Advice to youth

“I would like to tell young people who follow me on Instagram Sibomana.Emma to not give value to the fake life people are showing on social media, especially on YouTube.

Young people should not trust such posts of misleading information, please work and earn instead of wishing to become someone you have seen on Youtube or Instagram just because he/she is playing himself/herself.” Sibomana warns youth.
