Actor IK Ogbonna has expressed concerns about the devastating impact of phone addiction on modern relationships.
Ogbonna lamented the growing trend of people physically present in social interactions but mentally absent due to their excessive phone use.
He noted that this phenomenon is leading to a disconnection between people, causing relationships to suffer.
The actor urged people to be more mindful of their phone use, encouraging them to drop their devices and engage fully in the moment.
He wrote on Instagram: “We have normalised being present but absent at hangouts, parties and even in relationships. One person talks, the other person scrolls.
“The second you pick the phone, you miss the moment. Your mind is in two places, but it’s your connection that suffers.
”Friendships are failing. Relationships are dying. Work is losing focus. Choose connection over distractions. Drop the phones and be present”.
