But everything good has its own negative side effects. For example, how do social sites aid the community? Yes, it makes communication easier but do we really see its side effects?
A man has been sending nude pictures to her daughter on Facebook for about two weeks now without knowing whom he was sending to. The daughter schools in the University of Nairobi as a law student but their home is in Kericho.
They don’t use their real names nor their real pictures on social sites, which make it difficult for them to recognise each other as a family.
On their profile, they have no clear identity and according to the girl, the dad was an engineer in South America while the she was an air hostess at Kenya Airways, yet these is a lecturer and her daughter who is taking law.
This is what most of us do on social sites thinking we are hiding our backgrounds.

A time came when the man was really salivating to see the beauty of a woman, he asked her to send her nude pictures which the lady was reluctant to comply but instead asked him to do so first. The man couldn’t wait since his agenda was to hit and run. He sent the pictures plus his private handset number which his wife had no clue of.
The wife has not had confidence in their relationship since she suspected the husband has been unfaithful to her for the past three years. The 42-year-old man has being having affairs with university students and some of the students he gives lecture to in exchange for money.
When the daughter received the pictures, she was shocked to see that it was her dad! She couldn’t hesitate to send them to her mum via WhatsApp.
The mum confronted her husband who denied but after the evidence, crocodile tears started rolling down his cheeks begging for forgiveness. The truth was now out and the woman, who is a business lady, has already filed for divorce. The husband regrets his action but he was sorry too late.
Sending nude pictures and videos to friends when making love and posting nudes on social sites has become the norm amongst the young people.
These habits have led to ruined relationships and low self-esteem.
Do we know how much it degrades our dignity and respect?
If this trend of continues, then our lives are in danger especially to our next generation.
