Dear Manasseh, one cannot help but notice you are trending, for all the wrong and right reasons, i have learnt a few lessons this past months that you should learn too:
You are a seasoned journalist with a lot of following, friends, foe , frenemies, admirers, spectators, vocal and silent friends, learn who they all are and treat them accordingly
In being vocal, having opinions, taking stance, you may or not have stepped on toes , knowingly or unknowingly, accept a difference in opnion especially when you have become a public figure, not everyone is like you,
No matter how tempting it is, how angry you are, what some back you have, not everything, and everyone needs a response from you, back and forth leads to disrespect and name calling,unfortunately leaving even the issue at hand
Know the difference between social media hype,likes and who your real support system are
Where you have offended, own up, sincerely apologise and move on
People will come into your inbox, call you, whatsapp you to ask you questions, counsel,etc, please and please again, see no evil,hear no evil and talk no evil, if you do, it will come back to bite you in places you never knew existed in your body!! People have alliances you have no idea about!!
Remember, not everything needs a come back reply, not everything!! Know the difference between your friends who will tell you you goofed and it will not affect your friendship, and the social media friends!!
Today's news is tomorrow's. .........
Move on sir,move on, no matter how tempted you want to reply people, move on!!
Move on sir ,move on, no matter how tempted you want to reply people, move on!!

I'm calling her Great not because of her advice to Manasseh but what I read about her on the Women' Day. You have earn my respect lady! The best bit of your piece which I have taken and will keep forever " back and forth leads to disrespect and name calling,"
You may be hurt by the truth, but it's better than living with a lie. It’s generally better to tell your admirers and friends the truth than to lie to them to make them feel better. Being a good friend sometimes means telling your friends what they need to hear rather than what they want to hear. Dear Manasseh, if you take some time to check your timeline, you would realize that NANA KWAME often commends you. His response was genuine so don’t see him as an enemy.
A word to the wise.............
awuraba shu**tt ur gabbage and stop writing phoolishness any time, leaders from ethipia and senegal were there so look for better facts before talking, if this is not news then the news is rather ur dad wasted his spe*rms on something like u cos the outcome of his sweat is not sensible at all and that is u. If the summit is use**less then u are more use**less than the summit cos u lack all qualities of a sensible human so grow up first lady elect for phooolishness
nicely done!!!
Jonathan Lagos!
It's true that you don't have to respond every thing. It's also true that Manasseh does not respond to every thing. This response i think is appropriate.
Did he request advise
Great piece.....Full of wisdom.
Real Sense
