Veteran Nollywood actress and evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi, is calling for a serious upgrade in how people initiate conversations in the DMs.
In a recent Instagram video, the outspoken star didn’t hold back as she addressed what she sees as a frustrating trend—bland and directionless messages flooding her inbox.
“I don’t get it. I really don’t get it. Why would you come to someone’s DM and write hi? Hello, Beauty. For crying out loud, you think we all have time to waste?” she said with clear exasperation.
With her trademark composure and firm tone, Anunobi criticized the lack of intentionality behind these greetings, urging people to be direct and clear about their purpose.
“Oh, so we should start chit-chatting. Hey, then I write hello, then you say ‘How are you?’ That’s fine. Come on, now. Man, shoot your shot, write your intentions, write where you’re going to, where you’re coming from, come on.”
To her, DM etiquette is about more than just courtesy—it’s about respect for others’ time and being mindful in communication, especially in today’s fast-paced world.
Her message is simple: whether you’re making a business pitch, offering a compliment, networking, or even expressing romantic interest—get to the point.
“Don’t you know what’s called grabbing your opportunity? Obviously, common sense is not common,” she concluded.
Lesson learned: if you’re going to shoot your shot, do it with sense and substance.
