Specifically, this study investigates the impact of mobile internet on the rise of digital activism among Nigerian university students from two universities in Nigeria during the 2012 Occupy Nigeria protest against the removal of petroleum subsidies by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The movement lasted for one month and took place in all the major cities in Nigeria."
Book Synopsis Cybersecurity in Nigeria by : Aamo Iorliam
Download or read book Cybersecurity in Nigeria written by Aamo Iorliam and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the use of digital surveillance for detecting, investigating and interpreting fraud associated with critical cyberinfrastructures in Nigeria, as it is well known that the country’s cyberspace and cyberinfrastructures are very porous, leaving too much room for cyber-attackers to freely operate. In 2017, there were 3,500 successful cyber-attacks on Nigerian cyberspace, which led to the country losing an estimated 450 million dollars. These cybercrimes are hampering Nigeria’s digital economy, and also help to explain why many Nigerians remain skeptical about Internet marketing and online transactions. If sensitive conversations using digital devices are not well monitored, Nigeria will be vulnerable to cyber-warfare, and its digital economy, military intelligence, and related sensitive industries will also suffer. The Nigerian Army Cyber Warfare Command was established in 2018 in order to combat terrorism, banditry, and other attacks by criminal groups in Nigeria. However, there remains an urgent need to produce digital surveillance software to help law enforcement agencies in Nigeria to detect and prevent these digitally facilitated crimes. The monitoring of Nigeria’s cyberspace and cyberinfrastructure has become imperative, given that the rate of criminal activities using technology has increased tremendously. In this regard, digital surveillance includes both passive forensic investigations (where an attack has already occurred) and active forensic investigations (real-time investigations that track attackers). In addition to reviewing the latest mobile device forensics, this book covers natural laws (Benford’s Law and Zipf’s Law) for network traffic analysis, mobile forensic tools, and digital surveillance software (e.g., A-BOT). It offers valuable insights into how digital surveillance software can be used to detect and prevent digitally facilitated crimes in Nigeria, and highlights the benefits of adopting digital surveillance software in Nigeria and other countries facing the same issues.
Book Synopsis Digital Youth and Social Movements by : Nwachukwu Egbunike
Download or read book Digital Youth and Social Movements written by Nwachukwu Egbunike and published by Pan-Atlantic University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Youth and Social Movements (Perspectives from Nigeria) is an incisive and significant book that engages the reader in a survey of three significant hashtags and social movements in Nigeria's digital history - #OccupyNigeria (2012), #EndSARS (2020) and #Obidient (2023). Essentially different from each other, but with a major commonality: they were all digitally-mediated youth movements. This book curates the generational differences among these protest movements. It presents an opportunity to reflect on how the promises of technology have been fulfilled but also how they have been thwarted by anti-democratic actors in Africa. Egbunike's Digital Youth and Social Movements (Perspectives from Nigeria) illuminate pathways to the efficacy and sustainability of social movements and their agenda. It is, therefore, a valuable source of insights and direction for movement builders and online activists - whether they are promoting political, social, environmental or other social justice causes - to navigate some of the perils that undermine digital technology's contribution to building inclusive, cohesive, and democratic societies in Africa. - Wairagala Wakabi, PhD. Executive Director, CIPESA (Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa), Uganda In addition to his 2018 book - Hashtags: social media, politics and ethnicity in Nigeria, Nwachukwu Egbunike has also published several scholarly essays on the intersections of social media and social movements in a Global South context. His new book, Digital Youth and Social Movements (Perspectives from Nigeria), builds on this solid scholarship, establishing him as a powerful voice on the subject of digital media, youth culture, and civic engagement in Nigeria. - James Yékú, PhD. Assistant Professor of African Digital Humanities, University of Kansas
Book Synopsis Cultural Netizenship by : James Yékú
Download or read book Cultural Netizenship written by James Yékú and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does social media activism in Nigeria intersect with online popular forms—from GIFs to memes to videos—and become shaped by the repressive postcolonial state that propels resistance to dominant articulations of power? James Yékú proposes the concept of "cultural netizenship"—internet citizenship and its aesthetico-cultural dimensions—as a way of being on the social web and articulating counter-hegemonic self-presentations through viral popular images. Yékú explores the cultural politics of protest selfies, Nollywood-derived memes and GIFs, hashtags, and political cartoons as visual texts for postcolonial studies, and he examines how digital subjects in Nigeria, a nation with one of the most vibrant digital spheres in Africa, deconstruct state power through performed popular culture on social media. As a rubric for the new digital genres of popular and visual expressions on social media, cultural netizenship indexes the digital everyday through the affordances of the participatory web. A fascinating look at the intersection of social media and popular culture performance, Cultural Netizenship reveals the logic of remediation that is central to both the internet's remix culture and the generative materialism of African popular arts.

Book Synopsis Cyber Warfare and Terrorism: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications by : Management Association, Information Resources
Download or read book Cyber Warfare and Terrorism: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications written by Management Association, Information Resources and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 1697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the rise of big data and the internet of things, terrorist organizations have been freed from geographic and logistical confines and now have more power than ever before to strike the average citizen directly at home. This, coupled with the inherently asymmetrical nature of cyberwarfare, which grants great advantage to the attacker, has created an unprecedented national security risk that both governments and their citizens are woefully ill-prepared to face. Examining cyber warfare and terrorism through a critical and academic perspective can lead to a better understanding of its foundations and implications. Cyber Warfare and Terrorism: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is an essential reference for the latest research on the utilization of online tools by terrorist organizations to communicate with and recruit potential extremists and examines effective countermeasures employed by law enforcement agencies to defend against such threats. Highlighting a range of topics such as cyber threats, digital intelligence, and counterterrorism, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for law enforcement, government officials, lawmakers, security analysts, IT specialists, software developers, intelligence and security practitioners, students, educators, and researchers.
Download or read book Cyber Mercenaries written by Tim Maurer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyber Mercenaries explores the secretive relationships between states and hackers. As cyberspace has emerged as the new frontier for geopolitics, states have become entrepreneurial in their sponsorship, deployment, and exploitation of hackers as proxies to project power. Such modern-day mercenaries and privateers can impose significant harm undermining global security, stability, and human rights. These state-hacker relationships therefore raise important questions about the control, authority, and use of offensive cyber capabilities. While different countries pursue different models for their proxy relationships, they face the common challenge of balancing the benefits of these relationships with their costs and the potential risks of escalation. This book examines case studies in the United States, Iran, Syria, Russia, and China for the purpose of establishing a framework to better understand and manage the impact and risks of cyber proxies on global politics.

Its topics range from civil service development in post-Soviet countries indicating that peer-to-peer learning is the way forward, to civil service reforms in China, Japan, and Korea in their quest to satisfy their citizens demands and expectations in the 21st Century. Other topics span across regional analyses by focusing on current dominant trends and challenges confronting administrative and civil service systems, vis-à-vis technology, innovation and “big data”, and their disruptive effects on society and government. This book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners, and would-be builders of the 21st Century world.
