Abstract

The youth of Nigeria, who were previously vital to the nation's potential, are now facing a crucial turning point. They encounter numerous obstacles that classify them as an endangered species. This research aims to investigate the factors endangering the future of our nation's youth, who are its hope and lifeblood, as well as how youth endangerment can be mitigated. A qualitative research design was used in this study to understand better the nature and character of youth endangerment in Nigeria. This theoretical study relied on secondary data from books, journal articles, and other publications to back up its claims. Multiple secondary sources were used to reduce the possibility of error and improve the study's reliability and validity. The study concludes that the most frustrating situation for Nigerian youth has been a lack of employment, which has pushed many youths to seek alternatives to salvage their economic situation, and concrete recommendations to reduce youth endangerment in Nigeria were made.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of social media on political awareness, voter turnout, and voter participation among residents of Delta State, Nigeria. Specifically, it examined how social media usage influences individuals' knowledge of political processes, their motivation to vote, and their attitudes toward political engagement. Data were collected from 341 respondents using a structured questionnaire designed to measure the relationship between social media and three key political variables. Pearson correlation analysis revealed strong and statistically significant positive relationships between social media use and political awareness, voter turnout, and voter attitudes and participation. These findings indicate that social media plays a vital role in enhancing political consciousness, encouraging electoral participation, and shaping voter behavior in the digital age. The study concludes that leveraging social media platforms can serve as an effective strategy for promoting civic engagement and strengthening democratic participation in the region. Recommendations were offered for policymakers, electoral bodies, and civic organizations to maximize the positive influence of social media while addressing potential limitations.
