Afod said many Nigerians tend to ignore critical matters once a trending topic or gossip emerges online.

He argued that more attention is often given to entertainment and distractions than to issues that require serious public engagement.

According to him, this behaviour needs to change if society is to remain focused on meaningful development and accountability.
