“Remove yourself from your old school WhatsApp group. It is a waste of time. About 99 % of old school WhatsApp groups we have in Africa are just for entertainment. They live in the past.
“They always talk about the good old days…I have a problem when we have a group and we are not sharing important things that could add value to our lives.
“Old school WhatsApp groups don’t talk about business ideas. They don’t talk about how members of the group can improve their lives. It is always about the good old stuff,” he said in a TikTok video.
Ekow added that even when successful people in the group try to empower others, there would always be those against it.
“Even if you are successful and want to empower the people in the group, some of the people who live in the past, some of the people who have secondary school mentality will tell you shut up that you were not even smart when we were in school and you are coming to advise us.

Reno Omokri advises rich folks to avoid school alumni WhatsApp group
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Reno Omokri had given reasons why rich people should avoid their school alumni WhatsApp group.
Taking to his Facebook page to give advice, Omokri said being on the WhatsApp group will attract unnecessary hatred from schoolmates who never had the person’s time in school.
According to Omokri, such schoolmates, who now believe that their poverty is the rich person’s responsibility to fix, will devote more time to pulling the person down than pulling themselves up.
