ABSTRACT

In light of the Kano state Governoship election 2019, the Internet and its tools of  social media have been heralded as instrumental in facilitating the uprisings. This dissertation will look closely at the extent to which Kano states Youths used social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter in organizing and generating awareness of political mobilisation, in the uprisings that took place in Kano state in February 2019. This dissertation will use established theories of communication that were developed long before the advent of social media, to place its use within a wider context of communication, and to explain how the inherent characteristics of social networking that made it appealing to the Kano state Youth . The discussion will focus on the elections  in Kano, which have been widely publicized and followed by the international community, and aim to demonstrate that while possessing enormous potential to facilitate and expedite political mobilisation, the Internet is an inherently dialectical force that should not be treated solely as a liberator or oppressor.
