Veterans of diaspora activism
an overview of ict uses amongst nigerian migrant networks
Shola Olabode
pp. 129-148
This chapter considers the uses of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and new forms of socio-political protests within the Nigerian diaspora. The two cases examined, Occupy Nigeria and the BringBackOurGirls protests through a rich set of empirical evidence, ethnographic observation, secondary data and interviews, provide unique examples of the struggles of the Nigerian diaspora to influence change in contemporary Nigeria. Once such issues become public knowledge, pressure mounts on the government and other relevant actors owing to media exposure.
