The session will host a seminar presentation on a book titled “Japa”: An Exploratory Study of the Roles of Social Media in an Out-Migration Trend in Nigeria’ by Dr. Damilola Adegoke.
Abstract:
This study seeks to understand the roles of social media in the new “Japa” migration trend in Nigeria. As part of this main objective, the study investigates the demographic characteristics of these new migrants—their age, gender, and socioeconomic status classifications. It also explores the challenges experienced by these new migrants before leaving and after arriving at their destination countries and asks if and how social media mitigates these challenges.
