<p>Language is at the heart of some of the most contentious realities of our time from information technology to restrictions on speech, from disinformation on social media to opinions as facts and deepening polarization. Falola’s Citizenship and the Diaspora in the Digital Age could not have been better timed to help us interrogate how and what we engage on in social media and everyday speech as we struggle for new ways of being and governing in Nigeria. A potent reminder that language is not static and of Ngugi wa Thiongo’s advise that we “Use English instead of English using us."</p>

<p>This is a book of context and culture, considering Nigerian citizens and the diaspora holistically in the digital age. With the much engagement on blog sites by individuals and socio-political commentators, cultural explanations drawn from interactions with hybrid cultures makes room for critical and comparative analysis across Nigeria’s academic, political and social landscapes. Farooq Kperogi’s socio-political critiques and comments are engaged here to explore how virtual interactions between Nigeria and Diaspora have evolved in the recent past. How feasible is virtual nation-building? Can state-sponsored and state-supported virtual communities breed a more cohesive Nigeria? Here is a must read!</p>
