Description
Digital Activism and Biafra Agitation in Nigeria examines how social media and digital platforms have transformed Biafra-related activism in Nigeria, especially in the South East. The book traces the historical roots of the agitation, links it to civil war memory and marginalization narratives, and explains how movements such as MASSOB and IPOB used digital communication to expand visibility and mobilization. It also analyzes the role of hashtags, viral messaging, diaspora participation, and Radio Biafra in shaping protest communication, while discussing risks such as misinformation, polarization, surveillance, and repression. Finally, the book highlights the relevance of social work in conflict resolution, trauma support, mediation, human rights advocacy, and peacebuilding.
