this into positive action. Instead of letting that jealousy eat you up, organise a fun activity that you and your partner would enjoy taking part in.
Use these instances as reminders to get out and get active instead of spending countless hours online.
Take a break from social media
If you try everything else and it doesn’t work, take a break from social media for a few days or a couple of weeks. Spend this time reminding yourself of what really matters in life. Focus on being the best version of yourself and making things better in your life. And when you do go back online, unfollow anybody who doesn’t add value to your life.

Media personality Osi Suave says this may be the last detty december in Nigeria as rising costs is killing the fun
Media personality Osi Suave has shared his frustration over what he believes is the gradual collapse of detty december.
According to him, what used to be a fun and organic end-of-year culture has now been ruined by greed and over-commercialisation. Osi revealed that he has organised December concerts since 2018 but chose to sit out this year because costs have tripled while ticket sales are no longer enough to cover expenses.
He pointed out that almost everyone is now trying to cash out from December — from opening lounges and clubs to renting properties at inflated prices — all geared towards detty december profits.
In his words, the overload of businesses and excessive pricing has sucked the joy out of what once worked naturally.
“Congrats to everyone involved,” he added.

Daddy Freeze hosts actress Doris Ogala as she opens up on alleged relationship with Pastor Chris Okafor
Daddy Freeze went live with Nollywood actress Doris Ogala as she shared her side of the ongoing controversy involving Pastor Chris Okafor, whom she claims she dated for years before things fell apart.
According to Doris, her relationship with Pastor Chris began in 2017, long before the public drama. She said they met by chance in Abuja and that he told her he was divorced at the time. She also claimed she didn’t even know he was a pastor when they first connected.
Doris said their relationship quickly became serious. She alleged that Pastor Chris introduced her to his parents, invited her to his village in Anambra State, and treated the relationship like a real commitment. She described their bond as emotional, physical, and deeply personal, insisting it was genuine love, not a casual affair.
She further claimed that while Pastor Chris preached publicly, he was privately very dependent on her, calling her often, sharing personal struggles, and even relying on her for medical prescriptions through her doctor.
Addressing why she later married another man, Doris said family pressure played a major role. She explained that her eventual husband was someone from her past who resurfaced during a vulnerable period after her father’s death. Despite not being in love, she said her family pushed her into the marriage.
Doris admitted that while her marriage was ongoing, she remained emotionally connected to Pastor Chris. She openly acknowledged engaging in phone intimacy with him during that period but maintained that there was no physical sexual relationship between them while she was married.
She described her marriage as abusive and toxic, alleging repeated physical violence and emotional distress. According to her, Pastor Chris remained her emotional support during that time, which is why communication between them never completely stopped.
Doris also claimed she has evidence to back up her story, including chats and videos, which she says Pastor Chris later shared with his lawyers.
