The Power Of Social Media

Hey honey’s

Wow! Who would have known that one day I’d finally have my own blog? Times are changing and this social diva like myself had to keep up with the trend. I’m just so excited yaay! Can’t wait to share my ideas and opinions with you guys. Firstly I would like us to discuss a serious topic that touched my heart, I’m sure you are all aware of it as it was trending for weeks on social networks the hashtag #bringBackOurGirls.

I remember when I first heard about the inhuman tragedy that took place in Nigeria where 276 Chibok school girls were kidnaped was through twitter before witnessing it on the news, I kept seeing this #BringBackOurGirls all over it my timeline. I was just so lost and confused to what was happening till I saw my followers tweets and comments, that was when everything starting making sense it was revealed that on the 14^th of April 2014 that secondary school girls in Chibok in Borno State were kidnaped by Boko Haram which is a Islamist terrorist group that is in Northeast Nigeria http://goo.gl/AQMROp

 The power of social media is just amazing it was able to draw attention to this hash tag that was created by a Nigerian lawyer on twitter in an instant it spread both on Facebook and Instagram. This was a platform for the helpless parents and families to voice out for help to the world, to reach out to millions of people across borders to share their frustration and reveal the injustice ways of Boko Haram and to also make the world aware of their pain. Social media was used to show how people’s rights were being violated in Nigeria, I also didn’t know anything about Boko Haram till I was updated about it on twitter.

This gained mass attention since celebrities like Keri Hilson also known as “Miss Keri Babyyy”, Banky w, and the “ladies man” P Diddy and many more expressed their heart felt thoughts and sympathy on twitter and Facebook and encouraged people to support this initiative. This put pressure on the Nigerian government leaders and the president to find strategies on how they could get the girls back safely and to also seek help in other countries. The first lady of the United States of America Michele Obama also shared her sympathy on her twitter account to the parents of the girls. People around the world took pictures with the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls and pictures of the helpless crying parents and uploaded them on Instagram, Facebook and other social websites to tell their story.

Social media can indeed build or break your reputation. In this incident, the Nigerian government on social networks was perceived as a country that does not respect human rights, this put pressure on the government in tackling this since they were on a slow process in solving the issue and there were no official statements being made http://goo.gl/HonL8i

 .This incident had a strong affinity on a human perspective approach, how could anyone not want to protest the kidnapping on innocent children trying to get education?
