The Social Media Shouldn’t Be Left Unmanned!

MAZI EJIMOFOR OPARA

A special kind of after school virtual classes need to be included into a larger andragogic curriculum for Nigerian Social Media users. 

This should precede a holistic regulation of the social media space where decisive consequences must be attached to individual and corporate cyber misconduct (s). 

Note, the andragogy on cyber civics should be made compulsory for corporate and individual social media users. Where this fails to curb or address the issue of cyber misconduct, we can then make recourse to total regulation. 

My point is, the Social Media should never be left unmanned. The negative impact of this can erode all the gains we have made in other more critical areas of our lives whether as individuals, aggregate or group. 

Somehow, this can also function as a hidden curriculum in our pedagogy.
