People with sense are not on social media—Frederick Leonard blasts online behaviour

Nollywood actor and filmmaker Frederick Leonard isn’t holding back when it comes to how he feels about social media lately.

In a recent post on his Instagram page, the actor opened up about a disappointing experience he had while scrolling through a comment section, and let’s just say—he’s not impressed with the online crowd.

“I was just going through social media and someone had just put up a post sharing his view on something and then I was going through the comment section,” he began.

Frederick admitted that he usually avoids comment sections altogether, and now he’s reminded why.

“I usually don’t go through the comment section because I have come to the conclusion that those who actually have sense are not in the comment section, people who have sense are not on social media.”

According to him, what pushed him to speak out was a comment made by a lady who was attempting to make a point—but led with an insult.

“Then I saw this lady wanting to make a submission but her submission started with an insult, calling someone who is old enough to be her father ‘an aging fool’. That was how she started her statement before she now even bothered to make her point.”

Frederick went on to say that he checked her profile and realized she was one of his followers. His response? “I clicked on her profile and saw she was following me. I blocked her. It is just terrible what social media has become.”

The post has sparked plenty of reactions, with many of his followers agreeing with his take on how toxic and disrespectful online spaces have become.
