| Long abstract | Rising as a strong platform for human communication; social media presents new opportunities for participation in socio-political affairs. Empowering ordinary individuals to be heard on a large scale, technological advancement vis-à-vis emergence of social media presents new solution-options to gaps in political communication and civic engagements. Notwithstanding, a deficit in women political participation remains a problem within African communities, particularly in Nigeria. Thus, this study examines issues in women political participation and the use of social media as a tool of political participation among Nigerian women. The study covered Ile-Ife community in the Ife-Central Local Government Area of Osun State. |
