VIDEO: Girl Trending Online
A new video of a young lady trending online because of her physical appearance has continued to attract attention across social media platforms. While many users are sharing the video for views and comments, experts are warning that such online trends can have serious effects on a person’s future.
Education and career advisers say viral videos focused on body appearance can affect chances of getting scholarship abroad, accessing free loan, securing work abroad, and getting good job opportunities. Many foreign schools, sponsors, and employers now check social media and online records before approving applications.
For students hoping to study with scholarship abroad, a controversial online image can raise concerns, even if the student has good grades. The same applies to people applying for free loan or grants, as funding bodies often look at personal conduct and online behavior.
Those planning to work abroad are also advised to be careful. Employers and visa officials regularly search applicants’ names online. A viral video can affect approval for work abroad and long-term job opportunities, both in Nigeria and overseas.
Experts are encouraging young people to protect their digital image by avoiding content that can be misunderstood or used against them in the future. Posting positive achievements, skills, and education-related content can improve chances of scholarship abroad, free loan, work abroad, and better job opportunities.
The public is also urged to stop spreading personal videos and focus on digital awareness. What trends online today can resurface tomorrow during applications for scholarship abroad, free loan, work abroad, or important job opportunities.
