Social media’s mixed bag

Last week, the streets of Lagos were agog. Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg was in Nigeria where he met with a number of software developers and ICT entrepreneurs. He later met with top government officials, including President Muhammadu Buhari, in Abuja.
Speaking of his impression after meeting with the young people in Lagos, Zuckerberg noted: “The thing that is striking is the energy, the entrepreneurial energy. Here in Lagos and across the continent, things are changing rather quickly.”
Indeed, social networking has significantly altered the way the world once communicated. Recently, people from all lands and climes have been investing time and energy in social networking, more popularly known as social media. The youths are mostly the very active ones on various social media platforms.
