In addition to observation and print materials from libraries and the internet for primary and secondary data, it also used questionnaire data from 400 respondents in the states of Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, and Abia. Mixed methodologies, a survey design, and believable tools are employed.

Language, social, psychological, and other consequences are among them. The study comes to the conclusion that hate speech is an example of improper language use. It suggests severe and strategic measures, language-based and technology-driven approaches, and operational legislation. https://afropolitanjournals.com/index.php/ajhcer/article/view/555 Share this: Click to print (Opens in new window) Print Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Like this:Like Loading...
