Popular Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has advised fans against allowing display of opulence on social media to force them into depression.
She gave the advice in a post on her Instagram page.
According to her, many celebrities that share beautiful vacation photos on social media most times saved for years to be able to pull off the vacation.
She said the same applied to flashy cars, houses, and phones displayed by the celebrities.
“It’s never really too rosy for people as it seems on social media,” Tonto Dikeh cautioned.
However, she said the fans could also give themselves good times if they learnt to save.
“A lot of you come on social media to see people who are having a great time with exotic trips and vacation, and you slip into depression, what you don’t know is that many people plan and save towards their trips.
“Some people plan a year before or even two years. A beautiful photo that shows a vacation might be a result of saving for many years.
“Don’t be deceived into thinking it’s that easy. It is not. Even the flashy cars and houses and phones you see with rich people, they plan and save towards it.
“They won’t tell you; all you know is that they just got a house.
“Go and ask them how long it took to save up, and the sacrifices they made to gather up the finances…
“See, it’s never really too rosy for people as it seems on social media. Just keep working hard. Save for important things. Save to spoil yourself,” Tonto Dikeh wrote.
