"IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA, LEAVE. YOU MUSTN'T BE HERE" - Ronald Kenneth

Africa's Premier Smartphone Productivity Coach, Founder, Deronic_NG & Pioneer, #DeronicReachOut, Ronald Kenneth took to his Facebook page to advice followers and indeed all social media users to be careful of what they post. According to him, those who cannot abide by ethics should leave social media.

He said this as he made reference to a recent incident on Social media between him and a Facebook user from Ghana.

It appeared that the Ghanaian user mistook him for someone else who scammed him.


Ronald Kenneth posted this on his social media handles:

"BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA (Get your facts straight first)

On Saturday, 14th December, 2019 by 15:00 (GMT +1), I decided to do a random check on all my social platforms including my official Facebook page.

I discovered that one Narteh Jonas was seeking to tarnish my reputation online.

The dude was scammed and account hacked by one Kenneth on Facebook.

As naive as he is, he thought it was me.

So, because my name is Ronald Kenneth, I'm now the Kenneth that hacked his account????

I mean, how naive and insensible can people be?

I have said it before and I will say it again: "IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA, LEAVE. YOU MUSTN'T BE HERE"

However, if you must remain here, abide by the ethics that guide the online space (I'd begin a series with regards to this soon)

What was he thinking? There are several persons on Facebook who share the same surname or first name.

The dude actually constituted a nuisance online and I called on a few friends to  help me stop him or better still call his attention to the fact that he's parading the wrong person.

He was apprehended by my most trusted and loyal friends.

I learnt a very important/valuable lesson from this recent experience

1. Strive to attain & maintain a "reputable reputation" both online & offline ( A good name is better than riches). It would be easy for people to defend your interest when you are reputable and trustworthy.

2. Have a team/group of persons that you can rely on. See, social media is not supposed to be the end but means to an end. When you meet people on social media, seek to offer value and connect with them personally. Let your friendship transcend social media.
98% of the persons that stood by me were the friends I met here on Socials and created a real-time bond with.

3. Of all the people that you call your pals on Social media, just a few will be willing to stand by you when things go sour.
No matter how credible you are, some people will still know what's up with you and pretend like they don't know.

(Some friends are scam)
Take note of those ones.

PS

My attorney @ferdinand_kenneth  still thinks we should sue the dude.

🙄🙄"


A lot is happening on Social media. It appears the dude who made the post about Ronald Kenneth may have wanted to trend on Social media (but action was taken against him immediately).

It could have actually sincerely made a mistake. But then again, users should be careful to get their facts right before posting.
