Abstract

This study generated and content-analyzed Facebook and Instagram postings on agricultural messages by Nigerian farmers in three years  (2019-2021) within specific contexts and in comparison with postings similar to ones initiated by private individuals and government agencies as well as those posted at continental level on the two social media channels. While the data are graphically displayed, a paired-sample T-test was conducted to establish statistically significant differences in the agricultural messages posted on the two social media by Nigerian farmers and farmers from other countries in Africa. All four null hypotheses tested were rejected as statistically significant differences were established between the paired population means. It was also found that Nigerian farmers are accustomed to the use of social media in promoting agricultural-related messages, indicating their exposure to the diffusion of agricultural innovation in line with the trends in advanced nations. It was concluded that social media remains a viable tool for promoting agriculture, particularly during food insecurity and global economic crisis. It was recommended that the Nigerian government should provide an enabling environment for agricultural promotion in the digital age.

Abstract

As fake news, misinformation, and communication disorders continue to raise societal concerns, several countermeasures are emerging to combat this growing challenge. This study examines the role of social media in the spread of information disorder in Africa and evaluates how effectively three prominent fact-checking websites—FactCheckHub, Dubawa, and Africa Check—are addressing this communication crisis. Using a content analysis methodology, the research identifies common types of misinformation circulating on Nigerian social media, analyzes existing fact-checking techniques, and assesses the contributions of the selected platforms in mitigating information disorder. Drawing on academic frameworks related to misinformation, disinformation, and verification, the study explores how social media facilitates the spread of false narratives and the societal consequences that ensue. It contributes to broader discussions on media literacy, information integrity, and the cultivation of an informed society in the digital age by providing insights into the dynamics of disinformation in Nigeria and the critical role of fact-checking initiatives in addressing it.
