Taking to his Instagram story on February 12, 2025, Ogbonna highlighted the increasing trend of people being physically present but emotionally absent due to excessive phone usage.
He wrote, “We’ve normalised being present but absent. At hangouts, parties, and even in relationships person talks, the other scrolls. The second you pick up your phone, you leave the moment.
Your mind is in two places, but your connection suffers. Friendships are fading. Relationships are dying. Work is losing focus. Choose connection over distraction. Drop the phone. Be present.”
His post has sparked conversations online, with many agreeing that the digital age has made it harder for people to fully engage in face-to-face interactions. Others, however, argue that technology is an essential part of modern life and should not be entirely blamed for relationship struggles.
