Yes, it is true, social media provide platforms and numerous opportunities that help writers, firms, organizations and businesses to expand their various associations through marketing and advertisements. There are so many of them but among others, we have twitter.

TWITTER

 Twitter is a social media platform that helps people connect with peers, families and various organizations. They also help people get into with people who are far apart from us with respect to class and status. Influential and elite personalities are among the people who can be followed. Individuals who want to advertise and market their articles and contents on their various blogs should just tweet the links of their various URLs to their profiles to help them generate more viewership and readers.

They invite each other to view their current projects and works and also share them with friends who also go on to share the information with their various connections on other platforms.

FACEBOOK

Facebook also helps increase earnings. Individuals in the form of writers can post their URL links into their various statuses and also on the walls of their various friends. Firms and business organizations should also create profiles on Facebook and upload photos that are clear and also original which can engage users and also reflect on all the various descriptions of the company. Employees under these firms can also tag various friends with these brand photos. These photos appear in the notifications area of employee’s friends’ profiles as prompts and also reflect on their friend’s profiles that are anonymous to you. They take it from there and discuss with other friends. With the launch of the Facebook clickable hashtags, individuals, firms and various organizations would be able to see a feed of what other pages and people have been saying about their various projects, brands, goods and services. Social media help generate lots of traffic to individual’s content and also help put firms, companies and business organizations on top using advertisement.

WHY STAMMERING IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AFRICANS ARE IGNORANT OFF

One time I was shocked, was devastated when I saw a channel in Africa run adverts and interview people who have stammered on some of their experiences and how it has affected him. Because of stammering, He couldn’t take promotions and independently discarded himself from certain jobs like Journalism, Public Relations Officer and Customer Service because it dealt with meeting people every now and then and he didn’t have the energy to go about talking without thinking about how his body reacts every now and then. What happened out of his experiential knowledge was a group of people who were ignorant of the subject and were laughing mercilessly because they see it as a thing that is used to make fun of its victim and not something that has become a block to the victim or bearer realizing his true vision and potentials.

Stammering in Africa is not heard or talked about, sometimes it seems people do not even research about it and know the effects it has on its bearer so that people would know how to deal with a person with that problem. Everything has been covered with the colour of the skin of black people and there is no chance for a light to shine. Many people even regard people who stammer as people who do not share and are not competent enough but people who are closer to such people know what it’s all about.

If you have time, scroll through the number of countries who are part of the International Federation and you would be shocked at the numbers you would find. When I went down researching about the assistive device that seems to be suppressing the impediment in people, I just relaxed when I came across the SPEECHEASY device which was introduced some years back. The device has been around for long but how many of them are found on the African market. Their website directed me to a sales point in Africa where a message was duly sent via mail but up to the point of the author writing this post, no message has been gotten. Stammering seems to have taken a lot of stuff from capable Africans who could have done more to help the continent and the world at large.

Whatever happens, Africans should start appreciating the problems and research more into the issue so that children coming up would get help and be treated by various speech therapists or better still receive the SPEECHEASY DEVICE which would help salvage their situations and be free from ignorant Africans who see them as a prey towards their fun making moves.
