The Psychology Of Rage-Driven Social Media: Facts Over Noise In The Abia Debate- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

You Cannot Declare Support For Tinubu While Your Supporters Insult Him Daily On Social Media: This Argument Is Built More On Speculation Than Facts – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

You Cannot Declare Support For Tinubu While Your Supporters Insult Him Daily On Social Media: This Argument Is Built More On Speculation Than Facts – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Second, no governor can control every social media comment made by supporters across the country. Social media is an open space where millions express opinions independently. Attempting to attribute every online criticism to Governor Otti is neither fair nor realistic. Third, the claim that Otti has not acknowledged federal…
