Senator Ojudu's concerns about the misuse of technology by social media users are valid, especially in Africa where social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok have become increasingly monetized. The spread of misinformation and falsehoods can damage the reputation of the journalism and media industries, and even have real-world consequences. To address this issue, some governments in Africa have taken regulatory measures. For example, South Sudan recently suspended social media platforms for spreading videos that sparked riots and deadly attacks. However, such measures must be balanced against the need to protect citizens' rights, particularly freedom of expression. In Nigeria, there are existing laws and regulations that govern the telecoms and media sectors, such as the Nigerian Communications Act and the Cybercrimes Act. These laws provide a framework for regulating online activities, but it's essential to ensure that any new measures taken do not infringe on citizens' rights. Ultimately, finding a balance between regulating social media to prevent the spread of misinformation and protecting citizens' rights is crucial. This may involve a combination of government regulation, self-regulation by social media platforms, and education and awareness campaigns to promote responsible social media usage. We are thankful to enjoy this great learning moment with him on our live show last week. This week, we go again, with so much steeze on steeze! 😊 A manifold viewing delight soon to unfold awaits you all from @nnemanetwork Please stay glued!

*#Recap #3600Seconds* On Monday this week (February 24), we were inspired by Matemo Kolo, the founder of Stymo Foundation in Lesotho. She is also a journalist and a radio presenter of the programs: ‘Life Issues’ and ‘The Youth are Strong’. Born with a physical disability which motivated her to challenge herself to grow through life as a 'differently abled' person, Matemo faced bullying and marginalization, but she refused to let her circumstances define her. Instead, she turned her pain into purpose, creating a foundation that empowers and supports other differently abled individuals. Her courage and determination are a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience. Yes, there is full ability in disability!
