In Citizenship and the Diaspora in the Digital Age: Farooq Kperogi and
the Virtual Community, Toyin Falola examines how the members of the
Nigerian diaspora create a virtual community and instrumentalize the
digital age to speak about the nation and its failures, possibilities,
and promises. This book depicts individuals' relationships with
society and how the world's progressive shift toward technology and
globalization does not disregard the concept of society and its
members. As a result of this shift, people have been migrating to new
places without giving up their citizenship in their home countries.
This book explores how migrants are focused on the idea of a virtual
community, examines how citizens' roles have evolved through time, and
displays society's essential principles in this light. Furthermore, it
evaluates social commentaries enhanced by the dynamics of the digital
age, such as societal issues like education in Nigeria, the question
of democracy, challenges facing the country, and the development of a
national language. Many of these societal challenges are examined in
this book from the perspective of Farooq Kperogi, who has conducted
extensive studies and published on the above themes. This is balanced
against emerging facts, Nigerians' positions, and disregarded
realities. Kperogi's relentless writings on Nigeria make him a
preeminent figure whose positions are valuable to the understanding of
modern Nigeria.
