LAST SEEN
Let me risk share the story of one of my friends whose name I don’t have a choice but to withhold for several reasons;
One because of what they call security reasons (though I don’t know what it really means) ,but secondly because as I merely build my spiritual stature my brother knows how in addition to build his physique through mountains of the daily companion-African cake(Ugali) which Im tempted to think was a 1X2 doctor’s prescription.Final reason it’s because I still want to have my dental formula intact even after writing this story,which my friend can easily disorganize if I even mentioned three letter of his name which sounds like an email address if not an indian type of a taboo.
Lets just call him ZOM.
Now,I can describe my friend in my tired and archaic artificial grammar as “Seriointerndisosis”,This is the term that can come any close to the condition Zom is suffering from.(relax I will tell you what this condition is later,don’t bother your dictionary,and if you want go ahead)
One day I watched Zom program his day and as he verbally planned and thinking loudly and without realizing I was around) he uttered..” 6 hours whattsaping,9 hours sleeping (but with 3 hours of whatsapp In between) 6 hours facebooking,4 hours instagramming(doing what)”.
Oh Zom had programmed for 25 hours,He did this because he had to rush and change his Whatsap status to something like;
“ I am not addicted to WHATS APP. I only use it when I have time ……. lunch time, break time, bed time, this time, that time, any time, all the time. “
Or “TODAY has been cencelled. Go back to BED “
Or “Life is too short. Don’t waste it reading my status.”
The only time Zom makes sense is when he has tried something like “Don’t kiss behind the garden, Love is blind but the neighbors are not.”
But I would suggest this one for him, “ Hey there whatsapp is using me.”
You are laughing,I don’t know if its because Zom is hilarious or archaic,but any can do if not the two.
Zom last seen is like;

BIBLE; last seen 2014
CHURCH;Blocked

Are you any different from Zom? Could you also be suffering from Zom’sCondition,Seriointerndisosis’.
This means “Serious Internet Disorder”(come on,you thought it’s a scientific stuff,almost making it a prayer item.How many times will I tell you that my Sciences CLASS meanin g was-Come Late And Start Sleeping)anyway forgive me.
As a matter of fact we have a serious issue than we ever had with this generation.It is a generation where their entire life is in the smartphone.Their Job in Sport pesa,their recreation in FIFA,their brain in goggle,their fellowship in Whattsap,their courtship in Facebook,their lovers in gallery etc.
Young people have an intense affinity for social media.The day school opens is the day they begin anticipating for the holidays and the pathetic sandwiched days in school is merely imagined life;just like life in a dream.
At 00hrs the friends online are uncountable you will think that Mark Zuckerberg conveyed an urgent meeting.What do I see on your whatsapp?
Your last seen ? Then Zom retorts in that ear-piercing Amerucan accent “My last seen” was just to check your “last seen”…
You may not be any different from Zom.Tell me what kind of chats you are doing past 12?
Doing a bible exposition with sister Nameless?
Or conducting a deliverance service?
Many of the chats in the early wee hours especially with the members of the opposite sex are ungodly and immoral.
As I speak to Zom’s rabbit like ears (that’s what he calls mine) you also need to take radical and deliberate step to unshackle yourself from this dungeon of Seriointerndisosis.Else you will drown into procrastination,unproductivity,anti-social habits,time distortion etc.
Use the social media in ways to benefit yourself and others.
Else you will become a Zombie like Zom (oh I let the cat out of the basket.You now know Zom is Zombie)
Bye ,Greet Zom on my behalf,and I expect many of you to greet yourselves.
DON’T LET YOUR LAST SEEN BE YOUR LAST SIN.
