Taking to her Instagram account, she advised people not to be intimidated by what they see on social media as they are doing better that those individuals they admire.

“Believe everything you see on social media at your own peril ….
Trust me you are doing far better than a lot of people on this social media street! Don’t let anyone’s ‘packaging ‘ fool you!

Goodmorning my lovelies”

Nellyjane Esin: Add more volume

Some blocked headed people, e.g BBN fans when trying to cursed themselves…. will be like “she’s/his better than you and your generations” who told you that? Just caused he/ she was on screen?. We have a lots of people with same age group with them making it big out there too without the screen.

Walshak Kos-Trouble Rich: No be lie

Good Phone camera will make you think some people are better than you in real life but behind the fine pictures, there is hunger

Camera quality will make you think some marriages are good but some marriages look like fanta on social media but Alomo bitters in real life

Don’t ever try to compare yourself with people on social media because of what they post, nobody will ever post their failures here

Stay on your lane
