Anyone living in any city in this world will be aware of the phenomenon that is now social media. In recent years we have seen a significant shift from print media to online platforms. Social media has now become the go-to platform for the swift distribution of news and information to a potential audience of billions.

Most see it as swift and easy consumption of information, with little or no real effort necessary; the information is available on most hand held devices, so can be checked virtually anywhere. In Nigeria, over the last 10 years, we have seen everything from anonymous sites/handles to professional commentators who are known across several blog platforms. Unfortunately, with the growth of social media, we have also seen the growth of unprecedented...
